Datetime formatting

Hello forum! I REALLY need some help formatting a DATE field correctly.
I am working with the newest Data Services release, which I believe is 4.0. The server is Windows 2008 R2 and my client is running Windows 7 Pro. My source database is Oracle, and the data type is TIMESTAMP(6). The target DB is SAP Hana with a data type of TIMESTAMP.
The actual data in the column I am working with contains dates in the form "02-APR-10 02.39.26.863348000 AM" and "30-JUN-10 01.52.58.424077000 PM" - verified by viewing the data in Textpad. Perhaps I am making this more complicated than need be but I have yet to figure out what format "mask" to specify in File Format Editor to correctly handle this data. The "AM" and "PM" values are throwing me off.
I appreciate any help determining the correct way to format this data so DS inserts TIMESTAMP values into Hana. Thank you!!

Digging a little deeper into this, I discovered that the data I am working with was spooled to a text file using Oracle SQL Developer. Running the exact same query on the same DB, Schema, and Table resulted in the data being spooled as mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss.ff6 (04/15/2010 13:36:24.723272 for example).
So, it seems I can get around the trailing AM/PM for now, but am still having trouble getting this revised format into a TIMESTAMP field in Hana. I appreciate any "best practices" regarding how to format this field for insertion to Hana.
Thanks!

Migration Issues from Informix to Oracle (datetime format)

Hello, i am performing a Migration from Informix to Oracle, drive by Migration Workbench, i have an error migrating data from datetime and date fields. I suppose its related by datetime and date format, cause the error tells "Incorrect day or month" when i am migrating data from informix. Targets Oracle database date format is DD/MM/YYYY and source`s Informix database date format like MM/DD/YYYY. Is there any way, in OMW, to specify the mask of datetime or date format to convert date strings from informix to oracle format? Or have i got migrate offline and modify control file to do that with sql*loader?
How can i do that?
Example, especify to_date('....', 'MM/DD/YYYY H24:MI:SS') format for migrating informix datetime fields to Oracle.

The problem i have is, several tables witch contains date and datetime fields, at the same table in informix, by migrating drive by omwb to oracle, the date format i receive from informix at reading is DD/MM/YYYY and datetime format receiving is HH24:MI:SS. Migrating date and datetime types from informix to date, both types to date in oracle, i get an error while matching DD = HH24, MM = MI and YYYY = SS where nls_date_format is DD/MM/YYYY and, the same error matching HH24 = DD, MI = MM and SS = YYYY when nls_date_format is HH24:MI:SS.
If i set nls_date_format as "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS" i get the same error, cause reading data from informix results in data format "DD/MM/YYYY" for date fields and "HH24:MI:SS" for datetime fields.
I have more than 200 tables in informix with this problem to migrate to oracle, i can solve by migrating offline, modifying datacontrol file to casting to_date format, but over 200 tables, 200 datacontrol files... is there any way for solving that by online migration in omwb?

Xsd datetime format

Hi, I'm using a javascript popup calendar on a web page which can return a timestamp in either of 3 formats (i can choose whichever):
dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
I want to convert this form value into the xsd datetime format yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.
How can I do this?
I have been using the following code, but this just deals with today's date. I need to alter it so that it can deal with the value from the popup calendar:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer( sdf.format(calendar.getTime()) );

There is no piece ion your code which would set any value.
Check the API for Calendar, it has many useful methods.

Need help in datetime format.

hi there,
currently, i have problem in converting datetime format into this pattern (yyyy-MM-dd).
I could able to convert it in JSTL which is
<c:set var="dates"><fmt:formatDate value="${now}" type="DATE" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/></c:set>
<sql:query var="countLeave"
     sql =" SELECT * FROM VCST_EMPLOYEE_LEAVE WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(leave_from AS FLOAT))AS DATETIME) = ? ">
          <sql:param value="${dates}"/>
     </sql:query>
From the JSTL code above i would like to convert in Java code. I have no idea on how to convert it especially not converting the datetime datatype from MSSQL into String format.
Is there any way of doing it. Thank you.

try this
// Format the current time.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter
= new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
java.util.Date currentTime_1 = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = formatter.format(currentTime_1);

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.

