I have to send birthday notification to employee.

Hi,

I have to send birthday notification to employee. I have written schedule job script and date of birth is type as date field. I have tested that script and I'm able to get birthday, birthday day, birthday month value, it seems it is having issue while checking if condition.

Please find below script and correct that :

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

//gr.addActiveQuery();

gr.addQuery("active=true^u_sf_date_of_birthISNOTEMPTY");

gr.query();

gs.log('success query');

var c = 0;

while (gr.next()) {

gs.log('success loop');

var bdate = gr.u_sf_date_of_birth.toString();

gs.log('birthday is' + bdate);

var to_date = new GlideDateTime();//current day's date

gs.log('today date is' + to_date);

var bday = bdate.split("-")[2]; //birthday date

gs.log('birthday day is' + bday);

var bmonth = bdate.split("-")[1]; //birthday month

gs.log('birthday month is' + bmonth);

if(to_date.getMonth().toString() == bmonth && to_date.getDayOfMonth().toString() == bday){

c++;

gs.log('count is here' + c);

gs.log("Hi, it's the user's birthday!");

gs.eventQueue("birthday.notification",gr,gr.name.toString(),gr.email.toString());

}

Please help me to correct that.

Regards,

@niveditakumari

to verify this in HR scope.

Create fix script in HR Core scope and see if the script works

Also don't use gs.log(), it won't work in scoped app, use gs.info()

var gr = new GlideRecord("sn_hr_core_profile");
gr.addQuery("user.active=true^date_of_birthISNOTEMPTY");
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
    var bdate = gr.date_of_birth.toString();
    var to_date = new GlideDateTime(); // current day's date
    var bday = bdate.split("-")[2]; // birthday date
    var bmonth = bdate.split("-")[1]; // birthday month

    gs.info('birthday is' + bdate);
    gs.info('today date is' + to_date);
    gs.info('birthday day is' + bday);
    gs.info('birthday month is' + bmonth);

    // Adjust month comparison to account for zero-based index
    if ((to_date.getMonthLocalTime()) == parseInt(bmonth) && to_date.getDayOfMonthLocalTime() == bday) {
        c++;
        gs.info('count is here' + c);
        gs.info("Hi, it's the user's birthday! for " + gr.user.name);
        gs.eventQueue("sn_hr_core.birthday.notification", gr, gr.user.name.toString(), gr.user.email.toString());
    }
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hello @niveditakumari , You can compare with help of GlideDate API too, but why don't you write an encoded query and do this easily like below:

var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

grUser.addEncodedQuery('active=true^u_sf_date_of_birthONToday@javascript&colon;gs.beginningOfToday()@javascript&colon;gs.endOfToday()');

grUser.query();

while(grUser.next()){

gs.log("Hi, it's the user's birthday!:" + grUser.name);

gs.eventQueue("birthday.notification",grUser.name.toString(),grUser.email.toString());

}

Hello @niveditakumari , I did a quick test in my PDI and can see users, whose b'day is today, printed fine. PFA screenshots. not sure whether i'm missing something unknowingly.
