Xp20:format-dateTime method in BPEL 11g

I am doing a date conversion as xp20:format-dateTime('2007-10-07','YYYYMMDD') and storing in a String variable - givenDateConverted
but the result is as below
<givenDateConverted >YYYYMMDD</givenDateConverted>
My original requirement is to compare this givenDateConverted with the currentDate and reject if givenDateConverted is less than currentDate
Please help
Thanks

Hi sesha,
Your date 08-OCT-2009 is not in the expected xs:DateTime format like 2002-05-30T09:30:10Z
This is what xp20:format-dateTime needs.
What is the date format of the date you need to compare to the current date?
If it is in the standard xsd:dateTime format you don't need to format anything.
If it is a comparable format you can format the current time in that format.
For example:
<before>
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01][s01]") > '20100909111209'"/>
</before>see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-dateTime
And beware of timezone issues...
Groeten,
HJH

Xp20:format-dateTime: How to use it

Hi
Can you tell me how to use this XPath function?? Give me an example please.
I tried xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'ddMMyyyy HHmm') but the result is
"ddMMyyyy HHmm" (yes, the pattern itself!)
Thanks

I don't know what the problem could be of this.

Xp20:format-datetime usage....

Hello gurus,
I am trying to use the xPath function format-datetime to get rid of the timezone from an input element, but in the output factional seconds is returning all zeroes. My picture string looks like below.
xp20:format-dateTime($CreationDateTime,"[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]T[H01]:[m01]:[s01].[f000001]")
eg: Input: 2011-01-07T09:35:03.624992-05:00
Output: 2011-01-07T09:35:03.000000
I am using 10.1.3.4 SOA and jdeveloper version.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How do I set this though to format the date itself? i.e. I have set this up so far, xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime()), but what do I place in the last set of parenthesis that allows me to achieve this?

Xp20:format-dateTime with milli seconds always as zeroes

Hi All,
I am trying to use the xPath function format-datetime , but in the output factional seconds is returning all zeroes. My picture string looks like below.
*xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),"[H01][m01][s01][f001]*
Result always in zeroes see example below:
*105017000*
Do somebody have some advice on this issue?

Use ora:getCurrentDateTime() extension function instead... It accepts java SimpleDateFormat patterns and it is able to go milliseconds...

Xp20:format-dateTime('060111','[Y01][M01][D01]') returns null...

As part of my tranformation I need to convert a date string into a datetime type. This operation kept returning null so I decided to hard code the value and the result is still null. Can anyone provide any insight?
XSL TRANFORMATION:

<xsl:value-of select="/client:adage_orderentry_qdb_processorProcessRequest/client:flat_order/imp1:instruction/imp1:po_num"/>

<order:OrderHdrPonum xmlns:order="http://www.shamrockfoods.com/adage/orderentry">00001234</order:OrderHdrPonum>

i think this function is for formatting dates, and not parsing them as you are attempting. Try using substring instead.

If i look at the w3 org i would say :
xp20:format-dateTime('yourfield','[D]-[[MN,*-3]-[Y]')
or just MN will do too.

Format-dateTime usage question

Have a string input of 2007-10-10T10:10:10 am am attempting to use the format-dateTime XPath function in the XSLT Mapper to format the string uisng the string 'YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSS' - my output is simply the fomat string: 'YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSS'.
Have looked at several threads on this but cannot find any help - what is going on and how do I use this function?
Thanks - Casey

Hopefully by now Casey has figured it out but in case someone else finds this thread...
The date format used by the format-dateTime BPEL / ESB XPath extension function seems to be the same format string syntax specified in XSLT 2.0 format-date() function which is detailed with examples at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xslt20-20050915/#date-time-examples
An example appears in this thread:

Add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime not working just before format-dateTime

Hi,
I am using format-DateTime function just after add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime function in XSLT mapping.
But the response coming doesnot providing the result of add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime function.
When I use both the functions individually then both works fine.
Please let me know any solution for this.
Thanks

Hi Arpit,
Can you try converting the output of add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime to string, before passing it to format-DateTime.
Also can you post your piece of xslt that you are trying to work out with an example.
Please do mention what exactly you are trying to do.
I have tried this and its working fine.
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(string(xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'PT15S')),'[D01]/[M01]/[Y0001]')"/>
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Deepak.

XPath format-dateTime

Hi,
New in XPath.
xp20:format-dateTime(string(2005-01-04)) <= xp20:format-dateTime(string(2005-01-05))
This should be true, but it evaluation results false.
What IÂ´m doing wrong?
Thanx

You can use this functions as follows:
<client:input>
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(/client:Sensors_JQProcessRequest/client:input,'[MM] [YYYY] [DD]')"/>
</client:input>
With input as - <input>2005-06-09T15:30:44.369</input>, you will get the output as <client:input>6 2005 9</client:input>
But i dont think you can use this function for comparision, neither we have any xpath function for comparing datetime. You need to either write your own custom xpath function or you can use exec activity, write java code in that or use xp20:day-from-dateTime(), xp20:hours-from-dateTime(), xp20:year-from-dateTime(), xp20:minutes-from-dateTime(), xp20:seconds-from-dateTime() and compare them separately

Transformation: format-dateTime

Hi,
I am stuck with transformation. I am trying to map a string column to a date column.
Column name: imdtsc (String datatype)
Value: 20080624054923
For converting this string and for mapping to destination date field, I have used this function:
<ns2:trxDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,"[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01] [H01]:[m01]:[s01].0")'/>
</ns2:trxDate>
Here trxDate is my destination field of Date datatype.
After deploying and instance creation I am not able to see any value in the table column trxDate.
Can anyone help me in this. Am I doing something wrong. Is there any other way?
Thanks,
Abhishek...

