When I use "GlideAjax", is a record kept in a table somewhere?

[bonsai]

If I use "GlideAjax" with the following code, will a log be saved in a table?

// client script – contains onLoad function and a callback function

function onLoad() {
   var ga = new GlideAjax('GetUserInfo'); // GetUserInfo is the script include name 
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','managerName'); // managerName is the function in the script include that we're calling 
   ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name','fred.luddy'); // set user to Fred Luddy 

   /* Call GetUserInfo.managerName() with user set to Fred Luddy and use the callback function ManagerParse() to return the result when ready */
   ga.getXMLAnswer(ManagerParse);  		
}

// callback function for returning the result from the script include
function ManagerParse(response) {  
   alert(response);
}


// GetUserInfo script include 

var GetUserInfo = Class.create();
GetUserInfo.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    managerName: function() {
        var userName = this.getParameter("sysparm_user_name");
        var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        grUser.get("user_name", userName);

        // Build the payload. You can return additional data if needed. 
        var result = {    
           "manager": grUser.getDisplayValue('manager')
        }; 
        return JSON.stringify(result);
    },
    type: 'GetUserInfo'
});

I would like to check the parameters when executing the following script include:

ga.addParam('sysparm_name','managerName');
ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name','fred.luddy');

what's your exact question?

GlideAjax and REST are 2 different things

Is the mechanism of "GlideAjax" similar to REST?
If so, will it be recorded in a REST-related table?

[Omkar Mone · Accepted solution]

This will not be stored in any table. You can log these in your script include with ex -  

var sysparmName = this.getParameter('sysparm_name');

var sysparmUserName = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_name');

gs.info('sysparm_name: ' + sysparmName);

gs.info('sysparm_user_name: ' + sysparmUserName);

Hi @bonsai ,

Check below thread for understanding the glideAjax in details.

Like whats the purpose of it, how you can call, how you can return multi variables and so on..
