What's the date type of attribute Last Change?

Hi Will,

I had the same problem when I was trying to get the attribute "Constants.AT_REL_ON" of a model. I didn't find a solution so I wrote a function to convert the aris date format (which seems to be the german format, at least for me) into JavaScript Date type.

/**
 *  Converts the aris date format into a JavaScript Date type
 */ 
function parseArisDate(arisDate) {
    var newDate = new Date();
    if (arisDate.length() == 10 || arisDate.length() == 19) {
        newDate.setDate(arisDate.substr(0, 2));
        newDate.setMonth(arisDate.substr(3, 2) - 1);
        newDate.setYear(arisDate.substr(6, 4));
    }
    if (arisDate.length() == 19) {
        newDate.setHours(arisDate.substr(11, 2));
        newDate.setMinutes(arisDate.substr(14, 2));
        newDate.setSeconds(arisDate.substr(17, 2));
    }
    return newDate;
}

Hope this little helper is useful. 

You can try

oObjDef.Attribute( nAttrTypeNum, g_nLoc ).MeasureValue();

to get a Date object.

Report classes AttrTimeDef, AttrTimeStampDef and AttrDateDef – Method MeasureValue

MeasureValue( boolean bRemoveLineBreaks )

Returns the value of the attribute as java.util.Date.

This method is also available in Business Publisher Report.

Thank you! At least now we have some kind of object.

But I still can't convert it into a JavaScript Date object. I tried to parse it with Date.parse(...) but no luck.

Hi Julien,

you can get the value of the "Last Change" Attribute (date and time) in this way:

var lastchange = oSelModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_LAST_CHNG_2, g_nLoc).getValue();

I hope this will help you.

Eva

Hi Eva,

getting the value of the attribute is not the problem.

I have a report that checks if the last release date of a model was more than 2 years ago, so I can set it for review. So I need to do something like this in JavaScript:

var dReviewError = new Date();

// dReview needs to be a date object, this won't work!
var dReview = oSelModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_REL_ON, g_nLoc).getValue();

dReview.setMonth(dReview.getMonth() + 24);
if (dReview < dReviewError ) {
    sReview = getString("TEXT_REVIEW_EXCEEDED");
}

I solved it using my conversion method above but I'm curious if ARIS provides a function for that.

hi julien  i am new of aris tool  i have to listing the name of models were changed

i think u have good idea  could u help me

thnks

hi eva

var oOutput = Context.createOutputObject(); 
var oSelGroups = ArisData.getSelectedGroups(); 

for(var i=0; i<oSelGroups.length; i++)
    {     var oModels = oSelGroups[i].ModelList(); 
    for(var j=0; j<oModels.length; j++)
    {     var oModel = oModels[j];  
      var description = oModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_DESC,g_nLoc);
        description.setValue("Under review – not yet approved");
     }
    } 

var dReviewError = new Date(); 

var lastchange = oSelModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_LAST_CHNG_2, g_nLoc).getValue();
  
dReview.setMonth(dReview.getMonth() + 24); 
if (dReview < dReviewError ) { 
    sReview = getString("TEXT_REVIEW_EXCEEDED"); 
}  

var g_nLoc= Context.getSelectedLanguage();
var oSelGroups = ArisData.getSelectedGroups(); 
 for(var i=0; i<oSelGroups.length; i++)
    {     var oModels = oSelGroups[i].ModelList(); 
    for(var j=0; j<oModels.length; j++)
    {     var oModel = oModels[j];  
      var description = oModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_DESC,g_nLoc);
        description.setValue("Under review – not yet approved");

Hi All,

I am facing one issue while fetching "Last Change" attribute in using aris scripts,:

I am using "var lastchange = oSelModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_LAST_CHNG_2, g_nLoc).getValue();"

line to get the attribute value , I am getting all values correct like date, month, minutes, sec

but in hour value it is automatically reducing its value by 1. For example if last change was done

at 11 AM in report it is giving as 10 AM. I have checked all variable also no subtraction

logic I have implemented.

Can anyone help me.

Hi Julien Letellier,

Can you please share your code as I need to find models that have not been changed for past nine months.

Thanks,

Stuti
