What is Script

Include??

@ Salma
Shaik

Reusable server side


script logic that is
executed only when
explicitly called.
Script include

1. Does not have a trigger


2. Client and server callable
depends on the
configuration
3. Code inside the script
include is always server side
code
4. Script include code is
always going to be
executed on the server

Types

OnDemand/
Classless

Extend an
existing class

Define new
class

@ Salma
Shaik
On Demand

Script Include that defines a single function.


The function is callable from other server-
side scripts.
It can never be used in client-side even if
client callable option is selected.
Typically used when script logic needs to be
re-used.
In this Script name and Function must be
same.

Function OnDemand()
{
Syntax //writing the code
}

Define a
new class

Script Include that defines a new


class.
Can define a collection of functions.
Initialize function is automatically
called when javascript object are
created

var Classdemo = Class.create();


Classdemo.prototype = {
Syntax
initialize: function() {},
type: 'Classdemo' };

@ Salma

Extend a script
include
Extending of class is basically inheriting
of class, means accessing the fields and
methods of another class.
Can be called from both client and
server side.
We can extend script include class in
ServiceNow as classes are extensible.

var ExtendClass = Class.create();


ExtendClass.prototype = Object.
Syntax
extendsObject(ExistingScriptInclude
, { type: 'ExtendClass' });

Next steps

I'd love you to try


implementing all three types
in your ServiceNow PDI.

Consider it a training
exercise! Please let me know
in the comments on how it
goes.

Give it a shot yourself first!


I'm happy to help if you get
stuck.
