Can the variable defined support current timestamp? about restcommander

[jeffpeiyt]

Hi, could u elaborate? If you are using the REST API, you can define any value to replace the variable. u can put the timestamp or anything for sure.

How can I obtain the current system timestamp? Function like SYSDATE or
SYSTIMESTAMP in SQL.
And possibly format the time to specific format like YYYYMMDD

if you are using rest client or rest API, you can generate that timestamp string and put it in your rest call.

Here is a python rest client: http://www.restcommander.com/monitoring-sample.html

we also have a java rest client to be published too

"map":{
"APIVARREPLACE_TIME_STAMP":"20140310"
}
