What is the alternative to "getGlideObject()" for scoped custom applications?

[Navaneeth1]

I have a date validation business rule that uses the following script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
var workStartElem = current.planned_start_date;
var workEndElem = current.planned_end_date;
var workStartGDT = workStartElem.getGlideObject();
var workEndGDT = workEndElem.getGlideObject();

if (workStartGDT.after(workEndGDT)) {
gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("{0} must be after {1}", [ workEndElem.getLabel(), workStartElem.getLabel() ]));
current.setAbortAction(true);
return;
}

// The method of duration calculation is used instead of a condition (in the condition builder)
// to ensure we use the same method of comparison between client and server
var FIFTY_YEARS_MILLIS = 1576800000000; // 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 50
var duration = GlideDateTime.subtract(workStartGDT, workEndGDT).getNumericValue();
if (duration > FIFTY_YEARS_MILLIS) {
gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("{0} cannot be more than 50 years after {1}", [ workEndElem.getLabel(), workStartElem.getLabel() ]));
current.setAbortAction(true);
}
})(current, previous);​

This script is from a global business rule and it uses getGlideObject() in lines 4 and 5 which is not supported in my custom scoped application and is throwing an error stating:Function getGlideObject is not allowed in scope x_g_#####.

Can someone please provide an alternative to this?

Thank you in advance!

@Navaneeth1 

Can you try using GlideDateTime

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
    var workStartElem = current.planned_start_date;
    var workEndElem = current.planned_end_date;
    
    // Create GlideDateTime objects directly
    var workStartGDT = new GlideDateTime(workStartElem);
    var workEndGDT = new GlideDateTime(workEndElem);
    
    if (workStartGDT.after(workEndGDT)) {
        gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("{0} must be after {1}", [ workEndElem.getLabel(), workStartElem.getLabel() ]));
        current.setAbortAction(true);
        return;
    }
    
    // The method of duration calculation is used instead of a condition (in the condition builder)
    // to ensure we use the same method of comparison between client and server
    var FIFTY_YEARS_MILLIS = 1576800000000; // 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 50
    var duration = GlideDateTime.subtract(workStartGDT, workEndGDT).getNumericValue();
    
    if (duration > FIFTY_YEARS_MILLIS) {
        gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("{0} cannot be more than 50 years after {1}", [ workEndElem.getLabel(), workStartElem.getLabel() ]));
        current.setAbortAction(true);
    }
})(current, previous);

Hi @Navaneeth1 ,

You can use new GlideDateTime(<your Variable name>). I checked in my PDI this will work for you

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you
