How to set a date variable to "top of the next hour"?

hi
i have a idler script that i want to continually run. at the moment it idles for an hour, then runs the "on idle" handler.
what i would prefer is to set this to the "top of the next hour", for any hour. e.g. if its 4:35, it would set it to 5:00. is there a simple, standard way of doing this, or will i need to do some maths to get to the result?
regards

Hello
Using idle handler, you'd need to calculate the seconds to the next hour.
Something like the below.
Cheers,
H
--CODE
on idle
-- code for idle handler here
set t to (current date)'s time -- current time
set d to (t div 3600 + 1) * 3600 - t -- seconds to the next hour
return d -- wait until then
end idle
--END OF CODE

  • How do I transfer data from one pg to the next pg?

    I have a registration page that I would like to go to a
    welcome page when registration is complete. The welcome page will
    say "Welcome (name) your new username and password are (user &
    pwd)". I have tried unsuccessfully using cookies to populate the
    welcome page. Since the user will only see this welcome page one
    time, is there some other way to do this? Can I get the needed
    fields from my database? BTW - the registration page works just
    fine.

    What scripting language are you using? Why not use session
    variables?

  • How to set a session variable

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to set a session variable for the following purpose.
    At the top of my application I have a "Welcome <username>" I'd like it instead to have "Welcome <firstname> <lastname>".
    So the concept would be after the user logs in succesfully this session variable is dynamically set so it can be displayed.

    Hi Scott,
    I realize that I can set items etc in pages. The case I'm referring to is a reference in a template. My template has a "Welcome <user name>" ... so the code looks like "Welcome &APP_USER." Anyway to make it say "Welcome first_name last_name" in the template? Note I'll have to get the first/last names from a query
    Thanks,

            I am calling function 'HR_FORMS_TIM_GET_B2_RESULTS' in the program , its input parameter is BEGDA, I transfer a date variable to BEGDA, but does not work. can not get any data. but if I run this function in SE37, I input date '20140807', successfully get result.  please tell me how to set this DATS parameter?

    Hi,
    You might be passing the date in '12.12.2014' or '12/12/2014' format. Please
    use the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_BEGDA_INPUT' to convert the date
    to internal format and then pass it to the function module.

  • How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

    How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
    The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
    <map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
    jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
    jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
    jdbc_port="1522"
    jdbc_user="mvdemo"
    jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
    jdbc_mode="thin"
    number_of_mappers="3"
    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
    editable="true"/>
    <!--  ****  -->
    But it does not work.
    After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
    Does anyone know it?
    Thanks,

    For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
    //mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
    - MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
      <map_data_source name="myds"
        jdbc_host="foo.com"
        jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
        jdbc_port="1522"
      />
    For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
    i.e. instead of using
    <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
                       jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
                       jdbc_port="1522"
                       jdbc_user="mytestuser"
                       jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
                       jdbc_mode="thin"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    use
      <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
    Property
    url  jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
    Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
    Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
    Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

    Dear Experts,
    Scenario:
    I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
    As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
    Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
    Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA)  greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM  DATE (BEGDA).
    Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA)  less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM  DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
    Technical Requirement:
    How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
    Following is the code to describe date field in my application.

  • How to set default date value to a field on screen

    How to set default date value to a field on screen and allow users to modify it ....

    Hello,
    In the PAI module, you need to save the changes to the database using the command MODIFY.
    Follow an example:
    Create or change a message in database table T100. If there is no message with the number 100 in the MYMSGCLASS message class in English, it will be created. Otherwise only the text is changed.
    DATA message_wa TYPE t100.
    message_wa-sprsl = 'EN'.
    message_wa-arbgb = 'MYMSGCLASS'.
    message_wa-msgnr =  '100'.
    message_wa-text =  'Some new message ...'.
    MODIFY t100 FROM message_wa.
    Regards.

  • How do you download data from your macbook to the ipad?

    how do you transfer data from your macbook to the ipad?

    What data do you want to transfer ? Music, films, tv shows, photos and ibooks are done by syncing in iTunes (for which there is some help in the iPad manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Documents can also be done via iTunes, but it depends upon the app and the transfer method(s) that it supports e.g. file sharing via the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, cloud services, email attachments etc
    Edit : have you got the Keynote app on your iPad, or any other app that supports keynote presentations ? Without a 'suporting' app you can't store a document/file on the iPad (unlike computers files have to be stored within an app)..

  • How do I get calendar to forward birthdays to the next year?

    How do I get calendar to forward birthdays to the next year without having to type them all in again?

    Either set a repeating date on the event (repeat every 1 year) or set the birthday field in your contacts on iOS & OS X, then enable the birthday calendar in the  settings. I have no idea how to do this on Windows, so you will need to provide more info about what you are using if you are really on Windows.
    We'll get this moved somewhere more appropriate if you say what device & OS you are using.
