Fetching current date and time from onclick UI Macro

mstockel · ‎07-16-2018

Hi SN community,

I have a UI macro that is invoked when a particular button is pressed. When this happens, I send some data to a webserver, and one of these data poubts is the current time and date according to the servicenow instance, I have tried to do it the following way:

data["==unixtime_ms=="] = "${new GlideDateTime().getNumericValue()}";

however, it seems the expression is only evaluated when I update the UI macro, and not OnClick as I want. How do I crate a new GlideDateTime object on each onclick event in a UI macro? Help much appreciated!

Hi

it seems you have done something wrong while creating script include.

Create a new one with client callable tick and do this.

and check if this script include is for all application scopes i.e Global.

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

type: 'getdate'
});

This type of Script include is created when client callable is true.

Mark Correct if it helps.

Warm Regards,

Hi both, I got it working. Either my initialize function messed it up or something was wrong with how the script was set up. Thanks
