How to run a Scheduled Job "daily" but exclude weekends

[carlav]

I need to create Scheduled Jobs following a script we created that initiates a Catalog Item, and the Scheduled Job needs to run daily and exclude weekends but I don't see how to select Daily excluding weekends. Any suggestions/direction would be appreciated!

Hi Carlav,

One of the way to achieve this using Glide Schedule. you can click the conditional and apply this script. 

example like below, 

checkSchedule();

function checkSchedule(){
var now = new GlideDateTime();
var insched = new GlideSchedule("123456"); //sysid of schedule
insched.setTimeZone('Europe/London');
if (insched.isInSchedule(now)){ 
return true; 
}
else{
return false;
}
}

Thanks

Check the conditional field and add following script

var result = true;

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var day  = gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime(); //The day of week value from 1 to 7. Monday equals 1, Sunday equals 7.

if(day==6||day==7)

result =false;

result ;​

Hi,

Set the Conditional Checkbox as true

In the condition field give this script

answer = checkCondition();

function checkCondition(){

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

// if the day of week is not 6 and not 7 it means it is weekday

if(gdt.getDayOfWeelLocalTime() != 6 && gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime() != 7)

return true;

else

return false;

}

Hi @carlav ,

In Scheduled Jobs please enable the Condition checkbox and paste the below code.

var answer = false;

var now = new GlideDateTime();

if(now.getDayOfWeekUTC() !=6 && now.getDayOfWeekUTC() !=7 )       // this scheduled job will run only on Weekdays

{

      answer = true;

}
