I’ve been using GlideRecord for the past nine years. The time has come to move on from GlideRecord and experiment with GlideQuery. This post will show you how to run a query using GlideQuery.
Let us get started.

During implementation, the GRC team noticed that it is challenging to use the basic indicator type to monitor all control, especially control 123.
So what is the deal with control 123?
Continue reading →We can learn so many things from software development and architecture principles. In software development, writing clean code is crucial; if you are a software developer, you would 100% appreciate the importance of clean code.
You might argue that the word ‘clean’ is a bit arbitrary here and what makes a code clean? Another thing you might say is that ServiceNow is a kind of low-code or no-code platform, so how is this applicable?
Let us look at the tenets of clean code and see how we can apply this to our ServiceNow implementation.
A few days ago I saw a question on the ServiceNow community about how inheritance works in a script include so I thought to write a short article about that.
In Script include we can write a function or we can create a class. In JavaScript, class is an object, an object can access properties and functions from another object, this we call Inheritance
Inheritance is a great way to create a parent/child hierarchy of classes. A good use case for inheritance is when you wish to indicate that one object is mostly similar to another, but with some variations.

Every organization wants to ensure that their data is inaccessible for unauthorized users..even if unauthorized users gain access to data, they won’t be able to read it, that is where encryption becomes very important.

ServiceNow AssessmentCreation API provides a way to generate assessments via script. In the article, I am using createAssessments method to generate assessments via Service Portal Widget
first here is a quick explanation of the method parameter
AssessmentCreation.createAssessments (String typeID, // Assessment Metric Type Sys ID
String sourceRecordID, // Assessable Record which will be the source of assessment
String userID // users ID to which to send assessment instances to
)

ServiceNow has built-in antivirus scanner that scans attachment table for viruses and other harmful items. Antivirus scanning moves the file to quarantine and marks the file as unavailable if an infection is found.

The script runs asynchronously and you don’t have to worry about setting up the right time for the job
Employee Relation COE (sn_hr_core_case_relations) is no longer available, instead new customers are going to use sn_hr_er_case table which is sets in Human Resources Scoped App: Employee Relations [com.sn_hr_employee_relations] not in Human Resources: Core App. New Employee Relation provides a data model that supports tighter security and saves tons of work that usually spends on customization ACL or data segregations
like many ServiceNow pros, Semaphore comes to mind when there is a performance issue, however, Semaphore is much bigger than that. here I am trying to learn more about Semaphore.
What is Semaphore?
according to ServiceNow docs and JVM docs, Semaphore manages and protects ServiceNow resources and limits the number of activities for a specific resource. Semaphore does that by controlling transaction queues in a first-in-first-out fashion(FIFO).
