How to check next working day excluding holiday and week ends ?

[KM SN]

a variable contains how many days its need to add after adding the days to current date I need to check its holiday or not from schedule and also I need to check through script whether it's weekend or not.

At end I need to get the next working day which should neither holiday nor weekend.

checkDate();



function checkDate(){

    var currentDate = new GlideDateTime();

    var nextWorkingDay = getNextWorkingDay(currentDate);

    gs.print('next working day is ' + nextWorkingDay);

}

function getNextWorkingDay(date){

    date.addDays(1);     // step 1. We add one day to the current date

    var schedule = new GlideSchedule('6874e8bb8320221019aff496feaad333'); //sys_id of 24*7 schedule

    var whenNext = schedule.whenNext(date);     // step 2. how long until we are in schedule again

    date.add(whenNext);     // step 3. add the time until we are in schedule to the current date

    return date;

}

Hello @KM SN ,

I'm sorry, I wrote the script using some JavaScript features that are only supported in the latest releases. I have updated my previous post with a script that should work fine on all releases.

Regards,

Robert

//var scheduleId = '9b8af1c083b822107abbb7d6feaad343';
var scheduleId = '090eecae0a0a0b260077e1dfa71da828';		// 8-5 weekdays excluding holidays
currentDate = new GlideDateTime(),
nextWorkingDay = getNextWorkingDay(currentDate, scheduleId);
	
gs.print('next working day is ' + nextWorkingDay);

function getNextWorkingDay(date, scheduleId) {
    var schedule = new GlideSchedule(scheduleId);
	loopCount = 0;
	if (!schedule.isValid()) return;
	date.addDays(1);
	while (!schedule.isInSchedule(date) || isWeekEnd(date)) {
		date.addDays(1);
		if (++loopCount > 100)
			return;
	}
	return date;
}

function isWeekEnd(date){
	if(date.getDayOfWeekLocalTime() > 5){
		return true;
	}
	else
		return false;
} 

There is the OOB "8-5 weekdays excluding holidays" schedule in my PDI. If you want to just use weekdays. Open the OOB "8-5 weekdays excluding holidays", right-click on the page header and Select "Insert and Stay" to create "Weekdays excluding holidays" and add a Schedule entry "Monday - Friday", and a Child Schedule: "U.S. Holidays" or create one for the Holidays you want to use.
