What is the preferred alternative to using sys_domain_path values in scripts?

The preferred alternative to using sys_domain_path values in scripts is the sys_domain. Utilizing the sys_domain is encouraged because it provides a more structured and manageable way to handle domain-specific operations and queries within ServiceNow. When employing sys_domain, you can leverage its capabilities to efficiently filter and retrieve information based on the domain context without manually handling complex path strings.

This approach enhances readability and maintainability of scripts since it abstracts away the specifics of domain paths, reducing the risk of errors that can arise from hardcoded values or complicated path structures. By referencing domains through sys_domain, you ensure that your scripts are less error-prone and adaptable to changes in domain configurations. This makes it easier for developers to write code that is compliant with best practices and can seamlessly function across various domain contexts.
