How can convert date format from YYYY-MM-DD to MM/DD/YYYY in Flow Designer Action

[chandan15]

Hi,

Below script I am using in flow designer Action to create JSON payload .Getting data from Time_card and creating a record, and again taking those info & converting into JSON format. But in servicenow it is in yyyy-mm-dd format, how ever the integration with which tool, that is supporting  mm/dd/yyyy format.

In the line 53, I have used the script to convert but, I'm getting error, the same script I have tried in BR, it is working.

Can anyone please help me on this to detect my error !!

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
    var reqJson = {};
    var tcq = inputs.tcq;
    var obj = {};
    //var gr = tcq;
	
    var gr = new GlideRecord('time_card'); // Getting info from this table
    gr.addEncodedQuery("user.u_fieldglass_enabled_user=true");
    gr.query();

    while (gr.next()) {
        if (!obj[gr.user + '']) {
            obj[gr.user + ''] = {};
        }
        if (!obj[gr.user + ''][gr.week_starts_on + '']) {
            obj[gr.user + ''][gr.week_starts_on + ''] = {};
        }
        var arr = ['sunday', 'monday', 'tuesday', 'wednesday', 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday'];
        for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            var temp = Number(obj[gr.user + ''][gr.week_starts_on + ''][arr[i]]);
            obj[gr.user + ''][gr.week_starts_on + ''][arr[i]] = temp ? temp + Number(gr[arr[i]]) : Number(gr[arr[i]]);
        }
    }
    var data_array = [];
    for (var x in obj) {
        for (var y in obj[x]) {
            var rolgr = new GlideRecord('u_fieldglass_time_card_rollup');//creating record in thins field
            rolgr.initialize();
            rolgr['u_week_start_date'] = y; //
            rolgr['u_user'] = x;
            rolgr['u_sunday'] = obj[x][y]['sunday'];
            rolgr['u_saturday'] = obj[x][y]['saturday'];
            var sys_id = rolgr.insert();
            data_array.push(sys_id.toString());
        }
    }
    if (rolgr.length > 0) {
        throw new Error("Missing mandatory fields" + " " + rolgr);
    }
    gs.log("SAP array" + data_array.toString());

    var optarr = [];
    var gr1 = new GlideRecord("u_fieldglass_time_card_rollup");//getting record and converting into JSON payload
    gr1.addQuery("sys_id", "IN", data_array.toString());
    gr1.query();
    while (gr1.next()) {
        var obj1 = {};
        obj1.user = gr1.u_user.getDisplayValue().toString();
        obj1.Sat_Hrs = gr1.u_saturday.toString();
        obj1.Sun_Hrs = gr1.u_sunday.toString();

        var dt = gr1.u_week_start_date; //Added to convert date format
        var gd = new GlideDate(); //Added to convert date format
        gd.setValue(dt); //Added to convert date format
        var gc = gd.getByFormat("MM/dd/yyyy"); //Added to convert date format

        obj1.Week_Start_Date = gc; //Date should show by following above script

        optarr.push(obj1);
    }
    gs.log("SAP__" + optarr.length);
    gs.log("SAP__" + JSON.stringify(optarr));
    gs.log("SAP__" + (optarr.toString()));

    var optc = JSON.stringify(optarr);
    outputs.optc = optc;

})(inputs, outputs);

Hi,

This link addresses the same issue.

[chandan15]

yes, I have already gone through that, so I have added this line

But I am getting this error

Replace the below line...It works..

obj1.Week_Start_Date = gd.getByFormat("MM/dd/YYYY");

perfect, now it is showing correct result.
