How to write client script and server script in a single declarative action.

[pranay_14]

I am on the record page within the workspace and have added a button. When the button is clicked, I want to capture the current page URL.

Specifically, I need to extract the sysID parameter from the URL:

URL Format:
<Instance Id>/now/mfg/isa-equipment-model/params/sys-id/<sysID>/selected-tab-index/4/sub/record/<table-name>/<record-sysId>

The logic for this will be in client script. I need to use this sysId parameter in the server script for my usecase.

so what did you start with and where are you stuck?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@Ankur Bawiskar I have retrieved the sys_id using a client script using a declarative action.

var currentUrl = top.location.href;
g_form.addInfoMessage("currentUrl: " + currentUrl);

var entitySysId = currentUrl.split('/')[8];
g_form.addInfoMessage("entitySysId: " + entitySysId);

Now, I need to use this entitySysId in a server script within a declarative action to query a table.

How can I use both a client script and a server script within a single declarative action?

@pranay_14 

where are you showing that UI action?

I am not sure if both client + Server can be combined

Is that normal UI action?

Currently I have implemented a client script using a declarative action, same would work in UI action as well.

But I am not sure how to utilise the fetched syId in a server script.
