Getting Current Date on Endeca Pipeline

Hi,
I would like to compare the a some other date(which is property) with the current date like
<EXPRESSION LABEL="" NAME="IF" TYPE="VOID" URL="">
<EXPRESSION LABEL="" NAME="MATH" TYPE="INTEGER" URL="">
<EXPRNODE NAME="TYPE" VALUE="STRING"/>
<EXPRNODE NAME="OPERATOR" VALUE="EQUAL"/>
<EXPRESSION LABEL="" NAME="IDENTITY" TYPE="PROPERTY" URL="">
<EXPRNODE NAME="PROP_NAME" VALUE="*SomeOtherDate*"/>
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION LABEL="" NAME="CONST" TYPE="STRING" URL="">
<EXPRNODE NAME="VALUE" VALUE="*CurrentDate*"/>
</EXPRESSION>
</EXPRESSION>
How do I get or refer the current system date on pipeline.
And also need info on how to compare the dates.
Thanks,
Bharath

I'd do this upstream of Endeca (in your data extract process), or if that isn't an option then use a perl manipulator: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28912_01/DeveloperStudio.612/pdf/ForgeAPIGuidePerl.pdf .
In terms of comparison, a handy method is to format dates as YYYYMMDD - you can then use X > Y, X < Y, sort them in ascending/descending, etc.

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.)

How does BR get current date, user, and associate member with Attribute Dim

I need use Business rules or Calc script to implement following functions:
1. Get current date and the name of user who is running the BR and save the information to cube.
I don't find any functions to get current date and users.
Also, since text and date is store in relational database and essbase cube only stores the index, it looks that the value can't be changed or stored by using "==" directly, is there any function to change value of members with Text or Date types in BR/Calc script?
2. End users select attribute value (via smart list) of products or projects(Sparse dimensions) in data form, run BR to update the association of these members with attribute dimension.
I don't find any functions to change the attribute association in BR/Calc, is there any CDF (Custom Defined Function) that can do it?
Thanks!

Hi,
For the date functionality, check out the post below.
Re: Days behaviour between two dates
As for the username, there is a little tricky way that requires an unused or a new dimension along with a smart list of user names. It's also possible to capture the user name from the cookies and pass it on to the form. The latter is possible through validatedata.js however requires hefty coding here and there.
As for the attributes, it's not possible to update metadata through business rule. So no luck in there.
Cheers,
Alp

To get current data block name

Hi;
I have 2 data blocks on my form and I want to get current data block name on my form. How can I do this???
Thank you

Like Rosario said, use the :SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK.
you can also use :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK in triggers to find which block was responsible of the firing event of a trigger.
Do not use :SYSTEM.CURRENT_% variables in Forms 9i and above, those are only there for compatibility reasons.
You can also check the online help for more details on :SYSTEM.% system variables.

Get current date style

Hi
How I can get current date adn time style?
Thank you.

Well, what do you need it for? If you just want to use the default locale when parsing/formatting a date, you just use DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat. You don't need to worry about the pattern.
If you want to check what the pattern is with the default locale, you can try this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getInstance();
System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());There is also a distinction between short, medium and long format, and you can get the time or date pattern only if you want. Check the API.

How to Get Current Date from MS Access in a Select Statement

From a java method, I want to use JDBC to get the current date from MS Access. In Oracle I would do "select sysdate from dual", but I can't figure out how to do it in MS Access. Here are some of my attempts. I have a table in my Access db called PARM.
//        String sql = "SELECT '0', NOW() FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT DATE() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW()";
//StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
//        String sql = "select { fn now() } from parm";
        String sql = "SELECT Date()";
//java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
        if (rs.next()) {
            return rs.getString(1);
        } else {
               return null;
          }

Why are you getting it as a String? You should be getting it as a timestamp.
Although getString works for me too. There is something else wrong that you haven't shown.
Here is some shoddy, but simple, test code that demonstrates it working.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stats");
    Statement s = c.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT NOW()");
    while(rs.next()){
      System.out.println(rs.getTimestamp(1));
    rs.close();
    s.close();
    c.close();
}

The Code is :

It is erroring out in the last statement !!

How do get current date/time in GMT?

Is there any way to get the current date and time in GMT (while my current locale is not GMT)?
In Java I can do this:
long currenttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
java.text.SimpleDateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss z");
df.setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
date.setTime(currenttime);But, there seems to be no way to do the equivalent in BPEL in SOA Suite.
I did some research and I think I could appy the XPath 2.0 function adjust-dateTime-to-timezone() to the current time, but that function is not available.
Using SOA SUite 11.1.13.0.
THanks.

have you tried changing the stylesheet version in the xsl to 2.0 and then try the function again ?
by changing this version it was possible to use newer functions, which weren't available in the designer

Getting Current Date and using it in SQL

How do you get a current time and store it in a variable..
I am trying to make an a SQL query using it to search for all previous days appart from today.
ex:
currentDate = // store current date as a ShortDate into a variable
query = "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE < DATES "+currentDate+" ORDER BY Id"";

Regarding prepared statement .
I am trying to insert the date into a variablelike
below.
String date = newjava.sql.Date(myDate.getTime());
I want allow me .... there really has to be a wayto
get a current System Date within java.That is because you have a lot of errors in that
line..
java.sql.Date now = new
java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());If you want it as a sql date object (date object in
sql doesn't have a time field, you need to use
Timestamp if you want date and time)
/Kajjava.sql.Date now = new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime());

Issues with getting current date?

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to using livecycle.
I'm wanting a field to produce the current date when a button is pressed.
I originally tried using a button with a FormCalc script, just using Table1.Cell1=Num2Date(Date(), "DD/MM/YYYY")
This worked fine, however if I enable additional features for reader, the button still produces the date as normal within reader, but when it is saved and reopened I find that the date field is once again blank.
Does anybody have any idea how to get this working?

Hi,
If you go to File > Form Properties > Defaults, check that the Preserve Script Changes is set to Automatic:
That should work,
Niall

Getting current date and timestamp for timezone

I am getting the current date and timestamp using
Date d = new Date();
On the platform I'm using it is returning it in GMT time.
I want to convert this into Eastern Time Zone for United Status.

java.util.Date objects contain a count of milliseconds since the "epoch", which happens to be midnight, Jan 1 1970 GMT. However, they aren't intrinsically "in" any timezone.
If you simply call Date.toString(), you'll get the date formatted for the current locale, including timezone.
If you want a different format, you can use the DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat classes (recommended), or use Calendar to pull the various date components out. You have to physically set the timezone for each of these.
To get a list of timezones supported by your machine, you can run this program:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class TZDump
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    throws Exception
        String[] zones = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();
        Arrays.sort(zones);
        for (int ii = 0 ; ii < zones.length ; ii++)
            System.out.println(zones[ii]);
}And, here's a program that lets you compare the same date in different timezones:
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class TZDemo
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    throws Exception
        SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss");
        Date now = new Date();
        System.out.println("Default TZ = " + fmt.format(now));
        String[] zones = new String[] { "EST", "EST5EDT", "PST"};
        for (int ii = 0 ; ii < zones.length ; ii++)
            fmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(zones[ii]));
            System.out.println("EST        = " + fmt.format(now));
}
