Issue with Scheduled Exports

We had a scheduled Export export which used to export all the incident table data daily at 6.00 am

so I have unchecked "Appended Timestamp"  so every time new data will replace in the MID Server..

For first time export all the records, but from second time only new records need to export...so this I can do by taking records which are updated last 24hrs...but here my issue is for saturday and sundays records...because in those two days the end users will not take data from the mid server..

so can any one suggest some alternative for this?

@Sathwik 

Yes if they don't pick it up then they will miss as the file doesn't have timestamp and it will get overridden.

So now you have 3 approaches here

1) Inform them to pick the files on Saturday and Sunday as that is by their requirement that they required daily files to be pushed for records updated in last 24hrs

OR

2) Append timestamp so that file doesn't get overridden

OR

3) Approach 3

a) Don't run your existing Scheduled Data Export on Saturday and Sunday using the Condition script

b) Create fresh Scheduled Data Export and make it run Daily; This would only run on Saturday.

Create fresh export Target for this and create Folder for Saturday Export and give that path

You can handle this via Condition Script.

c) Create fresh Scheduled Data Export and make it run Daily; This would only run on Sunday.

Create fresh export Target for this and create Folder for Sunday Export and give that path

You can handle this via Condition Script.

Easiest approach is 1st or 2nd But check with your client and business team on this

NO @Ankur Bawiskar 

later the requirement was changed..it needs to run only from Monday to Friday..

so I added the weekends script...but it didn't stopped today..

script used below...please help

answer = checkCondition();
function checkCondition(){

var d = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = d.getDay();

// exclude weekends
if(dayOfWeek != 6 && dayOfWeek != 7){

return true;

}

return false;

}

help

Hi Ankur Can you please help me on this Ankur?

Hi,

that should have worked

can you use this

answer = checkCondition();
function checkCondition(){

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var dayOfWeek = gdt.getDayOfMonthLocalTime()();

// exclude weekends
if(dayOfWeek != 6 && dayOfWeek != 7){
return true;
}
return false;

}
