Running Segment with specific Date and Time 3.0

Overview

This article explains how to run a process segment using the specified date and time.

Applies To and Version Info

This feature applies to Track and Trace module and is available in version 3.8x and above.

Scripting

Execute

Code

##	Executes a segment and sets all properties to the given date and time
##
eqPath = 'Your Enterprise\New Site\Receiving\Milk Unloading'
seg = system.mes.createSegment('Test Date Operation', eqPath, True)
seg.setMaterial('Material In', 'Whole Milk', 'Your Enterprise\New Site\Receiving\Receiving Tanks\Whole Milk Tank 2', 'Lot 23', 200.0)
# ... set any other segment properties ...
##	Executes a segment and sets all properties to the given date and time instead of the current date time
from java.util import Calendar
cal = Calendar.getInstance()
# set date to Dec 4, 2016 1:30pm  
cal.set(2016, 11, 4, 13, 30, 00)## Jan=0...Dec=11
dateTime = cal.getTime()
seg.execute(dateTime)

Begin, Update and End

Copy Code

Code

##	Set custom date and times for a segment
##  NOTE: all segment requirements are the same as if the segment is being run without setting the dates manually (in current time)
##  This example has been broken up into three different scriptlets to illustrate that the begin, update and end calls may be called
##  from different scripts.
