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 debug( params.toString().replace(",", ",\n") ); </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 get a really good listing, 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
user_id	The id of the record in the User object.

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
userId	The id of the record in the User object.
current_application	The ID of the application the user is running.
JSESSIONID	The session identifier. (Generally used only when making a REST API call.)
isCaseDynamicsSession	True (=1) if the ServiceDesk application is running. Else false (=0).
login	__TBD: ???__
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
