Web Service Methods

This context variable is available in the SetReturnData and synchronization scripts. This object contains information about the reason why the script is executed.

Parameters

Locale	Contains the locale identifier such as 'en-US'. If the script is invoked as a result of user action then it contains the locale associated with the user session.
TenantId	Tenant identifier.
BusinessObject	Information about the business object that the script is associated with.
UIBusinessObject	If the script is associated with a validation list business object, then when the pick list for that validation list business object is used in the workspace, it contains the business object associated with the workspace. For example, if the pick list is referenced in the Incident workspace, it contains information about the Incident business object.
PickList	If the script is invoked to fetch values for a pick list, this contains the details of the pick list. If the pick list is a validation provider pick list and used in the Service Catalog, then the arguments below contain validation parameters name and their values.
Arguments	When the script is invoked to fetch the latest data from external sources, it has the following information: List : Contains an object that holds the following information: •FieldFilter: If any filter is defined in the list workspace by the user. •DefinitionName: Name of the list that caused the invocation of this script. •SearchInfo: If the list uses a saved search to populate the data, this contains the search criteria that is defined in that construct. •DependentInfo: If the list is part of a dependent child tab, this contains information about the relationship between the parent business object and other information. Examples are MasterObjectTableRef, MasterObjectId, RelationshipTag, and DependentRel2Name. When the script is invoked from another script using ExecuteScript(), it contains the value passed to the Arguments parameter of this function. When the script is invoked to populate a validation provider pick list in the Service Catalog, this contains the validation parameters information.

Create

Method

Create

Description

Creates a new record in Service Manager.

Definition

DbObject Create(string tableRef)

Parameters

tableRef

The table reference of the table where the record is created.

Example

You can create a new incident with the following script:

var newIncident = Create('Incident#');

Get

Method

Get

Description

Gets the object for an existing record using its record ID from the specified table reference.

Definition

Get(string tableRef, string recId)

Get(string tableRef, string fieldName, object value)

Parameters

tableRef	The table reference of the table where the record will be created.
recId	The RecID of the record whose data is needed.
fieldName	The name of the field in the current business object.
value	The value of the field specified by the fieldName parameter.

Example

Use the following script to call the built-in function called CurrentUserRecIdto read data, such as the last name of the current user:

var employee = Get('Employee#', '$(CurrentUserRecId())')

var lastName = employee.Fields['LastName'];

The following example retrieves the incident with the incident number of 100001:

Get("Incident#", "IncidentNumber", 100001)

Update

Method

Update

Description

Updates a record.

Definition

Update(object data)

Parameters

data	A JSON-like object ({<key1>: '<value>', <key2>: '<value2>', ...}) that contains the key-value pairs to be updated in the record object (DbObject) on which this method is invoked.

Example

You can use this method to edit or update a record. For example, to edit two fields, use the following script, which gets the number and RecID of the current incident and then updates the two fields called Impact and Symptom:

var incident = Get('Incident#', '$(RecId)');

incident.Update({

Impact: 'Medium',

Symptom: 'Problem'

});

Another use case is to automatically create a new incident with fields auto-filled whenever a domain account is locked. For example, the following script creates a new incident and then updates that incident with new field values stating the symptom clearly as domain account locked.

var newIncident = Create('Incident#');

newIncident.Update({

Category: 'Account Lockout',

Impact: 'Medium',

ProfileLink_RecID: '$(CurrentUserRecId())',

Service: 'Desktop Service',

Status: 'Active',

Subject: 'Cannot login to Windows',

Symptom: 'Customer failed to login to windows for more'+ 'than 3 times and domain account is locked',

Urgency: 'Medium'

});

UpdateField

Method

UpdateField

Description

Updates a field of a record.

Definition

UpdateField(string fieldname, string fieldValue)

Parameters

fieldName	The name of the field to update.
fieldValue	The value of the field.

