Schedule Job for 3rd Thursday of Every Month

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

Can someone please advise on the conditional code for running a scheduled job for every 3rd Thursday of the month?

I can find examples online but I am not sure what to change in the code to match my requirement.

Many thanks,

Alex

Try the following:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime().getDate();
var day = gdt.getDayOfMonth();
var week = gdt.getDayOfWeek();

if(day == 4 && week == 3) {
    //3rd thursday of month
}

Hi,

When the script is added in condition what should be the job run is it daily, on demand?

I tried the same script but when I used daily request is created daily so I tried to use monthly but need to enter the date also.

Thanks

Hi there,

My scheduled job is set up like this -

With the below condition -

//3rd thursday of month
checkDayOfMonth("Thu", "3");

function checkDayOfMonth(day, number){
	
	var result;
	var ordinals = ["", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"];
	var date = String(new Date());
	var tokens = date.split(" ");
	var floatNumber = ordinals[Math.ceil(tokens[2]/7)];
	var weekDay = tokens[0];
	
	if(floatNumber == number && weekDay == day){
		result = true;
	} else {
		result = false;
	}
		
	return result;
}

Hopefully this also works for you!

Thanks,
Alex
