HOW TO
An input connector plays an important role in a GeoEvent Service as it collects and interprets data from a data source. When creating an input connector under the Advanced options, a date format can be set for the input connector under Expected Date Format. The following shows the common format:
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ
Based on the ISO 8601 standard, the T parameter acts as a delimiter, between the date and time-of-day, while the Z parameter is an abbreviation for zero hour-minutes-seconds, also known as Zulu in UTC time.
However, when using this common format, the following error message is returned intermittently:
Error: Error converting JSON node to GeoEvent.
As Expected Date Format is only applicable for numerical digits, the input connectors do not recognize the T and Z alphabetical characters.
To configure the date format in the GeoEvent Server input connectors with T and Z characters, insert single quotes for the T and Z characters.
The following instructions describe how to set the correct format for Expected Date Format in ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager when creating an input connector.
yyyyMMdd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'
The image below shows the Advanced options in the Inputs tab in ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager.