Trouble with SQL datetime format

I have written a VI to import a CSV file into a SQL data table but I
cannot get it to work when using a table with "datetime" data
format. It will import into a new table with undefined data
formats as "varchar" format but no luck when going into a table with the "datetime" data
format. I need the datetime format for date/time queries later.
I have attached a zip file of my VI and the CSV file. Is there a problem with my CSV format or I am I doing
something else wrong here?
Please help.
Thanks,
Greg

I have just tried to insert your data into a SQL Server (MSDE) database.
I found that the INSERT data didn't work. The TRUE for Create Table didn't seem to do any thing. So I created a table using labview like this
And this is its design.
I then run the vi again and it starts to work with no issues. So it looks like the Create Table?=TRUE for the INSERT doesn't seem to work on SQL Server. It looks like you need to create the table first.
Here is your data in the database
Let me know what you think

Datetime format - auto colon entering in the time

In Oracle 6i, the user could enter the date and time without entering a colon, and the colon would automatically populate. In Oracle 10g, this no longer is the case.
Example:
datetime format: MM/DD/RR HH24:MI
User enters: 11/01/07 1900
In 6i, it would put in the colon. In 10g, it responds with an error. If I use format MM/DD/YY HH24:MI, it puts in a colon, but saves the data as 11/01/0007 19:00.
Is there a workaround? I found a related document in Metalink (Customer Tar # (Mandatory for Customer Bugs):5711214.992 ), but the workaround did not work.

A format mask of MM/DD/YY HH24:MI is supposed to give you a year of 0007. RR is the one that has some built-in smarts: >50 gives you 19YY and <=50 gives you 20YY. The recommended format mask is to use four Y's: MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI You basically force the users to be specific.<BR>
If there was one lesson we should have all learned from the millennium bug, it was that a year should always be expressed in full. Am I right?<br>
Can you please try MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI and tell us what happens?

Need profile option for determining DateTime format in Oracle Forms

Hello All,
I also have requirement where I need to read the date format in which Oracle Forms displays date values.
As per updates to [this thread|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10285119] , I just need to read the profile option "ICX: Date format mask" ("ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK"), and reformat the date value to my required target format.
This is good for the date type of fields. But what about the profile option that determines "datetime" formats in Oracle Forms ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Are you linking the host script to fndcpesr? E.g.:
Host script defined with prog extension:
XXSCRIPT.prog
Move it to relevant dir:
$XX_TOP/bin
Create a soft link to fndcpesr
ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr XXSCRIPT

DateTime format comparison in OSB

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to compare two time-stamps coming in dateTime format. Do we have any out of the box Xquery functions that would help in this case? If no, then what would be the best way to achieve this? We are using OSB 11g
Any hints towards it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harsh
Edited by: HK^ on Jun 15, 2012 3:22 AM

Direct comparison does work. Put a xs:dateTime around your dates to be sure.
For ex.
xs:dateTime($var1) > xs:dateTime($var2)
or
xs:dateTime($body//*:DateA) > xs:dateTime($body/*:DateB)

Invalid datetime format with odbc connection (VBA, Excel)

Hello!
I try to use QueryTable to extract data from the oracle-db.
Source:
sConn = "ODBC;DSN=" + odbc_dns + ";"
Set oQt = tabelle.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=sConn, Destination:=tabelle.Range("a5"), sql:=sSql)
oQt.Refresh
As result I get this error message:

Is there any setting I need to do?

Any idea how to convert Date to date format given error?

Hi,
I'm guessing the problem is not with the format, but with the input date...
What content is coming in your EffectiveDate tag?
It should be something like this...
<EffectiveDate>2012-08-06T12:11:01Z</EffectiveDate>
If the date format is not in ISO 8601, the XPath function won't work...
Cheers,

Datetime format error FIM 2010 R2

Hi Experts,
I am getting employee EndDate in a file wtih format yyyymmdd like 20140314.
I am able to get the date in metaverse through 'HR File Inbound Rule' but error while exporting to
FIM MA.
After getting the error 'datetime format' error, I made the following rule but again the same error.
Left(EndDate,4)+"-"+Mid(EndDate,5,2)+"-"+Right(EndDate,2)+"00;00"=>employeeEndDate
Again the same error :(
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Mann

Hi Mann,
What you need to do is just flow Date onto FIM portal in correct format. I suppose the correct format would be which I also used to flow onto FIM Portal:
Use "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fff" .
I hope this will help you. If yes, Please mark as answer.
Thanks~ Giriraj Singh Bhamu
