      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.datamanagementtools.ConvertTimeZone

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class ConvertTimeZone
extends AbstractGPTool

Converts time values recorded in a date field from one time zone to another time zone. The Convert Time Zone tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The input time values to be converted must be stored in a Date field.
• The added output time field will be a Date type field.
• If your data was collected in a time zone which uses Daylight Savings, then you should choose the parameters to honor Daylight Savings in the input and output fields. .

Parameters:

inTable - the input feature class or table that contains the time stamps which will be transformed to a different time zone.

getInputTimeField

public java.lang.Object getInputTimeField()

Returns the Input Time Field parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input field that contains the time stamps which will be transformed to a different time zone. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input Time Field

setInputTimeField

public void setInputTimeField(java.lang.Object inputTimeField)

Sets the Input Time Field parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input field that contains the time stamps which will be transformed to a different time zone. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inputTimeField - the input field that contains the time stamps which will be transformed to a different time zone.

getInputTimeZone

public java.lang.String getInputTimeZone()

Returns the Input Time Zone parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input time zone in which the time stamps were collected. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input Time Zone

setInputTimeZone

public void setInputTimeZone(java.lang.String inputTimeZone)

Sets the Input Time Zone parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input time zone in which the time stamps were collected. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inputTimeZone - the input time zone in which the time stamps were collected.

getOutputTimeField

public java.lang.String getOutputTimeField()

Returns the Output Time Field parameter of this tool . This parameter is the output field in which the transformed time stamps will be stored. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
