Hi @Rupekumar 

If your asynchronous Business Rule (Async BR) is not working as expected in ServiceNow, there could be several reasons behind it. Here are some common troubleshooting steps you can take to diagnose and resolve the issue:

  1. Review Script Logic: Review the script logic within your Async BR to identify any errors or issues. Pay attention to any database operations, API calls, or other asynchronous tasks performed within the business rule. Make sure the script logic is correct and doesn't contain any syntax errors or logical flaws.

  2. Logging and Debugging: Use logging statements (gs.log()) within your Async BR script to debug and track the execution flow. Log relevant information such as variable values, script execution paths, and error messages to help diagnose the issue. You can view the logged messages in the System Logs or Script Logs in ServiceNow.

  3. Check Queue Status: ServiceNow manages the execution of asynchronous business rules through a dedicated queue. Check the status of the queue to see if there are any pending or failed executions. You can monitor the queue status using the "Business Rules Log" module or by querying the sys_execution table in ServiceNow.

  4. Verify Permissions: Ensure that the user executing the Async BR has the necessary permissions to perform the operations specified in the business rule script. Check the ACLs (Access Control Lists) and ensure that the user has appropriate permissions to access records, execute scripts, and perform database operations.

  5. Server Performance: Consider the overall performance of your ServiceNow instance, as performance issues can affect the execution of asynchronous tasks. Monitor system resources such as CPU usage, memory usage, and database performance to ensure that your instance can handle the workload effectively.

By following these troubleshooting steps and carefully reviewing the configuration, script logic, and execution environment, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your asynchronous Business Rule in ServiceNow.

Please mark as Accepted Solution if this solves your query and HIT Helpful if you find my answer helped you. This will help other community mates too..:)

I just wanted to check .how this async_always works . So I just trying to get display of the message after satisfying the simple condition. After waiting hour still I can't see the message on my table record/form.

Because the Business Rule is asynchronous it will not run in your transaction/session so any message will go into a black hole.

That's interesting.  I am taking training from certified trainer, he told, it will display anytime but the time is not fixed. Thank you so much for the clarification.
