I created a form using UI Page and am trying to have some fields autopopulated onChange. I have a client script that works for the most part, but the issue arises when certain fields need to be dot-walked in order to be autopopulated. I've read that dot-walking will not work in client scripts for scoped applications and that a GlideAjax code will need to be used instead. I'm not familiar with GlideAjax and Script Includes, can someone help me with transitioning my code?
My current client script looks like this:
function beneficiary_1(){
var usr = g_user.userID;
var related = $('family_member_1').value;
var rec = new GlideRecord('hr_beneficiary');
rec.addQuery('employee',usr);
rec.addQuery('sys_id',related);
rec.query(dataReturned);
}
function dataReturned(rec){
//autopopulate the beneficiary fields pending on the user selection
if(rec.next()) {
$('fm1_ssn').value = rec.ssn;
$('fm1_address').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.address;
$('fm1_email').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.email;
$('fm1_phone').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.mobile_phone;
var dob = rec.date_of_birth;
var arr = dob.split("-");
var date = arr[1] + "/"+ arr[2] + "/" + arr[0] ;
$('fm1_date_of_birth').value = date;
}
}
fm1_address, fm1_email, and fm1_phone do not auto populate because the value is dot walking from the HR_Beneficiary table to the HR_Emergency_Contact table.
How can I transform the above code to GlideAjax format?
I haven't tested this code so you may need to debug it, but hopefully gets you on the right track. However there are a couple of steps for this.
Create a script include that pull the data and send a response to an ajax call.
Call this script include from a client script using GlideAjax.
Handle the AJAX response and populate the form.
This is part of the client script in #2
A couple of good websites to look at for this
GlideAjax documentation for reference
Returning multiple values with GlideAjax
1. Script Include - Here you will create your method to pull the data and respond to an ajax call.
This script include object has the following details
Name: BeneficiaryContact
Parateters:
sysparm_my_userid - user ID of the employee
sysparm_my_relativeid - relative sys_id
Make certain to check "Client callable" in the script include options.
var BeneficiaryContact = Class.create();
BeneficiaryContact.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
getContact : function() {
// parameters
var userID = this.getParameter('sysparm_my_userid');
var relativeID = this.getParameter('sysparm_my_relativeid');
// query
var rec = new GlideRecord('hr_beneficiary');
rec.addQuery('employee', userID);
rec.addQuery('sys_id', relativeID);
rec.query();
// build object
var obj = {};
obj.has_value = rec.hasNext(); // set if a record was found
// populate object
if(rec.next()) {
obj.ssn = rec.ssn;
obj.date_of_birth = rec.date_of_birth.toString();
obj.address = rec.beneficiary_contact.address.toString();
obj.email = rec.beneficiary_contact.email.toString();
obj.mobile_phone = rec.beneficiary_contact.mobile_phone.toString();
}
// encode to json
var json = new JSON();
var data = json.encode(obj);
return data;
},
type : "BeneficiaryContact"
});
2. Client Script - Here you will call BeneficiaryContact from #1 with a client script
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var usr = g_user.userID;
var related = $('family_member_1').value;
var ga = new GlideAjax('BeneficiaryContact'); // call the object
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getContact'); // call the function
ga.addParam('sysparm_my_userid', usr); // pass in userID
ga.addParam('sysparm_my_relativeid', related); // pass in relative sys_id
ga.getXML(populateBeneficiary);
}
3. Handle AJAX response - Deal with the response from #2
This is part of your client script
Here I put in the answer.has_value check as an example, but you may want to remove that until this works and you're done debugging.
function populateBeneficiary(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
answer = answer.evalJSON(); // convert json in to an object
// check if a value was found
if (answer.has_value) {
var dob = answer.date_of_birth;
var arr = dob.split("-");
var date = arr[1] + "/"+ arr[2] + "/" + arr[0];
$('fm1_ssn').value = answer.ssn;
$('fm1_address').value = answer.address;
$('fm1_email').value = answer.email;
$('fm1_phone').value = answer.mobile_phone;
$('fm1_date_of_birth').value = date;
}
else {
g_form.addErrorMessage('A beneficiary was not found.');
}
}

I am trying to work out how to store a javascript object in local storage that has a few items as well as an array of objects, if that is possible. To then extract the data from the local storage and send to a java servlet using ajax, then extract the data from the java HttpServletRequest. Here is some of the code I have written. It's a bit too complex to put the entire code base here. I have multiple forms which a user completes and as they move between forms I store the data entered into local storage.
