How do I set the system time?

Hello
The system time can be read using System.currentTimeMillis(), but, how can I set it?
Thanks

several approaches:
you could use the OS function to set and call it via Runtime.exec().
For WIndows e.g.: "time 08:15:00" to set the system time.

    Hi All,
    How do we update the system time inside java programme.

    AFAIK there is no easy (pure java) way: either you exec something (depending on your paltform) or use native code. Appropriate privileges will be necessary.

  • How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

    How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

    I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
    About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

  • HT1175 how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

    how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

    The Time Capsule needs to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers.
    So, the first logical question here would be......
    What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • 1.5 How to globally set the System Cache location

    FROM ANOTHER USER ON ANOTHER BOARD:
    This one did not get answered completely.
    ************************* Question:
    Hello,
    I want to deploy JWS on a client PC with Microsoft XP OS. This client have multiple users. JWS put a file deployment.properties in the directory "documents and setting" for the current user.
    How can I create a uniquely file deployment.properties for all users of this client (new and existing profiles) ?
    Create a directory "documents and setting/all users/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties don't work.
    Create a directory "documents and setting/default user/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties is working but is not good for the existing users. This is good uniquely for new users.
    is there a solution ?
    King regards,
    funchung
    ************************* ANSWER:
    For windows, the system config file is at:
    {Windows Directory}\Sun\Java\Deployment\
    The value of the {Windows Directory} is determined by using the Win32 API GetWindowsDirectory.
    So for example, on XP, the system config file is:
    c:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    The settings in this system config file will be used by all users on the system.
    ***************************** HIS REPLY
    I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work.
    I've also tried createing a deployment.config file as per the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html article and this doesn't work for me.
    Has anyone done this successfully??
    ******************************** MY REPLY:
    This is true.
    I can get the system install to work if I add the parameter:
    deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
    to the deployment.properties file found under:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment
    but it will NOT work by adding it to the:
    C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment
    directory. It just creates a new default one in the user's folder.
    What am I doing wrong?
    If there is not a way to globally set the System Cache location, then this isn't much better than the user cache for being able to "install" the software once on the PC and let any user that signs in access that application.
    We had high hopes for this, since this functionality was taken away from us once the java cache started being stored in the user's folders.
    More details:
    I just tried setting the mandatory=true setting and it tells me that it is not allowed to start because it can't find the
    deployment.properties in the same folder (full path is displayed) but I know it is there, because it is the same folder. I even double checked the spelling.
    Maybe there is a bug in the way it finds that properties file, or maybe I need to include something in that file that I didn't find in documentation?
    All it has in it is the one line:
    deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
    Can anybody help shed light on this?
    It seems to be a bug that it can't find the deployment.properties file in the 'system' folder.

  • How do I set the date/time on my Airport Express?

    I am using an Apple Airport Express to connect to a wireless router in another part of the house. However, I am unable to set the date/time correctly and so the logs all start from Dec 13, 0hrs.
    I have tried using an internet time server, but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab just under the row of icons
    Settings for Time Zone and the option to Set Time Automatically are there
    Click Update to save your new settings and restart the AirPort Express

  • How to programmatically set the real-time CVI startup DLL?

