Converting the Last Action Date in the Repository Tables

Has anyone been able to convert the Last Action Date in the Repository table to an actual date?

Hi, from the Supervisor FAQ:

How can I convert repository dates into something I can understand?

Hope this helps. It’s for Oracle, but it should give you some ideas if you’re on a different database.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Barbados; I did some training there many years ago for BarTel. :slight_smile:

Thank you. This works perfectly.

And by the way I worked for Bartel from 1998 - 2000.

I think I was there in 1996. It was a fun experience; I had never been there before. or since. If you need help with any more universe design issues I’ll be happy to visit again. :wink:

If you haven’t found it, there is a link in the Supervisor forum to some basic Business Objects documentation for the repository tables. The documentation is for 5.x but is good enough for 6.x as well. There are other coded values and the documentation helps figure out what’s going where.

The documentation link is in a “sticky” topic in the Supervisor forum.
