Java date conversion interesting

HI ,
I am facing an issue in date conversion i recieve date from webservices in the below format
**2008-06-22T18:11:00.000-04:00**
when i recieve the calender object and dot get
date=calenderObj.getTime();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = null;
          String formatedStr = "";
          try{
               dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( formatToConvert );
               formatedStr = dateFormat.format( date );
}catch(){}
Date gets postponed to more date
i.e i get 2008-06-23

This is the format of date i am receiving 2008-06-22T18:11:00.000-04:00 through webserivcesAs a String, java.util.Data, java.sql.Date or what? The class of the object matters.
The calender object that is sent by webservies is automatically converted to date 2008-06-23By what?

but if the fromat of date is sent in this pattern 2008-06-22 calender object that is created shows proper date any idea why this happens
Edited by: Vicky on Jan 23, 2012 12:26 AMSorry Vicky but you have added nothing further to your original problem. You need to show exactly what you are doing and explain exactly what the class of each object is and exactly the content of each object and exactly what you expect and exactly what you actually get.

Conversion of Packed Decimal Numbers to Java Data Types

Hi all,
I'm working with a mainframe file which contains datas in Packed Decimal Numbers.My requirement is to convert these datas to Java datatypes and also to convert the Java datatypes to Packed Decimal Numbers before storing them in the mainframe.
Can anyone help me out with any code for converting Java data types to/from other data formats such as: EBCDIC, IBM370 COMP (binary numbers up to 9 digits), and COMP-16 (packed decimal numbers)?
I would hugely appreciate any response to my query.
Thanking you all,
Kaushik.

Rather than go that route, I'd instead look into providing a "service" on your mainframe to:
1) provide a textual representation of the numbers (from native to text)
2) read text, converting to native numeric storage
And use that service to retrieve that information by your Java app (1)Similarly, instead of trying to write natively-formatted numbers from your Java app, I'd write it as text and make that same "service" read the text (2)
This is the kind of thing XML is for.

Date Conversion from GMT to Local and Local To GMT considering DST.

Hi,
I have a application which displays the time in GMT across all the screens,and saves in Local/Default TimeZone as application would be deployed in europe and India.I have written a utility which does the conversion.
I just want to know that how to handle the Daylight Saving Time[DST] as we are taking the data from database and converting it to LocalTime Zone.This works fine but what would happen if the sever time is changes due to DST.There would be problem between the object saved before the DST and after DST because we are simply converting stored time to GMT to show on the screen.
Please share if you some solution/suggestions.
Thanks.

That statement is phrased oddly.
A java.util.Date uses a UTC offset with millisecond resolution.
A jdbc driver converts that value into a "correct" value for the target database.And from.
The form that is stored in the database is entirely database dependent. The actual form stored in the database can take many forms.True, but it is highly likely to be an offset from some "epoch" (Progress, for example, uses 00:00:00 1/1/-3714 UTC as I recall, and has 1-second granularity).Yes but as I said the phrasing was odd. A timestamp, by definition, must be an offset of something. Doesn't matter how it is represented. After all the year 2009 is an offset in the Gregorian calander.
However in terms of actual storage the way it is stored is unlikely to be similar to what Java does. As examples neither Oracle nor MS SQL Server uses a single numeric offset.
It might not even have a concept of timezone.Again true, although I've yet to come across one; and since OP is only concerned about the timezone in Java I'm not quite sure how relevant that is.
Relevant in terms of the description in terms of what java does, what the database does and how it gets from java to the database.
I would also expect any JDBC driver that cannot translate to or from a Java date correctly to document the fact in 60-point bold type, since it's a violation of the implied contract of ResultSet.getDate().Except that depends on your definition of "correct".
Examples of that
- Oracle doesn't have millisecond resolution at all in its common format.
- MS SQL Server doesn't have the same resolution as java, instead there is an odd resolution (one three-hundredth of a second).
- MS SQL Server doesn't have timezones, so if you don't take care and your data crosses timezones the timestamp will be different.
The drivers will not warn you of things like that. At least not that I have seen.

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

can any help it out in this senario.

