Method Detail

getCurrentUwlSystemTime

public Date getCurrentUwlSystemTime()

Specifies the time when method call began. Time is measures on the machine where UWL is running. This time is cluster safe and taken from the database server.

Returns:

non null

setCurrentUwlSystemTime

public void setCurrentUwlSystemTime(Date d)

This is for internal usage only.

Parameters:

d - non null

getFromTime

public Date getFromTime()

Specifies explictly what is the start date for retrieving items. For example, for history items, only past 3 months are important.

Returns:

could be null. Caller has to take care of it.

setFromTime

public void setFromTime(Date date)

Sets the from time.

Parameters:

date -

getLastUwlSynchronizationTime

public Date getLastUwlSynchronizationTime()

Specifies the time when last synchronization was done. This time is w.r.t to UWL and not the item's systems time.

Returns:

could be null

setLastUwlSynchronizationTime

public void setLastUwlSynchronizationTime(Date date)

Specifies the time when last synchronization was done. This time is w.r.t to UWL and not the item's systems time.

Parameters:

date - could be null

getLastSystemSynchronizationTime

public Date getLastSystemSynchronizationTime()

Provider Connector optionally may set the time at the system, when returning the result. In such cases, it is stored in uwl and passed back the next time getItems() is called. Do note that if Provider resides in the same box as UWL there is no need for this time since UWL time is same as the Provider systems time.

Returns:

could be null if not yet set.
