AJAX call example 1: return multiple values

AJAX call example 1: return multiple values

Client script code:

//--author: RDS Feb 2018
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        // return;
    }
    //--default the line manager and job title from requested for field
    g_form.setValue('job_title', '');
    g_form.setValue('line_manager', '');
    if (newValue!=''){
        var ga = new GlideAjax('my_ajax_funcs_sc');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'm_getuserinfo');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_usersysid', newValue);
            ga.getXML(function(serverResponse){
              var result = serverResponse.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("result");
              var message = result[0].getAttribute("message");
              //alert(message);
              //--get favorite elements
              var favorites = serverResponse.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("favorite");
              for(var i = 0; i < favorites.length; i++) {
                  var name = favorites[i].getAttribute("name");
                  var value = favorites[i].getAttribute("value");
              }

        });
    }
}

Script include script (client callable):

var my_ajax_funcs_sc = Class.create();
my_ajax_funcs_sc.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
   
    m_getuserinfo: function(){
        //--
        var userSYSID=this.getParameter('sysparm_usersysid');
        var sResult1='';
        var sResult2='';
        var result = this.newItem("result");
        result.setAttribute("message", "returning all favorites");
        //...complete the code...
        this._addFavorite('result1', sResult1);
        this._addFavorite('result2', sResult2);
        return result;
    },

    _addFavorite : function(name, value) {
        var favs = this.newItem("favorite");
        favs.setAttribute("name", name);
        favs.setAttribute("value", value);
    },

    type: 'my_ajax_funcs_sc'
});

ServiceNow timeout settings for virtual agent chat

  After connecting to live agent User is connected to live agent and not responding to live agent chat or distracted. The below properties controls the timeout settings, the OOB settings for reminder is [180 sec] and for cancelling the chat is [360 sec]. The job is default configured to 2 min so I believe no tweaking is required here.  Property -   com.glide.cs.idle_chat_reminder_timeout                  com.glide.cs.idle_chat_cancel_timeout Scheduled job   - Idle Chat Timer Task   https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=1453b03bdbaad0109e691ea668961929   (ServiceNow ) 

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...