Sorry Butterbean, but I'm interested in the answer to your question myself.
I've spent a few hours transfering my library from one computer to another and then find out that my ratings didn't transfer. Like you, I've spent many hours rating my 2000+ songs. I'm sure you have more, nevertheless, I want to find out how to get those ratings. They still show in my iTunes on my laptop but, when I go to the iTunes folder and display the details of at song, no rating is there. If you find out how to get them to display there in the iTunes folder, it seems that would be the key.
Hope you get your answer soon.

Why java date starts from jan-1970

I want to know that why in java date starts with january 1970 .what it specifies

It would be interesting to know how dates like
1582-10-15 "Originally, the COBOL programming language did not come with built-in time and date functions. However, since Y2K new functions have been introduced using integer dates, although with two different epochs. ANSI dates use 1601-01-01 as day 1. Lilian dates use 1582-10-15 as day 1"
and 1858-11-17 were chosen."The OpenVMS Alpha operating system counts intervals of 100 nanoseconds since the Modified Julian Day epoch, 1858-11-17, 00:00:00.00 UTC. However, it is only incremented every 10 milliseconds, 100,000 intervals (10,000,000 ns) at a time. OpenVMS VAX (formerly VAX/VMS) uses the beginning of the current year as the epoch."

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Ramaa

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

Otherwise if it has to be converted identifying the POs under this scenario, you may consider converting those maintaining receipt close tolerance as 100% and matching type as 2 -way (again business approval needed to handle audit issues) in order to avoid the receipts/delivery conversion etc.<br>
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB<br>Ideally returns can be done using Miscellaneous/Account Alias Issues specifying the appropriate transaction reasons to clarify the scenario.<br>

How to do sorting/filtering on custom java data source implementation

Hi,
I have an entity driven view object whose data should be retrieved and populated using custom java data source implementation. I've done the same as said in document. I understand that Query mode should be the default one (i.e. database tables) and createRowFromResultSet will be called as many times as it needs based on the no. of data retrieved from service, provided we should write the logic for hasNextForCollection(). Implementation sample code is given below.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams) {
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
protected boolean hasNextForCollection(Object qc) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
if (datumItr != null && datumItr.hasNext()){
return true;
setCallService(false);
setFetchCompleteForCollection(qc, true);
return false;
protected ViewRowImpl createRowFromResultSet(Object qc, ResultSet resultSet) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
Object datumObj = datumItr.next();
ViewRowImpl r = createNewRowForCollection(qc);
return r;
Everything is working fine include table sorting/filtering. Then i noticed that everytime when user perform sorting/filtering, executeQueryForCollection is called, which in turn calls my service. It is a performance issue. I want to avoid. So i did some modification in the implementation in such a way that, service call will happen only if the callService flag is set to true, followed by executeQuery(). Code is given below.
private boolean callService = false;
public void setCallService(boolean callService){
this.callService = callService;
public boolean isCallService(){
return callService;
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams){
if (callService)
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
Issue i have:
When user attempts to use table sort/filter, since i skipped the service call and set null as userDataCollection, createRowFromResultSet is not called and data which i retrieved and populated to view object is totally got vanished!!. I've already retrived data and created row from result set. Why it should get vanished? Don't know why.
Tried solution:
I came to know that query mode should be set to Scan_Entity_Cache for filtering and Scan_View_Rows for sorting. I din't disturb the implementation (i.e. skipping service call) but overrided the executeQuery and did like the following code.
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_ENTITY_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
By doing this, i could able to do table filtering but when i try to use table sorting or programmatic sorting, sorting is not at all applied.
I changed the code like beolw*
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
Now sorting is working fine but filtering is not working in an expected way because Scan_View_rows will do further filtering of view rows.
Question:
I don't know how to achieve both filtering and sorting as well as skipping of service call too.
Can anyone help on this?? Thanks in advance.

          int days = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
          System.out.println("New date is:"); // Need to print new date
Expected output:

New date is: 04/20/2007If this is not possible with this class,how can we do this, any ideas.
Your help would be appreciated.

}I have swapped the day and month around from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy

Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Sudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.
regards
Sridhar

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
AB
