I need to run a Box in Autosys using scheduler with condition 1st day of every month and every Saturday.
I tried to add run_calendar and days_of_week: sa but this does not work.
Please let me know how to achieve this functionality.
extended calendar can have such conditions.
Create an extended calendar as
extended_calendar: Cal_name
description: runs on 1st day of the month and sat
workday: mo,tu,we,th,fr
non_workday:
holiday:
holcal:
cyccal:
adjust: 0
condition: MNTHD#1|sat
Use this calendar for your job.
condition: MNTHD#1|sat
MNTHD#1 1st day of every month
| AND
sat every saturday.
refer this link for more such conditions
Autosys calendar conditions
Hope this helps.
I have 70.000 rows of data, including a date time column (YYYY-MM-DD HH24-MM-SS.).
I want to split this data into 3 separate columns; Hour, day and Week number.
The date time column name is 'REGISTRATIONDATE' from the table 'CONTRACTS'.
This is what I have so far for the day and hour columns:
SELECT substr(REGISTRATIONDATE, 0, 10) AS "Date",
substr(REGISTRATIONDATE, 11, 9) AS "Hour"
FROM CONTRACTS;
I have seen the options to get a week number for specific dates, this assignment concerns 70.000 dates so this is not an option.
You (the OP) still have to explain what week number to assign to the first few days in a year, until the first Monday of the year. Do you assign a week number for the prior calendar year? In a Comment I asked about January 1, 2017, as an example; that was a Sunday. The week from January 2 to January 8 of 2017 is "week 1" according to your definition; what week number do you assign to Sunday, January 1, 2017?
The straightforward calculation below assigns to it week number 0. Other than that, the computation is trivial.
Notes: To find the Monday of the week for any given date dt, we can use trunc(dt, 'iw'). iw stands for ISO Week, standard week which starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.
Then: To find the first Monday of the year, we can start with the date January 7 and ask for the Monday of the week in which January 7 falls. (I won't explain that one - it's easy logic and it has nothing to do with programming.)
To input a fixed date, the best way is with the date literal syntax: date '2017-01-07' for January 7. Please check the Oracle documentation for "date literals" if you are not familiar with it.
So: to find the week number for any date dt, compute
1 + ( trunc(dt, 'iw') - trunc(date '2017-01-07', 'iw') ) / 7
This formula finds the Monday of the ISO Week of dt and subtracts the first Monday of the year - using Oracle date arithmetic, where the difference between two dates is the number of days between them. So to find the number of weeks we divide by 7; and to have the first Monday be assigned the number 1, instead of 0, we need to add 1 to the result of dividing by 7.
The other issue you will have to address is to convert your strings into dates. The best solution would be to fix the data model itself (change the data type of the column so that it is DATE instead of VARCHAR2); then all the bits of data you need could be extracted more easily, you would make sure you don't have dates like '2017-02-29 12:30:00' in your data (currently, if you do, you will have a very hard time making any date calculations work), queries will be a lot faster, etc. Anyway, that's an entirely different issue so I'll leave it out of this discussion.
Assuming your REGISTRATIONDATE if formatted as 'MM/DD/YYYY'
the simples (and the faster ) query is based ond to to_char(to_date(REGISTRATIONDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'WW')
(otherwise convert you column in a proper date and perform the conversio to week number)
SELECT substr(REGISTRATIONDATE, 0, 10) AS "Date",
substr(REGISTRATIONDATE, 11, 9) AS "Hour",
to_char(to_date(REGISTRATIONDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'WW') as "Week"
FROM CONTRACTS;
This is messy, but it looks like it works:
to_char(
to_date(RegistrationDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') +
to_number(to_char(trunc(to_date(RegistrationDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS'),'YEAR'),'D'))
- 2,
'WW')
On the outside you have the solution previous given by others but using the correct date format. In the middle there is an adjustment of a certain number of days to adjust for where the 1st Jan falls. The trunc part gets the first of Jan from the date, the 'D' gets the weekday of 1st Jan. Since 1 represents Sunday, we have to use -2 to get what we need.
EDIT: I may delete this answer later, but it looks to me that the one from #mathguy is the best. See also the comments on that answer for how to extend to a general solution.
But first you need to:
Decide what to do dates in Jan before the first Monday, and
Resolve the underlying problems in the date which prevent it being converted to dates.
On point 1, if assigning week 0 is not acceptable (you want week 52/53) it gets a bit more complicated, but we'll still be able to help.
As I see it, on point 2, either there is something systematically wrong (perhaps they are timestamps and include fractions of a second) or there are isolated cases of invalid data.
Either the length, or the format, or the specific values don't compute. The error message you got suggests that at least some of the data is "too long", and the code in my comment should help you locate that.
I want to format a date as follows: Y17W15, but there is no option to set the start of the year. However, there is no consistent way of calculating this. I cannot just subtract a month (other times I will need to show the month too), and I cannot just add 4 or 5 to the week field due to leap years, etc.
Our year starts on a Saturday that is closest to December 1. This means if November 30 is on a Saturday, the Fiscal Year will start on November 30.
Currently what I have is below, which works fine except it shows Y17W10. The easiest option in my head is to have a way to actually set the start of a fiscal year, but if I have to go through a bunch of if statements it's okay as long as it works.
MsgBox(Format(Now, """Y""yy""W""mm"""))
Thanks for your time!
I am aware that: Given a 4-5-4 calendar and a date, how do I determine what fiscal week that date falls in? exists but I am looking for an answer that isn't as hard-coded.

I've been trying to add and update data to a table in MS Access by month. This is so I can calculate any expenditures or sales per month. So if stock for a company were bought in March It would add this to the March expenditure row. And would be kept different from the expenditure in February or April for example.
I am unsure how to do this and how to have my program check the current month and year to see where it should input the data/make a new row for the month.
I know how to write to a database, I'm just not sure how to make my program write to a row in the database that depends on the current month and year
Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry If this is all long winded or this is an easy fix, its my first post here and I'm a novice when it comes to programming.
In Access, to get the current date you use the date() function. I.E. if you were to do:
SELECT DATE()
the query would return the system date, which, today would be:
26/03/2015
To do math (add or subtract a specified interval) against the date, the syntax, again in Access, is:
DATEADD([Interval],[Number],[Date])
So, if I wanted to add one month to the current date I would write:
DATEADD(m, 1, DATE())
Or conversely, subtract two months from the current date:
DATEADD(m, -2, DATE())
I've periods of time every 15 days, MOM and EOM.
What I need to check is if a date value on a date field is prior to the current period minus 1.
For example, if today is 12/29, the period is 12/31, and i need to check
if prior < 12/15
How can i get the EOM (End Of Month, i mean, the last day of the month) and the MOM (Middle of month, it's like every 15th of month) with GETDATE() function without doing a DATEADD with -15 days (because in feb will be fail, and i don't care the month)
Any help or work around will be preciated.
Thanks
If you need the value 15 then put it in your code.
If that is against your company's policies then challenge the person that made that policy. Writing 5 lines of code to replace two characters is not a good coding...
If writing the 5 lines made your application much more flexible then maybe I could understand, but you are still "hard coding" 15 into your comparisons.
Thinking in a work around, what I did it was this:
If actual day < 15 then get the month actual, convert to the first day of the month (01) and minus 1 day. I get the last day of the prior month. (EOM - 1 period)
If actual day > 15, then the prior period (MOM - 1 period) is: 15 of actual month.
It's a query with if structure.
If someone has a better answer, please answer it and I'll be accept it.
Thanks :)
