Wait for condition in scheduled job script.

[Ajay37]

Hi,

I am using a schedule job, where I am querying the records from a table and doing some action for the retrieved records. Now I want to have delay between each record to get that action done (one after the other after few seconds). Could anybody has an idea?

Thanks

Abhijit already answered how to achieve with a coding solution, using gs.sleep()

do you need additional help?

Hi,

You can use gs.sleep(1000) // 1000 is time in ms.

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi @Abhijit ,

Thanks. Is it fine to use gs.sleep() in scheduled job? Can we get any challenges?

[Abhijit4]

Yes, it is absolutely fine to use gs.sleep() in scheduled job. However, it will not work in scoped application.

Let me know if you have any further queries.
