Need milli seconds part in XSLT Date Function current-dateTime()

Hi All,
I am calling date function, current-dateTime() in XSL. The output format is 2012-04-05T16:38:01-07:00 (Without milli seconds)
How to get the milli seconds part...?
Regards,
Sudheer

Hi Arik....
At last i got it. :)
Followed the below steps.
Step1:
Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
Step2:
I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
//Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
Step3:
Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
Step4:
Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
Step5:
Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
uh-huh I got the output...
Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...

Sudheer

How to get accurate date on current-dateTime function?

I am new to oracle ESB. Using a DBAdapter, was trying to populate a table row column with sysdate. So, used current-dateTime in xsl mapping. Works well, I can insert time, but this time is always 1 hour greater than current time. Is there something I need to do without substracting 1 hour from it?
We have the server & the application running in the same time zone.
Please suggest.

ESB is always trouble when trying to debug these issues.
If you go to enterprise manager. When you login you should see a link to oc4j_soa, select this. If not select home.
Select the Administration tab.
Select the Logger Configuration link.
search on esb, make sure it is lower case.
Find the entry oracle.tip.esb.server.service, make change the logging level to fine.
This should display the variables being passed in the xml.log file.
Is the time zone the same as the database?
Its looking like you might have to raise a SR for this as the application should not be changing the time.

Help XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations

Hi guys,
I need help in oracle ESB (XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations). I need to use the XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations using Response XML to Request XML.
Thanks
Vyas

The concept is the same as BPEL. Without going into too much detail have a look at the folowing tutorial.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28212/buildendtoend.htm#BEICEFJD
Near the bottom they show how to do transformations.

Current datetime in xslt

Hi ,
I want to get the current datetime during my xlst tranform. I used the below codes but can not get it .
xslt 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet ...
xmlns:ex="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times" extension-element-prefixes="ex">
<xsl:value-of select="ex:date-time()"/> ...
</xsl:stylesheet>
error i got: the function date-time() can not be found.
xlst 2.0
<xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()"/>
error i got : the function current-dateTime() can not be found.
Does anyone know how i can solve this problem? Any example or suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

If that piece of xslt has any chance to succeed, you have to do either one of the modification.
[1] Either you change the version attribute to 2.0. Oracle xslt processor is one of the earliest to get xslt 2.0 support at the time it is still a working draft. I think current-dateTime() xslt 2.0 function should be supported.
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"[2] There are quite a bit of oracle proprietary extensions there. Hence, if you understand the suggestion(s) all along, it should do the task without appealing to the other extensions which may have their own functions to get the current date-time. This is how you should do for a test, keeping the version="1.0" unchanged.

Shuttle - how can I insert data in database from second part of shuttle ?

I have read it: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=35253:1:2820687553996558::NO but I don't understand shuttle.
My shuttle name is 'P3_SHUTTLE'. I have created shuttle by clicking (Create Item -> Shuttle -> next -> etc.). In first part of shuttle I have all elements from some table in database. In second part of shuttle I have choiced elements from first part of shuttle (as in each normal simply shuttle). I would like insert elements from second part of shuttle when somebody clicked button (which I have created). I have created process for this button type PL/SQL anonymous block. In field source of this process I have written:
DECLARE
BEGIN
FOR z in 1..htmldb_application.g_f02.count loop
INSERT INTO books(id_book) VALUES(htmldb_application.g_f02(z));
END LOOP;
END;
but it doesn't work (I don't know what is 'htmldb_application.g_f02.count' - it was in yours example).
So I have tried:
DECLARE
BEGIN
FOR z in 1..P3_SHUTTLE.pSQL_2.count loop
INSERT INTO books(id_book) VALUES(P3_AKTORZY.pSQL_2(z));
END LOOP;
END;
P3_SHUTTLE it is name of my shuttle
but this code also doesn't work :( HELP please :(

