Calling Script Include in UI Macro and display return value

[reginabautista]

Hi guys,

I am doing some integration with PagerDuty and getting the On Call Rota using API. I would like to display the retrieved value on the form via a UI Macro.

Looking at   the logs, I know the script include is being called and value being returned, however I am unable to display it on the form. This is what I have so far. Could you please let me know what am I missing? I haven't done any jelly scripting before so I find it challenging.

<tr>

    <td>On Call Manager</td>

    <g2:evaluate var="jvar_your_var" jelly="true">

  var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

    <p>$[jvar_your_var]</p>

</g2:evaluate>

  </tr>

What is the API you are calling? What is the name of the Script Include and method? From your script I don't see where you instantiate an object of the Script Include class. If I knew the API you are talking about I would know exactly what script you need but I would expect something like this should do the trick:

<tr>

    <td>On Call Manager</td>

    <g2:evaluate var="jvar_your_var" jelly="true">

var BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr = new BFPagerDuty();

BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

</g2:evaluate>

    <p>$[jvar_your_var]</p>

  </tr>

Thanks Balaji, it's coming back as blank on the form.

here's what I get in the log, so i know for sure there is a returned value..

Try this way then,

<tr>

    <td>On Call Manager</td>

    <g2:evaluate var="jvar_your_var" jelly="true">

  var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

                your_var

</g2:evaluate>

    <p>$[jvar_your_var]</p>

  </tr>

or

<tr>

    <td>On Call Manager</td>

    <g2:evaluate var="jvar_your_var" jelly="true">

  var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

                your_var

</g2:evaluate>

<script>

          $[jvar_your_var];

</script>

  </tr>

Hi Matthew that did the trick. I have to instantiate the script include first before calling the function. Thanks for your help!
