Converting Unix Date in Query

Hello everybody, i connect with brio 8.5 to a SQL database and get the unixdate.Is there a function or anything to convert this to the normaldate?Or which formular can do this for me. Thank you inadvance.

Hi Maya
Date 2 = Date 1 + Number it works in BW,
say you have date 12/10/2007 then 12/10/2007 + 3 will give u 15/10/2007
I have done the same in routines and it worked there....just try to create a CKF and do this and let me know if it works in query as well..
Thanks

The format that you want to see the date displayed in. And (key point here) don't forget to call the setTimeZone method of the SimpleDateFormat object to see the date formatted as if it were in GMT.

How to convert string date to long (or Unix date)?

I'm having difficulty in converting a user supplied date in the format mm/dd/yyyy to a long format such as 1035462807000. Since it's being entered by the user I can't just use the current system date. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi man, tsith Gave a good beggining, why dont you try the next code
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateToUnix{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        getDateAsLong();
    public static void getDateAsLong(){
        String sStartDate = "12/01/2002";
        Date theDate;
        DateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat("MM/DD/yyyy" );
        try {
            theDate = sdf.parse( sStartDate );
        }catch(ParseException e ){
            theDate = new Date();
        System.out.println( "Converted Start Date:" + theDate.getTime());
}No mather how you get a Date object, the value you are looking for is a long, and you can get it from such object with the getTime() method.
Take a look at the Java API @ [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#getTime()]

Hi,
You can write UDFs in java in Graphical mapping to enhance your XI Graphical mapping functionality
The steps for doing it would be:
1. Click on Create New function Button found on Bottom left corner on your XI Mapping window.
2. Write your java code.
3. Run the Mapping Test as usual.
>>The module that is given here ...where and how it is used.
The adapters in the Adapter Framework convert XI messages to the protocols of connected external systems and the other way around. When doing so, some
functionality might need to be added specific to a situation which is possible with the use of custom modules.
Typical example would be validation of file content when using a File Adapter or modification of the message payload to a common content structure which is not supported by any of the standard SAP modules.
An Adapter module is developed as an Enterprise Java Bean and is called locally by the Adapter.
An example on modules :

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

VI to convert Unix time to standard time?

hi,
I am in need of a VI to convert Unix time to Standard time?
eg: Unix time: 1268845177 in seconds
Standard time: GMT: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:59:37 GMT
Your timezone(U.S):
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 10:59:37 AM
I have the calculation but not full formula.
Unix time is in seconds from Jan 1,1970, 00:00:00 UTC, starting at 0 counting forward.
When 1268845177/86400 = 14685 days.
86400 = 60*60*24 seconds
But how to convert the 14685 days and relate to the current date, how it should be done?
Either the formula or a VI to convert Unix time to standard time will be a help.

Arvinth

Timestamps and the PC clock vs. time on the net are different and I'd say somewhat unrelated concepts.
You are worried about accuracy of the current time. Timestamps have nothing to do with current time, but are a way of identifying and particular moment in time.
Yes, the PC clock gets its time from the net assuming the time server settings are all set properly. Even the correction of the current PC time may not happen exactly when the leap second gets inserted. It may be some time before the PC resynchronizes with the net time. The PC doesn't know if the existence of when a leap second will occur. And neither does the LabVIEW timestamp.
Here is an example. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second, a leap second will occur at the end of June 30 of this year UTC. Since my clock is eastern daylight time at that date, I put together an example for 8pm on June 30 (UTC +4). You'll see that the 3 values (a second before, the exact time, and a second after) show they are all 1 second apart. There is no extra second accounted for. So in real life the time a second after vs. a second before are actually 3 seconds apart, but LabVIEW only show 2 seconds. Feel free to play with the attached snippet for different timezones and daylight savings time and all of that.
I don't think you really have as big of a problem as you are trying to investigate here. If your timing needs are that critical where you need accuracy of the current time to better than a second, then you shouldn't be looking at LabVIEW timestamps, PC time clock, or internet time at all, but look at a high accuracy timing source perhaps based on a GPS clock.
Unless you have a particular test planned to run over the expected point of time where a leap second is inserted, then you shouldn't have to worry. Even if you do have a test run over the leap second, you probably don't need to worry either. If the test is based on a waveform datatype, then you have a T0 timestamp, and a dT that will keep track of all the individual data points accurately.

