sys_id

[Lidi2115]

Hi,

How to identify a component through sys id servicenow?

I have a sys_id and I would like to know if I can identify which component it belongs to, if it is a record producer, or order guide, or some other.

This one: 
sys_id=c60c8a131be8391065e476295b4bcb38

Hi @Lidi2115 ,

You can use the SN Utils to fetch the record through sys_id.
You can add the extension to your browser 

use /<your_sys_id>

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Hemant

function findSysID(sysId) {

        if (rtrn) {
            gs.print("###" + rtrn + "###")
            return

        var forbiddenPrefixes = ['ts_', 'sysx_', 'v_', 'sys_rollback_', 'pa_'];

            // Order is important: setWorkflow must be before setLimit.
            s.setWorkflow(false);

var sysID = '...'; //put the sys_id to find
