I need to change date and time coding itself using c#. Please can you give me a solution.. Regards, Karthik.

Hi karthik,

Please see my solution in

https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-10621

Basically, you issue a dummy request to the server to get its time stamp and calculate your times from that value

Hi ,

Sorry i studied that document.I coundn't understand it.

I am using the code C#.

Can u please give me a solution in C#?

Regards,

Karthik

I won't be able to give you an actual C# example until I return on Tuesday from holiday. Essentially, make a web request to http://server/rest and read the "date"

Response header. You then use that date as a basis for computing the date for your requests. O

Hi

These are the steps i have followed to create sample,

            const string host = "cloudonestorage.peer1.com";
            const int port = 443;
            const string userName = "";
            const string secret = "";

            EsuRestApi cloudRest = new EsuRestApi(host, port, userName, secret);         
            UploadHelper upload = new UploadHelper(cloudRest);
            ObjectId objectId = null;
            objectId = upload.CreateObject("C://Users//karthike//Desktop//Element.docx", null, null);   

How can i make a we request to server and get the date?

Hi, How can i get the response header date using C#?

Can you please give me a solution?

Thanks,

Karthik E.

Karthik,

Jason is suggesting that you make simple HTTP request to this URL:  https://cloudonestorage.peer1.com/rest

In the HTTP response will be a Date header that reflects the current server time.  You can parse that header and compare the server time to your local system time and adjust your outgoing request timestamp accordingly.

Hi,

I gave the web request and get the response header date.

header date is like : Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:29:18 GMT

My local sytem time is like: Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:22:32 GMT

Now i need to add 7 min to local time and then add that value to header in following code in EsuRestApi.cs,

                DateTime dateHeader1 = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
                dateHeader1.AddMinutes(7);
                string dateHeader = dateHeader1.ToString("r");

              
                log.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Verbose, 0,  "Date: " + dateHeader );
                headers.Add( "Date", dateHeader );

Is this Right? I followed tihs procedure.I can get the same timeout error.Did i do anything wrong?

Is there any other way to adjust the outgoing request timestamp?

How can i adjust the outgoing request timestamp?

Please give me a solution.

Regards,

Karthik.

Hi Karthik,

Try:

                DateTime dateHeader1 = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
                dateHeader1 = dateHeader1.AddMinutes(7);
                string dateHeader = dateHeader1.ToString("r");

              
                log.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Verbose, 0,  "Date: " + dateHeader );
                headers.Add( "Date", dateHeader );

DateTime objects are immutable.

I'm working on getting this built-in to the dotnet API.

Karthik,

Can you check out the latest version of EsuRestApi.cs from subversion?  I added a CalculateServerOffset() method and a ServerOffset property.  You can insert the following code at startup:

EsuRestApi api = new EsuRestApi(...);
api.ServerOffset = api.CalculateServerOffset();

Hi Jason,

Do you think this solution works for Load balanced ATMOS servers having different time? Is the ATMOS server time supposed to be a fixed value?

Thanks,

Ravi
