ServiceNow Generate a Password Function

ServiceNow Generate a Password Function


e.g. use for AD pwd

var spassword = generatePassword(10);
gs.print(spassword);

function generatePassword(len) {
var length = (len) ? (len) : (10);
var string = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; //to upper
var numeric = '0123456789';
var punctuation = '!@#$%^&*';
var password = "";
var character = "";
var crunch = true;
while (password.length < length) {
entity1 = Math.ceil(string.length * Math.random() * Math.random());
entity2 = Math.ceil(numeric.length * Math.random() * Math.random());
entity3 = Math.ceil(punctuation.length * Math.random() * Math.random());
hold = string.charAt(entity1);
hold = (password.length % 2 == 0) ? (hold.toUpperCase()) : (hold);
character += hold;
character += numeric.charAt(entity2);
while(password.includes(punctuation.charAt(entity3))) {
entity3 = Math.ceil(punctuation.length * Math.random() * Math.random());
}
character += punctuation.charAt(entity3);
password = character;
}
password = password.split('').sort(function() {
return 0.5 - Math.random();
}).join('');
return password.substring(0, len);

//regex alternative:
/*var sRegexQ='/^.{'+len+'}/'
var pattern= new SNC.Regex(sRegexQ);
var results = pattern.match(password);
gs.print(results);
*/
}

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 ; } } }
