In a scheduled script execution script, which built-in objects are available for use?

• A. Glide System and Glide Record
• B. Glide User and Glide Client
• C. Glide Form and Glide Page
• D. Glide Script and Glide Engine

Answer: (A)

In scheduled script execution, you’re running on the server, so you use server-side APIs. The two built-in objects you’ll most commonly rely on are Glide System and Glide Record. GlideSystem (accessed as gs) provides system-related utilities like logging, time, and properties. GlideRecord is the primary way to interact with data in scripts: you create a GlideRecord for a table, build queries, iterate over results, and update or create records as needed. For example, you might query incidents in a scheduled job and update them in a loop, while logging progress with gs.info. This combination—server-side logging with GlideSystem and data access with GlideRecord—is exactly what a scheduled script needs. The other options point to client-side or UI-specific objects that aren’t available in server-side scheduled scripts, such as objects tied to user sessions or form/page UI. They’re not applicable to this context, and terms like Glide Script or Glide Engine aren’t standard built-in server-side objects in ServiceNow.
