How to get Unix timestamp?

Hi All,
Didn't find any solution with a search so asking if somebody's already implemented a method to get a Unix timestamp in BPEL? It's a number of seconds since Jan-1-1970. I'm quite new to BPEL so any help is appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Philipp

Hi Philipp,
One approach can be to use Java embedding in BPEL to get Unix timestamp.

How to get modification timestamp of user in GAL

Hi,
Sorry for bothering you but I have one more question.
In general I have performance issue. I am downloading users from GAL with all details and it takes about 3h. GAL has about 17000 users. I didn't found any solution to make it faster.
But in next sync I would like to get data only for modified users but I don't know how to do it efficiently.
Now I will describe more details.
<pseudocode>
Foreach( var addressEntry in Application.Session.AddressLists[…].AddressEntries)
Var eu = addressEntry.GetExchangeUser()
Var props = addressEntry.PropertyAccessor.GetProperties(…)
LocalDb.SaveContact(addressentry, eu, props)
The most time expensive part is :
addressEntry.PropertyAccessor.GetProperties(…)
,it takes 2,5h. I would like in next “Download Process” download only modified entires but I don’t know how to get the timestamp efficiently. The timestamp is available using this:
addressEntry.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty(“http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x30080040“)
, but this is as slow as
addressEntry.PropertyAccessor.GetProperties(…)
, so there is no sense to check the timestamp and if it is old ask for properties.
Can I get the timestamp information in other way, more efficiently?

Mots address book providers (GAL included) are not very good with restrictions.
GAL address book provider does not really do anything that you cannot do through the Active Directory interfaces. You should be able to run AD queries that use the "last modified time" attribute.

How to get a Timestamp that is 2 weeks ago?

Hi,
How to get a Timestamp that is 2 weeks before the current timestamp?
Using either Timestamp or java.sql.Date.
Thanks.

You don't use either of those to do calendar arithmetic. You use java.util.Calendar and GregorianCalendar instead. Here's a fragment that should get you started:Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.add(Calendar.DATE, -14);
Timestamp = new Timestamp(c.getTime().getTime());

How to get correct timestamps on RT controllers

I am using a PXI-8106 controller. The time on this RT controller is manually set by RT Set Date and Time. Then, I use Get Date/Time in Seconds to get timestamps. These timestamps are always incorrect by a few hours due to some unnecessary time zone consideration. If I use Get Date/Time String, it shows the correct time but I need correct timestamps, not strings. I tried to convert the strings back to timestamps but I got the wrong time again. Is there any standard or generic way to deal with this?

The Current Time is Incorrect on My LabVIEW Real-Time Controller

If you are using a computer to talk to the PXI, LabVIEW will automatically adjust timestamps when moving them from the PXI to the computer (or vice versa) based on the timezone set on each system.

That might be a bit misleading. LabVIEW does no timestamp correction of any sorts like your message implies. LabVIEW timestamps are simply a number of seconds since midnight Jan 4, 1904 UTC. So they are always related to UTC. Considering that the clock on two systems is set right, a timestamp on system 1 will be the same on the second system independent of any timezone settings. It's in the interpretation of the timestamp into a printable time string where timezones get into the game and can mess up a lot. And by default LabVIEW always uses the timezone to translate a timestamp into a local time string, which if the system from which the timestamp comes is located in a different timezone, will show the local time at the displaying system at the moment when the timestamp was generated on the remote system.

Getting Absolute timestamps from FPGA 7831R

I am using a LIN card in my PXI Chassis. This is not an NI product and it cannot access any triggering lines. The device itself returns an array of timestamped measurements but the problem is that the are relative timestamps. I need to have an absolute timestamp so that I can compare timing with other DAQ devices. The only way I can access this is by using a 5V trigger output line. I can set this to trigger on each identifier.
My problem is how to acquire an absolute timestamp. I would not need to get one very often. once every few seconds would be sufficient at worst case.
I have used an M series card analog input which can be triggered and this has given good results.
But I have to use this card for other measurements at the same time so I cannot normally use it as I wish.
The only other option that I have is an FPGA card. RIO 7831R.
Does anyone know how to get absolute timestamps from such a card without having to connect it to any other card?
This would be a great help.
Thanks in advance
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
You can make product suggestions using links on the following web page:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/EDA7C01C684ACB6286256FF0000238D5?OpenDocument
I'm not sure there is anything else we can do to help you - the only other alternative would be to use the FPGA board to monitor this trigger line, and when it sees a trigger fires an IRQ to the host program which is waiting on this - and then at this point get the current time in software.
I'm not sure that there is a more accurate way of getting this timing information, as it seems its just a limitation of this LIN card that you have.

