Time (miliseconds)

How do I get the miliseconds in a date column?

or you can use DBMS_UTILITY.GET_TIME
DBMS_UTILITY
This package provides various utility subprograms.
DBMS_UTILITY submits a job for each partition. It is the users responsibility to control the number of concurrent jobs by setting the INIT.ORA parameter JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES correctly.There is minimal error checking for correct syntax. Any error is reported in SNP trace files.
This chapter discusses the following topics:

Any other method to do this (time, miliseconds)?

Hi all,
is there any other more "elegant"(without stringsubset) way to do next thing (I need miliseconds !!!):

Timestamp Datatype

Hi Gurus,
I have column (datatype-timestamp) in physical layer but as when i am checking in user interface found only date is displaying
Any clue regarding to this
thanks

Hi Gurus,
I viewd the data in the physical layer it shows in date,time,miliseconds
datatype is also timestamp.when i am casting it shows the data but without casting onlyn dates are coming
it shows some gap(blanck space) after the date
thanks

Same procedure works on different server as expected . How can i solve this problem.

In fact i need to calculate time execution of party of my application and i need to milisecond accuracy.
First off all I used systimestamp then i got milisecond precision But i reliaze that result is truncated by about 15
Before java procedure I used script below to test precision
declare
currtimestamp timestamp (9);
begin
for i in 1..1000 loop
currtimestamp := systimestamp;
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(currtimestamp,'ff9')) ;
end loop;
end;
example result show what is problem
part of result
358000000
358000000
358000000
358000000
358000000
358000000
358000000
374000000
374000000
374000000
374000000
As seen last 6 digit always zero . I am not care about last 6 digit.
At least after 358000000 out put might be 359000000 not 374000000

JCShell command response time in miliseconds

Hi,
Is there anyway to capture milliseconds response time in JCShell?
I'ved looked at the "time" variable, but it does not seem to have a milliseconds format.
Thank you for any help.

Thanks for your reply. So, I gather there is no way to capture miliseconds from the JCShell.
I wonder if a plug-in would do the trip? I am new to JCOP. Could a plugin give me the system time in milliseconds?

Use of timer.wait(long miliseconds, int nanoseconds)

I have a Timer object and I want my midlet(main thread) to sleep when I call timer.wait(long miliseconds, int nanoseconds). How to do it?
Thanks

Few things:
- Timer class can execute jobs encapsulated in TimerTask either once after a delay or at given intervals. Please look at the APIs and search for any tutorial online - it is all quite straight forward.
- call to Timer.wait() (or any Object.wait() for this matter ) will cause the current thread to wait until the time lapses, or current thread gets interrupted or another thread calls notify or notifyAll on the same object
Now do you want current thread of execution to simply stop for some time? This is not advisable. If you want your MIDlet to be put to background (to be put to sleep) that is a different story. Please have a look at the topic of *[MIDlet lifecycle|http://developers.sun.com/mobility/learn/midp/lifecycle/]* You will find that due to specification vagueness various vendors will have different events causing a MIDlet to enter paused state.
I think what you need is MIDlet.notifyPaused() call and in TimerTask call to MIDlet.resumeRequest().
Good luck!

How to get better milisecond timer resolution

I am running a Measurement and Computing DAQ card. In software we are polling the card for voltage level at rapid intervals, these intervals are controlled using a call to the millisecond timer vi. We have set the software to poll to at about 10 ms intervals. We can't seem to get it to poll the DAQ card that fast and it is very inconsistent - sometimes 14 sometimes even 20. Is there a way to get the intervals down towards 10 ms intervals more precise or is it because the OS doesn't return to the thread fast enough?
Do you have any suggestions?

Windows is not a deterministic OS. It's always doing other things in the background so software timing is not reliable. Instead of polling, cannot the board be set for continuous acquisition using it's on-board clock for a 10msec sample rate? If you're using LabVIEW 7.1 or greater, you can also look into using the timed loop.

How can I display the elapsed time of the course using Advanced Actions in Captivate?

I have a Captivate course which is approximately 35 minutes in length. On each slide I would like to display to the user, the current elapsed time.
EXAMPLE:
25/35 minutes complete
The 35 would remain static, so I have been working with the elapsed time system variable in CP: elapsed:$$cpInfoElapsedTimeMS$$
I can't seem to get the variable to properly display the elapsed time in minutes, rather than miliseconds. Attached is a screen shot of my advanced action.
Can anyone provide guidence regarding how I should structure this differntly?