Example

Use the following script to edit the Subject field:

incident.UpdateField('Subject', 'Please open a new record');

Search

Use the Search method with the Where method. See also Where.

Method

Description

Gets a collection without any search conditions. You can also use the Where method to find data.

Definition

Search(string tableRef)

Search(string tableRef, string savedSearch)

Search(string tableRef, string savedSearch, object searchPromptData)

Search(string tableRef, object simpleSearch)

Returns

Returns an object that provides two sets of functionalities.

•The first set of functionalities creates, joins, and customizes search behaviors.

• Use the RelatedItems property to access or join the current business object with its related items. Use the relationship name through RelatedItems to build join conditions.

• Use Where(object simpleSearch) to add conditions to the related business objects.

• Use Distinct() to add distinct behavior to the search function.

• Use Top(nRecords) to restrict the number of records that needs to be retrieved.

• The second set of functionalities enumerates the result of the search operation.

•TableRef: The business object name of the search result.

•First: Returns the first business object or 'null' if the result is empty. The returned business object has a property called Fields that is an object of fields and their values.

•Current: Returns the current business object when MoveNext() returns true. The returned business object has a property called Fields that is an object of fields and their values.

•MoveNext(): Moves the cursor to the next business object if present and returns true. Otherwise, it returns false indicating that there are no more business objects to access.

•Reset(): Resets the cursor to the beginning of the result list.

•Close(): Closes the result set and frees up any resources used by the search.

You must fully define the search criteria and behaviors before starting to process the results. Once you start processing the results, you must process the entire result set. Otherwise, further database operations can cause errors and throw exceptions. You can completely process the result set by either enumerating all business objects using the MoveNext() function it until it returns false, or by calling the Close() function.•

Parameters

tableRef	The table reference of the table from which the results are retrieved.
savedSearch	The name of the saved search.
searchPromptData	The data collected by using the Prompt function.
simpleSearch	Additional search filter.

Example

Use the following script to get a collection without any search conditions:

Search('IncidentStatus#');

The following is another example of a script to get a collection:

Search('Incident#', {

Status: 'Active',

ProfileLink_RecID: '$(CurrentUserRecId())'

});

Use any of the following scripts to get the incident with the number 10424:

• var incident = Get('Incident#', '8D9EDC222216490B895FF8C3D3B5D4EE');

• var incident = Get('Incident#', 'IncidentNumber', 10424);

• var incident = Search('Incident#', { IncidentNumber : 10424 }).First();

This is another example:

var incident = null;

var result = Search('Incident#', { Status: 'Active' });

while (result.MoveNext()) {

var obj = result.Current;

if (obj.Fields["IncidentNumber"] == 100) {

incident = obj;

break;

}

result.Close();

Use the following script to search for records based on relationships. In this example, the script retrieves the tasks for the specified incident:

var tasks = Get('Incident#', '$(RecId)')

.RelatedItems['Task#Assignment.Rev3'];

var votes = Search('Change#', {Status: 'Scheduled'})

.RelatedItems['FRS_Approval#.']

.RelatedItems['FRS_ApprovalVoteTracking#.'];

Where

Use the Where method with the Search method. See also Search.

Method

Where

Description

Filters a collection of objects that satisfy a condition.

Definition

DbObjectCollection Where(string condition)

Parameters

condition

The conditional expression to base the output on.

Example

Use the following script to select records where the status of tasks is "rejected":

var rejectingItems = Search('Task#Assignment')

.Where({Status: 'Rejected'})

Use the following script to search for records using a set of validated fields. In this example, the script retrieves team members who have tasks with a rejected status:

var rejectingTeams = Search('Task#Assignment')

.Where({Status: 'Rejected'}) // select records where status of the tasks = rejected

.RelatedItems['Owner => Employee#']

.RelatedItems['Team => StandardUserTeam#']

.Distinct() // selects unique records without duplicates

.Top(20); // selects the top 20 records
