How to get system properties client side?

peterraeves · ‎08-09-2017

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

Chuck Tomasi · ‎08-09-2017

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.

Hi Chuck,

We have got a similar requirement to retrieve a sys_property is UI page client script but the asynchronous GlideAjax returns the value after the page is being rendered which is not expected.Tried calling g_scratchpad but haven't had any luck though.

Any suggestions are truly appreciated.

Regards,

Zabeeulla.

For standard form behaviors, this, or setting a session variable is how I'd normally accomplish it. However, if I want to use this behavior in the catalog for a specific catalog item, how would I do this?

Thanks,

What if my clint script isa Catalog Client Script? I think I can not use Business rules for that.

P.D. I'm a big fan of your work and the best practices that you show us
