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

I received the following suggested code from ChatGPT, and it worked. However, I still don’t understand why none of the previous codes you suggested worked.

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var day = gdt.getDayOfWeekUTC();

// Check if today is not Sunday (7) or Monday (1)
day != 7 && day != 1;