const object = localStorage.getItem(scenarioName);
let scenarioObject = JSON.parse(object);
if (formIsValid) {
scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE = 420000;
scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES = 0.14;
scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES = 120;
scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE = 200000;
scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION = 1500;
let objectString = JSON.stringify(scenarioObject);
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName, objectString);
}
To extract the data from local storage I do the following:
const object = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
const jsonString = JSON.parse(object);
const yourSuperBalance = jsonString.SUPER_BALANCE;
$("#your-super-balance").val(yourSuperBalance);
const yourInvestmentFees = jsonString.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES;
$("#super-investment-fees").val(yourInvestmentFees);
const yourSuperAdminFees = jsonString.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES;
$("#super-admin-fees").val(yourSuperAdminFees);
const yourInsurance = jsonString.LIFE_INSURANCE;
$("#life-insurance").val(yourInsurance);
const yourAnnualSuperContribution = jsonString.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION;
$("#your-annual-lump-sum-super-contribution").val(yourAnnualSuperContribution);
This all works fine, but now I wanted to add an array of objects from a table. I could not figure out a way to add this so I ended up storing two items in local storage. One for all the form data and one for the table data. I didn't like this approach but couldn't get it to work otherwise. Here is how I did the table:
function getSuperContributionsTableDataString(table) {
let yourSuperContributionsTableData = [];
let jsonData;
// commence for loop at 1 because the first row will be the header row and we want to skip that
for (let i = 1; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
let row = table.rows[i];
// first check all cells in row have a value, if not ignore
if (row.cells[0].innerText !== "" && row.cells[1].innerText !== "" && row.cells[2].innerText !== "") {
// As we are pushing the last element pushed becomes the first element in the array
// therefore, we push the before or after tax first and age last
jsonData = {};
jsonData[SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[2].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[1].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[0].innerText;
yourSuperContributionsTableData.push(jsonData);
}
}
return JSON.stringify(yourSuperContributionsTableData);
}
let superContributionsTableDataString = getSuperContributionsTableDataString(
document.getElementById("your-extra-super-contributions-table"));
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName+ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION, superContributionsTableDataString);
This all worked but then I had to figure out how to send this data to the server using ajax. Without the table, everything was working fine as follows:
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
let activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
let item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
let passedData = JSON.parse(item);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: passedData,
success: function (data) {
const SUCCESS_INT = data.length - 1;
if (data[SUCCESS_INT].SUCCESS === FAIL) {
displayPopupMessage("Error saving scenario ", "Save Scenario");
}else {
displayResult();
}
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
}
I modified this function as follows to add the table data and everything in the java servlet code went wrong.
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
let activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
let item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
let passedData = JSON.parse(item);
// superannuation table
const superTable = activeScenario+ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION;
// this is already stringified
const superTableItem = localStorage.getItem(superTable);
const superTableData = '&' + ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION + "=" + superTableItem;
const formData = passedData + superTableData;
console.log("formData " + formData);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: passedData + superTableData,
success: function (data) {
const SUCCESS_INT = data.length - 1;
if (data[SUCCESS_INT].SUCCESS === FAIL) {
// TODO display messages
displayPopupMessage("Error saving scenario ", "Save Scenario");
}else {
displayResult();
}
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
}
Can anyone advise how best to store a javascript object in local storage that has an item inside the object which is an array of objects for a table? How do I store this in local storage, retrieve it from local storage, send it to the java servlet using ajax and then retrieve it from the HttpServletRequest. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
I worked out a way to do this. I shall fully explain the situation and then my solution to the problem. Not sure if this is the best solution but it does work.
The situation is that I have multiple forms where the user enters data for calculations, including a table of data. I wanted to store this data on local storage for later retrieval next time the user uses the website. The calculations are done in Java on the server so when the user clicks on something like "calculate" the data in local storage is then sent to the server to perform the calculations and the result is sent back.
I needed to store a javascript object containing some elements plus a table, so basically a javascript object with an array inside it.
Collect data from the table
function getSuperContributionsTableDataString(table) {
let yourSuperContributionsTableData = [];
let jsonData;
// commence for loop at 1 because the first row will be the header row and we want to skip that
for (let i = 1; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
let row = table.rows[i];
// first check all cells in row have a value, if not ignore
if (row.cells[0].innerText !== "" && row.cells[1].innerText !== "" && row.cells[2].innerText !== "") {
// As we are pushing the last element pushed becomes the first element in the array
// therefore, we push the before or after tax first and age last
jsonData = {};
jsonData[SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[2].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[1].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[0].innerText;
yourSuperContributionsTableData.push(jsonData);
}
}
return yourSuperContributionsTableData;
}
Where I went wrong with this originally was I stringified the array. As the entire javascript object is going to be stringified this was unnecessary.
Create javascript object and store in local storage
The first step is to extract the item from local storage to update it with the new data from the user. Notice we must parse the object because it was originally stringified.
