Help to Make Scheduled Jobs to Run Only on Weekdays

[Mohamed Elsayed]

Hi All,

I’ve used the Scheduled Entity Generation feature to set up a daily case for morning checks. However, I need it to run only on weekdays. I’ve made it conditional and applied the script below, but it’s still running on weekends. Any suggestions?

(function() {
    var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

    // Get the day of the week (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)
    var day = gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime();

    // Check if today is Saturday (6) or Sunday (7)
    if (day == 6 || day == 7) {
        return false; // Do not run the job on weekends
    } else {
        return true; // Run the job on weekdays
    }
})();

Regards,

Mo

Sorry I've just noticed that I did not added the logs:

@Mohamed Elsayed 

you are comparing wrong values, it should be 6 and 7 and not 7 and 1

use this in background script and check

(function() {
    var now = new GlideDateTime();

    // Check if today is not Saturday (7) or Sunday (1)
	gs.info(now.getDayOfWeekUTC());
    if (now.getDayOfWeekUTC() != 7 && now.getDayOfWeekUTC() != 6) {
        gs.info('Today is not weekend');
    }
	else{
		gs.info('Today is a weekend');
	}
})();

Thanks @Ankur Bawiskar,

I just replaced the Saturday (6) with Monday (1) just to test the script and see if the case will be created or not. In the background-script, it works and show the log value correctly

@Mohamed Elsayed 

you can keep Monday as 1 and see what result it gives?
