Want to pass date /time parameter in a REST message

[Mrman]

Hi All,

I am creating a REST message with GET method for getting CI details from 3rd party   tool. We need to pass a parameter called "CHANGEDATE" while sending the GET method .

" Change date for list of Configuration Items to be returned (for example records modified in last 3 days). If value is empty, all Configuration Item records are returned. "

After Creating REST Message I am calling it from a scheduled job as we need to query on daily basis . Now the requirement is to pass the current date and time for below( Marked in Green) in script . Please Guide.

try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('name_of_outbound_rest_message', 'get');
r.setStringParameter('CHANGEDATE', 'currentDateTIme'); =============================> Please Guide how to give Current date and time here .
var response = r.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

HI Ravi,

The method gs.nowDateTime()(GMT) or gs.now() will work.

thanks,

Swati

Hi Ravishankar,

You should try this...

gs.nowNoTZ()

It returns the current UTC date time. Ex: 2017-05-31 09:21:19

Hi Shiva,

Please guide whether this is correct .

try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('name_of_outbound_rest_message', 'get');

var dtt = gs.nowNoTZ()
r.setStringParameter('CHANGEDATE', dtt); =============================> Please Guide how to give Current date and time here .
var response = r.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

Just to be sure I would add a toString to cast your parameter

r.setStringParameter('CHANGEDATE', gs.nowNoTZ().toString() );
