Hi Pooja,

Step 1, create an event. Event Registry - ServiceNow Wiki

Step 2: Create your scheduled job script. The scheduled job will only trigger an event if it meets the criteria I specified above "it is saturday, and it is the last saturday." Use gs.eventQueue() to trigger the event. GlideSystem - ServiceNow Wiki

Step 3: Create a notification that reacts to the event. Events and Email Notification - ServiceNow Wiki

HI Tom,

i put all pieces as you suggested but i am stuck at point where i am not able to see logs which i put in conditional part of schedule script. is there any way i can see logs/ or debug my script which is in condition section of schedule script?

Change your gs.print statements to gs.log. They will show up under System Logs> System Log> Script Log statements.

Also, consider using scripts background to test your script.

thanks Chuck.

i tried going to scripts background, but i saw blank page. even though i am sys admin, do i need special permissions to run scripts background?

Depending on the release of ServiceNow, you may need to elevate your access to security_admin. Starting in Helsinki, this is no longer required.
