Info message not showing in portal

Hello,

 

I have a requirement to show an alert if the record already exists in the table for the same name and show the link to the record through alert or infomessage. For this I wrote a Catalog client script and is working while doing 'Try it'  but not  working when I am trying the same through portal. 

My OnChange Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}
var name = g_form.getValue('u_full_name');
var usr = new GlideRecord('u_eap');
usr.addQuery('u_full_name',name);
usr.query();
if(usr.next()){

var link = '<a href="u_eap.do?sys_id=' + usr.sys_id + '" class="breadcrumb" >' + usr.u_full_name + '</a>';
var message = 'The EAP record already exists for the name entered. Please check here' + link + ' .<br/>';

g_form.addInfoMessage(message);

}

}

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shwetha,

GlideRecord is not allowed in client script in portal; so it would break; Refer below

GlideRecord Client API does not work in the Service Catalog standard UI but works in Service Portal

You need to use GlideAjax + Script Include approach for this -> it would work in native and portal both

Updated code below for GlideAjax

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

var name = g_form.getValue('u_full_name');

var ga = new GlideAjax('u_userInfoAjax');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "getInfo");
ga.addParam('sysparm_userFullName', name);
ga.getXMLAnswer(callBackMethod);

}

function callBackMethod(response){

var answer = response;

if(answer != ''){
var link = '<a href="u_eap.do?sys_id=' + answer + '" class="breadcrumb" >' + g_form.getValue('u_full_name') + '</a>';

var message = 'The EAP record already exists for the name entered. Please check here' + link + ' .<br/>';

g_form.addInfoMessage(message);
}

}

Script Include: Create Client Callable Script Include

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

	getInfo: function(){
		var name = this.getParameter('sysparm_userFullName');
		var usr = new GlideRecord('u_eap');
		usr.addQuery('u_full_name', name);
		usr.query();
		if(usr.next()){
			return usr.sys_id;
		}
		return '';
	},

	type: 'u_userInfoAjax'
});

Today, i visited this YouTube video and in that they have mentioned the use of getMessage(). and it would really help if we are looking for language localization. But they have mentioned one thing is that g_form.addInfMessage(getMessage("MESSAGE_KEY")) is synchronous and won`t work in portal unless we make it a asynch.

@Ankur Bawiskar  Please check and correct us if this is not the case.
