Try using this script. Things which are in Bold are corrected

Script:

var GroupManager = Class.create();

GroupManager.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getUserInfo : function(){

var usr=this.getParameter('sysparm_user');

var gr=new GlideRecord('sys_user');

gr.addQuery('sys_id',usr);

gr.query();

if(gr.next())

{

    return gr.manager+ ',' +gr.location.country;

}

},

    type: 'GroupManager'

});

Ajax script

var ga =new GlideAjax('GroupManager');

   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getUserInfo');

   ga.addParam('sysparm_user','newvalue');

   ga.getXML(pop);

   function pop(response)

   {

    var getresponse=response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');

    var answerAr=getresponse.split(',');

    alert(getresponse);

    g_form.setValue('manager',answerAr[0]);

g_form.setValue('country',answerAr[1]);

   }

Hello @vinod6,

Instead Glide Ajax and script include(BIG code), you can explicitly use client script(little code) to achieve this.

Write OnChang Client script on requested for variable.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

      return;

   }

var userid = g_form.getRefRecord('requested_for', userRef);

  function userRef(userid){

    g_form.setValue('manager', userid.manager.toString());

            g_form.setValue('country', userid.location.country.toString());

  }

}

Hope this finds your easy solution.

Is the version of the instance Utah, or newer?

If yes, you could use the Auto-populate feature of Catalog Variables.

Not a single line of code would be needed.

If not, your code should work with a couple of corrections:

1. JavaScript is case sensitive, so getparameter is not the same as getParameter; therefor you need to correct

var usr = this.getparameter('sysparm_user');​

to

var usr = this.getParameter('sysparm_user');​

When you are unsure, AbstractAjaxProcessor is a plain regular Script Include, you could open it up and have a look.
As suggested previously by @Shamma Negi.

• When setting up the sending of the selected user, you need to pass in the variable newvalue, not the string newvalue; therefor you need to correct

ga.addParam('sysparm_user', 'newvalue');​

to

ga.addParam('sysparm_user', newvalue);​

b.t.w. you need to mind case here too: the correct form - OOB is newValue not newvalue.

This looks like a catalog item to me and if that's so you can use Auto-Populate option in the Maitain Catalog Item form.
