SYSTEM.Current_DateTime

we observerd that the Oracle $$DATE$$ and SYSTEM Object property "CurrentDatetime" uses Oracle system variable SYSTEM.Current_datetime to retrieve the current system date/time value. I also see that SYSTEM.Current_datetime is NOT in Sync with Client/Server Time. Also please verify the results of the following query that was run in our environment where the issue appears.
SQL Statement which produced this data:
select sysdate ,
new_time(sysdate, 'MDT', 'EDT') LOCAL_TIME,
dbtimezone,
sessiontimezone,
new_time(sysdate, 'MDT', 'EDT') - (substr(sessiontimezone,1,instr(sessiontimezone,':')-1)/24) CLIENT_TIME,
new_time(sysdate, 'MDT', 'MDT') - (substr(dbtimezone,1,instr(dbtimezone,':')-1)/24) DB_TIME
from dual;
SYSDATE LOCAL_TIME DBTIMEZONE SESSIONTIMEZONE CLIENT_TIME DB_TIME
5/4/2011 2:54:28 PM 5/4/2011 4:54:28 PM +00:00 -04:00 5/4/2011 8:54:28 PM 5/4/2011 2:54:28 PM
Based on the above results, does the value of DBTIMEZONE and SESSIONTIMEZONE need to in Sync. If so, how do we make the change to Sync the values. Also is that the root cause of the problem for SYSTEM.Current_DateTime to be in out of sync with the client/Server Time.
what SYSTEM.Current_datetime value depends on. Where do we need to set the value so the values are in Sync???

Set :system.current_datatime

Hi !
1. The :system.current_datetime, display current date & time in this formate: DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MM:SS.
2. I want to display time not in 24 hr mode, but in 12 hr mode.
Thanks!
Regards!

I don't think that you can set a system variable.
You can assign it to a parameter into your form and then display time in your favourite format.
Hope it helps you,
Fabrizio

Mailto with web.show_document

Hi,
I am using the mailto as below
web.show_document('mailto:[email protected]&subject='||lv_subject||'%20&body=Date:%20%'||:SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME||'%0A%0APlease find the generated file in pdf format','blank');
I am sucessful in generating the mail to, subject and the mail body but is there a way by which i can automatically attach a mail attachment (could be a pdf file just generated before this code executes.
or does someone have a better idea as my requirement is that as and when a transaction is complete a user will select a check box and execute a button (send mail), for the same transaction i want to generate a PDF file ad send it to the selected group, but i do not want this as a silent background process (it should open a new outlook window) with the generated report as an attachment.
I can generate the pdf file and also open a new outlook form but the attachment is the issue.
Regards
Melvin

Melvin,
there exists no parameter for attaching files to an email using "mailto".
Source: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q188/0/19.asp&NoWebContent=1
The format for the MAILTO protocol is as follows:
MAILTO:Recipients&Parameters
The Recipients field can be blank, a single e-mail address, or multiple e- mail addresses separated by semicolons (;).
The Parameters are optional and have to be separated by an ampersand (&). Parameters appear in a name/value pair format. Following is the list of parameters available in Internet Explorer: PARAMETER DESCRIPTION

exit form,that has expired on agfter min only,if i create another timer for 30 sec and write
times := :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME;
:QUES.F_TIME := SUBSTR(times , instr(times,' ')+1);

Time display in a date item

This is driving me nuts.
I am trying to dynamically set the initial
value of a date item in a form.
I want it to be one hour prior to the current
system time rounded down to the hour.
i.e. if the current datetime is 07/26/2001 09:12, I want to see 07/26/2001 08:00 in the forms item.
The code I use is as follows;
DECLARE
-- get system datetime
v_date_time_char_format VARCHAR2(25) := :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME;
-- variable for hour
v_hour VARCHAR2(2);
BEGIN
IF :tbl_sf_site.test_date IS NULL THEN
-- go back one hour and delete blank caused by to_char
v_hour := SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(v_date_time_char_format,13,2)) - 1,'09'),2,2);
-- set time back one hour
v_date_time_char_format :=
SUBSTR(v_date_time_char_format,1,12)| |v_hour| |':00';
-- display the results of date manipulation
f_alert.ok('v_date_time_char_format is '| |v_date_time_char_format);
-- set value of form item
:tbl_sf_site.test_date :=
TO_DATE(v_date_time_char_format,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI');
END IF;
END;
The f_alert.ok that displays is 26-JUL-2001 08:00, but the value in the item is 07/26/2001 00:00.
The forms item is a text item of date format with a mask of 'mm/dd/rrrr hh24:mi.

