AddWorkingSeconds
Returns the UTC date and time of the second that is the number of working seconds specified earlier than or later than the specified date and time. The application uses the HOP schedule to define the working seconds. See Setting Up Hours of Operation.
If the value of the durationInSeconds parameter is negative, the function returns a DateTime value that is the number of working seconds specified before the value of the hopStartDateTime parameter.
Syntax
AddWorkingSeconds(hopIdOrName, durationInSeconds, hopStartDateTime)

Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| hopIdOrName |
The hours of operation schedule name (for example, 24x7 or 9 to 5) that determines the working and non-working schedule. |
| durationInSeconds |
(Optional) The interval in seconds. If this parameter is not used, it defaults to 0, which means that it returns the very first second of the next work period (operating interval). You can use basic math operations to calculate the seconds or you can use an expression. |
| hopStartDateTime |
(Optional) The base date and time for the function. If not specified, uses the default date which is the current date and time. |
Returns Value
DateTime value in UTC time.
If the application has to display the return value, it implicitly converts it to text, thereby allowing the display format to change depending on your culture code. See Available Languages and Cultures for a list of the culture codes used by Neurons for ITSM.
Example
$(AddWorkingSeconds("24 x 7", 4))
If today is April 10, 2014 at 07:30:32 AM, this function returns the DateTime value for the time that is 4 working seconds past April 10, 2014 at 07:30:32 AM. In this case, it returns April 10, 2014 at 07:30:36 AM, assuming that there are no exceptions defined during that time in the HOP schedule.
