gs.getUser().getDomainID() not working in scoped application scripts

aditya_snow1 · ‎07-20-2017

Hi Guys,

I am trying to retrieve the current session's Domain using a server side scoped application script. Using the 'gs.getUser().getDomainID() ' function gives the following error-

'Cannot find function getDomainID in object com.glide.script.fencing.ScopedUser'

Is there any other way to retrieve the current domain using a scoped application script without explicitly calling a globally scoped script?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

The session/user getDomainID() methods are not exposed to scope currently. As a workaround, I'd suggest creating a Script Include with a method you can call that will create a domain-separated record and just read the domain off of it. Like this:

var DomainInfo = Class.create();

DomainInfo.prototype = {

       initialize: function() {

       },


       getCurrentDomain : function() {

               var throwAwayRecord = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

               throwAwayRecord.newRecord();


               return throwAwayRecord.getValue("sys_domain");


       },



       type: 'DomainInfo'

};

Then when you want to get the domain, you call your Script Include:

var currentDomain = new DomainInfo().getCurrentDomain();

This assumes that the sys_user table is domain-separated. I'd suggest using a domain-separated table which doesn't have Number Maintenance or other auto-incrementing stuff, since we are deliberately initializing a full record, but never saving it.

Thanks,

Hi Aditya,

Please try global.gs.getUser().getDomainID()

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

I have already tried global.gs.getUser().getDomainID(), this doesnt work as well.

I have also tried GlideDomainSupport.getCurrentDomainValueOrGlobal(), gs.getSession().getCurrentDomainID().

All of these work perfectly in globally scoped scripts, but none of them work in scoped application scripts, even with global qualifiers.

Don't know if its a bug, or service-now has restricted the access to these functions in scoped scripts.

Hi Aditya,

I searched for 40 minutes now, can't find a thing about this. I'll let you know when an idea pops up.
