Need to add delay for Business rule in scoped application

[Pavankumar_1]

Hi experts,

Need to add  delay to the business rule in scoped application. using the business rule I am creating the records before creating the records it should wait for some time. for that wait I used the below scripts.

script1:

var when = new GlideDateTime();
var delay = new GlideTime();
delay.setValue("00:02:00");
when.add(delay);

script 2:
gs.sleep(10000); //10 secs

I tried both scripts on Business rules. Please suggest the script to pause BR on scoped application.

Thanks,

Pavan

Hi pavan,

1.) You can try the Async business rule

2.) You can try the below code as well, ms is milliseconds

For reference try @Ankur Bawiskar response from https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=f69322cbdb4cd89c5ed4a851ca96...

function sleep(ms) {
  var endSleep = new GlideDuration().getNumericValue() + ms;
  while ( new GlideDuration().getNumericValue() < endSleep) {
   //wait 
  }

  return;
}

HI,

It's not a best practice to use sleep and delay in scripts, instead make use of scheduled event.
