How to get system properties client side?

peterraeves · ‎08-09-2017

What's the client side equivalent of 'gs.getProperty'?

I prefer to use a Display Business Rule and put the property in to a g_scratchpad variable. You can then use it in an onLoad script.

BR:

g_scratchpad.my_property = gs.getProperty('my.property');

CS:

var myProperty = g_scratchpad.my_property

I believe we covered this in episode 5 of TechNow.

I don't think there is one, i think you'll have to create the property in a script include and then call it from the client side using a GlideAjax.

Hi Peter,

Create a script include and call it by using glideajax in client script.

Nothing in the client side that can do this as far as I know. But,

If it is a table, display business rule + g_scratchpad to store the system property to be used in client side scripts.
If it is a catalog, then a plain glideajax to read it.
