How to access url parameters inside a Business Rule

[harinalamalapu]

Hello Community,

Is there a way I can query the URL parameters from a Business Rule?

I see that the 'Copy Change' UI Action is framing an URL which will contain parameters 'sys_id', 'sysparm_query' and 'sysparm_goto_url', I am interested in capturing these URL parameters in a before query business rule. This business rule runs before a new record is created (where sys_id = -1).

Thanks,

Hari

I don't quite get the scenario you are going for, but regardless... you need a way to take information from the client (URL parameters) and access them from Server Side.

The only things I can think of is trying to use GlideAjax to store the parameters somewhere, or Session Client Data (or a combination):

putClientData(name, value);

getClientData(name);

clearClientData(name);

You can use current.operation() == 'insert' instead. No need to "capture" URI.

I'm not sure if the Business Rule can access them, but you can get parameters and values using:

RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_whatever');

I was able to get along by using 'gs.action.getGlideURI()' to retrieve URL parameters in a Business Rule.

I used the following approach to check if the URL contains a certain look up string:

gs.action.getGlideURI().toString().indexOf('Search String')

I used the following to get the value of URL Parameters:

gs.action.getGlideURI().getMap().get('URL Parameter Name')
