How to get the time format without the date

frasau

Hi, could you help me change the Data time format?

I have a dataset with "time" in polynomial form (00:00:00), I need to turn it into time.

I used generate attributes, but got the format "Jan 1 1970 12:00:00 AM CET"

Is there a way to have the Time format "HH: mm: ss"?

here is the xlm:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process version="9.7.000">

  <context>

    <input/>

    <output/>

    <macros/>

  </context>

  <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="9.7.000" expanded="true" name="Process">

    <parameter key="logverbosity" value="init"/>

    <parameter key="random_seed" value="2001"/>

    <parameter key="send_mail" value="never"/>

    <parameter key="notification_email" value=""/>

    <parameter key="process_duration_for_mail" value="30"/>

    <parameter key="encoding" value="SYSTEM"/>

    <process expanded="true">

      <operator activated="true" class="retrieve" compatibility="9.7.000" expanded="true" height="68" name="Retrieve dataset" width="90" x="179" y="34">

        <parameter key="repository_entry" value="//HEALTH_ANALYTICS/dataset"/>

      </operator>

      <operator activated="true" class="generate_attributes" compatibility="9.7.000" expanded="true" height="82" name="Generate Attributes (2)" width="90" x="380" y="34">

        <list key="function_descriptions">

          <parameter key="Test" value="date_parse_custom([Time],&quot;HH:mm:ss&quot;,&quot;it&quot;)"/>

        </list>

        <parameter key="keep_all" value="true"/>

      </operator>

      <connect from_op="Retrieve dataset" from_port="output" to_op="Generate Attributes (2)" to_port="example set input"/>

      <connect from_op="Generate Attributes (2)" from_port="example set output" to_port="result 1"/>

      <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>

      <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>

      <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>

    </process>

  </operator>

</process>

You can set the data type for that attribute to "time" rather than "date/time" and that should do the trick.
