GlidGuid in scoped application

[Arun Chauhan]

I am trying to generate a unique Cart Id in a application scoped Script on Fuji Instance.

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);

But I am getting following error:

Evaluator: java.lang.SecurityException: GlideGuid is not allowed in scoped applications
   Caused by error in script at line 1
==> 1: var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);

The above line of code works well in global scoped script and I am able to generate a cart id.

How Can I access GlidGuid in application scoped sctipt?

Hi Arun,

You want to use gs.generateGUID():

gs.info(gs.generateGUID());

//output: x_snc_app: 87d2891f4fa0120087cdf9718110c7fb

Another alternative is to just create a new GlideRecord and get it's sys_id:

var myguid, anygr = new GlideRecord('incident');
anygr.initialize()

myguid = anygr.getUniqueValue();

Just don't save that GlideRecord.
