sleep function not availabe in scoped application?

[Gayathri29]

I am using server side script include to poll the ecc queue every second, for the  input record to be created. I need to wait for an maximum of 25 seconds before the operation is completed. when I used gs.sleep(1000). This function is not available in scoped application. Is there any other function we can use other than sleep function. Will be grateful for any guidance or support.

Hello Gayathri,

You cannot use the sleep function in a scoped application. Here is a workaround that you could apply

1) Create a Script Include in Global Scope, Accessible from All Application Scopes 

var MyGlobalScopeUtils = Class.create();
MyGlobalScopeUtils.prototype = {

initialize: function() {},

sleep: function (duration) {
   gs.sleep(duration);
},

type: 'MyGlobalScopeUtils'
};

 2) In your scoped script, Call this function as

var globalUtils = new global.MyGlobalScopeUtils();
globalUtils.sleep(1000);

Please try it out and let me know.
