Problem in Getting VC Server Current time.

[vijaybhosale]

Hi,

I am connecting the VC and trying to collect VC server current Time.

The below code snippet returning the client machine time instead of VC server time.

start = this._service.currentTime( this._svcRef );

System.out.println("Service CurrentTime "+start.getTime());

Can some one tell me the exact steps to get VC server time using VI SDK?

Thanks,

Vijay

You code seems fine. How did you tell the return is the client side time?

BTW, Do you run your client on the same machine as the VC server?

No client machine and VC are in different Time zones.

Just coded a sample for you using VI Java API.

package test;

import java.net.URL;

import com.vmware.vim25.mo.ServiceInstance;

public class ServerTime

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

{

if(args.length!=3)

{

System.out.println("Usage: java ServerTime <url> " +

"<username> <password>");

return;

}

String urlStr = args[0];

String username = args[1];

String password = args[2];

ServiceInstance si = new ServiceInstance(new URL(urlStr),

username, password, true);

java.util.Calendar cal = si.currentTime();

System.out.println("server time:" + cal.getTime());

si.getServerConnection().logout();

}

}
