ServiceNow Workflows: Give a workflow a nudge from business rule

 ServiceNow Workflows: Give a workflow a nudge from business rule

This is an example of how to "nudge" a workflow to ensure a wait for condition is re-evaluated (e.g. scripted wait for with a GlideRecord)

as an alternative to broadcast event to workflow where you want to steer clear of events


// Give the workflow a nudge to re-evaluate its Wait for condition
var req = new GlideRecord('task');
if (req.get(current.parent)) {
var wf = new global.Workflow().getRunningFlows(req);
while (wf.next()) {
new global.Workflow().broadcastEvent(wf.sys_id, 'update');
}
}

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 ); }

ServiceNow - script include: build up the results as a JSON object (array) - example 2

function call var sCurrentGroupMembers = new <script_include> (). getGroupMembers ( group_sysid ); gs . print ( 'sCurrentGroupMembers:' + sCurrentGroupMembers ); var oGroupMembers = JSON . parse ( sCurrentGroupMembers ); gs . print ( JSON . stringify ( oGroupMembers . users )); oNewGroupMember = JSON . parse ( group_members ); var oGroupConfig = getGroupDeltas ( oGroupMembers . users , oNewGroupMember ); gs . print ( JSON . stringify ( oGroupConfig . remove )); gs . print ( JSON . stringify ( oGroupConfig . add )) output : *** Script: sCurrentGroupMembers: {"manager":"3b2649efdb0f8c10cc0652f3f39xxxxx", "email":"", "type":"33a2226edb99c340edfc7cbdae96xxxx", "description":"Created for xyz", "users":[{"user":"3b2649efdb0f8c10cc0652f3f396xxxx"},{"user":"856a8f71db3d73041b4ffc45ae96196a"},{"user":"3752771
