Using document.URL within a Business Rule

[josephtucker]

I'm fairly new to servicenow scripts, however I'm looking into extracting the current URL via a business rule.

I've noticed var instanceURL = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") will return the instance URL, however it does not return the current URL that I'm seeing.

I've tried utilizing document.URL; but noticed that does not work (returns with an error).

Would there be another method for extracting the current URL within a Business Rule script?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Joseph,

This will give you the instance URL -> gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri")

And this will give you the rest -> gs.action.getGlideURI()

Hi Anurag,

Thanks for the help.

Looking farther into this, it appears the URL that I'm attempting to grab is a reverse URL (reverse proxy).

So for example instead of seeing :

http://foo.service-now.com for the URL

I'm seeing

http://foo.bar.com for the URL

it seems that gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") returns the first URL rather than the latter.

Yes Joseph,

gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") returns the first URL and gs.action.getGlideURI() will return the latter.

It seems that the return of gs.action.getGlideURI() returns something along the lines of:

view_content.do?sysparm_stack ... etc

rather than:

http://foo.bar.com

perhaps this could be different from system to system?
