Timestamp to readable date

hi,
just a quickie.
how do i take the Date getTime() timestamp number and produce a viewable date
i assume i use SimpleDateFormat, but is there any examples of it of how to do what i want.
so i have stored in a variable the timestamp (e.g. 120234344550) and i want to take that variable and output something like (12/12/03) for instance (those numbers dont correspond by the way).

If you go to the search page and do a search of the Tutorials for SimpleDateFormat, you will come up with this list:
http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?and=simpledateformat&phr=&qt=&not=&field=&since=&nh=10&col=javatutorials&rf=0&Search.x=28&Search.y=8
Something on one of these should probably help

Convert Unix timestamp to Readable Date/time

Hello.
I'm reading a database with the time field expressed in Unix Time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00).
Is there any fast way to convert it to "mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss" ?
Regards.

Try something like this:
DateFormat shortTime = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
String theTime = shortTime.format(new java.util.Date());
DateFormat shortDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
String theDate = shortDate.format(new java.util.Date());
System.out.println("The formatted date is: " + theDate + " and the formatted time is: " + theTime);Check out the static fields in the DateFormat class for the different formatting options.
Hope that helps!

Convert from epoch timestamp to human readable date

Hi everybody,
I want to retrieve a human readable date from an fpga target of a sbRIO9636 ,so what is the function which can convert an epoch timestamp to a human readable date ?
(Noting that i need to retrieve the second,minute,hour,day,month,year... from the fpga target of this device)
Thanks

I have a program which retrieve the current time of windows (with the Get Date/Time in Seconds and Seconds to Date/time functions) and calculate the julian day parameter by using the second,minute,hour,day,month and year wich are displayed on the elements of the Unbundle By Name function (connected in the output of Seconds to Date/time function).
This program works within windows and real time but I can't run it in the chassis of the sbRIO (errors displayed that these functions above aren't supported in the current target)
Can i use another method to solve this problem.
(See the front panel of this program in the following attached file)

The tangent ist the derivative of the curve in that point. You can try to use a numerical derivative vi or keep it simple an approximate with a line through the adjacent points.

How to show timestamp along with date in LOV dropdown

Hi,
We have a requirement to show timestamp along with date as a display column in a LOV drop down. Type of the date column in VVO is set to timestamp. But still it is showing only date in the UI.
But it is showing timestamp when we run it through AM. Is there any thing in to do in addition to display it in UI? Or it is not feasible? Please suggest me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Santhosh

The date format displayed in UI depends on applcore preference set for current user, try changing date format set for current user to include time along with date.

Insert timestamp into a Date field.

Hi anyone knows if I insert a timestamp into a date field, will it sort according to the date field if I use an sql statement to sort the data?

Your question is quite unclear, it sounds like you have two questions:
1. Can I insert a timestamp into a date field (in the database?)?
2. Can I sort my sql statement using the date field?
Is this what you are asking? If not, please clarify.

DSC 8.6.1 wrong timestamps for logged data with Intel dual core

Problem Description :
Our LV/DCS 8.6.1 application uses shared variables to log data to Citadel. It is running on many similar computers at many companies just fine, but on one particular Intel Dual Core computer, the data in the Citadel db has strange shifting timestamps. Changing bios to startup using single cpu fixes the problem. Could possibly set only certain NI process(es) to single-cpu instead (but which?). The old DSCEngine.exe in LV/DSC 7 had to be run single-cpu... hadn't these kind of issues been fixed by LV 8.6.1 yet?? What about LV 2009, anybody know?? Or is it a problem in the OS or hardware, below the NI line??
This seems similar to an old issue with time synch server problems for AMD processors (Knowledge Base Document ID 4BFBEIQA):
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1EFFBED34FFE66C2862573D30073C329
Computer info:
- Dell desktop
- Win XP Pro sp3
- 2 G RAM
- 1.58 GHz Core 2 Duo
- LV/DSC 8.6.1 (Pro dev)
- DAQmx, standard instrument control device drivers, serial i/o
(Nothing else installed; OS and LV/DSC were re-installed to try to fix the problem, no luck)
Details:
A test logged data at 1 Hz, with these results: for 10-30 seconds or so, the timestamps were correct. Then, the timestamps were compressed/shifted, with multiple points each second. At perfectly regular 1-minute intervals, the timestamps would be correct again. This pattern repeats, and when the data is graphed, it looks like regular 1-sec interval points, then more dense points, then no points until the next minute (not ON the minute, e.g.12:35:00, but after a minute, e.g.12:35:24, 12:36:24, 12:37:24...). Occasionally (but rarely), restarting the PC would produce accurate timestamps for several minutes running, but then the pattern would reappear in the middle of logging, no changes made.
Test info:
- shared variable configured with logging enabled
- data changing by much more than the deadband
- new value written by Datasocket Write at a steady 1 Hz
- historic data retrieved by Read Traces
- Distributed System Manager shows correct and changing values continuously as they are written

Meg K. B. ,
It sounds like you are experiencing Time Stamp Counter (TSC) Drift as mentioned in the KB's for the AMD Multi-Core processors. However, according to this wikipedia article on TSC's, the Intel Core 2 Duo's "time-stamp counter increments at a constant rate.......Constant TSC behavior ensures that the duration of each clock tick is
uniform and supports the use of the TSC as a wall clock timer even if
the processor core changes frequency." This seems to suggest that it would be not be the case that you are seeing the issue mentioned in the KBs.
Can you provide the exact modle of the Core 2 Duo processor that you are using?

