I see the below 2 threads have not got solutions yet.

How to use/replace GlideSysAttachment for scoped app?

Any workaround for GlideSysAttachment() in scoped application?

Thanks,

Hi All,

Removing getBytes() from scoped apps was a decision that ServiceNow made because getBytes() can cause an
out-of-memory exception that can bring down an instance, and a scoped app must never be given access to any call that can cause the failure of an instance.

Alternative code for getBytes() and base64Encode will be getContent and getContentBase64 starting from the Fuji Patch 9 version.

var grSysAtt = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

grSysAtt.addQuery('table_sys_id', this.incident.sys_id);

grSysAtt.query();

while (grSysAtt.next())

{

var sa = new GlideSysAttachment();

sa.getContent(grSysAtt);
sa.getContentBase64(grSysAtt);

}

Thanks,

Priya

Hi,

Actually what is your problem? Ping me the code which is throwing an error.

Dis you tried like global.GlideSysAttachment()

I get the below error for the 1st line of code,

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: Method "GlideSysAttachment" called on incompatible object.

var sa = GlideSysAttachment();

var binData = sa.getBytes(grSysAtt);

var encData = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(binData);

Thanks,

Priya

It should be var sa = new GlideSysAttachment(); right?

new is required? I remember it without the 'new' keyword
