hello everyone
I have a script for Insert information on database I used a TAG Events on Value Changed.
I have a TAG called TimeDiff that takes me the minutes.
in my insert I call this tag so that it gives me the minutes it has to save them in my database
but it only saves me 00:00:00
I do not save the minutes it takes
Your column configuration at DB seems to have the wrong type. It looks like you have configured it as datetime but youâre giving a unicode. When you do system.date.format(datetime,âHH:mm:ssâ) youâre only extracting the time part as string but not the date.
Reconfigure your db column to be Time() or LongBlob() datatype.
My column is Type TIME
What happens if you donât do the format, and send a date type object instead of a string?
Iâm assuming that youâre print statements reveal that timeDiff is not zero.
Yes is for reveal that timeDiff is not zero and when I donât do the format is similar, insert just 00:00:00
Have you tried manually executing the query for example in SSMS/Workbench/etc.? Or even just in Ignitionâs query tool
Clasping at straws here, but what if you cast the original date.format to a string?
Contador = system.date.format(Contador, 'HH:mm:ss')
Contador = str(Contador)
What is the print Contador line printing out?
keep saving 00:00:00
Are you actually getting a non-zero print out for the timeDiff variable in line 10?
He showed this in the OP:
Yeah, but that is an expression tag that could be changing (plus he is reading the MemTimeDiff tag not the TimeDiff tag which is confusing me). Would also double check the tag hierarchy here as the relative tagpath [.]../MemTimeDiff indicates the script should be on a tag in a folder one level down from the MemTimeDiff tag (if I remember my .'s correctly).
Youâre right⌠I must be tired 
@antonio.sanchez I see you mentioned earlier that you are getting a non-zero value for your timeDiff variable, but I didnât actually see the result of the print, just a screenshot of your tags. Can you post the actual results from your print statements here?
Can you print âContadorâ in line 15 with:
system.util.getLogger("TimeContador").info(str(Contador))
And trigger a value change, Go to Gateway web page>Status>Logs and see the value
Is that what the logger logged orâŚ? (you updated the screenshot) If so, you have your answer, youâre passing in 00:00:00 into the insert
Are you sure this shouldnât be TimeDiff instead of MemTimeDiff?
What is the value of the MemTimeDiff tag?
This value must be 0 at the moment
Also, where is the tag you have this script defined on in relation to your MemTimeDiff tag? Is it in the same folder or a different sub folder?
Because it does appear to be reading and isnât null, Iâd assume that the tag link is correct
