Trigger Subflow for Scheduled Job

[neil_b]

Hello ServiceNow Community!

I am trying to trigger a subflow on my scheduled job that's supposed to run Mondays & Wednesdays. Here is my condition: 

answer = false;
var gdt = new Date();
var day = gdt.getDay();
if(day != 0 && day != 2 && day != 4 && day != 5 && day != 6) {
answer = true;
} 

This works fine because when I use gs.info, day 3 returns today and answer is in fact true.

My script to execute is as follows: 

(function() {
	try {
		var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI
		.getRunner()
		.subflow('global.approval_reminder')
		.inForeground()
		.run();
	} catch (ex) {
		var message = ex.getMessage();
		gs.error(message);
	}
})();

When I execute this job, the subflow is not being triggered. What am I doing incorrectly?

@neil_b 

is your instance slow because sometimes schedule job takes time to run as system will pick it based on queue mechanism?

No, there's nothing else running on the instance. I did finally get it to work. 

This is my final code snippet -- I just needed to return the answer after the last curly bracket.

answer = false;
var gdt = new Date();
var day = gdt.getDay();
if(day != 0 && day != 2 && day != 3 && day != 5 && day != 6) {
answer = true;
}
answer;

runJob();
function runJob(){
		try {
		var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI
		.getRunner()
		.subflow('global.approval_reminder')
		.inBackground()
		.run();
	} catch (ex) {
		var message = ex.getMessage();
		gs.error(message);
	}
}

Your suggestion of the function helped. I will mark yours as the solution. Thanks!
