How to get the "current date" in the BEx?

Hi all,
I need to get the "current date" in my Bex report in order to make a comparison. I know there is a "How to" which shows how to get the current date via a User Exit, but I didn't find it. Could you please help me?
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

How to get the current date and compare dates

hi
does anyone know how you would get the current date?
furthermore, how to compare the current date with a past date to see how many days or months have past since then?
thanks

have a look at the Date class. new Date() creates an object containing the exact date and time at creation time. (Date).getTime() might be useful for comparing two dates. GregorianCalendar might be useful, too.

How to get the current Date

With the following piece of code, I am able to get the current date in bpe forms, but not when I put it in any of the forms logged in using end user(not even in end user menu).
<Field name='request.submitDate'>
<Display class='Label'>
<Property name='value'>
<invoke name='dateToString' class='com.waveset.util.Util'>
<ref>java.util.Date</ref>
</invoke>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
The following error is getting displayed in the end user menu form.
XPRESS exception:
Can't call method dateToString on class com.waveset.util.Util ==> java.lang.NullPointerException: -------can anyone please help me out
or can anyone suggest a way for getting the current date
Regards
Gajendra Nagapurkar

The <ref> tag is used to refer to the value of some variable. The value of the variable java.util.Date in your example is NULL, because it doesn't exist!
If you remove that argument from your <invoke>, the call resolves to the method com.waveset.util.Util.dateToString() and will return something like "20050810 11:00:21".

Thanks
Naveen

Naveen,
    Are yo having issue when you save something in the layout, the data doesn't appear in the listcube ? Or do you have issue that the latest data you see in the cube doesn't appear in the layout ?
For the former issue, please look at your selections of listcube and for the second issue, please check your planning level definition, make sure all the restrictions you have applied are valid for this latest data to be presented in the layout.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

How to get the current date using HTMLB JSP page

Hi All, I developed an iview with several fields using PDK, I would like to know how can I include for a date field a dynamic value witch in this case is the current date.
<hbj:inputField
id="Date"
type="date"
maxlength="10"
showHelp="TRUE"
required="TRUE"
value="???"
/>
Thanks in advance
Alexis

Hi Alexis ,
u can use the setDate("3.12.2003") function to set date for this input field.
u just change the id = Date , because in jave we have Date class. rename it to another name..
suppose id = systemDate
<%
Format formater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date syDatum = new Date();
%>
then
put
    systemDate.setDate(formater.format(syDatum));
this will set the date .....
                    Regards

How to get the current date in standby display?

My N73 ( 3.0705.1.0.31 ) displays the current date/day only in the general profile. When I switch to any other profile, that place is taken over by the profile name.
Is it possible to get the date/day displayed in a non general profile?
If it is otherwise, the 240x320 display is of little use...
V 4.0727.2.2.1
04-07-2007, RM-133
(C) Nokia N73 (Z5.01)

That's the way it goes. In addition you see the date/time on the screensaver with every/any profile.

How to get the current month number

Hi everyone,
Does anybody know how to get the current month number in Oracle Discoverer Worksheet calculation?
I try to use EUL_DATE_TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE, 'MM'), but instead I got 01-AUG-00.
If I change the data display format to MM, it will give me "08" but if I use TO_NUMBER function to convert it to number I get error "invalid number"
Is there anyway to get the current month value in number? Thanks

Scott,
Thank you so much! It works perfectly! :)
Hope you have a great day ahead!

How to Get the Current Workitem id at runtime

Hi All,
I have a scenario, where request pending with a user who has already resigned the organization. The requirement is that we need to provide a report
of the request and with whom it is pending with along with the workitem id with a forward push button.
So that if the user identifies that a request is pending with someone he can click the record and press for the forward button and a pop-up to be showed where he can enter the userid to whom he needs to forward it.
In this scenario can anyone tell me how to get the current workitem id at run time and to save it to a custom table.
I tried with method before workitem execution, but here i am not getting the current workitem id.
Can you please suggest a good solution for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Balaji

Karri,
I think i can explain you with an example.
Here is my Scenario.
A user has raised a Gate pass and it went to all approval's and got approved and the material is also sent out from the plant. Lets take the date as 1.1.2013 (A Warehouse person have done the checking and sent out of the plant).
On 1.3.2013 some of the material has been returned and a material inward request has been raised and now the warehouse person has to do a inward checking and to sent it back for the initiator for the approval, but the warehouse person has resigned the organization on 1.2.2013, now the workitem is pending with the warehouse person who has already resigned.
My scenario is once the material inward request is created and before the workitem is delivered to the warehouse person i need to get the workitem id and to store the workitem some where.
So that in future if any warehouse dept head wants to forward the workitem which are lying in the person inbox who has already resigned he can do it via a report using this workitem id.
So, can anyone help how to get the dialog workitem id before the workitem creation or execution. I tried with "method before workitem execution" but my break point is not triggering at this point.
Thanks and Regards,
Balaji
