Alternative of gs.sleep() in Scripted Rest API

mansigoel · ‎05-31-2024

Hi,

I want a delay of 10 seconds in my scripted REST API Script.

It is working through gs.sleep() - my usecase is to wait for sc_task to be generated after creation of RITM.

But, since this is not a best practice to use gs.sleep() , I want an alternative approach to implement.

Can anyone help on this?

Hi @mansigoel ,

You can use:

var startTime = new Date().getTime();
                var delay = 10000; // Simulating a delay of 10 seconds 
while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + delay) {
                    // Simulating the delay
                }

Hi @mansigoel,

Please explain in detail.

Is third party system calling your API and you want to delay the response for 10 secs? Delaying API response is not advisable. We should
Or you are calling an API from Workflow or BR? Please explain how you are calling them.

Thank you,
