Management of Current Time

Dynamic View Services > Specifying Dynamic View Types > Basic Specification > Management of Current Time

You can use the default runtime attribute currentTime to use the current time in a dynamic view specification. This current time of type MvDateTime can be mapped or used in conditional expressions. The current time is automatically updated by Rogue Wave® Server using a timer. See class IlsMvTimeManager to know how to control the current time.

A notification cycle is triggered each time the current time is updated.


Note: This feature is only available when using the MvTCP communication layer.

Example

Here is an extract of a view specification that uses the currentTime default attribute:

view NetworkView:

represent MyRepresentation repres:

MvDateTime time=view.currentTime;
