ServiceNow Service Catalog Advanced Reference Qualifier in SCOPED app

ServiceNow Service Catalog Advanced Reference Qualifier in SCOPED app


observations:
  • the script include is created within the scoped app but needs to be accessible from all scopes
  • client callable box does not need to be ticked


example calling from the ref qual field on the catalog variable (lookup select box):


javascript:'sys_idIN' + new x_cls_clear_skye_i.ClearSkyeTableServerSide().retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account)


example calling from the ref qual field on the catalog variable (list collector):

javascript:'sys_idIN'+new x_cls_clear_skye_i.ClearSkyeTableServerSide().retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account.toString())




note the 'variable attributes' field on the variable:

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=group

(my observation is that ref_qual_elements=account causes the filter to BREAK!! So leave it out

also, it does not appear to be possible to pass the value of another reference variable using .retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account) but I managed to get it working using 
.retrieveMemberships(current.variables.account.toString())

seems necessary to click the 'run filter' button on the list collector to pull back the results
)

example script include code 1 - simple example:


var ClearSkyeTableServerSide = Class.create();
ClearSkyeTableServerSide.prototype = {
initialize: function() {},

retrieveMemberships: function(acc) {

var aReturnVals = [];

aReturnVals.push('775fafa697e5ad10df843a300153afb6');
aReturnVals.push('9aaf672a97e5ad10df843a300153af0b');
return (aReturnVals);
},

type: 'ClearSkyeTableServerSide'
};

example script include code 2 - using a glideRecord:

retrieveMemberships: function(acc) {

//gs.warn('acc=' + acc + '::ClearSkyeTableServerSide.retrieveMemberships');
var aReturnVals = [];
var grAc = new GlideRecord('x_cls_clear_skye_i_account');
grAc.addQuery('sys_id', acc);
grAc.query();
if (grAc.next()) {
var grMem = new GlideRecord('x_cls_clear_skye_i_m2m_groups_ilm_objects');
grMem.addQuery('ilm_object', grAc.sn_object_id);
grMem.query();
while (grMem.next()) {
aReturnVals.push(grMem.sys_id+'');
}

} else {
gs.warn('REC NOT FOUND::ClearSkyeTableServerSide ['+acc+']');
}
return (aReturnVals);
},

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 )){...
