Set a server side parameter

[abhay10690951]

Hi ,

I just want to add a parameter server-side through business rule and i want to use getparameter to retrieve that value.

i can pass the value as an argument to the function of script include but i want to do this way without touching the pre defined servicenow script include.

script include has this.getParameter('abc');

i want to set this via 'abc' by business rule.

can i do that ?

Hi Abhay,

If you are looking at a script include that references this.getParameter() it indicates it is client callable and (more than likely) intended to be used with a Client Script in a GlideAjax operation. I don't believe you can call the login in that script include from a business rule. What's more, passing the parameters isn't part of how they work.

I recommend you use the logic you need from the script include in your own script include and call that from your business rule.

you really don't need to do that.. just use a view BR to set a scratchpad variable..

g_scratchpad.variable_name = value;

then in client scripts you can reference g_scratchpad.variable_name anytime you want..

only use these when needed as they do run every time a record on the table is viewed.