Unix timestamp in cfgrid

Sometime ago I produced a php and SQL jobsite. Users apply
for jobs and the date they apply is converted into a unix timestamp
and inserted into the SQL as an integer.
I am now using coldfusion increasingly more, and am wanting
to display the results above using a cfgrid.
Although I have found similar posts in this forum I still
have two oustanding queries:
1) How do I catch the date for each row before the cfgrid
displays it
2) How to convert unix timestamp using coldfusion

what db? does it have this functionality? for sql server
something like should
work (but again watch for overflow):
SELECT
dateAdd(second,yourUnixEpochOffsetDataColumn,'1-jan-1970') as
aDate,....
FROM yourTable
> How can I extract this value to then feed into
"yourUnixEpochOffsetData".
if your db can't handle this, here's one way using cf (but
the db is cheaper).
do your normal cfquery then:
- convert the unix epoch offsets to datetimes:
unixEpoch=createDate(1970,1,1);
newDates=arrayNew(1);
for (i=1; i LTE yourRegularcfQuery.recordCount;i=i+1) {
newDates
=dateAdd("s",yourRegularcfQuery.yourUnixEpochOffsetDataColumn,unixEpoch);
depending on your needs, you might also want to dateFormat
the results of the
dataAdd:
newDates
=dateFormat(dateAdd("s",yourRegularcfQuery.yourUnixEpochOffsetDataColumn,unixEpoch));
- add a column to your cfquery & fill with those
converted dates,
queryAddColumn(yourRegularcfQuery,"aDate","date",newDates);

How to get the last received notification timestamp when app in background

Hi All,
We are developing the app in windows phone Silverlight 8.1.
We need to show the last received notification time stamp even when the app is in background.
When the app in foreground, I can get the timestamp.
Since we cant write the background task for the Silverlight phone 8.1 app, I don't know how to get the time stamp of the last
notification(toast/livetile/badge) in the app for display.
Can anyone help on this.
Thanks,
Meena

Yes, continuous background execution is not supported but you can use background tasks.
(Continuous background execution in this context refers to the special run state permitted for GPS Navigation apps.)

How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.

Hi,
I don't know if this works:
perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.
perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'. "put length of your line from-to
... download ...
It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.
Hope it works,
Chang

How do I get a timestamp for each daq counter measurement?

Hello, I am currently using DAQmx to read a PWM signal and calculate the pulse width using the implicit timer. Is it possible to also get the timestamp of each pulse width measurement? I have been able to do this with an analog signal by using a waveform output, but I can't figure out how to do this with a counter measurement. Thanks in advance for the help!

I think that you have asked a great question. Something that many engineers may not be aware of is that the DAQ device itself does not actually create the time stamp. It is created by the comptuer system when the data is retreived from the DAQ card. Because of this, the time stamp is actually delayed by a significant amount. This delay may be less than the resolution for time stamps (one millisecond) but it can sometimes be greater than that. This Knowledge Base article discusses it this in more detail: http://ae.natinst.com/public.nsf/web/searchinternal/5d42ccb17a70a06686256dba007c5eea?OpenDocument
If your pulses are closely spaced, the generating a timestamp for each aquisition is not practical. But, if your pulses are spread apart by a significant amount (more than 0.1 seconds or so depending on the specifics) then the timestamp might be accurate enough to be practical. One way to do that with counters would be to use the Get Date/Time in Seconds VI in LabVIEW just after the DAQmx Read VI. Then, once the Counter Input measurement is complete, LabVIEW will create that timestamp very quickly afterward. Please notice that there will be some time delay between the completion of the read and the creation of the time stamp.

How to get timestamp in OEG filter ?

Hi, may I have another question(sorry for pretty much of questions):
In OEG, how could I get a timestamp(can OEG generate timestamp?) within OEG and assign its value into my SOAP message.
Thank....

You can use the Utility > Scripting filter
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
importPackage(Packages.com.vordel.common.util);
var UTC_DATE_FORMAT_WITH_MS = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'";
function invoke(msg) {
var timestamp = SimpleDateFormatPool.formatGMT(UTC_DATE_FORMAT_WITH_MS , msg.get("message.reception_time"));
msg.put("timestamp", timestamp);
return true;
}

How to get name or unix id of last switched System Events process?

Hello
I am writing a script to be used as an idle function to send a command to a process as soon as it's not frontmost anymore. So far, I can figure how to get the unix id or name of the frontmost process, but not of the previous process . Here is what I have:
on idle {}
my handleProcesses()
return 5 --- '5' tells idle () to run every 5 seconds.
end idle
on handleProcesses()
tell application "System Events"
set FrontApp to (get name of every process whose frontmost is true)
set PrevApp to (get name of previous process)
end tell
--- my command here, like tell PrevApp to hide...
end handleProcesses
My problem is that "previous process" is not in the System Events dictionary. I cannot use "frontmost if false" either, because this would return all other opened applications, not just the previous one.
I know one partial solution would be to use Command-Tab, get the name of frontmost, and use Command-tab again. But, it's not really pratical nor elegant.
What I need is a function which can get my frontmost process name (which is easy), and return it when the process is inactive (no more frontmost).
Thanks.
Vic

You can do what you want if you maintain a record yourself of what used to be frontmost:
tell application "System Events"
set FrontApp to (get name of every process whose frontmost is true)
set lastFrontApp to FrontApp
repeat while FrontApp = lastFrontApp
set FrontApp to (get name of every process whose frontmost is true)
end repeat
set BackApps to (get name of every process whose frontmost is not true)
if lastFrontApp is in BackApps then
--the app is open in the background
else
--the app was closed
end if
end tell
