03/16/2022, 5:04 PMwe have map/reduce script that is triggered either by time or by user this code sits at the top, the user passes in params how can I check if serchid is empty meaning it was not triggered by the user ?
Copy code
var searchid = runtime
.getCurrentScript()
.getParameter({ name: "custscriptinput" });s

03/16/2022, 5:17 PMwhen the user fired script searchid will be a string if the sytem fired it it will be an object

03/16/2022, 5:18 PMthis is what i did but dont love it
Copy code
var loadid = typeof searchid === "string" ? searchid : shipvia.getday(day);s

03/16/2022, 11:00 PMtypeof cant really be used for null checks
battk
03/16/2022, 11:01 PMbasically because typeof will give the same value for a null and a non null value
battk
03/16/2022, 11:01 PMthe example i gave was that
Copy code
typeof null === 'object'battk
03/16/2022, 11:04 PMmore normal inputs like typeof {} also equal 'object'

03/17/2022, 5:04 PMHave you tried checking the runtime.executionContext to see if they are different? Also you could just get the deploymentId from runtime, if the user triggered it should have a different deployment id than the scheduled one.
