============
Calculating the difference between two dates in BusinessEvents(BE)
              OR
Is there a function in BusinessEvents(BE) that calculates the difference between two dates?


Environment:
==========

   o TIBCO BusinessEvents 3.0.1

   o TIBCO Designer



Resolution:
==========
BusinessEvents does not have functions to directly calculate the difference between two dates. However, you can use the following approach which uses existing DateTime functions available in BE to calculate the difference between two dates.


===================================================================================
long d1 = DateTime.getTimeInMillis(DateTime.createTime(2010,1,1,0,0,0,null));

long d2 = DateTime.getTimeInMillis(DateTime.createTime(2010,3,1,0,0,0,null));

long d3 = d2-d1;

long oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

long differenceInDays = d3/oneDay;
