tyk007 - It is sucessfully working with other computers but there are some computer having this problem.
altenbach - Please see attached file for actual VI. I assume that it will work on your pc.
After leaving Format unwired, the output is YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 PM.

  • Help! I cannot get to a website I was on 3 days ago, and the history button does not seem to take me to my browsing history. SO far I have gone back to Internet Explorere as the FF4 is too frustrating, but accessing my history is critical for contacts.

    In FF4 I cannot find where to access the history. I go to the red drop down box in the top of the left hand corner and there is a link to a history drop down, but then there will be nothing displayed- not for the day, or the week, or---. Where has the access to this information been moved? I am using Windows 7 .

    CTRL+H should give you your history unless you enabled "Clear Browsing History" in Options | Options | Privacy.

  • [ASK] How to get system date and substring / concate in data manager dynami

    How to get system date year and do the substring / concate ?
    So dimension category source will be PLAN_<YYYY>, destination = FORECAST_<YYYY>
    Dimension source = <YYYY>.JAN,<YYYY>.FEB,<YYYY>.MAR,<YYYY>.APR,<YYYY>.MAY,<YYYY>.JUN,<YYYY>.JUL,<YYYY>.AUG,<YYYY>.SEP,<YYYY>.OCT,<YYYY>.NOV,<YYYY>.DEC
    Depend on year system date.
    Thank you.

    Stuart,How are you storing OnSaleDate. If you are using OnSaleDate as an attribute dimension then you can write a Custom Defined Function to either:1- query your system for the current date and return the number of seconds that have elapsed since 1/1/1970. This is by definition the begining of the Epoch and how Essbase treats Attribute Dimensions of the Date type.public static long getDateInSeconds() {           Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();           return cal.getTime().getTime()/1000;}2- Write a Custom Defined Function that will accept the OnSaleDate and return the number of days sincepublic static double daysSince(double myDate) {     return (getDateInSeconds()-myDate )/86400;}

  • How to get system date and time?

    Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
    Thanks!

    there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
    you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
    int hour, minute, second;
    i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
    Calendar time;
    int hour, minute, second;
    Thread thread = null;
    public MyTime() {
    hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
    if(thread == null) {
    thread = new Thread(this);
    thread.start();
    public void run() {
    Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
    while(thread == t) {
    thread.sleep(1000);
    second++;
    if(second > 59)
    minute++;
    if(minute>59)
    hour++;
    formatTime();
    public void formatTime() {
    second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
    minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
    hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
    System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new MyTime();
    I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

  • Get system date

    Hi
    Can I get system date directly by programming.
    I know the method of getting day, month and year by using calender class and then getting the system date by concatenating these three values.Except for this is there any direct method for getting system date.
    Please anyone answer to this asap.

    The question doesn't make any sense.
    The system date is that time for which the Calendar object is giving you individual fields. So you are already getting the system date.
    Are you asking how to get a single formatted string holding the system date?
    Or how to get the date as the number of seconds or milliseconds since 1969?

  • Application exe file cannot get FieldPoint data

    I built an application exe file from my development notebook computer (Win XP) that have LV7.1 and Max 3.1. The stand alone exe file runs well in the same notebook. But it could not get any FP data when it is running from a target computer (Win 2000). I found that Max was version 3.0 (FP version 4.0) in the target computer. The development notebook has MAX 3.1 (FP version 4.1). Is this the reason I cannot get FP data (temperature and other paramenters)?

    The version difference is probably one of the problems. A second problem may be that the resource/device/item names that are configured in MAX, and/or the IAK file name may be different on the second machine so the EXE may be trying to access a non-existant item.

  • Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

    created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read.  I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd.  Any suggestions.  I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

    There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video.  I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player.  The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.   
    I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project.  But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu? 
    When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options.  It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.).  You need software that will made a DVD-V disc.  Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn.

  • I have an apple iPad(the new one(3)).I cannot get it to sync spreadsheets  with my other ipad(2), on the numbers application.What am I doing wrong?

    I have a third generation iipad and a 2nd generation iPad.Both wifi only.I cannot get these two machines to sync spreadsheets  to each other using the numbers application and iCloud .What am I doing wrong?

    no they are already in mp3 format I just tried that home sharing today because I couldnt find any other reason why they werent syncing. here is an example of a sync I just tried. I made an mp4 concert into an mp3 it came out perfect on my computer.. then I tried to sync it to my ipad with no luck, other than it going on my computer, it did not show up anywhere on my ipad in any area of the music sections etc playlists, songs, albums etc. Its just not there but remains on my computer. thats why I tried the home share today to see if that would help. Either I am really missing something or there is something wrong with this ipad. Did you ever have any trouble like this, does anyone? and what is something good to try? thank you again for answering! I appreciate it.

  • I cannot get to or use my home pc for a while and am staying with a friend for the foreseeable and am using their pc to write this. How do I access my itunes account on their pc. Thanks Karen

    I cannot get to or use my home pc for some time and am staying at a firends and using their pc to write this. I need to access my itunes account and music on their pc. How do I do this. Thanks

    An easy route would be to use the iTunes Match service such that all your Songs are available anywhere over the internet via iCloud.  Once complete you can create an account on your friends PC, download iTunes and sign-in to the iTunes Store with your Apple Id, start iTunes Match and it will provide access to all your Songs.
    Not quite so good, is simply to follow the steps on your friends PC as above, however, instead of iTunes Match simply access the 'purchased' songs area from the iTunes Store home page that will give you access to all your purchases without iTunes Match.
    IMPORTANT:  Apple only like to see a single Apple Id associated with one device - so if your friend already has an active Apple Id account on the PC, it would be wise to use an alternate machine.  Apple has a 90 day lock out associated with switching Apple Ids on a common device.

  • I have a question mark in the place of my mail's icon and i cannot get into my email. I found my email folder in the library ,but it is not in applications. How do i get my email back ?

    have a question mark in the place of my mail's icon and i cannot get into my email. I found my email folder in the library ,but it is not in applications. How do i get my email back ?

    you should look in your applications folder to see if mail is still there. the dock icon is pointing to mail being in your applications folder. it has probably been moved or deleted for some reason from the app folder. do a spotlight search for your mail program. if it is still on your computer, move it back to the applications folder and when you click the question mark, it should see it is back and open. The email folder in your library shouldn't have to be touched. you need mail.app itself.
