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

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

Hello @ShubhankarK9612  ,

There's no real way for you to schedule this script on weekdays without changing the code. You need to add the condition by clicking the conditional checkbox. 

You can add a below script -

(function() {
    var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

    // Get the day of the week (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)
    var day = gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime();

    // Check if today is Saturday (6) or Sunday (7)
    if (day == 6 || day == 7) {
        return false; // Do not run the job on weekends
    } else {
        return true; // Run the job on weekdays
    }
})();

If the script returns true, the job will run , if false the rob will not execute.

If my response has helped you, kindly mark it as helpful and accept the solution.

Regards,

If you are on Zurich then you can do this with simple config

Zurich's new run types for scheduled jobs 

If not on Zurich then you need to add script in condition field of your scheduled job

answer = checkCondition();

function checkCondition() {

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

    // day is not saturday and not sunday
    if (dayOfWeek != 6 && dayOfWeek != 7)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
