Business rules to check current time is before 8:30am

[Jake36]

Hi guys, 

I'm currently writing a script to calculate delivery date for CR based on man days entered by users as the following:

Man day	Delivery Days
1 - 5	30
6 - 10	45
10 - 30	60
30 above	90

However I notice that there's a behavior that if the CR is approved before 8:30am, it will calculate current day as 1 day whereas it is suppose to start counting the next day as first day. Can anyone help with the scripting to check if the time is before 8:30am it will add 31 days instead of 30?

Thanks in advance!

Jake

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
var update = current.sys_updated_on.getDisplayValue(); 
var gd = new GlideDate();  
update  = gd.getByFormat('yyyy-MM-dd'); //Format
	
var gDateTime = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_updated_on.getDisplayValue());
var gTime = gDateTime.getTime();
var time = gTime.getByFormat('HH:mm:ss');

//var getDateTime = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_updated_on);
//var gDate = getDateTime.getDate();
//var date = gDate.getByFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');

var DateTime = update + ' ' + time;

var days = current.u_estimated_total_mandays;
var plus = '';
	// days less than 5 or equal 5
if(5 >= days){ 
  plus = 30; // add 30 Calendar days
	}
	
// days greater than 5 and days less than 10 or equal to 10
if(5 < days && days <= 10){ 
  plus = 45; // add 45 Calendar days
}
// days greater than 10 and days less than 30 or equal to 30
if(10 < days && days <= 30){ 
  plus = 60; // add 60 Calendar days
}
// days greater than 30
if(days > 30){ 
  plus = 90; // add 90 Calendar days	
}

var gdtDelivery = new GlideDateTime(DateTime);
gdtDelivery.addDays(plus);
current.u_delivery_date = gdtDelivery.getValue();
})(current, previous);

Hi,

Here is the script.

var currentDateTime = new GlideDateTime();

var nowTime = currentDateTime.getTime();

var nowTimeVal = notTime.getNumericValue();

var gTime = new GlideTime();

gTime.setValue('08:30:00');

var gTimeVal = gTime.getNumericValue();

if (nowTimeVal < gTimeVal)

  gs.print("Before 8:30");

else

 gs.print("after 8:30");

Hi Jake,

The issue with calculation before 8:30 AM is due to timezone difference. When you use GlideDateTime() to get current date it returns the date time value in GMT. It could be giving you last day's date before 8:30 AM. I assume you want to add the days to the current / that day's date to determine the delivery date. I don't understand the initial lines of code which are getting date and time separately to form a date.

If my assumption is correct, and you want to add days to current date based on the number of mandays selected, you could try the following script:

var days = current.u_estimated_total_mandays;
var plus = '';
	// days less than 5 or equal 5
if(5 >= days){ 
  plus = 30; // add 30 Calendar days
	}
	
// days greater than 5 and days less than 10 or equal to 10
if(5 < days && days <= 10){ 
  plus = 45; // add 45 Calendar days
}
// days greater than 10 and days less than 30 or equal to 30
if(10 < days && days <= 30){ 
  plus = 60; // add 60 Calendar days
}
// days greater than 30
if(days > 30){ 
  plus = 90; // add 90 Calendar days	
}

//This will get the date based on GMT Timezone
var gdtDelivery = new GlideDateTime();
gdtDelivery.addDays(plus);
//getLocalDate will get the date converted to local timezone
current.u_delivery_date = gdtDelivery.getLocalDate();

Give it a try and see how it goes.

Thanks,

Manish

Hi Manish,

Thanks a lot! The script is working great.

However one more thing is that the current.u_delivery_date is stamped to 8am fixed.

Is there any way I could have the calculation goes 30 days down to minute or seconds? 

For example:

Man days is entered at the time 01/01/19 15:30:00, the delivery date would be 30/01/19 15:30:00.
