getReference() is not working in scoped app

[Ashwini Jadhao]

Hi,

I have written the onChange client script on "time_machine_name" variable to add and remove the option from the select box variable.

script:

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

var tmName = g_form.getDisplayBox('time_machine_name').value;
var addDB = g_form.getReference('tmName', addOptionInDBType);

function addOptionInDBType(addDB) {
alert('inside function');
if (addDB.type == 'oracle_database')
alert('insideif'+addDB.type);
g_form.addOption('databaseType', 'oracle_database_clone', 'Oracle');
g_form.removeOption('databaseType', 'saphana_database_clone');
g_form.removeOption('databaseType', 'sqlserver_database_clone');
g_form.removeOption('databaseType', 'postgres_database_clone');
g_form.removeOption('databaseType', 'mysql_database_clone');
g_form.removeOption('databaseType', 'mariadb_database_clone');
}
}

Could you please help me where i am doing wrong?

getReference won't work in scoped app.you can use script include to get the details.

Example

Script Include

var HelloWorld = Class.create();
HelloWorld.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
   helloWorld:function() { return "Hello " + this.getParameter('sysparm_user_name') + "!"; } ,
   _privateFunction: function() { // this function is not client callable     
    }
 });




Client Script

var ga = new GlideAjax('HelloWorld');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'helloWorld');
ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name', "Bob");
ga.getXML(HelloWorldParse);
 
function HelloWorldParse(response) {
  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
  alert(answer); }

Hi, 
Can you try changing:

var tmName = g_form.getDisplayBox('time_machine_name').value;
var addDB = g_form.getReference('tmName', addOptionInDBType);

to

var addDB = g_form.getReference('time_machine_name', addOptionInDBType);

Hi Anu,

Is time_machine_name a reference field?

If so, you need to use below.

var addDB = g_form.getReference('time_machine_name', addOptionInDBType);

instead of

var addDB = g_form.getReference('tmName', addOptionInDBType);
