Please explain current.variable_pool

[Mrman]

Hi ,

Can someone please let me know what is "current.variable_pool" used in the business rule to call the Rest message . We are calling the REST messages for posting the varaibles information to 3rd party tool.

Our script looks like this , please clarify   what is difference between r.setStringParameter('your rest parameter name using which you want to send', current.variables.your_variable_name); and the below mentioned.

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Tufin New VPN Request', 'post');

  r.setEccParameter('skip_sensor', true);  

  r.setStringParameter('algorithm', current.variable_pool.algorithm.getDisplayValue());

  r.setStringParameter('bpemail1', current.variable_pool.partnerEmail1);

  r.setStringParameter('bpemail2', current.variable_pool.partnerEmail2);

  r.setStringParameter('bpname', current.variable_pool.partnerName1);

  r.setStringParameter('bpname2', current.variable_pool.partnerName2);

  r.setStringParameter('bpphn1', current.variable_pool.bpphn1);

  r.setStringParameter('bpphn2', current.variable_pool.bpphn2);

  r.setStringParameter('citrix', current.variable_pool.citrix.getDisplayValue());

  r.setStringParameter('company', current.variable_pool.companyName.getDisplayValue());

Hi Ravi,

You are accessing the value of variables in a requested item using the variable_pool. You can also use the variables object to access this value from a RITM.

current.variable_pool.partnerEmail1 is also same as current.variables.partnerEmail1

Thank You

Here are few other information

variable_pool and variables refer to the same object but the former is an older version used in Service Now to access variable values.   It's similar to variables where it's an object that let's you access variable values from the requested item in a script.

current.variable_pool.variableName;

Question: Whats is the difference between current.variables and current.variable_pool when it comes ...

Hi Alikutty,

Thanks, So , I can use r.setStringParameter('your rest parameter name using which you want to send', current.variables.your_variable_name); instead of variable_pool ?

Will it give same result of sending the varaible information via REST API right?

[Alikutty A · Accepted solution]

Yes you can use the current.variables.variable_name syntax instead of the variable_pool, both should work.

Thank You
