gs.sleep() in scoped application?

[Artemis15]

Hi,

gs.sleep(0 function is not working in scoped application?   Is there any workaround?

Hi Akash,

You cannot use sleep in Scoped Apps. You shouldn't even use it in non-scoped apps.

There is no work-around. If you need to wait for a condition, you need to factor your code to be asynchronous and use callbacks.

Here's my workaround:

/* time is in milliseconds - this is essentially a "sleep" function */
wait: function(time){
   var t1 = new GlideDateTime().getNumericValue();
   var t2 = new GlideDateTime().getNumericValue();
   var duration = t2 - t1;
   while(duration < time){
   t2 = new GlideDateTime().getNumericValue();
   duration = t2 - t1;
   }
},

I'm currently trying to use this workaround. Can someone point me in the right direction on where to place this wait function? Do I place it within the Script Include and then call it on the Client side so it awaits that response?

Thanks!

Please check if you can use retry policy. you can set time interval as well as no of times request will be called in case of any condition like time out etc
