How to extract the id from URL

ursnani · ‎11-12-2018

Hi All,

I am using a Business Rule to Extract the URL parameters and I was able to get the output, but now problem is i have to extract the id from the URL.

I have used "gs.action.getGlideURI().getMap().get('sysparm_query')" to get the parameters of sysparm_query.

in that Query i have like u_field1=12345678909876543212345678^u_field2=nul.

now my requieremnt is to extract the id of Field1.

Can someone please help with this.

Thanks.

Another way of doing this and making it a reusable script with access to any parameters retrieved is as the following:

function parseSysparmQuery(parameters){
	var params = parameters + "";
	return params.split("^").reduce(function(acc,curr){
		var arr = curr.split("=");
		acc[arr[0]] = arr[1];
		return acc;
	},{})
}

Use it as follows:

var sysparmQuery = gs.action.getGlideURI().getMap().get('sysparm_query');
var getParam = parseSysparmQuery(sysparmQuery);

gs.info("u_field1: " + getParam.u_field1);
gs.info("u_field2: " + getParam.u_field2);

It could be included in a Script Include allowing it to be used in many business rules.

HI Chris,

When I checked the logs the ob value pair is pritning two time and it is taking the last obj value pair.

like I am getting u_field1,123456789012345678 and u_field2, null and it is printing only the last statement which is u_field2 , null but not u_field1 1234567890123456

Can you please help a little bit i think I am getting closer

Can you post what you have thus far?

ChrisBurks · ‎11-12-2018

I should add: also post output values if possible. Or at least dummy representations

Fow what I did is like as the fields are static I have given a condition

if(obj.field == 'u_field1'){

current.u_field1= obj.value;

}

this has done the trick for me but i know this is not how it should be done.

But anyways any improvements for the Code please let me know.
