Hi

Hi Shong,

As I mentioned that I want to create a job which can write the current Date and Time in csv file i.e, whenever I run the job current time should be stored in my csv file. But the problem is I am not able to do using context variable. Hope it is clear now.

Thank and Regards

You can get the current Date and Time using built-in function TalendDate.getCurrentDate(), eg:

on a tJava:

context.currentDate=TalendDate.getCurrentDate();

context.stringDatePart=TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd",context.currentDate);

context.stringTimePart=TalendDate.formatDate("HH:mm:ss",context.currentDate);

System.out.println(context.currentDate);

System.out.println("the date part is: "+context.stringDatePart);

System.out.println("the time part is: "+context.stringTimePart);

 

Get the current Date and Time, store them into context variables, use these context variables later on other components.

If you need to output the Date and Time to CSV, just use a tfixedFlowInput to generate the data flow.

 

Hope it helps you!
