Date Time in 12-h format

if we pass datetime pattern to a selectinputdate control like:
<f:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MMM-yy HH:mm am"/>
it convert the date time as: "1-jan-2008 9:15 am15", that is appending minutes to the am/pm string...
Pls tell how to rectify this problem

Hi Frank,
It will be great pleasure to me to know the answer from you, whether the same "dd-MMM-yy HH:mm a" solution can be useful in format masking..
And one more question, can u tell me your success mantra, like i am an ardent fan of you.. I wanna become like you in the next 2 years.. Will it be possible for me and if so can u guide me how to master ADF?

Update date/time in UNIX timestamp format

The datetime in my Oracle DB is being stored in UNIX Date Time format.
Is there a way I can set the date/time using an UPDATE statement in such a case.
for eg:
select id, creation_date, expiration_date from skel;
id creation_date expiration_date
400019 1213726470
400020 1213733052
400005 1210867973
400018 1213723608
I am looking to set the expiration date as creation_date + 1 year.
Could you please advise?

I am looking to update the value in the field. The values will still be in UNIX date/time format.Yes, but still: instead of continuing converting to Oracle dates and Unix dates, why not just store dates the way the datebase can deal with it the best?
You're probably storing your UNIX date/time formatted dates in the database as NUMBERS.
That is a great loss of lots of built-in date functionality Oracle Database provides.
If you insist on staying on that road, then explore my previous links, you will find your answer:
Convert epoch number to date, do arithmatic and convert the result back to epoch number.
That is overkill.
It won't work/scale/perform/whatever in the end. It is a bad approach.
So, please reconsider this:
Why are you storing dates as numbers?
Convert those numbers to dates once, and be done with it for ever after and benefit from all the builtin date-functionality Oracle database comes with, or convince us that you really have a valid reason to store dates in UNIX date/time format into an Oracle Database.
and my last date was...uuhhmm... never mind ;)

For custom tables should we use UTC for date/time fields

A general question.
Can anyone confirm that SAP does seem to be moving towards storing date/time in UTC format?
We're building custom tables and we're making it a standard to store date/time fields in UTC format.
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hello Lavaughn,
I can not speak for SAP, but from my personal experience TimeStamps are the state of the art to store time date info in db tables. Even with date/Time fields a conversion to the local timezone is necessary. Of course you can reuse your db definition on dynpros. But since UI and business logic will be divided anyway this is also not really a valid point.

Date/Time erros when working with Database Connectivity toolkit

Hi!,
We are observing errors with date/time when working with LV. The error occurs when the system datetime format is set such that day precedes month (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy). Our VI uses LV 7.1, Database Connectivity 1.0 and SQL Server 2000 on a Win2000 machine.
Problem details
Our database in SQL server has a table having columns with data type "datetime"
If the system date format (as set in control panel) is "mm/dd/yyyy", the 'insert into database' vi works fine. This function inserts the date and time (among other things) into the above mentioned table.
However, when the system datetime is set to dd/mm/yyyy we start receiving error that date and time is beyond range for dates in which the date had the day field greater than 12 (e.g. 23/10/2005). With the same settings, if the date is such that day field is equal or less than 12 (e.g. 03/10/2005), we do not receive an error but the date is interpreted as 10 March 2005 rather than 03 September 2005.
Clearly LV (or is it SQL) is mistaking the day field as month.
We have taken care that when sending and receiving date, the format date and time string is set as per system settings.
Thus, if system setting is "dd/mm/yyyy" our format string is "%d/%m/%Y"
And if the setting is "mm/dd/yyyy" our format string is"%m/%d/%Y"
Any help on problem cause and cure is welcome.
Thanks,

Hi Xu,
You answer led me to some very interesting fact finding on how SQL server handles date and time. I have attached a zip file which contains webpages that throw more light on this issue.
The attached pages tell me that SQL has an inbuilt date/time reference format. The default in mm/dd/yyyy. Which explains why my VI worked when I used that format to write to SQL.
However there is a catch:
SQL expects the date/time to be in its inbuilt reference format when you WRITE data to SQL. If the date/time is in a different format, better tell SQL about it by using say the SET command you mentioned.
BUT what about the date/time format when you are reading data from SQL?
Our finding is that SQL sends date/time string in the system date format when you READ from SQL !!! That is very surprising behaviour (why differentiate between write and read?).
Is our finding correct?
So, we adopted the following simple strategy (yet to be fully tested):
1) Whenever we write date/time to SQL, the string is formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Presently, the user's SQL server is in the default state. Caveat is that if the user changes SQL date/time from default (which is mm/dd/yyyy) to anything else, our software will give errors. But then he changed it ;-)
2) When we read date/time from SQL we format the string as per system date/time format.
I know this is not very robust coding. But assuming the user keeps his SQL in the current setting, should we expect smooth working?
In other words, are there any errors and/or flaws in our strategy?
Thanks,
Gurdas

UTC Date Time and Normal Date Time

Hi All,
1. How UTC date time and Normal date time differs in siebel.
2. If legacy data needed to be loaded into siebel, in siebel few fields are date time and UTC date time fields. what would happen if we load both normal date time and UTC date time without considering them techinically?
3. UTC date time holds any specific format in physical database? If we want to load legacy data to UTC date time format what is the query to manipulate it?
Thankyou
Sean

