Get parent of parent in script include

[kchorny]

I have a script include that I'm using as a condition for a UI Action.   The requirement is that the user's domain must be a child of the Bronze domain, or the child of a child of the Bronze domain in order to see the button.

Here's the script include that I'm calling with the condition new domainConditionUtil().verifyCBPUser(gs.getUserID())

The logs show:

returning: 23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d

dParent: 23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d

dPParent: undefined

Where am I going wrong?

var domainConditionUtil = Class.create();
domainConditionUtil.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
verifyCBPUser: function(userID) {
//check to see if the parent domain of the user is the Bronze domain, or if the parent of the custom process domain is the Bronze domain
var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
u.get('sys_id',userID);
var uDomain = u.sys_domain;
var dParent = getParentDomain(uDomain);
//dParent = dParent.toString();   //adding this line didn't fix
gs.log('dParent: ' + dParent);
var dPParent = getParentDomain(dParent);
gs.log('dPParent: ' + dPParent);
if (dParent == '21af3de90f7b32000fe1f3f692050e78' || dPParent == '21af3de90f7b32000fe1f3f692050e78')
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
function getParentDomain(dID)
{
var thisDomain = new GlideRecord('domain');
thisDomain.addQuery('sys_id',dID);
thisDomain.query();
if (thisDomain.next())
{
gs.log('returning: ' + thisDomain.parent);
return thisDomain.parent;
}
}
},
       type: 'domainConditionUtil'
});

If you are feeling confident, I would suggest a recursive function. I normally use it in situations like that.

Nope, not feeling confident at all.   Can you tell me how you would do this?

Hi Karla,

There can be two reasons :

1. parent of 23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d doesnt
2. the domain is inactive

Here,maybe first you should convert it to toString()   and then query with the sys_id

Simpler,avoid second gliderecord use

1. var dParent = u.sys_domain.parent.toString();  
2. var dPParent = u.sys_domain.parent.parent.toString();

if(dParent == '23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d '   || dPParent == '23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d '){}

The domain exists and is active, so to test it I ran a background script:

var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

u.get('sys_id','963d2f6d37d50300ac208ff1b3990e68'); //this is the sys_id of the user that I'm testing as

var dParent = u.sys_domain.parent;

gs.print('dParent: ' + dParent);

var dPParent = u.sys_domain.parent.parent;

gs.print('dPParent: ' + dPParent);

The result of this is:

*** Script: dParent: 23e22c9c0fe9830023b222d8b1050e5d

*** Script: dPParent: 21af3de90f7b32000fe1f3f692050e78

which are the correct values.

So I modified the script include to this.   The log is showing dParent as the correct sys_id, but dPParent as blank.

Why would it work in a background script but not in a script include?

verifyCBPUser: function(userID) {

//check to see if the parent domain of the user is the Bronze domain, or if the parent of the custom process domain is the Bronze domain

var u = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

u.get('sys_id',userID);

var dParent = u.sys_domain.parent;

gs.log('dParent: ' + dParent);

var dPParent = u.sys_domain.parent.parent;

gs.log('dPParent: ' + dPParent);

if (dParent == '21af3de90f7b32000fe1f3f692050e78' || dPParent == '21af3de90f7b32000fe1f3f692050e78')

{

return true;

}

else

{

return false;

}

},
