How to check the last modified time of a file?

Does anyone know how to use LabVIEW to check the "last modified time" of a file?
Thanks.

This works just fine here (Windows XP, LabVIEW 8.5.1).
(Actually, if you look closely, it is off by one second. I guess the file properties dialog rounds in a different way )
Do you have more information? (e.g LabVIEW version, OS, etc.). Can you show us the code that fails?

How to get the last modified time for directory?

Hi,
I have to accomplish this.
A folder c:\myfolder can literally contain anything files.. sub directories, fiels in sub directories.
I have a thread monitoring c:\myfolder, basically people can dump files in any order into that directory and I have to trigger something when there is no activity on c:\myfolder for 10 secs.
I tried lastModified() with File("c:\myfolder") but that seems to be working only if there is some change on root level of c:\myfolder, for eg if I have a sub folder c:\myfolder\subfolder and I copy some file into c:\myfolder\subfolder, then the lastModified() doesnt seem to be updatiing on the mail folder "c:\myfolder"
Is there a way I can handle this situation?
Any suggession is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was looking to accomplish this using simple java
code without any 3rd party involvment.Then you will have to monitor all the directories that people might dump files into. You can't expect Java to automatically deal with things that the operating system doesn't support just because those things happen to be your requirements.

How to find the Last modified date and time of a package

Hi,
We need a clarification on how to find the Last modified date and time of a package in Oracle. We used the example below to explain our scenario,
Lets consider the following example
Let A, B be two packages.
Package A calls the package B. So A is dependent on B.
When A is compiled the TIMESTAMP,LAST_DDL_TIME in USER_OBJECTS gets updated.
Now there a modification in package B so it is compiled. There is no modification in package A.
Now when the package A is executed the TIMESTAMP,LAST_DDL_TIME in USER_OBJECTS gets updated but we did not make any change in Package A. Now we need to find last modified date and time of the package A . So we can not rely on the TIMESTAMP,LAST_DDL_TIME in USER_OBJECTS . Can u please tell us any other solution to get last modified date and time of the package A .
Regards,
Vijayanand.C

Here is an example:
SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME,CREATED,LAST_DDL_TIME,TIMESTAMP,STATUS FROM USER_OBJECTS
2 WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ANY('A','B');
OBJECT_NAM CREATED LAST_DDL_TIME TIMESTAMP STATUS
A 20-MAY-2004 10:57:32 20-MAY-2004 10:57:32 2004-05-20:10:57:32 VALID
B 20-MAY-2004 10:58:22 20-MAY-2004 10:59:04 2004-05-20:10:59:04 VALID
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE A AS
2 BEGIN
3 NULL;
4 NULL;
5 END;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME,CREATED,LAST_DDL_TIME,TIMESTAMP,STATUS FROM USER_OBJECTS
2 WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ANY('A','B');
OBJECT_NAM CREATED LAST_DDL_TIME TIMESTAMP STATUS
A 20-MAY-2004 10:57:32 20-MAY-2004 11:01:28 2004-05-20:11:01:28 VALID
B 20-MAY-2004 10:58:22 20-MAY-2004 10:59:04 2004-05-20:10:59:04 INVALID
SQL> EXEC B
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME,CREATED,LAST_DDL_TIME,TIMESTAMP,STATUS FROM USER_OBJECTS
2 WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ANY('A','B');
OBJECT_NAM CREATED LAST_DDL_TIME TIMESTAMP STATUS
A 20-MAY-2004 10:57:32 20-MAY-2004 11:01:28 2004-05-20:11:01:28 VALID
B 20-MAY-2004 10:58:22 20-MAY-2004 11:01:53 2004-05-20:11:01:53 VALID
Note that the date under the column 'created' only changes when you really create or replace the procedure.
Hence you can use the column 'created' of 'user_objects'.

How to find the last modified date of a workflow.

How to find the last modified date of a workflow.
thanks.

Hi,
There is nothing as standard that does this - you could write some code to determine the latest begin_date from each of the workflow tables and assume that this was the last time that the definition changed.
What you need is something like this:
select max(wfa.begin_date)
from   wf_process_activities wpa
,      wf_activities          wfa
,      wf_item_types_tl       wit
where wpa.activity_item_type = wfa.item_type
and    wpa.activity_name      = wfa.name
and    wfa.version            = (select max(version) from wf_activities wfa1 where wpa.activity_item_type = wfa1.item_type and wpa.activity_name = wfa1.name )
and    wpa.process_item_type = 'your item type'
and    wpa.process_item_type = wit.namewhich I think gives what you want.

Getting the "last modified" property of a file located on HTTP server

Hello
I'd like to read a file (on http server) according to his "last modified" time. Can anybody tell me how to get the "last modified" property in a J2ME/CLDC application?
Thanks in advance

the file that you want get is in the server?
you can use java.io.File.lastModified() which in J2SE to get a long num.
then you can transform long int to orther class that you need ,and do this in server.
at the end of all you can send this info to J2ME/CLDC app with stream.

