Calling Script Include in UI Macro and display return value

reginabautista · ‎05-03-2017

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();

$[jvar_your_var]

</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>

$[jvar_your_var]

</tr>

Try this one,

<tr>

<td>On Call Manager</td>

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

var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

your_var

</g2:evaluate>

</tr>

Problem is that your tags are inside your <g2> tag.

Do this:

<tr>

<td>On Call Manager</td>

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

var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

</g2:evaluate>

$[jvar_your_var]

</tr>

Thanks Matthew and balaji, it's giving me this error using both script:

*Undefined(var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();)

Can you please try this code,

<tr>

<td>On Call Manager</td>

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

var your_var= BFPagerDuty_RetrieveOnCallRotaMgr.retrieveOnCallRotaMgr();

your_var

</g2:evaluate>

</tr>
