How to convert date-time according to the Time Zone the client

Urgent! Help wanted!
I extract a date-time field (which is GMT time) from the central database but I need to convert it accordding to the TimeZone of the user and also the so-called winter time and summer time in the local. Any one has any good solution?
Thanks.

Use a Calendar, Timezone and Locale objects like this,
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Germany/Berlin");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(tz, Locale.GERMAN);
long date = 0; // assign your central database value to this variable
cal.setTime(new Date(date));
Now you can use the Calendar object 'cal' to retrieve the time according to the set locale and timezone.
These objects provide tonnes of features for finding out timezones and day light savings times. So check out the APIs as well.
I hope this helps you out.

How to Change Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User

Hi,
In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.
Please help.

How convert date/time from xml in xdp(Designer)?

Hi, i want to convert date/time format from xml in Designer, date/time value in xml is NOT in common format YYYY-MM-DD (if is in a common format i can do this with pattern)
I have a "DateTime" Field in Xdp can get from Xml date and time:
In XML <DateTime>DD-MM-YYYY</DateTime> i want to convert in XDP in DateTime Field in "DD-April-YYYY"
Can i do this?

You can do this way..
Bind the date field to your XML tag.
Set the display pattern for the date field.
In the initialize event of the date field place the following code.
Set JavaScript as language.
var dtStr = this.rawValue;
var pos1=dtStr.indexOf("-");
var pos2=dtStr.indexOf("-",pos1+1);
var strMonth=dtStr.substring(0,pos1);
var strDay=dtStr.substring(pos1+1,pos2);
var strYear=dtStr.substring(pos2+1);
//Assign the formatted value to the Date field.
this.rawValue = strYear + "-" + strMonth + "-" + strDay;
Thanks

How to Convert Date (DD.MM.YYYY) to be just DD

Hi experts,
I have no idea how to convert Date format (DDMMYYYY) to be just DD.
Example:
I have date: 31.10.2009
now i just want to show in report as 31.
I just known if we just want to show month only, we could use the 0CALMONTH2. but how if i need the day only?
Are there any way, either in query (BEx) or modeling (Routine/Formula in Update Rules or Transfer Rules) which could fulfill the requirement?
Many thanks..

How to Convert Date to Month in Database which is pointing to EBS, Not DWH.

Hi Friends,
We are planning to create reports in OBIEE and the Source is EBS. That means, we don’t want to depends on Datawarehouse and Informatica and OBIApps. We just create some reports and they are pointing to EBS database.
For testing purpose, we have taken one HR Report and it containsthe below columns:
Month (Dim)
Revenue Per Employee Headcount (Fact)
Average Cost per Active Workforce Headcount (Fact)
In my little investigation, we found that Revenue column is coming from EBS: GL_BALANCES. And we configured W_Day_D base table in DAC as there is no Month column in EBS (Not sure).
*** Coming to my problem, how can I call Month column in my database pointed to EBS. How to convert Date to Month in my database.
I could be wrong but anyone please look into this issue.. How can I create columns for that exact OBI report in EBS database instead of DwH.
Thanks in Advance..
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Veeresh,
You are right. Here, no need of using W_DAY_D table, but, we need all the stuff from the table and to explain my problem i have taken that table as an example. Now, we ran scripts for W_MONTH_D and W_DAY_D tables with EBS columns. So, we are getting data for the tables. In the same manner we have to create scripts for the below tables.
W_GL_ACCOUNT_D
W_GL_OTHER_F
W_STATUS_D
W_MCAL_DAY_D
W_EMPLOYMENT_STAT_CAT_D
W_WRKFC_BAL_A
W_DAY_D (Completed)
W_MONTH_D (Completed)
But, we are not aware of EBS Tables and their columns much. So, we are back tracing from RpD --> DAC --> Info --> EBS for each and every column and its taking much time.
So, if anyone of you facing the same issue, please share the EBS tables for the corresponding OBI tables, which are mentioned above.

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

Three methods:
File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use of a brush made in PSE is very efficient
