Make date/time value in format to MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss and add 14 days

[Suz Roque]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a scheduled job that will update all tasks without due date on cert_follow_task table and make it to 14days from the date of run of the job, but i have stumbled into an issue where the format is returning as yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss i need it to be on format  MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss and use the addDays to add 14 days and update the due date, i have been trying to run it but unsuccessful, can anyone help me please??

var task = new GlideRecord('cert_follow_on_task');
task.addEncodedQuery('due_dateISEMPTY^active=true^stateNOT IN3,4,7^state=2^assigned_to=NULL');
task.query();
if (task.hasNext()) {
while (task.next()) {

var nd = new GlideDate();
var date = nd.getByFormat('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss');

var fd = new GlideDate();
var date2 = fd.getByFormat('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss');
date2.addDays(14);
task.due_date = date2;
task.update();

}
}

Hi @Suz Roque ,

Below is the updated code you can give a try :

var task = new GlideRecord('cert_follow_on_task');
task.addEncodedQuery('due_dateISEMPTY^active=true^stateNOT IN3,4,7^state=2^assigned_to=NULL');
task.query();
while (task.next()) {
    var date = new GlideDateTime();
    date.addDays(14);
    task.due_date = date.getDateFormatted('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss');
    task.update();
}

Regards,

Shravan.

Hi Suz,

the following works for me:

var task = new GlideRecord('cert_follow_on_task');
//task.addEncodedQuery('due_dateISEMPTY^active=true^stateNOT IN3,4,7^state=2^assigned_to=NULL');
task.query();
while (task.next()) {
    var date = new GlideDateTime();
    date.addDays(14);
//    task.due_date = date.getDateFormatted('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss');
    task.due_date = date;

//    task.update();
    gs.info("New due_date = " + task.due_date + ".");
}

I commented out the encodedQuery as non of the records in my instance match. And I commented ou the task.update() as I don't want to update that field in my instance. seems 'getDateFormatted()' is not a valid function.
