I think this is the function to convert FROM Epoch to a readable date/time format. I need the other way around...
Thanks!

I have included the SQL source below. You'll obviously want to change your time zone and input date format accordingly. create or replace FUNCTION GETDATE (a_number number) RETURN Date IS date_x date; BEGIN if a_number is null then return null; else date_x := new_time(TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYYHH24:MI:SS') + (a_number/86400),'GMT','EDT'); end if; RETURN(date_x); END GetDate; Regards, Tony Cesaro From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kemes, Lisa Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 12:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Date Time Conversion Issue in Remedy ** I'm having a similar issues (details are a little bit different), but how do you convert a MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS to epoch time. We are using Windows 2003, Oracle 10, ARS 7.0.1.... I've seen lots of info about converting Epoch to a readable date format, but not the other way around....

Perhaps this is your issue? If you are putting these records directly into the database without going through remedy then you need to use epoch time. If you are going through remedy, then I believe its the locale of the server but not sure. (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS) Hopefully this helps?

There is a form in Remedy which will store the details retrieved from stored procedure.The fields in the form are mapped in Xmlgateway Template (Create) and Template (Query). The Template(Create) will create the record in the Remedy Form with the Output recieved from the Template(Query) which contains the stored procedure details. So there are there date time fields which are returned by stored procedure having the formats as below : - Two Date Time fields have format as :- MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss for e.g 4/17/2008 12:00:00 One Date Time field has format as :- yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss for e.g 2008/ 4/17 12:00:00 So in the Create Template of Xmlgateway i specified the above formats but when the record is created in Remedy the other values are captured but the date time format fields the value is blank. When i checked Catalina.out log file found that it is not able to convert this date format into Remedy. So can anyone let me know what format of date time needs to be specified in Create Template of Xmlgateway ?
