Setting Current Date in XSL for Maximo Integration

During Maximo integration there is need to transform XML from Maximo XML format to External System(eg Oracle) XML format. There we can use the XSL mapping in Maximo. Maximo converts the XML to destination XML format using XSL language and vice versa. During that time, if there is need to set the current date in the XSL format see the below code spinet.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  
xmlns:max="http://www.ibm.com/maximo"  
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" exclude-result-prefixes="java">
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <max:SyncRFQSResponse>
   <max:RFQSet>
    <max:RFQ action="AddChange">
      <xsl:for-each select="max:RFQSyncResponse/max:RFQSet/max:RFQ">
       <max:RFQNUM>
         <xsl:value-of select="max:RFQNUM" />
       </max:RFQNUM>
       <max:SITEID>
         <xsl:value-of select="max:SITEID" />
       </max:SITEID>
       <max:TEST_DATE>
         <xsl:value-of select="java:format(java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat.new('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'), java:java.util.Date.new())" />
       </max:TEST_DATE>
      </xsl:for-each>

   </max:RFQSSet>
  </max:SyncRFQResponse>
 </xsl:template>

Python - setting Date and Time using automation Scripts

The python version used Maximo automation scripts is 2.5.2. So the normal DateTime function in Python cannot be used in Maximo. The DateTime function is used in Python 3.x and above. As an alternative, we can use the gmtime and strftime packages.

from time import gmtime

from time import strftime

nowTime = strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S", gmtime())

print(nowTime)

mbo.setValue("TARGSTARTDATE", nowTime)

print("TARGSTARTDATE-->" + mbo.getString("TARGSTARTDATE"))