Report.vi gives no timestamp for acquired data

I am using LabVIEW 8.6 with the report generation toolkit and Report.vi (express vi). If I wire a simulated signal (again express vi) and generate a report (I'm using excel reports, but it's the same for an html), it gives a table with the time and value as expected. However, when I wire an a signal acquired using the DAQ Assistant vi, the time column is filled with the value 3349098000. Any thoughts as to why this is happening and how I can get the timestamp to work properly? Unfortunately I'm limited to express VI's since I'm using this as an educational tool with students who don't know LV. Thanks.
John

Hello John,
The reason why there's no timestamp is because the dynamic data from DAQ Assistant has no knowledge of time. You would need to manually set the attributes to the data by using Set Dynamic Data Attributes Express VI. See the figure below

Timestamp vs. Date problem

Hello,
we have an MODIFIED_ON column in a table which has database type DATE. BC4J datatype Date is logical, but if you need to use SimpleDateFormat and format the time value, you need to change it to Timestamp (otherwise you can format only the date portion). The column is set as history column-modified on on the entity level.
The problem is, that if you read the value of ModifiedOn column right after commit, it has fractional seconds in it's value, but whole seconds in database (DATE cannot store fractional seconds). If you try to edit the column next time, you'll get an "JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key xxx" exception because Timestamps differ.
If I try to set the column as Refresh after insert/update, the value is not updated at all. Reproducible with JDev 9032 and 9034

I tried to narrow down the problem any further. I think the difference is in the calling of the sys_extract_utc function as shown in the execution plans.
I noticed a difference in the two plans:
Not working:
SYS_EXTRACT_UTC("UPDATEDT")<=SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(SYSTIMESTAMP(6)) Working:
SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(INTERNAL_FUNCTION("A1"."UPDATEDT"))<=SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(SYSTIMESTAMP(6)))Could anyone explain what this "Internal_function" is doing? ?-)
Based on thhose plans I build a simplier test case just using dual.

2 where sysdate <= systimestamp;

SQL> select * from dual@DBLINKNAME

Select entries between two dates by converting Unix timestamp in Oracle Dat

Hi,
I need to select the entries between two dates from an Oracle db. The Oracle db has a column with Unix timestamps. I use the following querry, but it doesnt seem to be working as desired.
select count(*) from reporter_status where to_char(FIRSTOCCURRENCE, 'mm-dd-yy') between ('08-07-06') and ('08-08-06');
FIRSTOCCURRENCE has the Unix timestamps.
Could anyone help me out with this. Thank you for your help.

Assuming that it is actually a UNIX timestamp, then it is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970, so you need something like:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM reporter_status
WHERE TO_DATE('01-Jan-1970', 'dd-mon-yyyy') + (firstoccurrence/24/60/60)
BETWEEN TO_DATE('08-07-2006', 'mm-dd-yyyy') AND
TO_DATE('08-08-2006, 'mm-dd-yyyy');Did Y2K not teach us anything? Use 4 digit years.

How to convert Time stamp into exact Date and Time

Hi,
Following is one way of doing it
Timestamp timeStamp = new Timestamp(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
          System.out.println(timeStamp);
          SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
          System.out.println(dateFormat.format(timeStamp));
          SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
          System.out.println(timeFormat.format(timeStamp));
Output
2008-11-20 11:59:35.693 -> Timestamp

WD My Book not readable - data recovery possible?

While attempting to repartion my WD My Book, the partioning process froze - very stupidly, I eventually pulled out the drive.
Now the disk isn't being recognised at all. Plugging in, I get 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'. All options in Disk Utility are unavailable: I can't verify or repair disk permissions, I can't verify or repair disk. Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro haven't seemed to be able to help.
Is there any, any way I could recover some of the data on the drive?
Thanks.

Data loss due to hard drive crashes orother logical errors may happen. Be prepared for the worst with thebest. Use Kernel for Windows Disk Recovery and be assured of yourdata even if the partitions are lost. Kernel is competent to recoverfiles from any windows file system.

Timestamp with price data in BPS and CPM

Hi Guys,
   I am working on a price determining project, the requirment is to build a cockpit(couple of screens), the screen will looks like BPS layout, One of the data column will be the actual price for steel,the rest of the columns will be caculated based on the steel's actual price. I can easily build this using BPS function.
   Here is what I am chanllenging:
   The business requirment ask the actual price need to be changes several time according to the market price.
which mean that we need to load the SEM infocube several times a day, the requirments also ask the layout need to load the latest actual price whenever it open, and the history actual data need to be display if necessary.
   One way to make this happen is to include the timestamp field in the header of the layout. I also notice that SEM-CPM's scorecard has the function, her is the online documents:
"If you choose Read Data With Latest Time Stamp From the Buffer/BW, the system checks the time stamp of the data, and always uses the latest version. The system compares the time stamp of the buffered date in the SEM system to the time stamp of the following objects: Time stamp of the assigned value field, time stamp of the transaction data (from the source InfoCube), and time stamp of the source query.
If the time stamp of one of these objects is more recent than the time stamp of the buffered date in the SEM system, the date is replaced by the date in the SAP BW. If this is not the case, the date is not updated."
   Any commnets or idea?

Hi JW,
if you want to track changes, implement the how-to paper about "line-items" (see SAP Service Marketplace). BPS layout will always show the latest data (price) and to show the history, you can use a simple BW query with drill-down on the timestamp.

How can i validate attribute(timestamp type) enter date day is not sunday.

hi All,
problem is that i want to validate timestamp type attribute. when user select a date if the date day is sunday than error message
show to user.
can i do this with groove expression.

You can add a script validation to the EO attribute and use an groovy expression like
def d = newValue;
println d.day;
return d.day != 0;
I only tested this with a date but it should work with a timestamp too...
