ServiceNow GlideRecord "find"

 see docs

Example

This example shows how to find a record in the Incident table with "Critical" in the short description field.

var now_GR = new GlideRecord("incident");
now_GR.query();
var shortDescription = "Critical";
if (now_GR.find("short_description", shortDescription)) {
  gs.print("An incident with the specified field value was found");
  var recordID = now_GR.getValue("sys_id");
  gs.print("Found in the following record: " + recordID);
} else {
  gs.print("An incident with the specified field value was not found");
}

Output

An incident with the specified field value was found
Found in the following record: 552c48888c033300964f4932b03eb092

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 / 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 ; } } }