Specifying date time format in Finder

How can I specify the date-time format in Finder for the "date-modified" and "date-created" columns in list view?
About three years ago, I got a command line instruction to set these formats and I kept it at mm/dd/yy
Then a couple days ago, I changed the date format in iStat menus and the date-time formats started acting weird. I want the dates to be like "07/08/05" (mm/dd/yy) and then the formats started changing to "November 07, 2008" (month/dd/yyyy). This change seemed to take effect any time I open the view options for a folder. Now I discovered that the date format change depending on the column width according to the format specified in system preferences, international, formats.
Narrow column, short date format; a little wider to long format, with ellipses if the column is not wide enough; then full format.
Does anyone know the command line to set the format to keep it to the one I want?

this doesn't seem to be it. however I now like the way Finder does display dates -- format gets more compact as the width of the column decreases; although there still is some excess space left on the left -- perhaps for AM & PM which I don't use; I use a 24 hour time format instead.
Happy New Year

How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'. How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system? Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

Hi,
There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
Just use this code in an UDF,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";

Convert Epoch Date Time to Date Time format

I am trying to convert Epoch Date time in GMT to Human Readable Date time format in UTC. I used the one below but it returns just the date in GMT but how can get datetime in UTC ?

Date/Time field format not wysiwyg

I have a date field in my form that I formatted as m/d/yyyy hh:mm. I thought that because it formats that field in that way my script would get passed down that way however it is not. I want to manipulate it so the value is in the format I want it to be....
I enter this in the date/time field: April 1, 2011 1:40PM
When I click out of the field and I see: 4/1/2011 13:40
Then I have a script that uses this field to make the file name but because I have a comma in there it will not save, if I take the comma out it will save. So the main question is how do I format my field to pass down the value that I am seeing not the value that I am typing in. You will notice I have a replace in there but I can't account for the comma because it reads it as part of the syntax.
// Get the field value
var dtentered = getField("datetime").value;
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = dtentered.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";

Thanks for the response...I'm not sure that I understand what you mean back-slash...I went ahead and did this but now it is giving me an odd file name
// Get the field value
var dt = getField("datetime").value;
var mydt = escape(dt);
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = mydt.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";
Returns a file name as
April_201_2C_202011_201_3A40PM.pdf

Problems converting FILETIME date/time into MM/DD/YYYY format...

Has anyone successfully converted a FILETIME date/time value into a MM/DD/YYYY format using ColdFusion? I am failing drastically, and it seems like an easy conversion.
FILETIME format (details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724284(v=vs.85).aspx) is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 (UTC).
A database I'm working with has such values, and I want to display them in a user-friendly date format within my application.
For example, one record is:
13003368600
The above number represents the following date and time:
1/22/2013 @ 2:50 PM
Sadly I know this only because the FILETIME value gets written to the database by a third-party application, and within that application I specify it in the MM/DD/YYYY format.
Can anyone offer me some guidance, or better yet has anyone accomplished this already and want to share code?

I did this, on cf9/linux, and it seemed to do the trick:
<cfscript>
Long = createObject("java","java.lang.Long");
Date = createObject("java","java.util.Date");
fileTimeToEpoch =
// take pwdLastSet From Active Directory, it's in filetime
pwdLastSet = JavaCast("long", Long.parseLong("130292682204519505"));
// take filetime and turn it into epoch/java - 1970/1/1
// http://www.silisoftware.com/tools/date.php - converted: jan 1, 1970 00:00 -00
javaTime = JavaCast("long", pwdLastSet - 116444736000000000);
// convert to milliseconds
javaTime = JavaCast("long", javaTime / 10000);
today = JavaCast("string", Date.init(javaTime));
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#pwdLastSet#">
<cfdump var="#javatime#">

Wrong DATE-TIME FORMAT among REPORTS NOTIFICATION EMAILs

Dear all,
I create a report request with url
https://ocixxxx2.oci.xxcl.net/reports/rwservlet?>destype=printer&desformat=PDF&server=rep_xxxxx2_orahome&userid=ixxxxxx/xxxxxxx@saas&notifysuccess=IASL&notifyfailure=IASL&report=R1000R13.rdf&jobname=R1000R13&desname=HPLaserJet4150PCL6
Email notification was generated with wrong date format .
It's expected to be in UK English but it shows encoded text , may be random. I route it to another email servers such that find the date time is in chinese characters . That caused problem on original email server in which was not supported
Could any expert please advice ?
Warmly

It's indeed an expected behavior.
When a Reports Server starts on a Windows machine, it likely detect the Windows Regional Settings in order to use it when needed later. This let the Reports Server communicate in the same format/way the Server machine uses. For example, if the System / Application Server administrator prefers to use the Windows (on which the Application Server is installed) with Chinese Regional Options, it is normal that the Reports Server send the Notification Email with a "Date/Time" Format matches the Windows.
Thence, you like to get English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email, it is required to change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English and restart the Reports Server and restart the corresponding compoent. This will let the Reports Server detect the change and will send the Notification Email(s) then with English/Western Date and Time formats.
If English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email but still have the Windows Regional Settings set to Chinese, you can implement it
that :-
1. Change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English.
2. Restart the Reports Server and restart others.
3. Change the Windows Regional Settings back from English to Chinese. .
With these 3 steps, the Reports Server will keep sending the Notification Emails with English/Western Date and Time format, and maintain original settings.
