Help with Date Functions in BPEL

We are trying to use the following function :
xp20:subtract-dayTimeDuration-from-dateTime(dateTime as string, duration as string)
We tried duration as "01:00:00" or even a numeric value as a string like "600".
This function however does not return anything (Not even an error).
We want to subtract a certain amount of time (say x hours or minutes) from a given date/time field. Is there any other way this can be done? Or Can someone who has used this function successfully please tell us where we could have gone wrong?
Thanks
Vinod.

Has anyone faced the same problem? Is there any work around to this?
Regards,
Vinod.

Help with Date function in sql query....

My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
--------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
<%!
String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
return simpleDate.format(d);
%>
<%
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
%>
---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
something like
rdate = <%= dateString %>
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

There are sql functions upper & lower.
SELECT name FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

select (date2-date1)/24 from dual;date2-date1 is amount of days. Divide it by 24 and what? if you multiply it on 24 you will have a chance to know how many hours between these two dates. :-)Don't forget that a DATE type also includes a time component.I suppose it doesn't matter if you did a difference between two dates. The result is always number of days.

Need Help with Dates

I am printing a calendar and certain events will be helds on certain dates.
One can edit the event if it has not passed the date. Events in the past can be viewed but not edited.
When I query the database the date must be formatted dd-MMM-yy
I am able to get today's date by doing this:
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
String today_str = sdf.format(today);
My code for printing the calendar: I left out some of the table formatting in the JSP page.
GregorianCalendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
int today = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = d.get(Calendar.MONTH);
d.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
int weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
for(int i = Calendar.SUNDAY; i < weekday; i++)
out.print("<td> </td>");
do {
int day = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
out.print("<td>" + day + "</td>");
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
if(weekday == Calendar.SATURDAY)
out.println("</tr><tr valign=top>");
d.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
} while(d.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month);
if(weekday != Calendar.SUNDAY)
System.out.println();
The part I need help on is this:
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
I'm looping through each day of the month to print the days. I have the month, day, year as integers. How can I create a date object out of that and compare it to today's date to test if it's before or after today???
All the function in the Date class that I think would do this have been deprecated.

Need Help with Dates
Here is some information about dates:
There are many edible palm fruits, and one of the most widespread and favored of these is the data (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates were cultivated in ancient land from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 6000 B.C. Then--as now--dates were a staple for the natives of those dry regions. Much later, Arabs spread dates around northern Africa, and dates were introduced into California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
The date prefers dry, hot climates, because date fruits are injured at temperatures of 20 degrees F, and the damp climate of the California coast was not favorable for fruit production. In the mid-1800s, the date industry developed in California's hot interior valleys and in Arizona. Now the date industry in the United States is localized mostly in the Coachella Valley, where the sandy soils permit the plants to be deeply irrigated. Today the new varieties, mostly introduced in this century, produce about 40 million pounds of dates per annum, or over 60% of the dates consumed in this country. The rest are imported mainly from Persia. According to one survey, about one million people are engaged entirely in date palm cultivation worldwide.
Hope that helps.

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

Many thanks for the reply.
In the servlet create an Arraylist and in th efor

In the jsp retrieve the array list from the session

You can do this in a scriptlet but should also check

Help with date validation on input boxes.

I need some help with date validation on input boxes.
What I�m trying to create is a form where a user inputs dates and then the rest of the form calculates the other dates for them.
i.e. � A user inputs 2 dates (A & B) and then a 3rd date which is 11 weeks before date B is calculated automatically.
Is this possible and if so how do I do it ???

Hello brugo,
Try this:
v_inicio := to_nchar((to_date(p_datahora_inicio || p_hora_inicio , 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
v_inicio := to_nchar((to_date(p_datahora_fim || p_hora_fim , 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS');When I substitute strings: '10/12/2009' for p_datahora_inicio and '22:30:05' for p_hora_inicio, using this format string, I get: 10/12/2009 22:30:05 as a result.

Need some help with date

Hi everyone!
I have an application in Flex AIR and I'm having problems with dates, I could't found an example on internet until now.
I tried this for insert (database is embeded sqlite)
insertManager.parameters[":mydate"] = mydate.selectedDate.time; // type of this column is INTEGER (in my table) and store a number (milliseconds from 1/1/1970) ex: 1265079600000
Then when I need read records
mydate.selectedDate = new Date(mydateprice); //it supposed show me DD/MM/YYYY but in every case display 1/1/1970
If I replace mydateprice for mydate.selectedDate = new Date(1265079600000); // it brings me the right date
So I don't know what happed, and I'm not sure if it's the best idea to store a date in Flex AIR
I'll appreciate any help, information or example to find a solution.
Regards!
Mara.-

Thank you so much VIKASH!!! it works!!!

