How to get the time difference (in seconds) between two timestamp fields?

Hi All,
I'm exploring validation expressions in SAP MDM Data Manager version 7.1.07.245
I have two timestamp fields, suppose Update Date and Update-GDS.
What I'm trying to do is prompt a warning when:
(Update Date minus Update-GDS) is greater than or equal to zero seconds
AND
(Update Date minus Update-GDS) is less than or equal to 900 seconds
the bottomline is, Update Date must be equal or greater than to Update-GDS but Update Date must not exceed 900 seconds difference.
my initial try was:
(Update Date - Update-GDS)>=0 s AND (Update Date - Update-GDS)<=900 s
But it always returns true even the time difference between update date and update-gds is beyond the condition.
Can you please guide me through this?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
~erwin

Hi Abhishek,
I tried your code but it always returns true.
It seems subtraction of timestamp fields do not actually get the time difference... (in seconds)
Is this possible anyway? Or is there any other better approach on this?
Thanks,

How to write a query to get the time difference of two varchar type time columns

Hi,
I want to get the time difference between the two varchar type columns.please see the attached image for more details:
My requirement is like:
timestarted
timeended
timediff
9:00:00
10:00:00
1:00
9:15
9:30:00
0:15

Storing time alone as VARCHAR2 value is a incorrect design. Always store it as DATE or TIMESTAMP.
If you already have a messed up design and cant change it, then you need to convert your VARCHAR2 time into a DATE or TIMESTAMP and find the difference. I have converted it to TIMESTAMP and obtained the difference as INTERVAL.

How to get the Time Stamp if we use User Status

Hi Gurus,
We used User Status to control several Orders. Now we are required to get the "time stamp" when we change from one status to another, is that information available in the system?
If not, how do we get the time when a user status is changed from one to another?
please advice,

Hi,
To check such kind of changes you have to follow below path,
Go to Status tab (Blue Ikon) --- >Extra -> Change Documents-> All- --- > Choose All Changes

you can use beans or create a case when statement like:

when TimeStampDiff(SQL_TSI_Min, table.column1, table.column2 ) <= 60 then 1 else
when TimeStampDiff(SQL_TSI_Min, table.column1, table.column2 ) > 60 and TimeStampDiff(SQL_TSI_Min, table.column1, table.column2 ) <= 90 then 1.5 else
when TimeStampDiff(SQL_TSI_Min, table.column1, table.column2 ) > 90 and TimeStampDiff(SQL_TSI_Min, table.column1, table.column2 ) <= 150 then 2.5 else
end

How to get the time length from send record command to record video really?

I have two buttons. Record/Stop
I press Record button to record the video and press Stop
button to stop recording.Now,I spend 1986 ms from press Record
button to press Stop button.
But the flv file's length is 1920 or 1910 or 1915 ms.
So I want to get the time length from send record command to
record video really.
Can you give me some suggests.
Thanks!

maybe you have lag in publishing.... are you try watch de

or start counting when NetStream.onStatus has
"NetStream.Record.Start" and "NetStream.Record.Stop" in information

How do I set Time Machine to alternate between two attached external drives (so that if one fails I will have a separate backup to use)?

Hi Everyone.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Right off the bat let me say I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 on a 2011 Macbook Pro and using all Lacie external hard drives.
I am trying to get Time Machine to alternate between two attached external hard drives, trying to be safe in case one of the backup drives itself fails.
I have both drives set in Time Machine.
From what I gather Time Machine should by default alternate between drives when backing up (I would assume it does one big initial backup on each then subsequent backups are just changes).
But this is not how it seems to be working and I cannot find a straight answer despite much Googling and Foruming
Unfortunately it seems to only be backing up to "External Hard Drive 1".
There have been 4 backups since I set it up, all on "External Hard Drive 1", even though "External Hard Drive 2" is also attached and set in Time Machine.
I manually clicked "Back Up Now" and it started to work on "External Hard Drive 2" (like I want it to) for a minute but it appears to have stopped and gone back to backing up to "External Hard Drive 1".
Am I missing something? Does Time Machine only move on to another disk when the first one runs out of space? Do I have to turn one off in order to force it to back up to the other drive (that would be less convenient of course)?
I am hoping that I am missing something and that it will just alternate between the two. Otherwise it is not the most comforting and thorough backup system as I had hoped when I purchased the additional external hard drive.
I have a 1TB drive and a 500gig partition on another drive, both dedicated to backups (my Macbook HD is 475gig). It will take awhile for each to fill up and who knows what could happen during that time. Having Time Machine alternate between hard drives would be a nice small bit of security if the worst happened.
I realize that there are tons of other options for backing up but I just want to use Time Machine if I can.
Again thank you for your help!

