Q

What does it mean to be a publisher of Web Services

A

Provider/Producing

enabling a Web Service user (customer) to locate the service description

It also instructs the consumer how they should interact with the Web Service

92

Q

The following describe how a SOAP message work:

  1. What is the WSDL link in a SOAP Message
  2. What are the functions found within the WSDL
  3. The Test UI action
  4. Test value
  5. XML response
    6.
A
  1. The WSDL link is the SOAP Message target that serviceNow can consume
  2. These are the functions that can be consumed by ServiceNow (what it will do)
  3. This is a related link used to test the functionality of the SOAP message
  4. The test value is the parameter used to test the web service (this must match the parameter expected in the SOAP message)
  5. This is an XML response from the test call containing information related to the attribute that was in the SOAP Message. Each returned value in the SOAP response can be parsed and added to any ServiceNow table as data, and can be exposed via a form or list.
95
Q

ServiceNow provides two APIs to parse an XML Payload. What are they

A
  • A global API called GlideSystem (gs)
    • gs.getXMLText(String,String) the first parameter provides the XML text to be parsed, and the second parameter provides the Xpath query to locate a specific element within the XML. page 320
  • A scoped API called XMLDocument2
    • Creates an instance of an object including the original xml responseBody (what it’s pulling from). It then uses etNodeText to return the node value of the XPath query passed into the method
96
Q

REST (Representational State Transfer) is a simple stateless architecture that runs over ___

A

HTTP/S

97
Q

What are the formats in which REST can return data

A

XML and JSON

  • JSON - JavaScript Object Notation - Compact format which represents data objects in a serialized textual format
  • XML - Extensible Markup Language - Hierarchical/Structured data format based on Nodes and Attributes. Commonly queried using XPath
98
Q

Describe the concept of a REST END Point

A

this is a unique URL that provides access to an object API/Function (the URL is the location of the data to be retrieved/updated/deleted)

It provides the API for the service

99
Q

What does HTTP stand for and what is it used for in relation to REST

A

This is Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol and it is the language used by the internet.

It facilitates the transport of Web Services

100
Q

What is a REST API

A

this is an Application Programming Interface:

It allows the following Object operations:

  • GET - Read/retrieve a record
  • POST - Create a new table record
  • PUT - Update a table record
  • DELETE - Delete a table record
101
Q

REST messages can be authenticated in three ways:

Basic authentication -

OAuth 2.0 -

Mutual authentication -

explain them

A
  • Basic - Sotre a user nam and password for access to the REST API
  • OAuth 2.0 - A third party registry record is created in ServiceNow. Tokens are passed between the client and the OAuth provider
  • Mutual - Exchange of SSL Certificates between ServiceNow as the outbound calling client and the server system
102
Q

How is JSON typically formatted

A

There is an attribute/value pairs (object)

ex: {“title”:”Hamlet”, “type”:”tragedy”, “location”:”Denmark”}

Q

The perceived performance of a customer ServiceNow instance is made up of what three componenets

A
  • Application Server - Time for the application server to process a request and render the resultant page (ACLs Business Rules, Data Policies)
  • Network - Time for the network to pass your request to the server and the response back (Public Internet, Cutomer Network, Proxy Servers
  • Browser - Time for your browser to render the HTML and parse/execute JavaScript (Client Scripts, UI Policies, number of round trips the browser has to make to the server, Browser settings to accept compressed data)
113
Q

Business rules should:

avoid the use of ___.___();

be wrapped in a ___ to encapsulate variables

Use ___ ___ instead of Global Business Rules because they are only loaded and initialized at the beginning of each interation

A

current.update();

wrap in a function

Script Includes

114
Q

Client scripts and UI Policies run client side. The main differences are what?

A
  • Client Scripts - triggered by onLoad, onSubmit, onChange, onCellEdit events. Pre/post values are available to onChange through oldValue and newValue, and list editing can be controlled using onCellEdit. No control over script execution order, other than all scripts execute before UI Policies
  • UI Policies - fire against onChange and onLoad events only. No access to a field’s prior value, cannot execute on lists; full control over the order of execution and execution takes place after Client Scripts (so always win over Client scripts when script logic conflicts). Scripting not required to apply mandatory/read-only/visibility controls over fields
115
Q

If a reference is needed the getReference() method can be used. Use a ___ ___ with a getReference() call to let the rowser retrieve the reference object data asynchronously

A

callback function

116
Q

Data loaded server-side is more efficient than client-side

use ___ values

use ___ Business Rules

avoid using ___ ___ to populate fields on a form

A
  • use default values
  • use display Business Rules
  • avoid using client scripts to populate fields on a form
117
Q

Display business rules allow things to be added to g_scratchpad. Why is this a good thing to do?

A

By adding display business rules additional trips to the server can be avoided. The data is on the scratchpad and can then be pulled when needed