Secondly set the user entered data on the javascript object. You will notice the call to the function above that retrieves the table data. That table data is set as a key value pair in the javascript object.
const scenarioName = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
const object = localStorage.getItem(scenarioName);
let scenarioObject = JSON.parse(object);
isValid = validateYourSuperannuationForm();
if (isValid) {
let superContributionsTableDataString = getSuperContributionsTableDataString(
document.getElementById("your-extra-super-contributions-table"));
scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE = $("#your-super-balance").val();
scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES = $("#super-investment-fees").val();
scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES = $("#super-admin-fees").val();
scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE = $("#life-insurance").val();
scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION = $("#your-annual-lump-sum-super-contribution").val();
scenarioObject.EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA = superContributionsTableDataString;
let objectString = JSON.stringify(scenarioObject);
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName, objectString);
}
Send item in local storage to server
I discovered trying to stringify the entire javascript object caused problems at the server. What I had to do was create a new object for the formData to be sent to the server, BUT I had to stringify only the table data, not the entire object. I had to retrieve each item from local storage and set it on the formData object to be passed to the server.
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
const activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
const item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
const scenarioObject = JSON.parse(item);
// We must do this because if superContributionsTableData == "" and we then stringify this it will
// end up with a value of """", which will cause an error.
const superContributionsTableData = scenarioObject.EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA;
let superContributionsTableDataString = "";
if (superContributionsTableData !== ""){
superContributionsTableDataString = JSON.stringify(superContributionsTableData);
}
const formData = {
SCENARIO_NAME: scenarioObject.SCENARIO_NAME,
DATE_OF_BIRTH: "",
IS_SINGLE: scenarioObject.IS_SINGLE,
IS_RETIRED: scenarioObject.IS_RETIRED,
RETIREMENT_DATE: scenarioObject.RETIREMENT_DATE,
IS_HOMEOWNER: scenarioObject.IS_HOMEOWNER,
FORTNIGHTLY_RENT: scenarioObject.FORTNIGHTLY_RENT,
DATE_RENT_CEASES: scenarioObject.DATE_RENT_CEASES,
IS_SINGLE_AND_SHARING: scenarioObject.IS_SINGLE_AND_SHARING,
SPOUSE_DATE_OF_BIRTH: scenarioObject.SPOUSE_DATE_OF_BIRTH,
IS_SPOUSE_RETIRED: scenarioObject.IS_SPOUSE_RETIRED,
SPOUSE_RETIREMENT_DATE: scenarioObject.SPOUSE_RETIREMENT_DATE,
SUPER_BALANCE: scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE,
SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES: scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES,
SUPER_ADMIN_FEES: scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES,
LIFE_INSURANCE: scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE,
ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION: scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION,
EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA: superContributionsTableDataString
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: formData,
success: function (data) {
// do stuff here
{
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
In the Java Servlet the data is then extracted from the HttpServletRequest passed to the doPost method. It is retrieved in the usual way by calling HttpServletRequest.getParameter. Converting the table data is a little more complex because it is an array that was converted to a string. I am including an extract of that code in case it is of use to someone.
ArrayList<LumpSumSuperContribution> superContributionsList = new ArrayList<>();
String superContributionsTableData = request.getParameter(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA);
// Array superContributionsArray = request.getParameter(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA);
JSONObject superContributionsMessage = new JSONObject();
boolean errorOccurred = false;
if (superContributionsTableData != null && superContributionsTableData.length() > 0) {
try {
JSONArray superContributionsArray = new JSONArray(superContributionsTableData);
int i = 0;
while (i < superContributionsArray.length()) {
JSONObject contributionObj = (JSONObject) superContributionsArray.get(i);
String ageString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.WholeNumberResult result6 = Validator.validateMandatoryWholeNumber(ageString, 18, 99,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution age for row " + (i + 1));
if (!result6.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result6.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
Integer age = result6.getNumber();
String contributionAmountString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.WholeNumberResult result7 = Validator.validateMandatoryWholeNumber(
contributionAmountString, 1, 9999999,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution amount for row " + (i + 1));
if (!result7.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result7.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
Integer amount = result7.getNumber();
String beforeAfterTaxString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.TextResult result8 = Validator.validateMandatoryText(beforeAfterTaxString,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution Before or After Tax for row " + (i + 1), 5, 6);
if (!result8.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result8.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
String beforeAfterTax = result8.getText();
LumpSumSuperContribution superContribution = new LumpSumSuperContribution(age, amount, false,
LumpSumSuperContribution.YOUR_CONTRIBUTION, beforeAfterTax);
superContributionsList.add(superContribution);
i++;
}
if (!errorOccurred) {
scenario.setAllYourSuperContributions(superContributionsList);
// superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, SUCCESS);

Summary
Create a javascript array. Then loop through the table data and create a javascript object for each row of the table and push onto the array.
Create or retrieve javascript object stored in local storage. If already in local storage, this object must be parsed using JSON.parse(object).
Set the details on the object entered by the user.
Stringify the javascript array and add the string to the object as a key value pair.
