Schedule Job for Selected day of Selected Month

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

I have a requirement for scheduled jobs to run on the on a certain day on certain months, for example -

Run on 1st of March, June, September and December.

Is there a conditional script to achieve this and to miss out weekends?

Many thanks,

Alex

Set your scheduled job to run Monthly, on the date you need and time. Then in the condition script check for the month to trigger. Example below script triggers on 1 month, 4 month, etc

var result = false;
var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
if (gdt.getMonthLocalTime() == 1 || gdt.getMonthLocalTime() == 4 || gdt.getMonthLocalTime() == 7 || gdt.getMonthLocalTime() == 10) {
	result = true;
}
result;

Hi Michael,

Thank you!

I have set this now and will confirm this worked correctly tomorrow, 1st day of 10th month.

Thanks again,

Alex

If I am not mistaken, this will only run on the 1st of the month. If the 1st falls on a weekend, then this should not run on that day, but wait until Monday.

Ah yes, nice catch! Alex, this will not exclude weekends, missed that in your original post!

Hi Michael,

This has worked!  I double checked with the team that requested this and skipping weekends was not actually required.

Thanks again!
