Not getting the answer from Script Include in onSubmit Catalog Client Script by using GlideAjax

[Ankit Balapure]

Hi, 

Can anyone tell me that where am I going wrong. I am getting the null answer. Please refer the below scripts and screenshots.

Script Include: 

var UserAuthorizationToFormSubmission = Class.create();
UserAuthorizationToFormSubmission.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    checkAuthorization : function(){

		var userId = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_id');

		
		return "userId";

	},


    type: 'UserAuthorizationToFormSubmission'
});

Client Script:

function onSubmit() {
    var current_user = g_user.userID;

    var auth_stat = new GlideAjax('UserAuthorizationToFormSubmission');
    auth_stat.addParam('sysparm_user_id', current_user);
    auth_stat.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkAuthorization');
    auth_stat.getXMLWait();
    alert(auth_stat.getAnswer());

}

Output: 

Please suggest why this is happening if I am trying to get the value from the script include which is client callable and called from the above mentioned client script by using the 'getXMLWait()' method.

Thanks,

Ankit

What do you mean by

Now, I want this Catalog Item to be Submitted by :

1. The Manager of the user auto populated in the form.

2. Two static users defined in a system property.

You want the requested by field to be set as Manager of the user?

@Ankit Balapure 

you can then use this logic and no script include Ajax required

1) create a string variable in your catalog item and auto populate those 2 static user sysIds as default value in it, then give order for this variable as highest and HIDE it using Catalog UI Policy

give those 2 users sysids in property separated by comma -> sysId1,sysId2

javascript: gs.getProperty('propertyName'); // give this in default value

2) use onSubmit and validate like this based on this hidden variable and manager variable

function onSubmit() {
    var loggedInUser = g_user.userID;

    var managerValue = g_form.getValue('managerVariableName'); // give the variable name here
    var staticUsers = g_form.getValue('hiddenVariableName'); // give the variable name here
    if (managerValue == loggedInUser || staticUsers.indexOf(loggedInUser) > -1) {
        // allowed tosubmit
    } else {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('You should be manager or static user to submit');
        return false;
    }
}

Hi,

Write the same logic in the onChange of Name variable

1. Whenever the value changes for the Name variable, it will trigger the onChange  of the Name variable client script.

2. Script Include is called in the onChange, it will check if the user is in the system property and in the same script include check for the user's manager and populate it in the Manager's variable.

3. If the user is not in the system property, then show a alert like "Not a valid User" and clear the name variable and as name variables is not mandatory, clear any mandatory variable as it will not allow the user to submit the form if a mandatory variable is not filled.

If the name variable is mandatory, clear only the name variable as that itself will not allow the user to submit the form.

4. If you are using any mandatory variable other than Name, you have to write the same logic in the onChange of that mandatory Variable.
