Can I use one GlideAjax to call several functions from one Script Include

[gunishi]

Hi all,

I have a script include that contains 3 different functions. I need to use all of them in a catalog client script and am unsure how to call all 3 functions using GlideAjax and also how to get the answer from the response, for each function. 

Any help with this would be much appreciated. 

Thank you, 

G

Hi @gunishi 

Are you using this on onSubmit client script? Then modify the client script to the one like below.

function onLoad() {
   var ga = new GlideAjax('TestMultiFunctions');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getAll');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param1','some_data');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param2','some_data');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param3','some_data');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param4','some_data');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param5','some_data');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_param6','some_data');
   ga.getXMLWait();
   var response = ga.getAnswer();
   var data = JSON.parse(response);
   alert(data.functionA);
   alert(data.functionB);
   alert(data.functionC);
}

if the above didn't work check the contents of response variable using alert(response); and access the data accordingly.

Hi @AnveshKumar M 

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate it. 

When I am checking the contents of response it is 'null', is there anyway for me to troubleshoot this simply?

No worries if not and I will press on and keep playing with the code until it works.

Kind regards,

Hi @AnveshKumar M 

I managed to solve the issue. 

The problem was that after var data has been declared, when qualifying the values the user needs to call it from the same script include:

data.functionA = this.getfunctionA;

Thank you for all your help, it gave me a great starting point!

@gunishi Ohh my Bad! I missed that this part. Some times we miss the basic things, especially when writing in hurry. 😀

var TestMultiFunctions = Class.create();
TestMultiFunctions.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

	getAll: function(){
		var param1 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param1");
		var param2 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param2");
		var param3 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param3");
		var param4 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param4");
		var param5 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param5");
		var param6 = this.getParameter("sysparm_param6");

		var data = {
			functionA: "",
			functionB: "",
			functionC: "",
		};
		data.functionA = this.getFunctionA(param1, param2);
		data.functionB = this.getFunctionA(param3, param4);
		data.functionC = this.getFunctionA(param3, param6);

		return JSON.stringify(data);
	},

	getFunctionA: function(param1, param2){
		return "Some data from A";
	},

	getFunctionB: function(param3, param4){
		return "Some data from B";
	},

	getFunctionC: function(param5, param6){
		return "Some data from C";
	},

    type: 'TestMultiFunctions'
});

Hi @AnveshKumar M 

Don't worry at all! It was a good exercise for me for learning purposes, and your code gave me a brilliant starting point.
