How can we run the Schedule job in a specific schedule

@RamyaKrishT 

you cannot.

Example: You configured job to run periodically every 1 hour and your schedule is 8am to 5pm, to control schedule job runs only at that time and not at 6pm you can use Conditional script and see if the current date/time falls in schedule or not, if yes then allow job to run.

Schedule table  - cmn_schedule

You can use a flow and create a custom 'check if in schedule' action. Input as the date to check (current time?) and the schedule you need to check. Then you can use this script as the script step and create a 'true/false' output to let the flow know if you are within the schedule (and if not, don't do whatever it is you want it to do):

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {

  var dt = new GlideDateTime(inputs.dateTime); // get as input from flow, like 'sys_created_on' or whatever you need
  var sched = new GlideSchedule(inputs.schedule.sys_id); // select the schedule you want to check

  if (sched.isInSchedule(dt)){
    outputs.is_in_schedule = true;
  }
  else{
    outputs.is_in_schedule = false;
  }

})(inputs, outputs);

You can also do the same by using a flow variable, but this action makes it reusable in every flow.

I have created this schedule job to daily activate catalog link at 5pm EST and deactivate link at 8am EST. Please mark helpful if found useful.

//code to deactivate link
var item = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');
if (item.get('88f0cc381bf0de50254e54ea234bcbc9')) {  // Replace with actual sys_id
    item.active = false;
    item.update();
}
gs.info("Form deactivated at 8 AM EST. Will re-open at 5 PM EST");

var item2 = new GlideRecord('sp_rectangle_menu_item');
if
	(item2.get('5a293bb887fc96901137fc88cebb35f4')) { // Replace with actual sys_id
    item2.active = false;
    item2.update();
}

//code to activate link

var item = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');
if (item.get('88f0cc381bf0de50254e54ea234bcbc9')) {  // Replace with actual sys_id
    item.active = true;
    item.update();
}
gs.info("Form activated at 5 PM EST. Will close at 8 AM EST");

var item2 = new GlideRecord('sp_rectangle_menu_item');
if
	(item2.get('5a293bb887fc96901137fc88cebb35f4')) { // Replace with actual sys_id
    item2.active = true;
    item2.update();
}
