Extracting keys from a very large JSON response

 can do this using notepad++ and regex

example - retrieve only keys containing 'value':

 

 "appRoles": [
    {
      "allowedMemberTypes": [
        "Application"
      ],
      "description": "Allows the app to read access reviews, reviewers, decisions and settings in the organization, without a signed-in user.",
      "displayName": "Read all access reviews",
      "id": "d07a8cc0-3d51-4b77-b3b0-32704d1f69fa",
      "isEnabled": true,
      "origin": "Application",
      "value": "AccessReview.Read.All"
    },
    {
      "allowedMemberTypes": [
        "Application"
      ],
      "description": "Allows the app to read, update, delete and perform actions on access reviews, reviewers, decisions and settings in the organization, without a signed-in user.",
      "displayName": "Manage all access reviews",
      "id": "ef5f7d5c-338f-44b0-86c3-351f46c8bb5f",
      "isEnabled": true,
      "origin": "Application",
      "value": "AccessReview.ReadWrite.All"
    },
    {
      "allowedMemberTypes": [
        "Application"
      ],
      "description": "Allows the app to read, update, delete and perform actions on access reviews, reviewers, decisions and settings in the organization for group and app memberships, without a signed-in user.",
      "displayName": "Manage access reviews for group and app memberships",
      "id": "18228521-a591-40f1-b215-5fad4488c117",
      "isEnabled": true,
      "origin": "Application",
      "value": "AccessReview.ReadWrite.Membership"
    },
    {
      "allowedMemberTypes": [
        "Application"
      ],
      "description": "Allows an app to read all acronyms without a signed-in user.",
      "displayName": "Read all acronyms",
      "id": "8c0aed2c-0c61-433d-b63c-6370ddc73248",
      "isEnabled": true,
      "origin": "Application",
      "value": "Acronym.Read.All"
    },

  

in notepad do search>select regex>

enter this regex:

"value"[ :]+((?=\[)\[[^]]*\]|(?=\{)\{[^\}]*\}|\"[^"]*\") 

and replace with empty

 

(example of an OR search:

("value"[ :]+((?=\[)\[[^]]*\]|(?=\{)\{[^\}]*\}|\"[^"]*\"))|("id"[ :]+((?=\[)\[[^]]*\]|(?=\{)\{[^\}]*\}|\"[^"]*\"))

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 )){...