Need to know how to find the last execution time for a function module

HI all
I need to know
1) How to find out the last execution time of the function module ?
say for eg. I have executed a func. module at 1:39pm. How to retrieve this time (1:39pm)
2) I have created 3 billing document in tcode VF01 i.e 3 billing doucment no. would be created in SAP TABLE "VBRP" b/w 12am to 12:30 am.
How to capture the latest SAP database update b/w time intervals?
3) Suppose I am downloading TXT file using "GUI_DOWNLOAD" and say in 20th record some error has happened. I can capture the error using the exception.
Is it possible to run the program once again from 21st records ? All this will be running in background...
Kindly clarify....
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance

1.Use tcode STAT input as Tcode of Fm and execute .
2. See the billing documents are created in table VBRk header and there will always be Creation date and time.
VBRk-Erdat "date ., u can check the time field also
So now if u talk the date and time we can filter then display the records in intervals.
3. with an error exeption how is my txt download finished .
once exception is raised there will not be a download .

vijay

How to check the date and time when a material is blocked

Hello,
Please tell me how can i check the date and time when a material is blocked or unblocked.
Regards,
Priyanka

Hi Pryianka,
Are you speaking about blocked status of material master ('X-plant matl status' > MM03 > Basioc view 1; 'Plant-sp. matl status' > MM03 > MRP 1) or your problem is to find out the date when your material was booked into blocked state (stock category).
If your problem is about mmr you can use the above mentioned MM04 (or MM03 > menu > Environment > Display changes).
If your problem is to find out when your goods were posted to blocked stock you have to use MB51 + relevant movement types (e.g. 103, 344) + batch + etc. ()

How to check the last receiveing date of a specific material

Dear Experts,
I want to check the last receiving date of an specific material. Is there any standard t.code ?
Mov.Type 101, 103.
Thanks in advance.
Dinesh

Hi,
Transaction code MB51 used to list out the posting date of GR received material document number, date and quantity.
This report is basically used for list out all the material document based on sort out of posting date, movement type (101 ,103 etc).
There you can easily find it the posting date of the GR receiving.
MC.A is the Analysis report which is used for analysis of Material total Goods receiving and goods issues -basic list.
- I suggest to use report MB51 - based on receiving movement 101, transfer 301,311 etc or issues movement 201 posting date.
Thanks and Regards,

How to determine the creation date/time for a file?

The important operating systems maintain both a creation date/time and last modified date/time for files. But in the File class there is only a lastModified() method. How does one determine the creation date/time for a file?

As far as i know, there is no way to know creation time, since it is a OS dependant information.

How to read the last line in a txt file?

I want to read the last line in a txt file. There are thousands of lines in this file. What I want is to move the file pointer directly to the last line of the file. But I did not know how do to it. Can anybody help me out?
Thank you very much!

If the file is coded as ASCII or one of the encodings that maps a single byte to a char then the following class will assist you

How to find the last modified documents

Hi
Is there any navigation iview which displays last modified documnets or any custom development is required.
I have a requirement to prepare an iview which shows the latest 10 documnets and each document have a link
When end-user enters portal theres no functionality to show what is new or has been modified from last visit. By creating such an iView that will go through KM Documents and list last modified to an iView as links this functionality can be established.
Links will open either to new browser window or navigate users to that document in portal.
While iView creates list of modified documents, permissions to those files need to be checked. No links to files which user does not have permissions will not be shown in iView.
Configurable custom properties:
Amount of documents listed in iView can be configured from iView properties. For example:
Amount Of Documents = 10
can you please suggest in the above problem?

Hi Durga,
there is a How-To Guide on how to create an iView that displays the latest 10 documents (with links).
Here the link:<a href="https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700007276522005E.ZIP">Configuring the Last10Documents Scenario</a>

How to determine the last backup time?

On my iPhone 4 I sync it to iTunes on my IMAC.
I hit backup and it says "Backing up my iPhone"
I then want to see the date and time of the last backup? How do I do that?
I right click on the iPhone in Itunes and select "Restore from Backup" and the
list shows a date/time of yesterday and then a selection that just shows the iPhone name. I can't see the backup (date/time) I just did.
As I understand it from reading the sync and backup are actually different so
I want to know the backup was successful and what timestamp is associated with that backup.

iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab.

How to read the last line in a text file using text_io?? please help

Dear all
I made a procedure that append text into a text file on the operating system.
the text file grows rapidly. It contains now about 200,000 line . I need to read the last line only . In other wprds i need to go direct to the last line to read some values. Is it possible??
Please help

Hello,
If you know the number of the line you want to read, I can sugget you to use the MORE dos command or the TAIL unix command that redirect to a temporary text file
Example to create a file that contains the 200010th last lines :
(Client)Host( 'MORE the_file_name.txt +200010 > small_file.txt') ;So you have only to read the small file with the TEXT_IO functions.
