Class CIMDateTimeAbsolute

java.lang.Object
javax.cim.CIMDateTime
javax.cim.CIMDateTimeAbsolute
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<CIMDateTime>
public class CIMDateTimeAbsolute extends CIMDateTime
This class represents the datetime data type when used as a time value as specified in the CIM Infrastructure specification. It is in the format yyyyMMddHHmmss.SSSSSSsutc where:
  • yyyy - is a 4 digit year
  • MM - is the month
  • dd - is the day of the month
  • HH - is the hour (24 hour clock)
  • mm - is the minute
  • ss - is the second
  • SSSSSS - is the number of microseconds
  • s - is "+" or "-", indicating the sign of the UTC (Universal Coordinated Time; for all intents and purposes the same as Greenwich Mean Time)
  • utc - is the offset from UTC in minutes (using the sign indicated by s).
For example Monday, May 25, 1998, at 1:30 PM EST would be represented as: 19980525133015.000000-300. Values must be zero-padded so that the entire string is always the same 25-character length. Fields which are not significant must be replaced with asterisk characters.
