required help @Vasantharajan N @Ankur Bawiskar @Voona Rohila @WillieW @RaghavSh
As I need to automate the standard change request creation every 2nd Friday of the month for the change templates that I have with me along with that change tasks also need to create and those change tasks need to auto assign to assignment groups that I have with
Short Description: [assignment_group] Microsoft Patching
Description: New Microsoft patches installed
Change Template:
1. Monthly Microsoft Patching
2. Monthly PMPC Patching
Assignment Groups:
- Supply Chain Engineering
- Corporate Engineering
- Digital Engineering
you can create scheduled job which runs daily and it will check if today is 2nd Friday of mont
this you can check in condition of scheduled job
once condition becomes true you can write sample script below
answer = false;
var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
// 1 is Monday and 5 is Friday
if ((gdt.getDayOfMonthLocalTime() >= 8 && gdt.getDayOfMonthLocalTime() <= 14) && (gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime() == 5)) {
answer = true;
}Script below
(function() {
var templateName = 'your_standard_change_template'; // Replace with your template name
var assignmentGroup = 'Microsoft Patching'; // Replace with your assignment group
var change = new GlideRecord('change_request');
change.initialize();
change.type = 'standard'; // Ensure the change type is standard
change.assignment_group.setDisplayValue(assignmentGroup);
// Apply the template
if (change.applyTemplate(templateName) == 0) {
gs.info('Template applied successfully to change request');
} else {
gs.info('Failed to apply template');
}
// Insert the change request
var changeSysId = change.insert();
gs.info('Standard change request created: ' + changeSysId);
// add logic here to create change tasks
})();

@Ankur Bawiskar @Dr Atul G- LNG @Vasantharajan N @Matthew_13 @SumanthDosapati with below script Change request and change task is getting created but the fields in the change request are not getting populated with the change template field values and it should execute on 2nd Thursday of every month so replaced with 4.
(function() {
var templateName = 'sys ID of the Template'; // Replace with your template name
var change = new GlideRecord('change_request');
change.initialize();
change.type = 'standard'; // Ensure the change type is standard
// Apply the template
if (change.applyTemplate(templateName) == 0) {
gs.info('Template applied successfully to change request');
} else {
gs.info('Failed to apply template');
}
// Insert the change request
var changeSysId = change.insert();
gs.info('Standard change request created: ' + changeSysId);
// logic to create change tasks
var rec = new GlideRecord('change_task');
rec.initialize();
rec.change_request = changeSysId;
rec.short_description = 'Your Testing';
rec.description = 'Confirm business application functions as it should with new Microsoft patches installed.';
rec.assignment_group.setDisplayValue('Supply Chain Engineering');
rec.insert();

@Arjun Reddy Yer - Why don't you use the "Scheduled Standard Change Template" that has the Change task template included?
You can use the OOTB "advanced options" to run the schedule as per your need without coding, (Zurich)
