How to run the schedule job for every 2 weeks on saturday

[Sethu Varma]

Hi Team,

I want to run the schedule job for every 2 weeks on saturday. There is no option like every 2 weeks.

Hi @Sethu Varma 

For the time being, you'll need to implement a code-based solution for this. However, this issue is resolved in the Zurich release.

Hi @Sethu Varma ,

Configure Scheduled job like below

• Name: Give your job a descriptive name (e.g., "EveryTwoWeeksSaturdayJob").
• Run: Select "Weekly".
• Time: Set the desired time for the job to run.
• Day of week: Select "Saturday".
• Advanced: Select the "Advanced" checkbox.
• Condition: Add a script to check if the current date is the correct Saturday. This script will filter for every other Saturday.

Script in Condition like:

(function() {
var today = new Date();
var firstDayOfMonth = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), 1);
var daysSinceFirstDay = (today.getTime() - firstDayOfMonth.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
var weekNumber = Math.ceil((daysSinceFirstDay + firstDayOfMonth.getDay() + 1) / 7);

if (weekNumber % 2 == 0) { // Check if it's an even week (every other Saturday)
answer = true; // Run the job
} else {
answer = false; // Don't run the job
}
})();

Hi @Sethu Varma ,

Create a scheduled job to run every Saturday, at specific time, and write the below code in advance script condition

(function() {

        var answer = false; //This flag will decide to run a job or not
        var weekNumber = new GlideDateTime().getWeekOfYearLocalTime());
    if (weekNumber % 2 == 0)
        answer = true

})();

If you schedule now, this will run perfectly because the running weeknumber is 32 so it will run this Saturday and skips next Saturday and runs on next-to-next Saturday and so on.... 

For more similar kind of situation, you go throw the below references.
