Kill a workflow wait block

this can be accomplished by a UI action (button) on the wf_executing table

this can either be
server side code:

var url= /sys_trigger_list.do?sysparm_query=nameLIKE' + current.sys_id + '&sysparm_list_mode=grid';
action.setRedirectURL (url);


or client side code:
tick the client box
in the onclick box, enter: go_to_trigger();
in the script box enter:

function go_to_trigger(){
    var grT=new GlideRecord('sys_trigger');
     grT.addQuery('nameLIKE' + g_form.getUniqueValue() );
     grT.query();
     if (grT.next()){
          var url=new GlideURL('/sys_trigger.do');
          alert('redirecting to sys_trigger entry');
            url.addParam('sys_id', grT.sys_id);
           g_navigation.open(url.getURL(), '_blank');
      }

}

note: you may need to enable popups in the browser for the client option

simply navigate to the sys_trigger, and update the 'next action' date field to 30 seconds from now, and job done! watch the workflow free itself up

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 ; } } }
