need help with isinSchedule()

[sk87]

Hi Guys,

So I've been introduced to Schedules and have been working on it for last couple of days.

Here's the code am trying to run in a scheduled job that would submit a catalog item if the date in in schedule '8-5 weekdays excluding holidays'. Each time I pass a weekday or any day for that matter, it goes in the else clause. Any thoughts?

*******************

var schedRec = new GlideRecord('cmn_schedule');	// Query table for schedule
schedRec.get('name','8-5 weekdays excluding holidays');	// Get the schedule name
var sched = new GlideSchedule(schedRec.sys_id);	// Create variable schedule
var schedTime = new GlideDateTime("09-14-2017 08:30:00");	// Create variable with current date/time

if (sched.isInSchedule(schedTime))

{

      gs.log('In schedule');

}  

else

{  

      gs.log('not in schedule');    

}

********************

From what I have understood, here the date passed is a weekday and hence should print 'In schedule' in the logs. But its not. Kindly advise.

Thanks

For future adventurers, here is a script I use to help test schedules:

//Background Script - Schedule Test
(function() {
var schedule = new GlideSchedule('5afd4fae4fe92b00a2c3d0af0310c7f7');//Put Your Schedule sys_id here
gs.print('Schedule Name: '+schedule.getName());
gs.print('Valid Schedule: '+schedule.isValid()); //If this says false, your schedule isn't valid
var d = new GlideDateTime();
d.setDisplayValue("12-25-2018 08:30:00");
if(schedule.isInSchedule(d)){
gs.print('In Schedule: '+d);
}
else {
gs.print('Outside Schedule: '+d);
}
})();

Hey,

I'm getting false value in schedule.isValid(), do you know why ?

(function() {
var schedule = new GlideSchedule('55ebbbf15f002000b12e3572f2b47714');//Put Your Schedule sys_id here
gs.print('Schedule Name: '+schedule.getName());
gs.print('Valid Schedule: '+schedule.isValid()); //If this says false, your schedule isn't valid
var d = new GlideDateTime();
d.setDisplayValue("12-25-2018 08:30:00");
if(schedule.isInSchedule(d)){
gs.print('In Schedule: '+d);
}
else {
gs.print('Outside Schedule: '+d);
}
})();
