How to fetch current workflow sys id when creating custom activities?

[swethachunduri]

Hello,

I am creating a custom activity and would like to fetch the current workflow id in which the user uses the activity from within the activity pack. I tried the following in a run script custom activity under ServiceNow orchestration:

var gr = new GlideRecord('wf_context');

gr.addQuery('id',current.sys_id);

gr.query();

this is throwing me   "current not defined" error.

Any idea how I   can fetch current workflow sys id when creating custom activities?

thank you

Hi Shwetha,

Check section 3.15.3 from the below link if it helps.

Workflow Script - ServiceNow Wiki

Else check below code from thread...Re: Workflow creation

var s = new GlideRecord('wf_workflow');

s.addQuery('name', '<workflow_name>');

s.query();

if (s.next()) {

  var workflowId = '' + s.sys_id;

}

I would like to fetch the sys id without entering the workflow name details as im trying to generate a generic script that reads the current sys_id details and perform certain actions specific to that id