I have APEX 3.1.2.
I have tried:
DECLARE
l_selected HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
l_selected := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(1));
FOR I IN 1..l_selected.count
LOOP
INSERT INTO BOOKS (ID_BOOK) VALUES (l_selected(I));
END LOOP;
END;
It doesn't work. I have and error: 'No data found'. But you have written about name attribute. In view of code my page with shuttle I have that code about second part of shuttle:
<td class="shuttleSelect2">
<select multiple="multiple" name="p_v03" size="10" id="P3_SHUTTLE_RIGHT" ondblclick="g_Shuttlep_v03.remove()">
<option value="5">Aaa Aaa</option>
<option value="2">Bbb Bbb</option>
<option value="1">Eee Eee</option>
</select>
</td>
So I have tried in above code use: HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_p_v03 and HTMLDB_APPLICATION.p_v03 but I have an error:
'G_P_V03' must be declared or 'P_V03' must be declared :(

Date function in XSLT

Hi All,
I am trying to use date function in XSLT, I am using the below code, please correct me if i am wrong
<corecom:EffectiveDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373,"[YYYY][M01][D01]")'/>
</corecom:EffectiveDate>
Regards
Francis

Hi Francis,
It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code itself, but what's the content of ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373 ???
The xp20:format-dateTime function will work if the date on the first parameter is on ISO 8601 format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Examples
1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time.
1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.

Need 'Creation Date' function in '09

I'm looking for a formula that automatically generates the date in a cell, when data is entered in an adjacent cell. Currently, whenever data is entered into A1 for example, B2 displays the current date using the 'TODAY' function, but that will change to the current day automatically. I need it to show the day data was entered into A1, and stay that way. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder if you could please assist me. I tried the online 'contact us" I
chose my iPad - but when I need to chose the second part - it does not give
me any options - hence I cannot go further?
My kindle does not want to open on my iPad. When I touch it - a grey screen
with kindle written in the middle appear for a few seconds. Then goes away.
I have restarted the iPad - still the same? What else can I do?
Thanks
Maryna

Judging by the reviews of the current version of the Kindle app you aren't the only one haveing problems with it - it looks like Amazon need to fix something with the app.
Have you tried closing the Kindle app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Kindle app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also try deleting the app and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (you will then need to redownload your books in the app, assuming that it opens).

Print date with milli seconds

I want to print the sysdate with milli seconds also
Please help me

Hi
I also have come up with the same requierment. But we
are not to use the SYSTIMESTAMP. Is it possible to
get miliseconds info using SYSDATE only?
I have tried to search on SQL User guide, they give
their date and time element formats like 'mm/dd/rrrr
hh24:mi;ss:ff' but the format mask :ff works only for
the timestamp variable like SYSTIMESTAMP not for
SYSDATE or date variables.
Thanks
regards
AbhivyaktiHi,
They are correct. Read a bit more about DATE and TIMESTAMP and you will clearly see why you can't have milliseconds on a simple DATE datatype.

Converting time stamp in SECONDS to a calendar date format.. problems

Hello. I'm trying to convert a long interger that represents the number of SECONDS passed since the 1970 date
the number was originally generated by php's mktime() function
one of the numbers I have for example is this : 1126933200
I haven't done the math but this is a date probably around september of 2005.. it's irrelevant anyhow.
I want to convert this to a date format I can use in java. I've tried to create a new date like so :
Date date = new Date(1126933200);
I've also tried it with the calendar method like so :
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(1126933200);
it was only then that I realized that both these methods require the number of MILLI seconds. So I tried doing a simple multiplication by 1000 on my original number and then I started getting a "integer number too large" error when trying to compile.
so i'm kind of at a loss here.. i figure I could make a function myself that would divide my number in days of 86400 seconds.. and then i'd have to keep in mind the bisectal (sp) and the months with more and less days etc.. but i'm sure there must be an easier way.
and i don't get why a method who's meant to receive a very long number is giving me an error when i try to give one to it.
your help is appreciated as always. thanks

Note you also need to define what timezone that seconds number represents.
With Gregorian it is going to use the local timezone (the code here will anyways). The code using Date is using the UTC timezone.