I need help with Analytic Function

Hi,
I have this little problem that I need help with.
My datafile has thousands of records that look like...
Client_Id Region Countries
[1] [1] [USA, Canada]
[1] [2] [Australia, France, Germany]
[1] [3] [China, India, Korea]
[1] [4] [Brazil, Mexico]
[8] [1] [USA, Canada]
[9] [1] [USA, Canada]
[9] [4] [Argentina, Brazil]
[13] [1] [USA, Canada]
[15] [1] [USA]
[15] [4] [Argentina, Brazil]
etc
My task is is to create a report with 2 columns - Client_Id and Countries, to look something like...
Client_Id Countries
[1] [USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico]
[8] [USA, Canada]
[9] [USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil]
[13] [USA, Canada]
[15] [USA, Argentina, Brazil]
etc.
How can I achieve this using Analytic Function(s)?
Thanks.

Hi,
That's called String Aggregation , and the following site shows many ways to do it:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
Which one should you use? That depends on which version of Oracle you're using, and your exact requirements.
For example, is order importatn? You said the results shoudl include:
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexicobut would you be equally happy with
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canadaor
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Korea?

If you'd like help, post your best attempt, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Help With Date Manipulation

Hi Everyone,
I need help with oracle dates. I would like to format the following dates and keep it as a DATE datatype NOT char.
1/10/2007 8:57:45 PM TO 1/10/2007 (only the data part of SYSDATE)
1/10/2007 8:57:45 PM TO 1/1/2007 (first of the month)
If I use the To_Char function, it will return a character string. The problem is that I need to retain the DATE datatype so I can join this query to tables with date fields.

This?

Queries with date functions using PreparedStatement for multiple DB

I am developing application that uses DB independant queries. I am using preparedstatement to process the queries. I need to use date functions for query selection criteria.
for eg.
selecting the list of employees who had joined in the last 15 days
selecting list of employees who had joined between two dates etc.
where Date Joined field is a Timestamp value. To extract date no DB specific function can be used.
If I use setMonth, setYear etc.. to set params in the pstmt the query becomes complex in the above case. Can any one throw some light on how to do the above in preparedstatement or any other better alternative.
Tx a lot

Hi,
I did not mean that way. I presume that there is a timestamp value (may be a date too) column in the table. Then based upon your requirement (say before 15 days) pass the value as date (or time stamp) in the query as a parameter.
String qry = "select * from myTable where join_date <= ?";
stmt.setDate(1,myDate); // this is where you will have to manipulate the value to suit your DB timestamp or date value; you will have compatibility issues with util.Date and sql.Date so use Calendar class to satisfy.Feel free to mail me if you need further clarifications to [email protected]

Help with data load model

Hi,
I need help with a data load model. First, i'm doing delta extraction from R/3, we load data with a InfoSource to InfoCube A and InfoCube B.
I'm doing master data validation on the load, so if a load fails for InfoCube A, it fails for InfoCube B too (this is because i can have only 1 InfoPackage for the 2 infocubes, because of the delta update).
So i propose a new model in wich:
- The delta load is taked first to an ODS.
- ODS is cleaned before the delta update.
- Then i create 2 InfoPackages for full load from ODS to Infocube A, and from ODS to InfoCube B.
With this solution i can have 2 infopackages from ODS because i'm not doing a delta load from here to the cubes, and with 2 infopackages i can have independent validations for each cube so if one of them fails, the other can still be loaded sucessfully.
The solution fails because if i load delta from R/3 to the ODS i can't clean it first. The initialization and the old updates needs to be previuslly loaded on the ODS. Then i can't do full load to the cubes and neither have 2 infopackages.
Please help me to solve this issue.
thanks a lot

Hi jeremy,
what about this simple solution:
load data by delta from R/3 in your ODS. You can also have an ODS/cube for the historical data which is more space-saving than holding all the old data in PSA. Then you load your historical data from PSA into the historical ODS/cube.
From your ODS with the actual data you update your requests by full from ODS into the cubes with 2 different full infopackages. But because you load by full you have to use deletion selections in the infopackages to avoid duplicate data!
regards,
Jürgen
