Getting bios date and time

Hi guys, I have a problem that i am trying to figure out. I was wondering if there was a way to get the actual bios time and date. What i am trying to do is write some code in my program to make a serial key valid for a certain amount of days. I just figured that if i just got the time directly from windows, that someone could just go and change their date and time to make the key always valid. I suppose it might be slighly more complex to change the bios data and time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Problem with getting current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date

I`d like to get current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date method getCurrentDate(), but it always return current date and 12:00:00. I also need to get the current time.

I think you should use java.sql.Timestamp domain.
(And set database type to TIME or DATETIME.)

What happened to the Get/Set Date and Time utilities from RT 7.1?

I'd like to use the Get/Set Date and Time utilities that were available in 7.1, but disappeared after that. I see that the 7.1 utilites call a dll that does not appear to be installed with LabVIEW RT 8 and later. What do I need to do to use the utilites from 7.1 that do not appear in later versions?

In Labview 8.2 and later there are two directories for vi.lib. settime.dll is located in National instruments\Labview 8.2\Targets\NI\RT\ vi.lib
This is the dll you want to use in order to call it use the same Vi as in 7.1 (RT set date and time.vi) and link it to the correct dll.

Get the date and time from iframe.

Hi,
Am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0., I have used the following iframe source which gets the date and time.

I need to get the date and time separately to perform some validation. How can i get it.

Prasad,
I don't understand your use case. The url you use is a json web service which returns it's result as either xml or json payload. Why do you pretty print this as a web page and try to get to the result this way?
Why don't you get the result directly using the json result or (AFAIK) the java script api which the service also provides. Check the documentation of the service.
From your description I understand that the user enters a time. You need to know if the time is before or after 2:30pm and have to set a 'shift' to A or B.
Where do I need a timeservice in this validation?
From what I see your approach won't work. As I still don't understand the use case I don't know how to help.

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.

Getting the date and time from NIST server

I need to be able to get the date and time in an app and cannot trust the device's clock since the user could change it. Has anyone got an example of how to access an Internet time server such as the NIST servers from AIR for iOS?

Can I get MJD (date and time) in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?

I need to time stamp my data before sending it to the file. I have been doing this with the standard calendar date and time but MJD is what we prefer to use. How can I get an MJD timestamp in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brad_Henry,
The Format Date/Time String will return the day of the year when the %j argument is used, as per this help document:
LabVIEW Help: Format Codes for the Time Format String
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/codes_for_time_format_str/
If you're looking for the actual MJD, I'm not aware of a built-in function that generates this so you'll probably need to create or find a function to calculate it manually. This should pretty basic arithmetic, and it looks like people have already made a few public examples, the first two search results here look to be just about what you need:

How to get the date and Time?

Hi,
I am using Jdev 11.1.2.0.
I had one database table. In that table one variable as bgnDtm and the datatype as oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp. In my Impl class I declare one variable as beginDate(DateType as oracle.jbo.domain.Date).
Now I am using the conversion as beginDate=(Date) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm ");.If I using this scenario I got the Type cast error. so how can I separate Date and Time value.
So how to do. Please provide some suggestions.
Regards,
Ragu.

you can get the time value either from oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp or from oracle.jbo.domain.Date
oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp timeStampDate = (oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm");
Time time;
        try {
            time = timeStampDate.timeValue();
            System.out.println(time);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        java.sql.Date sqlDate=timeStampDate.dateValue();
            oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate=new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
        Time timeValue = jboDate.timeValue();
        System.out.println(timeValue);Edited by: M.Jabr on Dec 23, 2011 1:55 PM

How to get server date and time using java code

Hi,
I'm new to java. I have one doubt about getting date and time of the server. can anyone give some sample code to get that.
thanks in regards
Gopi.

you need 2 things
1. something on the application server which exposes the servers time/date
2. something on the client which makes use of your time service
for instance, you could write a ServerTimeServlet that clients can call to get the time according to the server. or, if you've got a database in the server, often database software will provide a Time procedure or similar that does this, so you can use a simple SQL query to get the latest time

How to get exact date and time difference?

Hi,
When i am using the below sql statement:
SELECT (TO_DATE('7/27/2006 05:00:15 PM','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS PM') - to_Date('7/27/2006 8:30:13 AM','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM')) * 24 hours FROM DUAL;
the output is:
Hours
8.50055555555556
But Actually it is 8.30
So how can i get exact days and time difference between two dates in Oracle?
Thanks....

HT2473 How can I get the date and time back on the menu bar?

Several items disappeared from my menu bar for no reason known to me. I miss the date and time and want it back. Please . I have gone to System Preferences and clicked "date and Time" but it will not allow me to check anything on the page even though there is a box "Show date and time in Menu bar".
What should be my next move?

One more thing might help us
In the Finder > Date & Time Preferences > Take a Full ScreenShot of the entire display showing the "absence" of the check box (or whatever) to Show in Menu Bar
⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 3 ' > release all three
Use the camera tool > locate the screenshot in the Desktop (not sure whether it will say "Picture 1.png" or have a TimeDateStamp as a title.
