How can my script determine the version of ServiceNow that is running?

[esbensen]

As the title says ... we use the Table API extensively and need a way to programmatically determine the ServiceNow version (we are running both Eureka and Fuji in different environments).   Any ideas?

There is an InstanceInfo.do?WSDL that you can query to get your version.   You can look at it in your Scripted Web Services module.

This sounds like the way to go but for some reason, I can't get a response from that SOAP endpoint.   I haven't used these scripted web services before so I'm probably missing something.

>>> from suds.client import Client
>>> url = 'REDACTED'
>>> client = Client(url)
>>> print str(client.service.execute())
None

I just do it through soapUI:

There is probably a better way, but this comes to mind.

If your instance has been upgraded at least once, you could query the upgrade history table as follows:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_upgrade_history');

gr.addEncodedQuery('from_version!=n/a');

gr.setLimit('1');

gr.orderByDesc('upgrade_finished');

gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {

         gs.print(gr.to_version);

}

Alternatively, you could parse the stats.do page for the build details.
