Getting Date from a Unix format Timestamp

Hi there,
I am having trouble with a WebService i am using to get some information. When i get it, the date of the different data i receive is a timestamp like 1198113192912. This number contains the milliseconds passed since the 1st of January, 1970.
The thing is that i have been looking for a MF that allows me to get the date in a readable format, but it seems that the timestamps used in SAP are slightly different, and thus, useless for me.
I would appreciate it a lot if anyone could help me out with this issue, since i do really need to have this sorted out quite soon.
Thanks in advance
Diego

Get date from Oracle when local time zone is different from Oracle time zon

Hi!
Local machine time zone= +2
Oracle time zone= +1
I set date to Oracle using java.sql.Date.
From application I save date at 00:30 clock and send e.g. 28.06.2002, but in Oracle date is save as 27.06.2002 01:00 (hour=01 , I suppose that is because java.sql.Date hasn't time the Oracle set it time = time zone=+1) And when I get date from Oracle I get incorrect date. In SQL I don't use date masks. Maybe solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when save date to Oracle) instead of java.sql.Date?
But if I save date at e.g. 01:00 clock and send e.g. 28:06.2002 in Oracle, date is save as 28.06.2002 01:00 and when I read from Oracle I get correct date.
Thank you.

solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when

Help needed with variable - trying to get data from Oracle using linked svr

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum - I just didn't know where to post it.
I'm trying to write a simple stored procedure to get data from an oracle database via a linked server in SQL Enterprise manager. I have no idea how to pass a variable to oracle.
Here's how I would get the variable in SQL:
declare @maxkey INTEGER
select @maxkey= MAX(keyfield) from [server].Data_Warehouse.dbo.mytable
select * from [server].Data_Warehouse.dbo.mydetailtable where keyfield=@maxkey
the select statement I need to do in oracle would use that variable like this:
select * from OPENQUERY(OracleLinkedServer,'select
* from ORACLEDB.TABLE where keyfield > @maxkey')
and I get this message: OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "OracleLinkedServer" returned message "ORA-00936: missing expression".
I realize that I can't pass the @maxkey variable to oracle - so how do I accomplish this?

Please refer the example in this link which deals with Oracle date format.
You can finnd a command DECODE which is used for date formats. If you have a look at whole theory then you will get an idea.

Hi Masters.
I'm trying to get data from an Oracle DB. I was able to connect to Oracle using tcode DBCO. The connetion works fine
I wrote this code and it works fine without the statement of where date > '01-09-2010'
But i need that statement on the select. I read a lot about this issue, but no answer.
My code is (this code is in SAP ECC 6.0)

how to use between of two months in the format of char.Please tell me how to get two different month between data.

Hi,
This may be of help.
Remember Pointless has made a point ;) (worth millions)
If possible , DO NOT store dates as strings or numbers.Let dates be dates.
WITH dat AS
(SELECT ' THIS IS JAN' x,to_char(to_date('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS FEB' x,to_char(to_date('01-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION

Best way To get data from another application using NDDE lbrary

My vb.net application gets data from another application using NDDE Library. I got stocks prices (open,high,low,close,volume,change......(about 15 records for each stock)) (about 200 stocks) . I don't know if there is a problem in my code.
This is my code:
l : is the list of stocks.
This Sub connects to server and requests the data :
Public Shared Sub GetQuotes()
Try
client1 = New DdeClient(server, topic)
client1.Connect()
For i As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$last", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$open", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$high", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$low", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$pclose", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$volume", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$date", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$time", 1, True, 60000)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
and then I get the data from Client_advise sub (called each time a value changed )and fill the list. What I know is that client advise gets only one record for single stock each time is called..
Example: for stock AAPL. 1st time enters client_Advise I get open price for AAPL, 2nd time I get high price for AAPL,3rd time I get low price..... and I update the value in the List (l)
This the client_Advise Sub:
Private Shared Sub client1_Advise(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NDde.Client.DdeAdviseEventArgs) Handles client1.Advise
For q As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
If l(q).t = w(1) Then
Dim item() As String = e.Item.Split("$")
If l(q).Open = "#" Then
l(q).Open = "0"
End If
If l(q).hi = "#" Then
l(q).hi = "0"
End If
If l(q).lo = "#" Then
l(q).lo = "0"
End If
If l(q).Close = "" Or l(q).Close = "#" Then
l(q).Close = "0"
End If
If l(q).pclose = "#" Then
l(q).pclose = "0"
End If
If item(1) = "open" Then
l(q).Open = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "last" Then
l(q).Close = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "high" Then
l(q).hi = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "volume" Then
l(q).Volume = Val(e.Text)
ElseIf item(1) = "low" Then
l(q).lo = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "pclose" Then
l(q).pclose = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
If l(q).pclose <> "" And l(q).pclose <> "#" And l(q).Close <> "" And l(q).Close <> "#" Then
l(q).c = Format(l(q).Close - l(q).pclose, "0.00")
l(q).cp = Format(((l(q).Close - l(q).pclose) / l(q).pclose) * 100, "0.00")
End If
l(q).flag1 = 2
ElseIf item(1) = "date" Then
l(q).Date1 = e.Text
ElseIf item(1) = "time" Then
l(q).Time = e.Text
End If
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I doing something wrong which inreases CPU usage to 80 or 90 % ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi MikeHammadi,
According to your description, you'd like to get data from another app using NDDE library.
When using the NDDE library, the CPU usage is high. As the NDDE library is third-party library, it is not supported here. I suggest you checking if the problem is caused by the NDDE library.
If you'd like to get data from another app. I suggest you could save the data in the dataBase, and then read it in another application if necessary.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

