Re: Extract time from RunStart of a job

Hi Dana,

I guess you want to use the value in calculations. You could just take the Date, truncate day, get the millis from that and substract that value from your date/time.

See DateTimeZone, you have a truncateDay.

example:

long StartTime = j.getRunStart().getUTCMilliSecs() - j.getRunStart().truncateDay().getUTCMilliSecs();

Regards,

HP
