UI Action button to run a Scheduled Job?

[Jeanne2]

I have a Scheduled Job, that is executed via a Scheduled Script execution.  I would like to provide this functionality On Demand to certain personnel, without exposing the script to them.

Is it possible to have a UI Action in a content block on a page (home page or UI page) that can run this script onclick?

I currently have a UI page with a function in the Client script as follows:

function runscript() {
     var scheduleReport = new GlideRecord("sysauto_script");
     scheduleReport.get('0121c1733cc03010a2f3714242bc086c'); //Sys_id of the Scheduled job
     SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow(scheduleReport);
}

But I am getting an error of SncTriggerSynchronizer is not defined.

If I plug the exact code from the Scheduled Script into a Module - Script from Arguments, it will run fine, but returns to the Background Script screen, which is not the experience I want my users to have.

Thanks, in advance, for any help!

Hi Jeanne,

Could you please share the script?

Thank you!

I created a UI Page that only has a button.  The page is accessed as a Module from the filter navigator. The UI page has the following code in the HTML section:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding=utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:ui_form>
     <table class=wide">
          <tr>
               <td nowrap="true">
                    <g:dialog_button id="ok_button" type="submit" style_class="btn btn-primary">${gs.getMessage('Generate Report and Send Notifications')} </g:dialog_button>
               </td>
          </tr>
     </table>
     <input type="hidden" id="btn_clicked" name="btn_clicked" value="OK"></input>
</g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

And in the Processing Script section has the following code:

var scheduleReport = new GlideRecord("sysauto_report");
scheduleReport.get('0121c1733cc03010a2f3714242bc086c'); //sys_id of the Open Training Tickets report
var recipients = [];  //array for managers of users with open training tickets
var tablename = scheduleReport.report.table;
var lookup = scheduleReport.report.filter;

var gr = new GlideRecord(tablename);
gr.addEncodedQuery(lookup);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()) {
     recipients.push(gr.assigned_to.manager.toString());
}

var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var finalRecipients = arrayUtil.unique(recipients);
scheduleReport.user_list = finalRecipients.join(','); //get unique recipients
scheduleReport.update();
SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow(scheduleReport);  //execute schedule report
gs.addInfoMessage('Report has been generated and email notifications sent.');
