How to trigger a scheduled job from a business rule

[johannes5]

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

Do you know if there is a way to trigger a scheduled job from a business rule. The input to the scheduled job would be the serial number so I would like to pass that along from a business rule. Please advise.

Thanks,

Johannes

Trigger Business Rule from Scheduled Job

Hi Pradeep,

Thanks for your response.

This is from a schedule job to a business rule though. What I am looking for is from a business rule to a schedule job. In other words when the business rule runs it triggers a schedule job. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

Johannes

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Can you please give more details on this requirement.

Hi Johannes,

This is an interesting question, and not a typical one at that. Scheduled jobs are normally set to run at a specific time, interval, etc. Business rules run based on a database trigger. They are two different use cases in my mind. What's more, scheduled jobs don't take parameters. It sounds like you might need a script include or something else instead.

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to accomplish? I'd like to understand better what your requirement so I can offer an appropriate solution or options.
