Geotagging / GPS Metadata Time Stamp Format

I have a photo/image taken on an iPhone. The GPS information in the Preview application (inspector menu) shows a Time Stamp of 11:10:56.63. Can anyone explain to me what the ".63" at the end of the time stamp format represents? Thank You.

An obvious decimal point after a number has been the standard format to display tenths, hundredths and thousandths for hundreds of years. It's ridiculous that it has to be 'proven' in a court of law and can't be taken at face value for what it obviously is to any educated person. Ask 1000 high school educated people what a decimal point looks like and what it means and I'm sure you'll get 1000 correct answers. One more reason for my extreme dislike of what lawyers have done, and are doing, to our society.

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 "";

Add time Stamp format in File Adapter

Is it possible to change Add Time Stamp format ??
If so please let me know the procedure to chnage it..
It is scenario with no mapping so i cant go either Dynamic configuration or Variable substitotion.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I think you need to assign it dynamically as you cannot change the format for Add TimeStamp

Excel time stamp format mismatch

Hello all,
I am writing time stamp into an excel file. Time stamp for time 2013 & 2012 appears different although format & method of writing is same in both the cases.
In the attached file below. When time stamp is 2012 then format of time stamp in excel file & in input is same but when time stamp is 2013 then format of time stamp what i am writing actually & what appears in excel file is different.
Dont know where exactly it is going wrong ?
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

Thats what my question is ?
Just to be absolutely certain I understand you: when you type a date in 2013 into an Excel sheet, it displays differently than when you type a date in 2012 into the same cell in the same Excel sheet. Is that correct? If you did this with two different files, try it with a single file.
If you see this behavior when you enter the text directly from the keyboard, why are you posting it in a LabVIEW forum? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with LabVIEW.
Why can't you upload your Excel files that demonstrate this behavior?

Error when add seconds to Time Stamp format

Hi,
I've created a subVI that transform an string data/time to Time stamp format.
The subVI seems that it works fine, but when I use the data 26/10/2014 and I add 1 day, it crashes! The result is 26/10/2014 23:00:00 instead of 27/10/2014 00:00:00.

Time Stamp Format

I'm trying to insert a record into a field that has a time stamp format. Can anyone help me?
Here's the SQL:
insert into database.table (field1, field 2, etc., LOADDATE)
values(field1, field 2, etc., 2002-09-13 00:00:00)
The error message returned is literal does not match format string.
I've tried multiple date formats without success.
Thanks

To clarify:
Table layout
FLD1 NUMBER
FLD2 VARCHAR2(10)
LOADDATE DATE
Trying to insert following data
FLD1 = 1
FLD2 = 'ONE'
LOADDATE = 2002-09-13 00:00:00
insert to your_table (FLD1, FLD2, LOADDATE)
VALUES ( 1, 'ONE', TO_DATE ('2002-09-13 00:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ) ;

Time Stamp format from file problem

Hey there,
I have a pretty peculiar problem. I'm working on two PCs right now, one is my private laptop running on Windows 8, and the other one the PC at my workplace, running on Windows XP, but on the same version of LabVIEW. I use this method to save the time and date to a tab delimited .txt file. Then later, with another VI, I read the date and time written to file to reconstruct the time stamp. I've noticed that dates written to file from my workplace differ from the dates written from my private PC: in Windows XP, there are "-" separating the day, month and year. In Windows 8, it's "/". There are other differences (see pictures). So naturally, when reading from file using my VI, I can only read on my private PC files (or at least dates) written on my private PC and vice versa, I can't read files written on my private PC on my workplace PC. Can anybody tell me why there's a difference in format, or how to write the date uniformly so I can read it on any PC, or how to read both formats?
So this is the method I use for writing the time and date (the subVI only inserts a certain number of TAB characters).
This is what it looks like on Windows 8
This is what it looks like on Windows XP
This is the VI (attached) I use to read the time stamps (the first row actually contains the time stamp in HH:MM: SS format for a whole bunch of measurements).
Have a nice day.

