Context date parsing

[SAdlam]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to TOS, and have hit an issue with using a date context variable in a trestclient parameter.

I've got the context set to date

and have chosen a date from the date picker.

then within the trestclient parameter i've got the following to get the unix timestamp time.

I'm getting this error though when I run the job.

its almost as if the context variables are not being passed to the trestclient properly.

any pointers please? i've spent quite alot of time trying to get this working.

it works fine when i put in the figure directly!

Thanks 🙂

Hi, so i think i've found more out.

when i use the code System.out.println(context.StagingBiMetaDatabase); in a java component it prints the words null so i'm just not sure how to overwrite this! as in the ui theres a value in the context.

Just for future reference. I managed to resolve the issue, by changing the data type to char and then back to a string.

not sure what's going on there, but I managed to fix it!
