I was in the middle of restoring my PC and thought "I wonder if I canview all the globally accessible things?"

Turns out, you can.

Object.keys(this).forEach(function(thing){try { var type_of_thing = eval('typeof ' + thing); if(type_of_thing === 'object'){ for(var prop in thing){ gs.info('-: ' + prop); } } gs.info(thing + ': ' + eval('typeof ' + thing));} catch(e) { gs.info('error',JSON.stringify(e));}});

In an out of box instance I get a big output. Alot of these are old"Global Business Rules" but some are weird.

Globally available

• SNString

• SNRegExp

• GlideArrayRecord

  • Seems to work just like GlideRecord.

• sys_meta

  • This is super interseting. sys_meta has a property for everytable. sys_meta.sys_user has a property for every field.sys_meta.sys_user.date_format has then a property for thesys_dictionary record. The type iscom.glide.script.FieldGlideDescriptor

• system

  • This is super interesting. This might be what UI Actions haveavailable to them with the action variable. system has oneJavaObject called action. system.action has many things.