I would suggest using the ISO-8601 UTC format.
The only limitation is that the string value is in reference to GMT.
The conversion of the string back to a timestamp will present the date/time on your front panel indicator as local time.
https://lavag.org/topic/15034-timestamp-support-for-format-into-string-scan-variant-from-string-stri...
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Changing time stamp format in the file receiver adapter file name

Hi all,
How can we change the standard date time stamp from
filename_yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mil
to
filename_yymmdd_hhmmss
i.e., I want "underscores" instead of "hyphens" and also I do not want the MilliSeconds.
I read in the forums that I have to use the combination of variable substitution and mapping functions to do this, but not sure how exactly.
Can the experts help me with this please?
Many thanks.

Hello Ramesh,
     You can make this possible using runtime filename creation using UDF.
Please go though the below steps.
Message mapping:
Create an UDF and include the piece of code that captures the Filename and Timestamp from source side via ASMA.
Modify them according to our requirement by adding the <Timestamp> at the end of <filename> with _.
Map the UDF to any of the top level node so that the modified filename will be available for the target communication channel
UDF Code is:
try {
String filename    = "";
String timestamp = "";
DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","SourceFileTimestamp");
filename = conf1.get(key1);
timestamp = conf1.get(key2);
filename = filenametimestamp".xml";
filename = filename.replaceAll( "-" ,"_" );
conf1.put(key1,filename);
return filename;
catch(Exception e)
     String exception = e.toString();
      return exception;
Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute that are required to be captured during run time. In our case File Name and Source File Time Stamp are required to be checked
In the receiver communication channel Mention u2018 * u2018as File Name Scheme.
Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute u201CFile Nameu201D which will carry the modified value in the UDF .
i hope this will help you.

Time required in Unix time stamp format

Hello ,
I am new to java as I have recently started working on it.
My requirement is to get current system date in Unix format which is integer(32 bit value) .Is there any class in java which will allow me to do this operation.
Regards
Vijay

System.currentTimeMillis() returns a long (64bit integer) containing the number of milliseconds since Jan 01 1970. The UNIX time format is the number of seconds since Jan 01 1970, so all you need to do is get the time using System.currentTimeMillis(), divide by 1000, and cast it to an int (32 bit integer).

Change in time stamp format in receiver file name

Hi,
We have a scenario as AS2 - PI - FTP Server (AS/400). We want target file name as BMMDDHHSS where B is constant and
MM (month e.g., 01), DD (day e.g., 12), HH (hour e.g.,11), SS (seconds e.g., 12). Is there standard way of doing this, just by changing some configuration in receiver file adpter?
Please let me know, how could we do this using PI. If script is optional, keeping as back-up only.
How come, naming dynamic receiver file names are so difficult in PI. I have been trying to get the answers for our another requirement like to name receiver file as C1.YYMMDD.C2 in a file pass through scenario for more than a month.
It is just file through scenarios, so we can't use variable substitution as we are not going to read content/payload of file
Thanks in advance,

Hi Shabarish
Thanks for your reply. I have trying to make this UDF work since almost a month with no luck. Can you please check where am I doing wrong?
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = "C1." + a + ".C2";
conf.put(key, SourceFileName);
return " ";
In the above code, I am passing date as "a". And mapping CurrentDate (formatted) --> UDF --> Target root node.
I am getting the following error in SXMB_MONI:

BI: time Stamp format

Hi Experts ,
I have mapped the source Timestamp to 0RSTT_TIME. it is actually giving the value in the wrong format as shown below. It should be year,month and day respectively. KIndly advise where can we set the format change to laod it in the right format.
20,081,020,203,015.000
thanks & regards,
M.S

Hi,
0RSTT_DDATE - Its of 8 characters length.So it holds only yyyymmdd
0RSTT_DTIME - Its of 6 character length.So it contains hhmmss.
If you want format of yyyymmddhhmmss concatenate these two fields.

How to convert Time stamp format in CR

Dear all Expert,

Thank You.

Hi Alex,
If cdatetime won't work, try the following by creating a formula . Note : replace your time with database date field i.e. date_4.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Stringvar date4:=totext('24.03.2011 03:30:00');
Numbervar yr;
Numbervar mon;
Numbervar dt;
numbervar hh;
numbervar mm;
numbervar ss;
yr:=tonumber(mid(date4,7,4));
mon:=tonumber(mid(date4,4,2));
dt:=tonumber(left(date4,2));
hh:=tonumber(mid(date4,12,2));
mm:=tonumber(mid(date4,15,2));
ss:=tonumber(mid(date4,18,2));
cdatetime(yr,mon,dt,hh,mm,ss);
