Scripting question: Trend by Thursday UI Policy

[Andrew Meza]

Hello, I want to create an error message for a question. The question (date) variable is: what_is_the_expected_date_that_the_refresh_must_be_completed_by

The error message should say "Load release across partitions can only be completed on weekends." when users select thursday as a date AND say yes to variable load_release_across_partition. 

This is a known problem with SN PRB1694977 as for some reason Thursdays don't work in the UI builder. Support told me ill need to script this one out. I am not too familiar with scripting, is someone able to help me with this?

If more background is needed please see my other post: Re: Can someone explain why trend by Thursday does... - Page 2 - ServiceNow Community

gs.addInfoMessage(day); 

if(day == 1){

      return true;

Now, by this logic, you should be able to select only one day. (Check which day is it.)

Next, 
Change the line,

if(day == 1 || day == 2){ // Now check which day is actually day 2 is referring.

      return true;

Continue like this until you get the right days.

Regards,
Najmuddin.

I think I got it! I apologize if this is what you have been telling me to do but you had days 7 &  6 in the script include. I changed them to 5 & 4 and its working!

var checkWeekDay = Class.create();
checkWeekDay.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    weekDay: function() {

        var day1 = this.getParameter('dateSelected')
        var dayWithTime = day1 + " 12:00:00";
        var gcdt = new GlideDateTime(dayWithTime); // fetch date

        gs.print(gcdt);
        var day = gcdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime(); // return the local day number
        gs.print("Day:" + day);
        if (day == 5 || day == 4) {
            // gs.addInfoMessage("weekend");
            return true;

        } else {
            //gs.addInfoMessage("weekday");
            return false;

        }
    },


    type: 'checkWeekDay'
});

Yeah, exactly. 
May be the date format is different in my instance and yours.

I wanted you to check with all the days, trial and error method until you reached the right days.

Hope I had helped you.

Pleas mark as solution Accepted and  helpful.

Najmuddin.
