Dynamic URL according to environment

[nupur_goswami]

Hi

I have a requirement where I need to build a dynamic URL, need to use already present ('glide.servlet.uri')- system property to build the URL then append catalog item sysid, so that it will open the form according to the environment. Any suggestions how this could be implemented ?

Hi @nupur_goswami 

But what is use case here? 

[nupur_goswami]

@Dr Atul G- LNG I have a catalog item in prod already created, I need to create a button from UI action that will redirect to that catalog item but based on the environment I am in for ex: If I am logged into dev instance it should take me to dev, if I am in test-it should take me to test and so on.

if the UI action is server side then do this

var baseUrl = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri');

// Get the catalog item sys_id (replace 'your_catalog_item_sys_id' with the actual sys_id)
var catalogItemSysId = 'your_catalog_item_sys_id';

// Build the dynamic URL for native
var dynamicUrl = baseUrl + 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId;

// Build it for portal
var urlPortal = baseUrl + 'esc?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId;

action.setRedirectURL(urlPortal);

if it's client side then you can simply use relative URL using /

Something like this

var catalogItemSysId = 'your_catalog_item_sys_id';

// Build the dynamic URL for native
var dynamicUrl = '/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId;

// Build it for portal
var urlPortal = '/esc?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId;

g_navigation.open(urlPortal);

Please share your complete UI action script and screenshots

in notification?

if yes then simply use the relative URL in notification

if you are planning to use email script then it should be like this, please enhance it further

var baseUrl = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri');

// Get the catalog item sys_id (replace 'your_catalog_item_sys_id' with the actual sys_id)
var catalogItemSysId = 'your_catalog_item_sys_id';

// Build the dynamic URL for native
var dynamicUrl = baseUrl + 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId;

// Build it for portal
var urlPortal = baseUrl + 'esc?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=' + catalogItemSysId
