Flow Context UI Action from custom table

Community Alums · ‎04-20-2021

I have custom tables that also have Flows that attach themselves.

I'm trying to replicate the "Flow Context" UI action on a custom table so that I can see these active flows, however the default solution thats used for RITMs obviously does not work.

How can this be modified to work correctly?

function showFlowContext () {
	var url = new GlideURL('catalog_flow_context.do');
	url.addParam('sysparm_sys_id', g_form.getUniqueValue());
	url.addParam('sysparm_ck', g_form.getValue("sysparm_ck"));
	g_navigation.open(url.getURL(), "_blank");
}

Currently it obviously does not redirect me to the correct place, the custom table does not have a sysparm_ck value.

I managed to resolve this myself with an Ajax call.

function showFlowContext() {
    var id = g_form.getUniqueValue();
    var ga = new GlideAjax('AjaxUtils');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getFlowContext');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_id', id);
    ga.getXMLAnswer(getValue);

    function getValue(response) {
        var answer = JSON.parse(response);
        if (answer["success"] == "true") {
	    g_navigation.open('/$flow-designer.do#/operations/context/' + answer.id, "_blank");
        }
    }

}

var AjaxUtils = Class.create();
AjaxUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	getFlowContext: function(){
		var id = this.getParameter('sysparm_id');
		var ctx = new GlideRecord("sys_flow_context");
		ctx.addEncodedQuery("source_table=table_name_here^source_record="+id);
		ctx.query();
		if(ctx.next()){
			var results = {
				"success":"true",
				"id":ctx.getUniqueValue()
			};
			return JSON.stringify(results);
		}
		gs.addErrorMessage("Flow Context does not exist for this record.");
		var results = {
			"success":"false"
		};
		return JSON.stringify(results);
	},
	
    type: 'AjaxUtils'
});

If you have multiple flows associated to a single record, how would you modify the UI Action and Script Include to show all of them in one window?

Hello, this is a very late reply but this is how you would do that:

It worked, thank you

This is the one that finally worked for me:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_flow_context');
gr.addQuery('source_record', current.sys_id);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
    var url = '$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/operations/context/' + gr.sys_id.toString();
    action.setRedirectURL(url);
} else {
    gs.addErrorMessage("Record not found");
    action.setRedirectURL(_blank);
    gs.info(gr.sys_id);
}
