This page describes the timestamps that are relevant for the role of a service engineer. There are more different timestamps used internally but these should not be mentioned here. There for it is best to understand timestamps in UBIK from a non-developer perspective: From this view we care about 5 different timestamp names and their usage on 4 levels: CreationTimeStamp, UpdateTimeStamp, ValidationTimeStamp, ExportTimeStamp and ImportTimeStamp. The usages are best explained when assigning these timestamps to different levels where they are used:
- On Object(instance)level: cts (CreationTimeStamp), uts (UpdateTimeStamp)
- On Propertylevel: vts (ValidationTimeStamp)
- On Proxylevel: ets (ExportTimeStamp), its (ImportTimeStamp)
- On ProxyPropertylevel: ets (ExportTimeStamp), its (ImportTimeStamp)