Change the data type of forms item into datetime then try.
null

Automatic send mailto from web.show_document

i use
web.show_document('mailto:[email protected]&subject='||lv_subject||'%20&body=Date:%
20%'||:SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME||'%0A%0ATest Invio Posta elettronica from application server','blank');
and work very fine.
I want tiìo Know if it is possible to send email without open the editor (without the confim (send) from the user....
Thank's The Vampire

You can send mails at the middle tier using JavaMail integartion (see the 9i Forms Demos) or by using the UTL_SMTP package in the database. Both of these will allow you to generate messages from with the application and send them.

$$DATETIME$$

I'm having a display item with it's initial value $$DATETIME$$ to display the current date and time. The problem is that it's not being displayed at all in that particular display item.
I found out that it works with the "database item" property set to "yes", but this item must not be a database item. Btw, the datatype is "Datetime" as suggested in the help topics.
Anyone who can help?

Problem solved!
I did it with a trigger containing :<block>.<item> := :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME
:-)

In Forms, how to set time to control editng?

hi guys, Im doing a data entry module.This module used to encode our daily transactions. Sometimes, there are editing/updating of data that happen everyday. My problem is that, i want to control this editng everday to lessen some data problem. My question is how to set time in an oracle forms to control this everyday editing or updating. I want to their editing/updating allow only during the date they encode that particular transactions.
Can anybody help me solve this problem. Thank you!
Lala

Do you want to get the current date?
You can use SYSDATE for that (getting the database-date) or SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME (getting the OS-date)

It seems you are insert some data in child table. For which parent data does not exist. In simple primary key values does not exist while you are trying to insert in foreign key values. check this link.

Java bean to get information from serial port

we are migrating from 6i to 10g. In 6i, we used mscomm32.ocx to access to com port. Now in 10g we need a java bean. Anybody has a java bean to access to serial port or anything similar?

Problems on insert

Hello All,
I've got a really strange behaviour on inserting or updating data in a table using the following code:
UPDATE partner_article
SET matnr=:partner_article.matnr,
kdmat=:partner_article.kdmat,
meins=:partner_article.meins,
menge=:partner_article.menge,
verpack=:partner_article.verpack,
verpack2=:partner_article.verpack2,
user_lastupd=globals.user_long,
date_lastupd=l_date
WHERE parid = :partner_article_master.parid
All values except user and date are updated/inserted. It is impossible to insert or update the user/date!
I tried to insert /update the user using sqlnet...all fine !
I have no idea to solve this problem... I think the problem isn't located in the forms-code but I do not know how to find out what goes wrong
best regards,
joe

...globals.user is a variable in a package and l_date is l_date := to_date(:SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS');
but that is not the problem! If I change the update -> user_lastupd='mustafa' the name will not be inserted at all!

Time call

Hi All!
I showed running time on the forms 6i but that is in this format 'HH24:MI:SS' but i want to change that format and do this 'HH12:MI:SS AM'.
I use this code.
firs i create a Timer one secoed
then WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger i increment using this
Declare
time varchar2(40) := :system.current_datetime;
begin
:cur_time := substr(time,instr(time,' ')+1);
end;
how can i change this format

there is nothing wrong with earlier posters solution. And it is ABSOLUTELY EASY,
infact its a basic SQL.
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'HH:MI:SS') time from dual;
TIME
11:43:12
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'HH12:MI:SS AM') time from dual;
TIME
11:43:26 AM

Calling procedures in trigger

Hi
have two procedures desig_updation and increment_process. desig_updation should fire first and have to update records marked for update. Increment process have to increment salary based on desig updation . incrementprocess should fire for every record that is updated by desig_updation procedure . which trigger suite for increment process ?

Salary Increment Process

Dear Experts,
I am working on Increment process,
My client required 3% rise on following heads
01.Pay Band Pay + 02.Grade Pay = Basic X 3 % Rise = Increment amount + 01.Pay Band Pay
For Better understand : 15000 + 5000 = 20000
Increment rise = 15000 X 3%   + 5000 X 3 % = 600 Increment Amount + 15000 = 15600 is Pay Band Pay new amout after increment process.
New Basic will be : 15600 + 5000 = 20600 & w.e.f 01.07.2012
Increment is the based on the following points :
01. If Loss of Pay then increment should be consider on earned amount.
02. Round off Increment amount i.e.
601.00 then the round up Rs.670.00
669.00 then the round up Rs.670.00
600.70 then the round up Rs.660.00

Client date

Anybody can help how to get a local / client date using form 61 ?
IF "Sysdate" is Server date, how to get the date in client computer ?
Thank you

$$DATE$$ (or $$DATETIME$$) retrieves the current operating system date (client-side).
Alternative: SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME is a variable representing the operating system date. The value is a CHAR string in the following format:
DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MM:SS
See the online help for more info on these topics.

SYSTEM.Current_DateTime
