The times attempt to be ISO8601 compliant, for Hours and earlier. Although I noticed that tidbit of information is missing for the docs, we'll get it added. See TimeUtils

private static final Pattern SIMPLE  = Pattern.compile( "([+-])?((\\d+)[Dd])?\\s*((\\d+)[Hh])?\\s*((\\d+)[Mm])?\\s*((\\d+)[Ss])?\\s*((\\d+)([Mm][Ss])?)?" );

    public static long parseTimeString( String time ) {
        String trimmed = time.trim();
        long result = 0;
        if( trimmed.length() > 0 ) {
            Matcher mat = SIMPLE.matcher( trimmed );
            if ( mat.matches() ) {
                int days = (mat.group( SIM_DAY ) != null) ? Integer.parseInt( mat.group( SIM_DAY ) ) : 0;
                int hours = (mat.group( SIM_HOU ) != null) ? Integer.parseInt( mat.group( SIM_HOU ) ) : 0;
                int min = (mat.group( SIM_MIN ) != null) ? Integer.parseInt( mat.group( SIM_MIN ) ) : 0;
                int sec = (mat.group( SIM_SEC ) != null) ? Integer.parseInt( mat.group( SIM_SEC ) ) : 0;
                int ms = (mat.group( SIM_MS ) != null) ? Integer.parseInt( mat.group( SIM_MS ) ) : 0;
                long r = days * DAY_MS + hours * HOU_MS + min * MIN_MS + sec * SEC_MS + ms;
                if( mat.group(SIM_SGN) != null && mat.group( SIM_SGN ).equals( "-" ) ) {
                    r = -r;
                }
                result = r;
            } else if( "*".equals( trimmed ) || "+*".equals( trimmed ) ) {
                // positive infinity
                result = Long.MAX_VALUE;
            } else if( "-*".equals( trimmed ) ) {
                // negative infinity
                result = Long.MIN_VALUE;
            } else {
                throw new RuntimeDroolsException( "Error parsing time string: [ " + time + " ]" );
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

What are the available symbolics for temporal values?
That is, d is for days, m is for minutes, h is for hours, s is for seconds.
Are there any other symbolics specifically for months and years?

You can use ms for millisecond. There are no universally acceptable duration values for monts and years .
-W
 

I haven't found any mentioning of them in the Fusion manual.
I'm using 5.0.1

Thank you,
