I agree with Chandu... it's important that we understand the requirement here before trying to implement a solution. You have pointed us to what you believe is the solution, but we don't understand what the use case is. This is risky and can lead to performance issues.

Hi Anshul,

You will have to use the combination of Script Include and synchronous GlideAjax. Follow the below steps to get it done.

1) Create a Client Callable Script include with a single function and gs.sleep(milliseconds) statement.

2) Use Synchronous Glide Ajax on a onChange Client Script to call the above Script Include.

3) Use getXMLWait() function.

Script Include Code

-------------------------------

var PauseScreen3Seconds = Class.create();

PauseScreen3Seconds.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

pauseScreen: function(){

gs.sleep(5000);

},

      type: 'PauseScreen3Seconds'

});

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

onChange Client Script

-------------------------------

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

          return;

    }

var ps = new GlideAjax('PauseScreen3Seconds');

ps.addParam('sysparm_name','pauseScreen');

ps.getXMLWait();

alert('I waited for 5 seconds');

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

}

For more details refer how to keep waiting the business rule for some time.

Hello,

You can write the below line of code to wait for few seconds.

var setTimer='';

setTimer=setTimeout(setTimerDelay,2000);/*to set the timer for 2 sec*/

function setTimerDelay(){

alert('timer waits for 2 sec');

//your code 

}

Hope it will helps you!

Thanks,
