Which method is used to retrieve a system property?

• A. gs.getProperty()
• B. System.getProperty
• C. getProperty()
• D. Property.getSystem

Answer: (A)

Retrieving system properties in ServiceNow is done through the GlideSystem object. The getProperty method on this object reads a named property from the sys_properties table and returns its value as a string. This is the standard, platform-specific API for accessing configuration values in server-side scripts. Using gs.getProperty('property.name') directly fetches the desired property. The other options aren’t part of the ServiceNow server-side API: System.getProperty resembles a Java method and isn’t available in this JavaScript environment, getProperty() without an object lacks the context to fetch a specific property, and Property.getSystem isn’t a ServiceNow API method.
