[JatinSharma]

in a run script i  want a script which put a 2 second wait condition

[Shruti]

var startTime = new Date().getTime();
                var delay = 2000; // Delay of 2 seconds 
while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + delay) {
                    // Simulating the delay
                }

May I know why you want add wait duration here

Hi @JatinSharma,

You can use delay in your script in the following way:

var leCase = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_le_case');
leCase.get(current.hr_case);
if (leCase.state == 10) {
    // 2-second wait
    var start = new Date().getTime();
    var end = start;
    while (end < start + 2000) {
        end = new Date().getTime();
    }

    leCase.state = 200;
    leCase.update();
}

It is better to use Flow Designer as Flow has Wait for Condition to add instead of using in the script.

Inside the Run Script:

var leCase = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_le_case');
if (leCase.get(current.hr_case)) {
    if (leCase.state == 10) {
        var delayTime = new GlideDateTime();
        delayTime.addSeconds(2);  // 2-second delay

        gs.eventQueueScheduled(
            "custom.lecase.update", // Your custom event name
            leCase,                 // GlideRecord to attach to
            "", "",                 // Event parameters (optional)
            delayTime               // When to fire
        );
    }
}

• Go to: System Policy > Events > Event Registry

• Create new:

  • Name: custom.lecase.update

  • Table: sn_hr_le_case

  • Description: "Update LE case state after delay"

---

🔹 3. Create a Script Action

• Go to: System Policy > Events > Script Actions

• Create new:

  • Event name: custom.lecase.update

  • Script: (this runs after 2 seconds)

// Script Action for custom.lecase.update
current.state = 200;
current.update();