How to get data from PostgresSQL to Oracle 11g

I have a general idea on the topic but need more information on the procedure to get data from Postgres (version 8.2 on Linux) database to Oracle 11g (on AIX Unix). Thanks very much in advance!

You need to configure DG4ODBC (=Database Gateway for ODBC). When you install it on a 64bit OS (for example on the same machine as your Oracle database), then it requires a 64bit Postgres ODBC driver. If you install it on a 32bit machine (for example on a 32bit Linux), then you need a 32bit Postgres ODBC driver. Commonly on Unix you also need to install a matching ODBC Dreiver Manager (for example you can get it from www.unixodbc.org) when Postgres doesn't ship one with their driver.
A note describing the DG4ODBC configuration can be found on My Oracle Support:
How to Setup DG4ODBC on Linux x86 32bit (Doc ID 466228.1)
and

How to get data from external source

Hi experts,
I want to get data from a different source e.g. from oracle. How can i get the data in BW??
Sam

Hi Samir
there are different interfaces are available according to the source system.
For Oracle source system you can use DB connect interface.
you can extract data from several data sources to BI
File Interface:: Using this interface, you can access files in ASCII format or CSV format
DB Connect :: You use DB Connect to open other database connections in addition to the default connection and use these connections to transfer data from tables or views into a BI system.
UD Connect :: UD Connect (Universal Data Connect) uses the Application Server J2EE connectivity to enable the reporting and analysis of both SAP and non-SAP data. Using UD Connect, you can access all relational and multidimensional data sources. UD Connect transfers the data as flat data.
BI Service API ::
Web Service for Staging ::You use the Web service to write the data from the source into the PSA. The transfer of data is controlled externally, without placing demand on BI.
You can use this interface in conjunction with real-time data acquisition.
Please assign points if this info helps.

Vivek..

Getting data from MySQL

I'm a web developer that is familiar with PHP and MySQL. I
just started working with a guy who has created a site in Flash for
a client, and I've created the backend in PHP. It was understood
that all I'd have to do would be to PUT information into the
database and he'd pull it out on the site. Things have changed and
I've been asked to pull the data down for him.
I've Googled to find out that it's possible to get data from
MySQL into Flash via a textfile formated as such: 'myVar=[data]'. I
don't know the specifics, but I can figure that all out. However, I
have two particular questions regarding the data:
1.) How does Flash handle HTML formatting? The CMS I've
written allows an administrator to input plain HTML and I store
that in the database; how will that translate into Flash? Does
Flash have an HTML parser? I've been having trouble filtering
through searches on Google about using HTML to put Flash on a page
instead of Flash parsing HTML. I read on another forum that Flash
has an HTML 1.0 parser, but the post was dated August 2003.
2.) I've also been storing images as BLOBs in MySQL. How do
I go about pulling these images out? Of the tutorials I've found on
Google, all I can hit with my searches are scenarios in which
people store image
paths in the database, and output them in the same textfile,
'myImage=/images/image.jpg' etc.
[url=http://forums.devarticles.com/web-development-40/flash-mysql-longblobs-9659.html]Thi s
unanswered forum post off-site[/url], is similar to what I'm trying
to do, but I'd need to display many images in a flash movie and I
don't think passing them via src would work.
I'm not necessarily asking for complete solutions for these
problems, I just need to be pointed in the correct direction, maybe
a function or a document I'm missing.

anything fancy.

2. Your PHP scripts cannot send back HTML. They can send back
data either in URL Encoded format or XML. That means your script is
only echoing data. The HTML can be stored in data such as a URL
variable or in CDATA node of XML.
Ex for URLVars: echo theHtml=<p>This
is<b>bold</b></p>&var2=1234&var3=true;
Ok, that's what I thought.

3. You will need your PHP script to create a temporary jpg
file on the server and send to Flash the name of the file. Then you
use either MovieClip.loadMovie or MovieClipLoader to fetch the jpg
on the Flash side. There should be links on the web for the PHP
part handling the filenaming and the garbage collection.
Uhg, that's what I also thought, and was afraid of. You told
me everything I need to know I think. Thank you.

Search result to get data from bing search and display it in sharepoint page.

