Accessing Current Date and Time from the Database

Oracle’s application development framework exposes functionality to your business object scripts through the predefined adf variable. For example, to reference the database's current date, use the following expression:

adf.currentDBDate

To reference the application server's current date including the current time, use the expression:

adf.currentDBDateTime

Note: This function is valid in any Groovy script specific to a particular business object. If necessary to pass the information into other contexts, you can pass its value as a parameter to a function call.
