Hi,
Is there any ESQL function available to give the current date in a given time zone as in JAVA?
I searched in InfoCenter but could not locate any such function.
Regards,

| AFAIK there is no such inbuilt function available in ESQL. You should either add or sub from the GMT Timestamp. |

Timestamps are either GMT or in the broker's locale because that's typically what you'd use; the GMT for messages passing round the back office, local time for something a user would see.

You can always set up a java function to transform your timestamp from one timezone to the other...

Yes,
That is the last option but it comes with an overhead of having a static method only for getting current date.
Better I would write my own function to create date in the given time zone from the current time.
Thanks for your replies.

You can do so in ESQL without much of a problem.
However you should be aware of the following
- In ESQL you would have to provide your own time zone offset for at least the target
- You should always provide the CURRENT_GMTTIMEZONE as input
- Don't know if the "feature" always giving the current offset to GMT when dealing with a (prior/future) date has been fixed in the current version...
This is why I thought that using Java which takes care of all of the above problems would not be a hardship there.
Have fun