I am trying to check the last date (i.e. max date) and also check the penultimate date (i.e. the second to the last date). And then find the difference between the two (i.e. last date minus penultimate
date).
I would like to do that for each of the companies listed in Table 2: Tickers. I am able to do it for just one company (MSFT) using the queries below:
SELECT
[First] = MIN(ExDate),
[Last] = MAX(ExDate),
[Diff] = DATEDIFF(DAY, MIN(ExDate), MAX(ExDate))
FROM (
SELECT TOP 2 Dividends.ExDate
FROM Dividends, Tickers
WHERE Dividends.symId=Tickers.symId
AND Tickers.Symbol='MSFT'
ORDER BY ExDate DESC
) AS X
Outputs the following result:
First
Last
Diff
2012-11-13
2013-02-19
98
But what I would like instead is to be able to output something like this:
Symbol
First
Last
Diff
MSFT
2012-11-13
2013-02-19
98

2012-11-13

Can anyone please let me know what do I need to add on my query in order to achieve the desired output?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

insert into Ticker (Symbol) values ('MSFT'), ('ORCL'), ('GOOG')
create table Dividend (DividendId int identity, SymbolId int constraint FK_Dividend foreign key references Ticker(SymbolId), ExDate datetime, Amount decimal(18,4))

My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
--------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
<%!
String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
return simpleDate.format(d);
%>
<%
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
%>
---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
something like
rdate = <%= dateString %>
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

There are sql functions upper & lower.
SELECT name FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

IS_Data Insight View Data Function Limitation

Hi Experts,
Is there any limitation to view data of a table using View Data function in Data Insight module in Information Steward. I come across a strange issue with this, the details are explained below.
I am trying to perform Data profiling on table, as part of this I imported table into a Data Insight project. When i tried to view data of a table using View Data function, it is showing blank like (0 from 998987). I am able able to see data in database and even in DS designer too.
Then i created a view on top of this table by selecting all columns and tried to view data, again showed blank. Then i removed some columns in view and tried, now it showed data. The table contains 150 columns, I used around 110 columns in view.
My question here is, is there any limitations in Data Insight for viewing data apart 500 records. Will View Data function consider the number of Rows or the size of data to display the data. If it consider these two, is there any option available in IS to control these two parameters i.e., increase / decrease the size or no of rows.
If anyone come across with this issue, could you please help me if any solutions to fix this.
Thanks,
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

Hello Rama,
In IS 4.2 this limitation is actually stated.
See here: IS_421_user_en.pdf in Related Information section pg 44 which states that:
The software displays only 500 records when you view data from an SAP table.
Also more details available in section: 2.5.10.2 Limit of 500 records when viewing data from SAP tables.
The software displays only 500 records when you view data from an SAP table.
Views that contain SAP tables have the potential to be quite large, especially when they are joined with other SAP tables. The limit of 500 records when viewing data prevents your computer from hanging or never completing the task because the tables were too large.
In addition to the 500 records limit, you can take steps to enhance performance in the following ways:
● Reduce the size of the file by mapping fields, join conditions, filters, and so on to limit the data in the table to information that you really need.
● Use SAP ABAP-supported functions in forming expressions in views. Using non-supported functions is allowed, but doing so may adversely affect performance.
● Use the View Data filter tools when you view and export data from SAP tables.
With the 500 records limit for viewing SAP table data, there is a potential for no records showing up in the View Data window.
This could happen, for example, when the view contains a child view, the child view contains one or more SAP tables, and a join is set up to join the entire data set.
A message appears at the top of the View Data window that instructs you to export the data to an external source (text file, CSV, or Excel file) to view all of the records.
I hope this is helpful.

Date function in DI

Hi all
I need to get only date part of the a global value which is of DateTime type. I checked the DI functions, but couldn't find what I was looking for there. Date_part function returns part of the date value in int format, but I need it as a DateTime type but just without time part. I tested a few ways, but didn't work. For example I have '2009-05-01 12:58:00.000' , but I wan to have '2009-05-12' as a date.
But how?
Thank you.

A variable of type datetime always has a time associated with it, but you can 'drop' the time component (i.e. set it to all zeros) using to_char. For example:
#Print Sysdate with associated time component
print(sysdate());
#Print sysdate with time dropped
print(to_char(sysdate(),'YYYY.MM.DD'));

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,
Need help in loading flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string.
I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?
thanks,

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.