I talked about that Timer widget in that blog post and pointed to another one:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners
If you are on CP7, you'll have this widget also as an interaction, which means it is compatible with HTML5 output. Amd there is also an hourglass interaction, with similar functionality but... did not blog about that one
PS: Check Gallery\Widgets to find all widgets. Default path is set to Interactions

Convert time in miliiseconds to date format

I have a column in my table with datatype number(38,0) , in that column i have values in form of miliseconds since 1970 e.g 1152567973042...
i have a requirement to convert this time in milliseconds to today's date, which i can do as
1152567973042 / 3600 / 24 / 365 == x
1970 + x = today's date
is there a function in oracle supporting this, or i have to customize my requirements and write a function.
Thanks in anticipation

Your function will not work precisely because it does not account for leap years. You should use Oracle date math. If you add a number to an Oracle date datatype, it assumes that the number is in days. Oracle will automatically account for leap years. Try this:
DECLARE
mydate DATE;
milliseconds_since_1970 NUMBER(30,7);
BEGIN
milliseconds_since_1970 := ?;
mydate := TO_DATE( '01-JAN-1970', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + milliseconds_since_1970/(1000*60*60*24);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('mydate = ' || to_char( mydate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' ) );
END;
This converts your milliseconds (replace ? with the number) to days and then adds the days to January 1, 1970. The result is an Oracle date datatype adjusted for leap years.
Oracle date datatypes have hours, minutes, and seconds. Since these were not specified for 1/1/1970, they default to zero. Since milliseconds_since_1970 has 7 decimal places, it will contain fractional days which Oracle converts to hours, minutes, and seconds.
I'm not sure what format Oracle stores date datatypes in. You have to convert them with a format string every time you use them.

Date in miliseconds

hi,
i try to store current date value as integer in my database so i will be able to compare dates by sql command simply like comparing integer values. this is the method i use when i code in PHP. so for this purpose i use Date classes getTime() method to get the time in miliseconds. but i want to ignore hour,minute,second,milisecond values. i need only day,month and year in miliseconds. but how?
also how can i reverse the process to get day,month and year from such milisecond representation?

Can I create a time stamp of 2ms or 1ms resolution in a text file

I have trouble creating time stamps in text files that have 2ms resolution. Although my timed loop in LV 7.1 is running the code at 500 Hz without any late iterations, and I record all the data points in the data file, the time stamps are the same in ms range for 5 consecutive points, i.e 10ms resolution. I would like the time stamps to have a 2ms resolution, where each data points every 2ms should show a different milisecond time stamp.
I am trying to do this to be able to show exact 2ms-time stamps for each data sample from 1 digital input line sampled at 500 Hz using NI-DAQmx 7.2. So far I have been using "Get/Date Time in Seconds" and "Format Date/Time String" to display the time stamp in the milis
econd range.

Use the Tick Count (ms) function. Call Get Date/Time in Seconds when you start to get time of day. Also call the Tick Count (ms). After acquiring each point call Tick Count (ms) again and subtract from the starting tick count. Then add this to the starting Time in Seconds value (with appropriate scaling). The result is your timestamp.
Another approach: If you are using hardware timing for the 500 Hz acquisition, each sample is automatically 2 ms after the previous one. Record the start time and add 2 ms for each sample.

Time stamp information in default trace file

How to check the time stamp in defaulttrace.trc or application.trc files for logs in XI server.
I have seen following timestamp in above mentioned trace files. But seem to me, during the shutdown time of server, system put the timestamp in trace file.
ERROR       gateway shutdown

Hi Amarjit
The timestamp is noted in unix epoch time (java does use this as well). It is this field:
#1.#36CC34C00F02009B000001B400001FF40004510B33EAB6D3# 1215008464352 #com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine##com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine.RFCDefaultRequestHand
ler.handleRequest()#J2EE_GUEST#0##XQA#SAPSYS
The first 10 digits are seconds since epoch. The last 3 digits are milisecondes. Converted in human readable format: 07/02/2008 16:21:04.352

Damn, i remeber having answered this already here in the forums, but i cannot find the thread anymore myself :-(((

String To Time Stamp including milliseconds

Hi, The below image show me converting the time into a timestamp (and substituting the date from a different time stamp.
This works fine except for the miliseconds. you can see here the milliseconds are defines as "%2d" and this does not work. If I replace this with "%2u" or "%3u" then the VI will error (vi attached)
what am i doing wrong