I have configured result source which gets data from bing site,i have given following url as source url
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms}&format=rss&Market=en-Us
but it returns only 8 results from RSS. i want to get all results of search and display it in my SharePoint search results page.
any pointers will be helpful.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to search result to get data from bing search and displayed it in sharepoint page.
To display more items, you can modify the item number when you add
New Query Rule.
To get all results, I recommend to use the “Show More”
link in the result page.
You can enter the URL when you add New Query Rule:
"More" link goes to the following URL: http://www.bing.com/search?q={searchterms}
Here is a great blog for your reference:

JSON - get data from Oracle table

Hi all,
I hope it is correct thread...
My need is to get data from oracle table using JSON and show output at html table. I'm very new to JSON (got some experience in PL/SQL and basic html knowledge). Could someone direct me to manual or give me simple example?

JSON is a way to format data, not a way to fetch data. Call it an alternative to XML.
Are you perhaps talking about doing an ajax request to fetch data?

Can we get data from business views in CR 2008/XI?

Hi All,
Can we get data from business views in CR 2008/XI?
If its possible, pls let us know how to get connect with Business View in both of these versions and what is the tool that we have to use to create Business Views.
Thank you,
Krishna Pingali

Hi Krishna,
Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise ( BOE ) Business Views can only be created using the BV build which comes with BOE and installed using the Work Station installer for BOE. for both XI and 2008.
You cannot mix these two versions on the same PC not can one talk to the other, the BV designer must match the same version as BOE. XI ( version 11.0 ) is no longer available but if you mean XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) then it still is.
It's not completely clear which Business View you are referring to? BOE has a Business View Designer so not sure if this is just a naming problem or not? If you are referring to the BOE Business View Designer then the above is true. If your reference is about some other BV designer or data source then you need to clarify.
Contact our Sales department for pricing and availability.
Thank you

How to get data from hard drive in dead iMac?

I have an old slot-loading iMac (350Mhz G3 blueberry) that just died, probably a dead power supply or something. Won't turn on at all. I don't care about restoring it, I just want to take the hard drive out and grab data from it. I've found instructions for removing the HD ... but any tips on the best/cheapest way to hook it up to get data from it? It's EIDE I believe from what I've read so far. Thanks for any help.

Hey Richard.....Thanks for the reply to my question about my wife's dead iMac.....
Her iMac had been acting up lately, mostly to do with her Outlook Express freezing up in OS9. I dunno if OS9 was freezing or if the application was failing. Regardless, I would have to quit OS9, restart Outlook which at the same time restarted OS9. All would be fine for a while, a day or two and then the scene would repeat itself. But I think that issue is separate from the iMac being "dead". Often we have power outages in the area, more than we should. I had the iMac plugged into a battery backup, some APS product I think it is. I believe it is only good for less than an hour as we have other devices drawing on it too. Most of our power outages are of short duration, just enough to be aggravating, sometimes having to reset clocks, etc...And a couple times, I would have to reset the time and date on the iMac so this told me that the PRAM battery was below minimum voltage. But the iMac would ALWAYS restart, even with the low battery. But the most recent outage, about one hour duration, did in the iMac, somehow or other. I do believe the battery backup basically fully discharged. So I removed the battery, could not find a new battery locally so I drove to the big city and paid the local Apple service dealer a visit. I got ripped big time price wise, embarrassed to say. So I get home, put the battery in the holder, depressed the CMU reset, the powerbutton illuminated as did a green LED by the memory modules for less than three seconds and then quit. I also heard the HD trying to spin up and a high voltage THUMP which I assume is the CRT trying to ignite. If I unplugged the iMac, removed the battery, plug in the power again and hit the power button, the iMac would repeat the same short on period and then quit. So it did not seem to make any difference if there was a battery in place. I read somewhere to pull the battery, pull the AC cord, hold down the power button to dump any current (?) and let the unit sit for 24hrs. After that length of time, I was supposed to replace the battery, depress the CMU reset, wait ten seconds and then feed it AC. Well, when I pressed the power button, I heard life for maybe five seconds, maybe a second longer, then a beep and then it shut down. I pulled the AC cord, pulled the battery, re-inserted the battery, depressed the CMU reset, waited a few seconds, plugged in the AC cord, depressed the power button and I am back at the under three seconds of "power-up" and then nothing, dead, no beep, nothing. I think maybe it is a waste of time trying to mess with this unit, looking for a newer iMac on eBay, the snowball series with the 17" LCD, might be time better spent. Hate throwing stuff away, that's why I am up to my ears in junk, maybe u know that scenario. The wife likes my 19" ACER LCD screen, hooked up to this old dual 800mhz, though she dislikes the noise and the tower. But we both agree the large LCD screen is much easier on our aging eyes than the old iMac CRT. Anyway, I appreciate your help, always GREAT to correspond with an Apple fan.....John Bauer

Funds management cube getting data from 4 ods, data not seen in cube

Hello all,
I am working on funds management cubes (0PU_C02 and 0PU_C03). These two cubes get data from like 7 or 8 ODS. Can someone tell me which are the ODS which feed to respective cubes. I have the mappings done but i am getting very confused.
In the ods 0PU_O44 there is RLDNR for Ledger and I can see that data in ODS but when i run load to cube I dont see the ledger data (its direct mapping there are no routines or rules).
Is there any sequence with wihic we have to load the data?
