Catalog Client Script: how to determine if loaded in Service Portal or Platform UI?

Basic principle is to use the URL via top.location which will be different in service portal:


function onLoad() {
    //shared functions for form load
    var urlString=top.location.toString();
    var bPortal=false; //--loaded from Service Portal?
    if(urlString.indexOf('rp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=')>-1){
        bPortal=true;
    }
   
    //--set hidden field--store sys id for ref qualifiers (referenced in script include MAB_refqual_functions)
    //--Cat item id:
    var itemID='';
    try{
        if (bPortal){
            itemID= g_form.getSysId(); //--service portal friendly
        }else{
            //--standard servicenow form
            itemID= gel('sysparm_id').value;
        }
    }catch (ex){
         //--
        alert('An error has occurred in the form load ' + ex.toString());
    }
    g_form.setValue('hidden_catitem_sysid',itemID );
    //alert(g_form.getValue('hidden_catitem_sysid'));
}

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 )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep or gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
