Getting Data In

Groovy - Date Format

Hi,

This would be very useful If I get any example.

I am using Groovy to retrieve savedSearch results. My code is continuously failing because of data format.

         def etime=request.headers.get("earliestTime")
         def ltime=request.headers.get("LatestTime")
          dispatchArgs.setDispatchTimeFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.mmm-05:00")
          dispatchArgs.setDispatchEarliestTime(etime)
          dispatchArgs.setDispatchLatestTime(ltime)
         Job job = savedSearch.dispatch(dispatchArgs)

I am getting the earliestTime and LatestTime in the date-format of pattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.mmm-05:00".

It would be helpful If you point where the above code going wrong. OR practical any example.

I referenced the above code from http://dev.splunk.com/view/java-sdk/SP-CAAAEKY

Thanks,
Phanendra Meduri

Your time format string is in neither the Groovy nor Splunk format. Try either "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX" or "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3N%z".
