How to get sys_id of Script in code.

[Geoffrey Bishop]

Hello, ServiceNow Gurus,

Say I have a Business Rule, and that Business Rule calls into a Script Include, and that Script Include writes a message to the System Log...

Is it possible for the script include to figure out, at runtime, its own sys_id?  And include that in the log statement?

I know that I can manually log the sys_id by writing my own log function and passing in the "hard-coded" sys_id, but that's not what I want.  I want for the script itself to magically determine the sys_id of the container it lives in.  Is that possible?  And if so, how please?

Thank you!

Hi,

no you cannot get the sysId of the BR automatically and log it.

@Ankur Bawiskar Thanks, Ankur.  If you can tell me WHY it's not possible, or explain in a little more detail, I'll mark your answer as the "Correct Answer".  : )

Hi,

Because ServiceNow doesn't provide any OOB object which can access the current BR sysId during it's execution.

I believe you, but I wonder how you know this.
