Hello there, just to "close this thread". What I'm doing now is converting the number within Remedy with VB and the Filter Scripting Plug-in. Works nice and does the trick so far. Just in case someone else is running over this behaviour. Best greetings from Germany, Robert

Very strange I say :-) Think going to start he holiday season now. After 5pm over here after all. Trying my luck with that next year again. Perhaps with the Filter API then too, if those functions work there. Having to use filters is a little bit a downer then, but working with a dummy entry at some form might not being that bad after all (if that's would get the proper results then). Thank's alot for your assistance and time Stephen ! Happy holidays to all listeners, Robert ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Heider, Stephen Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 5:04 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ActiveDirectory - Converting long int values ? ** One thing to try is to set the decimal field value to an integer field.

Januar 2038 04:14:07 However, if using that exact number (128.109.070.370.591.753) at VB, it gives me the right number. So, it works with your number both at Remedy and VB. With the timestamp I receive I can only convert it at VB properly, not at Remedy. Huh ? :-) ... think it's about time for holidays :-) Thanks again, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG <mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> ] On Behalf Of Heider, Stephen Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 4:40 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ActiveDirectory - Converting long int values ? Robert, Here is the Active Link log on my display only screen: Set Fields: lastLogonTimestamp = 11,666,671,551,010,024.0 Set Fields: lastLogonTimestamp = 1,166,667,155.10100240000000000000000000000 Set Fields: Last Logon = Wednesday, December 20, 2006 9:12:35 PM Are you dividing by 10000000 or perhaps 1000000 (one less zero)? Look in your log file to see what is being set - it might uncover the cause.

Hello Stephen, tried that but somehow I end up with a date like "19.01.2038 04:14:07". Seems I'm doing something wrong here somehow...

Robert, If I understand your question correctly, it seems you are very close... I retrieve the AD long int value and store it in a Remedy Decimal field. In the next Set Fields action divide by 10000000 and store in the same Decimal field. In the next Set Fields action set the Remedy Date/Time field to the value of the Decimal field.

What works ok is displaying the value as such in Remedy decimal field (double). For example the lastLogonTimestamp attribute may be 128109070370591753, which is something like the 18th of December. What does not work at all is displaying the value in a Remedy date/time value directly (instead of the decimal), or trying to "set fields" that value from the decimal field into a date/time field. The DateAdd function can't be used at it seems too / does not work, as Remedy does not understand those long int values (apart from that it seems that you can't use 1.1.1601 as a DateBase - this could be cured though, by just adding the difference from this date until for example 1.1.2000 in days - but still, the format of the long int does not work). Using VB.net the function could look like: Dim logonsec As Double Dim logondate As Date Dim baseDate As Date = CDate("1.1.1601") logonsec = (128111630542558000) / (10000000) logondate = baseDate.AddSeconds(logonsec) Logondate then results in that 18th of December at VB. Has someone run into this yet ? Perhaps there is another easy formula which works for converting this values ? ...I think using the Filter API might also work (have not tried yet). Something I wanted to avoid, as of having to trigger a save somewhere (but would go that route anyway, if that would then work). Am running the test box at 7.0.1p0 at the moment (used to be 6.3p19 this morming), as of "SW00246651 ARServer needs some mechanism to determine when large LOB's are fetched". But upgrading has not cured the baviour so far. Thanks and happy holidays all together from Germany ! Robert ..........................................................
