Need to run a schedule job for only on weekdays but without a code change on production

[ShubhankarK9612]

Hi All,

I need to modify an existing schedule job for email notifications to run only on weekdays but without a code change on production. And would business calendar help in achieving this in any way? Please see the attached screenshot.

Hi @ShubhankarK9612 ,

why don't you use Run as weekly and check Monday to Friday - this should work

Hi @nayanmule ,

Seems available from Zurich release, you don't want to disturb the code, you can explore Business Calendar(until you upgrade to Zurich or Higher version) - may be for few Months
1)Create Business Calendar - Weekdays

2)Add entries for each week (Monday to Friday) for next few months

3)Use that business Calendar

** This hasn't tested, please set up and verify before you move this to Production**

Hi Hemanth, 

Thanks. As you mentioned I created one weekday business schedule chose 2025 week 52 and start date is 22nd and end date is 24th Dec for testing. And now when I execute the schedule Job it starts triggering notifications. Is there any way I can test this without waiting weekends.

Hi @ShubhankarK9612 ,

I don't think so. The earliest you test is tomorrow, since it's the weekend

Thank you  @ShubhankarK9612 

If this wouldn't work, the only way out is conditional run using script! - in here ideally your not touching the existing script but adding conditional logic which is completely ok!

Hello @ShubhankarK9612  , Ignore my last response. 

You can bring that field on the form by using form layout. The field is available - "Run Days of Week".

If my response has helped you, mark it as helpful and close the thread.