    Dear NI Support Engineer:
    I'm part of a team of software engineers working on a real-time aerospace app at Honeywell (Coon Rapids, MN campus).  We're using LabWindows/CVI 9.0 and three LabView 8.6 real-time modules.
    Up until now, we've been using the CVI debugger to launch our real-time apps or just copying the app DLL to C:\ni-rt\cvi on the real-time box and setting it as the default startup DLL.
    What we need to do now is create our own directory structure at the root of C: on the real-time box (which, by the way, is using the Reliant file system).
    In fact, we have created directory ug7500 at the root of C: on the realtime box, and two subdirectories (one for data and one for results) directly under directory ug7500.  We'd like to place all of our app DLLs in the ug7500 directory and have the ability to change the default startup DLL programmatically.
    We've been using your LabWindows/CVI Real-time File Copy Utility to set the startup DLL whenever we're not using the debugger.  That was just fine for the first stage of our development.
    At this stage, however, we need be able to set the startup DLL programmatically.  We have not been able to find out how to do this from reading the real-time module documentation.
    Can you either point us at some documentation on programmatically setting the default startup DLL, or e-mail us the instructions, or give us a phone call and explain what steps we must take.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello All,
    For the reference of anyone else trying to do this, you can modify the INI file to change the startup DLL. Using the INI instrument that ships with CVI (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI90\toolslib\toolbox), you can find the StartupDLLs tag and replace the last value with your startup DLL, such as:
    #include "inifile.h"
    #include <cvirte.h>
    static int status;
    static IniText myINIFile;
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
     if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
      return -1;    /* out of memory */
     myINIFile = Ini_New (0);
     status = Ini_ReadFromFile (myINIFile, "c:\\ni-rt.ini");
     status = Ini_PutRawString (myINIFile, "LVRT", "StartupDLLs", "c:\\NI-RT\\system\\cvi_lvrt.dll;c:\\ni-rt\\system\\nidevldp.dll;nisysapirpc.dll;niorbp.dll;c:\\ni-rt\\system\\mxsemb.dll;c:\\ni-rt\\system\\nipxism.dll;c:\\NI-RT\\cvi\\myStartup.dll;");
     status = Ini_WriteToFile (myINIFile, "c:\\ni-rt.ini");
     return 0;
    Right now, there are some caveates with using CVI 9.0 to manipulate an INI file to be used on an RT target. The INI functions currently add line breaks automatically for large tag values and adds quotes around the values. For many INI files this is ok (such as TestStand INI files), but it will not work on an RT target. To remove these features, modify the following lines of the inifile.c file located in the same directory as the INI instrument:
    1. On line 38, change the default value of INI_NUM_CHARS_PER_LINE from 80 to a large number such as 8000.
    2. Comment out line 953 (newEntry->addMarkerQuotes = addMarkerQuotes;
    Now you should be able to programmatically change the INI file of your target machine and, therefore, change the startup DLLs.

  • How do you set the system MESSAGE_ID to an XML field value?

    Hi experts,
    I need to set the value of the system MESSAGE_ID to a field that an external company will send in the XML file. What I could gather thus far is that it should look something like this:
    //externalRef and container are passed as parameters:
    GlobalContainer globalContainer;
    String headerField;
    java.util.Map map;
    globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
    globalContainer.setParameter("MessageId", externalRef);
    map = globalContainer.getParameters();
    headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
    return headerField;
    The problem is the setParameter() function - not sure how it is supposed to work. The GETting of the MessageId works though but I need to SET it while mapping the file. Any ideas?

    use the sample code as provided in the link - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/78/b4ea10263c404599ec6edabf59aa6c/frameset.htm
    in your case it will be MESSAGE_ID - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/b3/9a2aeb24dc4ab6b1855c99157529e4/frameset.htm

  • How do you set the alert time to default to a set amount of time in the calendar?

    How do you set a default alert time in my calendar so I don't have to set it every time?

    Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

  • How can I set the query time out for SQVI?

    Hi,
      I want to setup query timeout for a particular user so that if his query (created in SQVI) takes more then say 10 minutes, it automatically times out and system resources are freed up.
    How can I do this for a specific user? Also in case I cant do it for a specific user how can I do it for all users?
    Thanks for reading

    Hello Srikrishna,
    The SQVI is a dialog transaction and henc its governed by your system's rdisp/max_wprun_time parameter.
    A dialog work process has a run-time limit that prevents users from interactively running especially long reports. By default, the system terminates any dialog work process in a transaction that exceeds 300 seconds. Although the value of the limit can be changed (in the system profile parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time), that limit is always in effect for dialog work processes. No such limit applies to background work processes.

    Siddhesh