To send the data to the server retrieve the item from local storage and parse the item to extract details from it.
Set the extracted details on a newly created formData object.
Stringify the table data and set as a key value pair in formData.
Using ajax Post the data to the server.
I hope this helps someone in the future. It took me a while of trying different things to find a way to get this to work. If anyone has a better solution please post it.
I have a table in ServiceNow that contains Store and a corresponding Tier that is associated with the Store.
I am trying to auto-populate a record producer, once Store is selected. and my script is not running.
The table is a custom table created in a scoped application which is new to me so not sure what I am doing wrong in the scripting. Any advice?
//Catalog Client Script (runs on [Store] Record Producer Change)

Now, I have tried to get some data from crawling website.
The target website provides current status of bicycle stations using google map.
GDownloadUrl("/mapAction.do?process=statusMapView", function(data, responseCode) {
var jsonData = eval("(" + data + ")");
//alert(jsonData.centerLat);
var length = jsonData.markers.length;
//if (length > 100) length = 100;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(jsonData.markers[i].lat), parseFloat(jsonData.markers[i].lng));
var name = jsonData.markers[i].name;
var cntRackTotal = jsonData.markers[i].cntRackTotal;
var cntRentable = jsonData.markers[i].cntRentable;
var cntLockOff = jsonData.markers[i].cntLockOff;
var cntPrtRack = jsonData.markers[i].cntPrtRack;
var percent = jsonData.markers[i].percent;
var imgFile = jsonData.markers[i].imgFile;
var number = jsonData.markers[i].kiosk_no;
//map.addOverlay(createMarker(number, point, name, cntRackTotal, cntRentable, cntLockOff, cntPrtRack, percent, imgFile ));
}
});
This JS source code is used on target website. In GDownloadUrl callback function, the parameter "data" contains current status of bicycle stations. And I want to get data.
Now, I tried using python selenium and execute_script().
jsSourcecode = ("var strData;"+
"strData = GDownloadUrl('/mapAction.do?process=statusMapView',"+
" function(data, responseCode) {return data;}); return strData;")
data = driver.execute_script(jsSourcecode)
this source code is that I used to get data. I expected data on callback would be stored on var strData and the return value of execute_script() would be the data. but the return value is just "True".
I have little knowledge about js.. How can I get the data? Please help
The function you are calling is asynchronous and requires a callback function as argument.
Use execute_async_script and provide the callback present in the last argument:
data, status = driver.execute_async_script("""
var callback = arguments[0];
window.GDownloadUrl('/mapAction.do?process=statusMapView', function(data, status){
callback([data, status]);
});
""")
I'm using Google Apps Script to write values from a form to a Google Spreadsheet.
I have the form in my HTML page and its action calls the Google Apps Script to write in the sheet.
Now I'd like to go back to my site with a flag var and show a message (Error or Complete) based on the result of the function.
I know how to create and set the flag variable but I don't know how to "send" it to my page. I was only able to show my flag with something like this (that's the whole function I have in GAS)
function doPost(e){
var id = "";
var name = e.parameter['name'];
var surname = e.parameter['surname'];
var serial = e.parameter['serial'];
var eMail = e.parameter['email'];
var text = e.parameter['text'];
var date = new Date();
var ans = ""
var ctrl= "WIP";
var vals = [id, date, name, surname, serial, eMail, text, ans, flag];
var sheetObj =SpreadsheetApp.openById("myKey").getSheetByName('Requests').appendRow(vals);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(someOutput);
}
Someone knows how to do what I need?
Thanks a lot for your help!
S.
You can do something like this
return ContentService.createTextOutput("Complete").setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
Or in case of exception return 'Error' from your catch block like this
return ContentService.createTextOutput("Error").setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
I need to modify / add an attribute to a Parse object before returning it, but not save it to the database.
Here's my scenario:
I do a query for a single record and when successful, I need to add a field to that object:
...
query.first({
success: function(result) {
// get current and expiration date and calculate expiration
var now = new Date();
var expiresInHours = moment(results.get("expiresAt")).diff(now, 'hours');
// set attribute
result.add("expiration", expiresInHours);
// respond to client
response.success(result);
The problem is that I always get an error, because I modified an object and didn't save it.
I would really like to return just the object instead of having to create a new object like
var answer = {"data": result, "expiration": expiresInHours};
which would work, but then I would need to change a lot of code on the client side....
Any help? Thx,
Martin.
On using the "set" method for the object, it will try to save the object where that particular column will not be there so try converting the result to a JSON and try inserting attr to the objects.
var resultsJson = [];
for (var i = 0; i<results.length; i++) {
var resultJson = (results[i].toJSON());
if (relations[results[i].get("user").id] != null) {
resultJson["relationship"] = someValue;
}
resultsJson.push(resultJson);
}
response.success(resultsJson);`
