When you want to specialize the date and time selection
criteria, you can create your own custom algorithm.
About this task
You can configure a selector to work with the following:
- A date as specified using the tool.
- A date returned from a Java™ expression
- A date stored in an attribute of the incoming business object.
By default, scheduling is set on Current Date.
To change this, proceed as follows:
Procedure
- In the destination area of the selector, create a new active
destination by clicking the
icon. Date fields will appear
with the current date.
- In the Selection Criteria table, click Current
date. You will then have the following choices:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Current® date |
Choose this to use the inline interactive calendar to select
the dates graphically. If you choose this, then the system will create
a java snippet that will return a current java.util.date object. |
| Java |
Choose this to use the visual snippet editor to graphically
compose your own Java code that
will obtain a date and a time, and return a java.util.date to the
selector component. |
| XPath |
Choose this to specify an XPath to a xsd:datetime (java.util.date)
parameter. The parameter can either be a stand-alone, or it can be
embedded within a business object. |
