Incoming Method Parameters

Standard Object Parameters

When a Java method is invoked by a Rule or Macro, the record's fields are passed to the method in a Parameters instance. That instance contains the object's custom fields, as well as the object's Standard Fields. The following convenience parameters are passed, as well:

Field name	Notes
name	The record's "name", as specified by the object's Record Locator definition. For cases, it's the unique case number. For users, it's the user's full name. And so on.
is_deleted	True (=1) if the record is in the recycle bin. Otherwise false (=0).
userPrimaryTeamId	The current user's team affiliation.

Field Parameters

When a Parameters instance is returned by a search, it contains the fields specified in the search. When passed to a Java method by a Rule or Macro, it contains all of the fields for the current record.

Add this line to your code above to put a complete list of parameters into the debug log:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

// Generate a newline-separated list of parameters Logger.info( params.toString().replace(",", ",\n"), "YourClassName" ); </syntaxhighlight>

The code assumes that your parameters object is named params. It adds a linebreak after each comma in the string-representation of the Parameters hashmap, to improve readability.

Tip: To see the listing clearly, copy the results into a text editor.

Additional Macro Parameters

These values have counterparts in the rule parameters, but have different names:

Field name	Notes
p_service_domain	Ex: acme.claimdynamics.com
userId	The current user's ID.

Additional Rule Parameters

These values are included when a Java method is invoked from a Rule. The first two are equivalent to the additional macro parameters shown above. A number of useful session values are included as well, along with values that pertain to the current user:

Field name	Notes
serverName	Ex: acme.claimdynamics.com
user_id	The current user's ID.
current_application	The ID of the application the user is running.
JSESSIONID	The session identifier. (Generally used only when making a REST API call.)
AWSELB	The AWSELB parameter is injected by the load balancer and after login, it is required for every subsequent request. This parameter directs the requests to the server where the session is established. While making REST requests, we recommended you to retrieve the cookie at the time of login, and send this cookie along with each subsequent request.  For the cloud based platform, (for example, agileappslive.com) we have three web servers. Requests are directed to the web servers by a load balancer which implements session based load balancing.
isCaseDynamicsSession	True (=1) if the ServiceDesk application is running. Else false (=0).
login	not used
layout_id	The ID of the Form that is currently being used to display the record.
user.id
user.primaryteamid
userPrimaryTerritoryId
user_local_time
user	User's full name. For example: Aaron Acme
user.firstname
user.lastname
user.primaryteamname
user.primaryroleid
user.email userEmail	Email address
lang	User's language identifer. For example: en

Current Session Information

In addition to the incoming Parameters, these APIs can be used to get information about the current user and the current session:

• getEnv
• getLoggedInUserInfo