CONVERT INVERTED-DATE

Hi Experts,
                can anybody explain below example..
DATA: odate TYPE d VALUE '19955011',
           idate LIKE odate.
CONVERT DATE odate INTO INVERTED-DATE idate.
CONVERT INVERTED-DATE idate INTO DATE odate.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Convert date routine is mainly used in case you are querying date field in a currency table example TCURR.
Assume an internal table containing following dates:
18.3.2006
17.3.2006
19.3.2006.
If we sort the internal table by date ascending, then the sequence would be:
17.3.2006, 18.3.2006 and 19.3.2006.
Now in another internal table have another internal table with actual date and converted date. Convert the actual date into inverted date and populate into the second field.
Now if you give a sort ascending by the converted date field the sequence will be:
19.3.2006, 18.3.2006 and 17.3.2006. This means the latest(youngest) gets on top.
This will be very useful when querying currency table to find latest exchange rates / exchange rate between a given period.
TABLES: tcurr.
PARAMETERS: p_date LIKE sy-datum.
DATA: c_date LIKE sy-datum.
SELECT SINGLE ukurs INTO tcurr-ukurs FROM tcurr WHERE
                                          kurst = '1001' AND
                                          fcurr = 'DEM' AND
                                          tcurr = 'USD' AND
                                          gdatu = p_date.
WRITE:/ tcurr-ukurs.
CONVERT DATE p_date INTO INVERTED-DATE c_date.
SELECT SINGLE ukurs INTO tcurr-ukurs FROM tcurr WHERE
                                          kurst = '1001' AND
                                          fcurr = 'DEM' AND
                                          tcurr = 'USD' AND
                                          gdatu = c_date.
WRITE:/ tcurr-ukurs.
Put a breakpoint after convert statement and see for yourself.
Thanks and regards,

Converting OTF data from script to Spool Request

Hello,
Is there any way to convert OTF data into Spool Request.
Actual scenario is for the Order Acknowledgement form they have configured the output type for Print Medium and here the spool is generated through Close_Form . Based on the spool no they are converting the spool to PDF and then placing a copy in the Unix Directory.
They have also configured the form for Fax Medium , but here in the close_form they are getting the Fax number instead of spool number. As this way it just Fax the output to required destination , user require a copy of the output should be converted to PDF and then it has to be placed in Unix directory as it is happening for print medium.
The problem here in the close form for first case , i can see the spool id but in the second case that is not happening . So only OTF data is available with me. So is there any way where i can pass OTF data get spool id . So that if i have spool id rest will be taken care by my existing logic.
I Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Subash

Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI". Could not convert the data value due to reasons other than sign mismatch or overflow.
I only have this issue querying the Description Field.
I also found a hotfix KB: 887474 for this but it is for Windows 2003. SQL Server OS I have is Server 2008 R2. Is there a fix for 2008 R2?

How can I convert a .dat to a .zip on a Mac?

Hi -
I friend wanted me to update his company's website which runs on a MS Exchange Server/Sharepoint set up. He zipped all the html, jpeg, and assorted text files and attached that zip file to an email. When I received it on my Mac it had been converted to a ".dat" file. He tells me that this is the result of sending a zipped file over the MS Exchange Server mail system to a Mac. (Whatever happened to cross-platform?)
Is there a Mac utility I can use to convert this dat file back to a zip file that I then can open on my Mac?
TIA

How can i convert the date from M to MM ?

Dear Guru ,
I need to upload my list to SAP table , and in the list , we are using YYYY/M/D format ( Eg. 2010/5/20 , 2010/10/1 ) .
And now i want to convert all date format to YYYY/MM/DD , Is it possibile to do that ?
Here is my code , but it doesn't work . It returned "2009//3//5" format .
data: ld_date_int type datum.
data : test(10) type c.
test = '2009/3/5' .
ld_date_int = test .
WRITE : SY-SUBRC , LD_DATE_int .
Does SAP provide a standard function can convert the date format ?
Thanks .

ld_date_int = test .
ld_string = strlen( ld_date_int ).
CASE ld_string.
WHEN 10.
   WRITE : SY-SUBRC , LD_DATE_int.

How Can I use a Variable in Data Controls query. Frank Kindly check...

Hii,
I am using JDeveloper 11g ADF BC.
My Requirement is that I hv a login screen which is taken from [http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/simpleJSFDBlogin.zip].
I hv attached BC in this application. I want to use the login usercode in the next pages after login screen. Next screen contains 3 list items which will be populating based on the user. So I created <af:selectOneChoice> using the BC( Just drag & dropped the column into the page from the data controls). But in the data control i want to use this usercode for passing the condition. Now Data is coming without any condition.
So How can I use the usercode in the Data controls query.
When I tried to display the usercode in the next page it is showing by binding the value. its code is follows
<af:outputText value="#{backing_getUser.uid}"
The program for checking the username & Password is follows.

Hi,
I didn't look at the example, but if you want to secure your application then you should use container managed security. Read this .
Anyway, you could add this before return "good"; in your login_action()
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("username", user);Then, you can access this from anywhere in the application by using #{sessionScope.username}.
