Variable Date no less than 5 business days

[booher04]

We have a need to require a requested_completion_date to be at least 5 business days, if you select a date less than 5 business days you get an error and it clears the field.  My question is do I have to write a script include with this or can I write an onChange client script to accomplish this?  The schedule we use is '8-8 weekdays excluding holidays'.

Added that script and script include... now it does nothing.  I dont get the alert at all.

Resolved:

onChange Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

// Call the GA function
var ga = new GlideAjax('u_userInfoAjax');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "getInfo");
ga.addParam('sysparm_date', g_form.getValue('requested_completion_date'));
ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){
if(answer == 'true'){
alert('Please select date after 5 business days');
g_form.clearValue('requested_completion_date');
}

});

}

Script Include:

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

getInfo: function(){

var dateSelected = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');

var nowDateTime = new GlideDateTime();

var days = 5;

//var dur = new GlideDuration(60*60*24*days*1000);
var dur = new GlideDuration(days*43200*1000);

// paste the sys_id of the 8*8 weekday schedule excluding holidays

var schedule = new GlideSchedule('2218ff1bdba8eb40fb6e753a8c96198d'); //8-8 weekdays excluding holidays

var finalTime = schedule.add(nowDateTime, dur,'');

var updatedGdt = new GlideDateTime(dateSelected);

var finalTimeGdt = new GlideDateTime(finalTime);

if(updatedGdt < finalTimeGdt){

return 'true';

}
return 'false';
},

type: 'u_userInfoAjax'

});

Hi,

I think you have taken 8-8 means 12 hours and hence

60*60*12 = 43200

Did you accidentally mark your own answer as correct as compared to the one which helped in scripting

Hi Ankur,

 I tried the proposed solution, But script include always return true only.

I observe date formate difference.

Could you please help me how to resolve this issue.

getInfo: function(){

var dateSelected = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');
var nowDateTime = new GlideDateTime();

var days = 5;

var dur = new GlideDuration(60*60*24*days*1000);
// paste the sys_id of the 8*5 weekday schedule excluding holidays and weekends 090eecae0a0a0b260077e1dfa71da828

var schedule = new GlideSchedule('090eecae0a0a0b260077e1dfa71da828');
var finalTim = schedule.add(nowDateTime, dur,'');
gs.info("check dates"+"---"+date2);

var updatedGdt = new GlideDateTime(dateSelected);
var finalTimeGdt = new GlideDateTime(finalTim);
gs.info("check dates"+'---==='+updatedGdt+'---'+dateSelected+"---=="+finalTimeGdt+"----"+finalTim(2));
if(dateSelected < finalTimeGdt){
return 'true';
}
return 'false';

}
