how to run "Update Resource Capacity" UI action from backgroud script

[DhathriC]

I want to run "Update Resource Capacity" UI action from background script. I will be passing user id, start date as current date, end date as current date+18 months.

something like this

var userSysId = 'YOUR_USER_SYS_ID'; // Replace with actual user sys_id
var startDate = new GlideDateTime(); // Today
var endDate = new GlideDateTime();
endDate.addMonthsLocalTime(18);

var CapacityGenerationAPI = new CapacityGenerationAPI();

// Method 1: Update single user (recommended)
CapacityGenerationAPI.updateCapacityAndAvailabilityForUsers([userSysId], startDate, endDate);

gs.info('Resource capacity updated for user: ' + userSysId + ' from ' + startDate + ' to ' + endDate);

This script works , it runs only for resource managers.

When I click "Update Resource Capacity" from UI action. It creates data in "Resource aggregate weekly" and "Resource Aggregate Monthly" tables. when I run the background script I'm not seeing data in these tables. I want to replicate exact steps what is done in the UI action

that UI action calls UI page and a script include via GlideAjax

you need to understand what's being passed etc and how
