Passing data to Scheduled Script

[jcanuel]

Hi

I am triggering a Scheduled Script from a UI Action using SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow.

Is it possible to pass data to the Scheduled Script ?

Thanks

Jacques Canuel - Hi Jack - Were you able to resolve this?

All - Has anyone accomplished this? I want to pass a parameter to scheduled job while triggering it from a script. I am aware of SncTriggerSynchronizer but not sure how to pass the parameter.

Any help will be appreciated.

Could I suggest that you use an event to trigger a UI Script.

This way you can parse parameters to your script.

1. Navigate to "System Policy > Events > Registry"
2. Click 'New'
3. Create your event record (let's say "event.test")
4. Add the following code to your Server Side UI Action
   
   

   var parm1 = "Whatever you want";
   var parm2 = "Something else";
   gs.eventQueue("event.test", current, parm1, parm2);

5. Navigate to "System Policy > Events > Script Actions"
6. Click 'New'
7. Set event to "event.test"
8. Write your script in 'Script'
9. Use variables 'parm1' and 'parm2' to refer to your parameters

Paul Morris - Thanks for your reply. I am aware of this approach. However, I want to run a "scheduled job" with the params. Especially use the feature of running the script as a particular user.

Unfortunately I can't see any other way to do it.

If you want to a script to execute as a user, you could impersonate the user via the gs.getSession().impersonate(parm1), where parm1 is gs.getUserID() from the calling business rule.

If you didn't have a requirement to parse in parameters you could also use

fcRunAs=user

fcScriptName=incident autoclose

to run the the scheduled job as a user, where the script is a business rule.
