SAP XI : Date and Time Service

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there any runtime variable or service in SAP XI through which I can

map the current DATE and TIME of the system. Currently I am using XSLT mapping and

in that XSL I am calling java code for Date and Time.

So is there any other way through which I can Map the date in the output field

without calling Java code in XSLT.

Thanks

Hi,

write a user defined function in java to get the current time and call that java function in XSLT.

Can you try this code for getting time

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a z");

Date now = new Date();

String nowAsString = formatter.format(now);

If you execute this XI server you will get the server time.

hi,

you can do it from java - if you use XSLT on java stack

you can do it from ABAP - if you use XSLT on ABAP stack

there are also java functions for date

in message mapping

so you can put two mappings (in your <b>interface mapping</b> object):

one XSLT

and one message mapping which will only fill the date

to see how many mappings work have a look at my weblog:
