hi All,

I have a requirement to execute a scheduled job on last day of the month. But in the schedule of scheduled job if we select monthly it display's an option to select day of month.

If i select 31 then will the job execute on each month if the month has 30,28 days??

is there any way to check all the run times in servicenow ,similar to run times in oracle??

Correct. The system scheduler does not do "forecasting" as some do. It determines "what is next" as it runs. That way adjustments can be made without impacting the forecast (since there is none.)

If you would like to see a forecasted execution schedule included, I invite you to enter an enhancement request. Our developers are listening.

Let me know if that answered your question. If so, please mark it as correct so that others with the same question in the future can find it quickly and that it gets removed from the Unanswered list. Thank you

Short answer - yes. From the wiki page (section 3)

Creating a Scheduled Job - ServiceNow Wiki

Scheduling an event for the 29th or 30th is not recommended, because the scheduled job will not be executed in months (like February) which are shorter than those dates.
If an event is scheduled for the 31st, it will be executed on the last day of the month, even if the month is shorter. For example, something scheduled to run on the 31st of the month will run on February 28th or February 29th in a Leap Year.

You can see when the next scheduled job is from System Scheduler> Scheduled jobs

I don't know of a way to see the history unless your job logs something to the system log explicitly.

That will display only the next run but not all the scheduled runs
