KB1575415 - How To Remove Unnecessary Label Cache Entries of a Flow/Subflow/Action

11:43

Apparently, running the background script detailed in the SN KB should resolve the issue

once happy, modify the fix script below to set debugmode to false

---

Fix script:

// README

// This script updates and removes unnecessary label cache entries of a flow/subflow (defintion and master snapshot).

//

// IMPORTANT NOTES: 

// This script only deletes the unnecessary label cache in the server. UI can hold a copy of a label cache.

// Therefore refresh the browser that has the action opened once this script is executed for the action.

// If this script is executed and the action is saved using UI, the previous label cache (before the delete)

// will be saved since the label cache from the UI will be sent to the server and saved.

// Script Parameters

// If true then do not actually modify the flow/subflow's label cache (debug mode). If false then update the flow/subflow's label cache (real mode).

var debugMode = true;

// If empty, then execute for all flow/subflow definition and master snapshot files. Otherwise, only run for the flow/subflow/action with name = targetName.

var targetName = "";

// If true then it logs more debug messages.

var skipDetails = false;

// Code

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 )){...

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 )
