Set context variable to Timestamp in seconds not possible?

[Sebastian van Voorn]

Hello,

As suggested in Layer7 API Management

It should be possible to generate a future timestamp in seconds. But somehow I cannot change this timestamp to <Second Timestamp>. I allways get the UTC timestamp.
I use the V11.0.00.17019-CR02 container version.

HI Sebastian 

 You can get the content of that variable in seconds (epoch time ) when you use it like 

you can get the value of the variable containing the date/time in seconds in the following way 

${exptim.seconds}

see following part in the docs for more option

Hello Dirk,

That was very helpful. What a simple solution.

I suggest to improve the documentation with this casting feature of the date-time variable. I could not understand this from the documentation.

Thanks.
