Actual Date & Time via D&TConfig Node by running on KNIME HUB

Hi,

my workflow is running on our KNIME Business Hub without errors or warnings, but the actual date is necessary for the results and is not being updated.
I used the Date&Time Configuration Node with the default value set to “Use execution time” and the parameter name “date-input.”

When I manually restart the node, everything works fine. However, the Hub doesn’t seem to generate the actual date during automatic execution.

Where could the issue be?

Hello there,

we are right now correcting this behaviour, so when you check “use execution time” the actual execution time is used for automatic execution.

This will be likely already released with the next KNIME Business Hub release.

Thank you for reporting!

Thanks for the very fast answer !
I was quite impressed in speed and the for me simple reason.

When can we expect the next Hub release to get my things done ?

Hello,

We are unable to give exact timelines for upcoming releases, but it should be some time in early-mid September.

Thank you,
Nickolaus

Just an update on this, this won’t make it into Business Hub release 1.12.0, but for 1.13 it is looking good right now.

ok, thank you for informing me.
Do you know an workaround for this problem. The release might be month´s away.

Hello there,

sorry for the late reply.

If you just need the current date in your workflow, you could use this node and set it up to generate a single row.

Hope this helps in the meantime