You cannot use Time Machine in that way. I'm not sure where you heard that Time Machine alternates between drives automatically. What you can do is create a mirrored RAID array for the backup. This automatically duplicates whatever is on one drive onto the other drive.
Both drives must be the same size, and prefereably, exactly the same make and model. RAIDs can be configured using OS X's Disk Utility.
RAID Basics
For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
RAID Tutorial;
RAID Array and Server:
Hardware and Service Comparison.
Hardware or Software RAID?
RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
Pros and cons
Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

How to set the time difference between each data when sweeping voltage using keithley 2400

Hello friends,
I am using the sweep vi from Keithley in the SWEEP and Acquire measurement vi.I want to measure the voltage for every step and insert a delay in between every two data, so I need some delay between each I step.
I am a starter to use Labview, thanks so much for your answers.

Keithley 24XX Sweep and Acquire Measurements.vi ‏26 KB

As Dennis said, if you're using the built-in sweep function, you'll have to check the manual. See Section 10-16 (That's section 10 page 16, not sections 10 though 16) of the Keithley 2400 User Manual.
The Keithley 24xx series has a measurement speed in units called PLC (Power Line Cycles). The default speed is 1PLC, meaning a measurement is taken every 1 power line cycle, or 1/60th of a second (16.67ms). 24XX's can go from 0.01 PLC (every 0.16ms) to 10 PLC (every 166.6ms). The faster you measure, the lower precision you get.
To set this value programmatically, the command is
ENSe:CURRent:NPLCycles <n>
ENSe:VOLTage:NPLCycles <n>
depending on what you're sensing and where <n> is the number of PLCs from 0.01 to 10.
Another factor that will determine the time between data points is the SDM cycle. These are more complicated, look at your Keithley user manual for more information. Look at Section 6 and Section 11 for more info.
Note:
PLC times are based on a US cycle of 60Hz.

How to get the time for executing an SQL statement?

hi all...
How can I get the total execution time for a given SQL statement to a ViewObject which is created dynamically for this SQL so that the end user knows it before hand and try to stop it or go further..?
Please post any ideas if you have got..!!!
thanx in advance..

This is not really a question for the JDeveloper forum, but rather for the DB forum.
Since Oracle9i there is a way to estimate how long a query will take, before executing it.
Check it out in the Oracle DB documentation or ask on the DB forum.
There is no built-in functionality for this in JDeveloper, but you should be able to call out to the DB from your Java code to get the estimate.

How to query the number of working days between two dates

I'm looking for a solution to calculate the number of <i>working</i> days between two dates that I can use in a formated search.
Calculating the total number of days is pretty straight forward but does anyone know how to take into account the settings in the HLD1 (Holiday Dates) table?

Hi Eric,
If you are purely looking to exclude holidays defined in the HLD1 table, then you should be able to do it with the following query
NOTE: The following query is an example using OINV table and the fields DOCDATE and DOCDUEDATE for a Particular DOCNUM 'xxx'
If you planning to use within the SAP module then replace DOCDATE and DOCDUEDATE with dynamic field references $[$x.x.x]
SELECT DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDATE,T0.DOCDUEDATE)-
(SELECT COUNT(STRDATE) FROM HLD1 WHERE STRDATE >= T0.DOCDATE AND STRDATE <= T0.DOCDUEDATE)
FROM OINV T0
WHERE T0.DOCNUM = xxx
