Hi Experts,

Good Day !
Can someone please let me know what is the use of this.getParameter('') does in script include with an example, if possible ?

I am trying to explore GlideAjax but not able to get the use of this.getParameter('') in script include ?

Thank you in advance !

Thank you,

Hello Rishi,

var usrName = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_name'); //Here sysparm_user_name will have the input received from client script i.e ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name',"Bob");

This is used to get the value of that parameter which is used in client script

for example

in client script it should be written as

ga.addParam('sysparm_sysid',g_form.getUniqueValue());

here we pass a value with this parameter and in script include it should be written as this.getParameter('sysparm_sysid') to get value of it.

Here sysparm should be mandatory but we can add name with it as i shown above

In ServiceNow, this.getParameter() is a method primarily used within client-callable Script Includes that extend the AbstractAjaxProcessor class. This method allows you to retrieve parameters that have been passed from a client-side script (such as a Client Script) to the server-side Script Include via a GlideAjax call.
