Hello @Asha Pathak 

1. Navigate to the Scheduled Jobs Module

First, go to System Definition > Scheduled Jobs.

2. Create New Scheduled Job

Click on “New” to create a new job. Click on “Advanced” to open the advanced view where you can write a script.

3. Configure Your Scheduled Job

Under the “When to run” tab, you might choose “Run” as “Periodically” and then set it up to run monthly. Depending on your requirements, you might be precise with the day and time, depending on when you expect the least impact on users or system performance.

4. Script the Logic

// Calculate the date 30 days from now
    var thirtyDaysFromNow = gs.daysAgo(-30);
    
    // Query for articles with ‘valid_to’ date within the next 30 days
    var kbArticle = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');
    kbArticle.addQuery('valid_to', '<=', thirtyDaysFromNow);
    kbArticle.query();
    
    while (kbArticle.next()) {
        // For each article, calculate the new ‘valid_to’ date, 45 days from the current ‘valid_to’ date
        var validToDate = kbArticle.getValue('valid_to');
        var newValidToDate = new GlideDateTime(validToDate); // Create GlideDateTime instance with current ‘valid to’ date
        newValidToDate.addDays(45); // Add 45 days to it
        
        // Update the ‘valid_to’ field with the new date
        kbArticle.setValue('valid_to', newValidToDate);
        kbArticle.update();
        
        gs.info("Extended 'valid_to' date for article: " + kbArticle.getDisplayValue('number') + " to " + newValidToDate.getByFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"));
    }
