ServiceNow Scriptable service catalog variables - update a variable

e.g. back-fill a missing variable


var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item'); gr.addActiveQuery(); gr.addQuery('cat_item', '8e6430cadbaf9c1011eaa0214b96xxxx');//--general request gr.query(); var bUpdate = false; //bUpdate=true; var iCount=0; while (gr.next()) { if (gr.variables.request_type == '') { gs.print(gr.number); iCount++; if (bUpdate) { gr.variables.request_type = '38'; gr.update(); //break; } /*var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet(); set.setRequestID(gr.sys_id); set.load(); var vs = set.getFlatQuestions(); for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) { if (vs.get(i).getLabel() != '' && vs.get(i).getDisplayValue() != '') { gs.print(vs.get(i).getName() + '; ' + vs.get(i).getLabel() + ': ' + vs.get(i).getDisplayValue()); } } */ } } gs.print('TOTAL: ' + iCount);

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 ; } } }
