Skip to main content

SCRIPT INCLUDES: return multi values using multi functions in the same si call session

EXAMPLE REQUIREMENT:
return all RITM variables in the main function, then return sys_ids in 2 separate functions

SCRIPT INCLUDE CODE:

var lib_request = Class.create();
lib_request.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
        this.room = '';
        this.build = '';
    },

    retrieve_variables: function(RITMsysid) {
        /*call the function this way:
var si=new cu_request().retrieve_variables('f9405a06db859cd0be49fe03f39619ee');
gs.print(si);
*/
        var arrReturn = [];
        try {
            var grRITM = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
            if (grRITM.get('sys_id', RITMsysid)) {
                var RITMvariables = grRITM.variables.getElements();
                for (var ix = 0; ix < RITMvariables.length; ix++) {
                    var question = RITMvariables[ix].getQuestion();
                    //gs.log(question.getLabel() + ":" + question.getValue());
                    var varValue = question.getDisplayValue();
                    var varLabel = question.getLabel();
                    if (varLabel == 'Building' || varLabel == 'Room') {
                        varValue = question.getValue();
                    }
                    arrReturn[ix] = (varLabel + ":" + varValue);
                }
            }
        } catch (ex) {

        }
        return arrReturn;
    },

    retrieve_variables_ootb: function(RITMsysid) {
        // Get the RITM variable data
        var build = "";
        var room = "";

        var keys = [];
        var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();
        set.setRequestID(RITMsysid);
        set.load();
        var vs = set.getFlatQuestions();
        var vardata = "";

        for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) {
            if (vs.get(i).getLabel() != '') {

                vardata = vardata + ('     ' + vs.get(i).getLabel() + " : " + vs.get(i).getDisplayValue() + "\n");

                if (vs.get(i).getLabel() == 'Building') {
                    build = vs.get(i).getValue();
                }
                if (vs.get(i).getLabel() == 'Room') {
                    room = vs.get(i).getValue();
                }

            }
        }
        this.room = room;
        this.build = build;
        return vardata;
    },

    variables_room: function() {
        return this.room;
    },
    variables_building: function() {
        return this.build;
    },

    type: 'lib_request'
};

CALL THE SCRIPT INCLUDE:

var si= new cu_request();
var vars=si.retrieve_variables_ootb('5430b054dbd590d083986b4bd396zzzz');
gs.print(vars);
var sroom=si.variables_room();
var sbuilding=si.variables_building();
gs.print('ROOM:' + sroom);
gs.print('BUILDING:'+sbuilding);

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 )){...
