IAdapterSetTemporalConstraint Method

void SetTemporalConstraint(
	string startTime,
	string stopTime,
	string constraintParameters
)

Sub SetTemporalConstraint ( 
	startTime As String,
	stopTime As String,
	constraintParameters As String
)

void SetTemporalConstraint(
	String^ startTime, 
	String^ stopTime, 
	String^ constraintParameters
)

abstract SetTemporalConstraint : 
        startTime : string * 
        stopTime : string * 
        constraintParameters : string -> unit 

function SetTemporalConstraint(startTime, stopTime, constraintParameters);

Parameters

startTime  String

Defines a relative or exact start time for the temporal constraint.

stopTime  String

Defines a relative or exact stop time for the temporal constraint.

constraintParameters  String

Defines any temporal parameters related to the constraint.

This method defines a temporal processing constraint for an adapter, i.e., the start and stop time over which an adapter will process data. Actual implementation of the constraint will be adapter specific. Implementations should be able to dynamically handle multiple calls to this function with new constraints. Passing in null for the startTime and stopTime should cancel the temporal constraint and return the adapter to standard / real-time operation.

The startTime and stopTime parameters can be specified in one of the following formats:

Time Format	Format Description
12-30-2000 23:59:59.033	Absolute date and time.
*	Evaluates to UtcNow.
*-20s	Evaluates to 20 seconds before UtcNow.
*-10m	Evaluates to 10 minutes before UtcNow.
*-1h	Evaluates to 1 hour before UtcNow.
*-1d	Evaluates to 1 day before UtcNow.
