GlideCurrencyConfig - Scoped

The GlideCurrencyConfig API provides methods to retrieve various configuration information for FX Currency fields.

You can acquire information for a specific FX Currency field by calling the GlideCurrencyConfig(Object ed) constructor, which associates a specific FX Currency field to the instantiated object. When calling the various GlideCurrencyConfig() methods, if a record exists in the FX Currency Configuration [fx_configuration] table for the FX Currency field, the requested value is passed back. If a record or field is not available, the default value is passed back. You can also acquire the default FX Currency configuration values by calling the GlideCurrencyConfig() constructor.

For additional information on FX Currency configuration, see Setting up and operating FX Currency fields.

This class runs is in the sn_currency namespace.

GlideCurrencyConfig - GlideCurrencyConfig()

Instantiates a GlideCurrencyConfig object that enables the retrieval of global default FX Currency configuration information.

When calling the available methods on this type of GlideCurrencyConfig object, the return values are the FX Currency global defaults from system properties. If a global default is not defined in system properties, a hard-coded default is returned (this can also be an empty value if not configured).

This object does not provide configuration information for a specific FX Currency field. To retrieve specific FX Currency field information, use the GlideCurrencyConfig(Object ed) constructor.

For more information, see Configuring FX Currency global settings.

var cur_config = new sn_currency.GlideCurrencyConfig();

GlideCurrencyConfig - GlideCurrencyConfig(Object ed)

Instantiates a GlideCurrencyConfig object that enables the retrieval of the configuration information for a specific FX Currency field.

When calling the available methods on this type of GlideCurrencyConfig object, the return values are from the FX Currency Configuration [fx_configuration] record associated with the FX Currency field, if a record exists. If a record does not exist, default values are returned.

GlideCurrencyConfig - getAggregationSource()

Returns the aggregation source value for an FX Currency field.

If called on an existing FX Currency field that has a corresponding FX Currency Configuration [fx_configuration] record, returns the value of the Aggregation Source (aggregation_source) field. Otherwise, if a new record, returns a default value.