Thanks Anne for replying.
I got the solution for my problem. Thanks to ramana.
Here is my piece of code for this:
<ns2:trxDate>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,1.0,4.0),"-",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,5.0,2.0),"-",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,7.0,2.0),'T',substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,9.0,2.0),":",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,11.0,2.0),":",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,13.0,2.0))"/>
</ns2:trxDate>

Invoke ODI Scenario (11g) in BPEL (11g)

Hello -
I'm developing a BPEL process to load data from SQL Server to Oracle database using ODI . And after that I'm doing more orchestration in the BPEL process. I'm using
1) Oracle Data Integrator 11g (11.1.1.3)
2) Oracle SOA Suite 11g (Web Logic Server)
Have created a scenario in ODI 11.1.1.3 to read data from SQL Server and load into Oracle Database. I would like call this ODI scenario in BPEL 11g as a FIRST Activity.
Please help me the STEPS I need to
1) To expose the ODI scenario as a web service?
2) And to invoke ODI scenario in BPEL
3) Do I need configure/install public web services or anyother checks I need to do on ODI_server domain(WLS) to ensure it has all the components it need ?
Detailed steps are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Babu

I hope you have found your answer but if not here are some pointers when working in the 11g ODI version. As far as I understand all generated scenarios will be exposed as a web service. ODI provides a small set of service methods available via the agent to invoke those services:
invokeStartScen
invokeRestartScen
getSessionStatus
getVersion
To get the WSDL for ODI, simply point your browser or partner descriptor to a running ODI agent: http://agentHost:port/oraclediagent/OdiInvoke?wsdl
For me running on my local host I can access both the Stand Alone or JEE agents on thier running ports:
Stand Alone running on 8886: http://localhost:8886/oraclediagent/OdiInvoke?wsdl
JEE running on 19001 deployed to WLS: http://localhost:19001/oraclediagent/OdiInvoke?wsdl
As you can see there is no difference between the two agents and they both return with the same list of operations:
<wsdl:binding name="InvokeRequestSOAP11Binding" type="odi:requestPortType">
<soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />
*<wsdl:operation name="invokeStartScen">*
<soap:operation soapAction="xmlns.oracle.com/odi/OdiInvoke/invokeStartScen" />
<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:input>

<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
*<wsdl:operation name="getSessionStatus">*

<wsdl:input>

</wsdl:operation>
*<wsdl:operation name="getVersion">*

<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>

</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>

<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
Once you have this then you can invoke the different methods from what ever tool you are using and here are some samples:

This is covered in section 14 of the Developers Guide for ODI ([Working with Web Services in Oracle Data Integrator|http://fmwdocs.us.oracle.com/doclibs/fmw/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12643/web_services.htm#CJAJEBEJ]) and further expanded in section 19.7 ([Running Integration Processes|http://fmwdocs.us.oracle.com/doclibs/fmw/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12643/running_executions.htm#BABDHJJF]).
If you need additional asistance with the creation of the scenario, well that is another question ;)

Format-dateTime function in xsl

Hi,
I am trying to convert String format to specific date time format(YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS:FF).
I am using below function in xsl:
<xsl:value-of select='xpath20:format-dateTime(/ns0:Transmission/ns0:TransmissionBody/ns0:GLogXMLElement/ns0:ShipmentStatus/ns0:EventDt/ns0:GLogDate,"[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01][s01]")'/>
But it is not returning any value.
Source format is String(value= 20101020155400).
Target is dateTime(Expected Value= 2010-10-20 01:55:40.0).
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks

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...

Xp20:current-dateTime dose not return actual time in daylight saving

Hi,
I have observed that xp20:current-dateTime dose not return the actual time in daylight saving. e.g. when the system time is 14:43:00 the xp20:current-dateTime function returns 15:43:00 i.e. additional 1 hour. Is this a known issue? How to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I've the same problem. This occurs in BPEL middle tier instalation
( Linux x86 timezone set to Europe/Prague)
and also in JDeveloper > Test xsl form. ( Localised Win XP SP2)
BPEL version is 10.1.2.0.0.
In our country we have now CEST ( Central European Summer Time) = GMT +2:00.
xp20:current-dateTime returns for example 2006-06-27T13:10:15+01:00
The time 13:10:15 is correct time in our timezone, but timezone +01:00 is not correct.
Timezone should be +02:00. (?)
When I insert this dateTime into database table, I have incorrect value there.
Is there any way to solve this problem? ( any settings ...?)
Regards
Karel
