How to convert Date YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format

[Rajanmehta]

hello we are on Newyork.

I have a need to convert default time format  YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS in Servicenow  to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format. (Excluding Seconds), because the tool, we are sending this accepts only  YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format.

How can I do that? The final value should be of Date time only.

So 2020-02-20 23:09:18  should return 2020-02-20 23:09

Please advise.

Thanks,

Rajan

hi Brian,

I am using the API of the other system (Dynatrace), making POST call to create new downtime in that system so that Alerts are suppressed. 

Thanks,

Right but what format?  Like json?

[Rajanmehta]

Yes Brian,

In Jason format. Here is the example in POSTMAN.

JSON always send date as a string.  Which would make jacebeson's post below make sense that the API is looking for an integer.

I just had a chat with Dynatrace service Team, and they mentioned it is taking as String value. (Not integer) So I think I have to find out what is blocking me.

Thanks.
