here you go

var gdt = new GlideDateTime ("2017-03-31 15:13:43");
var gdtsplit = gdt.getDisplayValue().split(' ')[1].split(':');
year = gdt.getYearUTC();
month = gdt.getMonthUTC();
day = gdt.getDayOfMonthUTC();
var hour = gdtsplit[0];
var minute = gdtsplit[1];

gs.print('year = '+ year);
gs.print('month = '+ month );
gs.print('day = '+ day );
gs.print('hour = '+ hour );
gs.print('minute = '+ minute );

Try with this 

gdt.getHourLocalTime()

That is strange. can it be because of timezone issue? but all the other values are coming correct.

Any other way can we get hour?

Hi @deepika46 

use getValue() instead getDisplayValue() , this will solve your requirement.  You will get correct hrs number. 

eg:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime ("2024-06-01 08:00:00");
var gdtsplit = gdt.getValue().split(' ')[1].split(':');
var hour = gdtsplit[0];
gs.print(hour)

Thanks,
