Script a web service call into a data source

 see

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-administration/page/administer/import-sets/reference/custom-type-data-source.html


data loader script:


(function loadData(import_set_table) { //--https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-administration/page/administer/import-sets/reference/custom-type-data-source.html var si = new test_outbound();//--call a web service via script include var resp = si.testUser_singleUser(); //gs.log('RESPONSE=' + resp); var obj = JSON.parse(resp); gs.log('ID=' + obj.result.id); //--do this the first time round to create the columns /*import_set_table.addColumn('id', obj.result.id); import_set_table.addColumn('email', obj.result.email); import_set_table.addColumn('firstname', obj.result.known_as); import_set_table.addColumn('lastname', obj.result.surname);*/ var map = {}; map['id'] = obj.result.id; map['email'] = obj.result.email; map['firstname'] = obj.result.known_as; map['lastname'] = obj.result.surname; import_set_table.insert(map);

//--array example:
//sNotes += results[i].appointments[0].role;

})(import_set_table);








transform map (on the data source):






can then code a scheduled import on the data source

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 )){

Get URL Parameter - server side script (portal or classic UI)

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }
