How to access current system date???

Hi Experts,
I am working on a process wherein a user creates a proposal and a notification is sent to the manager for approval.
Now i need to send the date of creation as a attribute to the manager.
Can anyone guide me as to how to get the current system date???
Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Gaurav Raghav

Hi Wojciech Matulewicz,
I have tried using this before and i faced this problem.
When i click on create proposal, the screen just refreshes and the CO execution doesnt ends.
Without ending this field, however things work fine.
here is the code:
Method technicalDescription()
IGPAttributeInfo date = output.addAttribute("DATE", IGPAttributeInfo.BASE_DATE);
date.setMultiplicity(IGPAttributeInfo.MULITIPLICITY_1_1);
Method execute()
Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
contextElement.setDate(currDate);
Method complete()
output.setAttributeValue("Date", wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate());
If i comment out this code, the CO execution works out fine, but on addition of this code the screen refreshes and CO execution doesnt end.
Am i doing something wrong???
please help me out with this.
Thanks.
Cheers
Gaurav Raghav

How to display current system Date in the Date Input field ?

Hi,
I am having a Date Input field( binded to Data type). On load, i would like to display the current system date filled in that input field.
How do i achieve this ?

Hi Venkatesan,
In your view in your init() method add the following code:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setOrderDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
this is if your Date-attribute is in the root of the context.
else you have to set the date in the node where the date-attribute is present with:
IYOURNODEElement node = wdContext.createYOURNODEElement();
node.setOrderDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));

How to get current system date and store in db

may i know how to get the current system date so that i can store it into the database

java.util.Date is NOT deprecated, just most of its methods are.
Use
new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());to get the current date. Note that the date in a client machine
may differ from the clock of the server!
BTW: java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date.

How to set current/system date to af:inputDate type field

Hi,
I am using <af:inputDate component to take date input from user. It is not a VO atrribute field. Could you pls suggest how to set system date to it as it loads on page by default.
Regards,
jitu

Could you please provide the .jsff code as well. What you have used as value="#{bindings.date.inputValue}" in below code?
<af:inputDate value="#{bindings.date.inputValue}"
label="Sales Date"
required="#{bindings.date.hints.mandatory}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.date.hints.tooltip}" id="id1"
binding="#{bean.searchDate}">
<f:validator binding="#{bindings.date.validator}"/>
<af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.date.format}"/>
</af:inputDate>

How to insert the system date using PreparedStatement

How do I insert system date(from Orcale database) using
PreparedStatement. I am aware that that oracle has date
function 'sysdate' to retrieve the database current date.
How Do i use that in the following syntax?
Alertnative 1:
String inssql =
"insert into emp (empid, name, dept, updateDate) "+
" values (?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(inssql);
pstmt.setInt(1, 123456);
pstmt.setString(2, "Bougnon Kipre");
pstmt.setString(3, "Rare Species Depatement" );
pstmt.setDate(4, sysdate) // if this okay
pstmt.executeUpdate();
Alternative 2:
String inssql =
"insert into emp (empid, name, dept, updateDate) "+
" values (?, ?, ?, sysdate)";
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(inssql);
pstmt.setInt(1, 123456);
pstmt.setString(2, "Bougnon Kipre");
pstmt.setString(3, "Rare Species Depatement" );
pstmt.executeUpdate();

Hi,
The second alternative will be the best way.
Since the alternative 1 won't work. sysdate cannot be accessed
from java as a variable. Either use alternative two or create a
java.sql.Date and insert it.

How to get the system date format string?

Hello, everybody!
I want to create a MaskFormatter with a mask for dates. So, I could suply as the constructor parameter: "##/##/####'. However, what if the year comes first in the current system date format settings, or the month is in the second place or in the first?... So, I can't just suppose that the current locale format for dates is like the one above. So, my question is: is there a way to get the SYSTEM DATE FORMAT STRING in Java? Searching in google I saw that this was already asked in this forum:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301034&messageID=1193794
but there was no effective answer. Does someone already know how to get this?
Thank you.
Marcos

Hi, not sure, but
import java.text.*;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());
will output something like dd/MM/yy HH:mm
hthThank you very much. It worked.

Creating a field or workflow that responds to the Current System Date.

In our activities/tasks we have a field that is the Expected Completion Date or Required Completion Date. Based on that date, and the current date, I want a workflow to trigger when the required completion date is less than 30 days away, sending daily reminders to the owner/manager that they have a activity/task due.
The way I see it I have two options.
1. Customize a field to be the system date. Create a workflow that says every time that field changes, and the date is within 30 days of required completion date, send out an email.
2. Create a workflow that somehow incorporates the current/system date, and do the same thing as above, substituting the field with the actual date.
I don't know how to make either of those options happen. Does anyone either have other options or advice on how to make this work?
Thank you in advance!

Hello Cyril,
Here is an idea that could be done:
You could create a dynamic step by having a step that holds all the properties for both configurations (the superset of the necessary variables) and an extra one that indicates which 'mode' the step is in. Then you create the main Edit substep in whichever language you desire. That substep window will then have a box/dropdown/etc. at the top you can use to choose between modes A & B. When the user changes the value, you would dynamically change the rest of the window to contain the appropriate properties for mode A or B. You then copy the property values in that window to the Step properties, and copy the mode to your variable and you can run the step in that mode. When the step then runs, it checks the mode variable, and depending on its value, it will run the step in mode A or B.
Now we could add a dialog that allows us to choose when we put a step down but we should still allow the user to change later via the Edit substep we create.
I don't think we can create something that inserts a completely different step, but we can have one step that has the ability to do both and we can pick which one we execute. Also note we still don't have the ability to edit the Panels for a step, so we have to use a new window that we call from our Edit substep to complete the step.
Hope this helps.

CASE i_vnam.
    WHEN '<write ur variable name>'.

Set current system date in a field on load of a page

Hi APEX users,
I read about a similar thread on the subject but I am just as confused.
Simply I need assistance with the following:
I have a page that has many fields and one of those fields is DATE_RESOLVED. This is a DATE Picker field but I want this field to show the current system date every time the form loads/reloads BUT yet give the user the ability to change the date if they should choose to do so by way of the DATE Picker calendar.
How would I achieve this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. My form is functioning just fine but I just need to achieve this one last date function.
Thanks in anticipation for your assistancel.
Rick

Hi Ric,
the follwing should cover your requirements.
a)
On you main page screen, if you click on your particuar date item, say P1_MY_DATE
set the follwing:
#1 under Source,
Source Used: only when current value in session state is null
Source Type: Plsql expression or function
Source value or expression: sysdate
#2 under default
default value: sysdate
default value type: plsql expression
b)
On your main page screen, create a new page computation by clicking on the '+' icon next to computation on the left hand side (page rendering)
location- item on this page (default) -> next ->
compute item: select your item (P1_MY-DATE) -> computation point: Before regions ->computation type: plsql expression -> next ->
computation: sysdate -> next
(leave blank, unless you want this to be conditional) -> create
done...
