Dear All,
I want to create a report using XL reporter and attach it to the main SAP B1 reports module . For this I have created the template using report composer .
Issue:
I have only one sub-period (ie,year wise in the posting periods)
how i can select the date range in the Composer and attach it to the main menu.

Date range for key date in hierarchy

Dear Friends,
Is there a work around for single key date restriction for time dependent hierarchy.Bcos i can only select one key date in teh report for my hierarchy so that it will take that hierarchy which falls in this date and display the result accordingly.
But is there a way to select the date range for key date so that more than one hierarchy can be used to display my report accrding to the time range.
Say,i have 4 hierarchies (time dependent) like v1,v2,v3,v4 and v5 for jan 08,feb 08,mar 08,apr 08 & may 08 respectively.
In my report,i want to display the result for the time interval say mar to May.
So my report should diplay the result according to the 3 different hierarchies for the time period i.e.v3,v4&v5.
How do i acheive this.
Thanks.
ragu

Hi
I think we may do with the Char with text with replecement path.
take time char as Calmonth and set the offet value as -1 and -2 and design the report and use the hierarchies in that query.
Am not surt it willwork but better to try with this.

How to prompt date range for a single column in reports

Hi All,
I am having a prompt which shows from date and to date, both these columns will come from day column of calendar .We want that our report values should be between the from date and to date.Can someone tell me how can this be achieved.Because if we build a report we will pull day column from calendar and say its prompted.How can we get the condition that day clumn should be between from date and to date of prompt.
Thanks and Regards,
Amrit

Hi vineet,
Thanks for your reply
I am having one prompt where we will have two columns from date and to date, both these columns are coming from same column called day in mth_calendar.I am having 1 report where the date range should lie between from date and to date of prompt.In this case should I use your second suggestion or the first one.
Thanks,
Amrit

How to achieve the from and to date range in report builder 3.

I AM TRYING TO CREATE ONE REPORT FROM REPORT BUILDER 3.
WHERE I AM UNABLE TO DEFINE THE DATE RANGE.
HOW TO ACHIEVE THE DATE RANGE IN REPORT BUILDER.
NEED FROM DATE AND TO DATE FILTER IN REPORT BUILDER FOR PK DATE.

Hi Ganesh,
According to your description, you create a report in Report Builder 3.0, and create two parameters FromDate and EndDate, now you want to use the parameters in your MDX query, right?
If in this case, here is a sample query for your reference.
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@StartDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@EndDate+"]")
) on columns

Data source for report

Hi guys.
Can somebody let me know how to set data source for report?
I did import "import.zip" and "bootstrp.zip".
I did run "HFPBMMAK.PRO".
I did create model connection of "HFPBM"
Best Regards,
Chul.

Chul,
You only have to import either import.zip OR the bootstrap.zip, not both.
I don't know if you have SSM 7.5 or SSM 10, this will be for 7.5
If you have followed the set-up correctly, you should be able to open the demolauncher -
http://localhost:50000/strategy/pilotworks/demolauncher.htm
Where localhost = server 50000 = port
You should open the Administrator interface of your demo and Set Scorecard Defaults. For a context make sure that the PAS Model Connection is set for the model connection you set - HFPBM.
You also need to make sure that Manage Application Groups have your user added for the context you selected.
(For 10 the application groups are managed in NetWeaver)

How to make cube data avilable for reporting

Hello,
I have loaded data in to info cube from flat file, and created a query using BEx Analyzer. that query does not return results and gives an error msg "No Applicable Data Found".
Padmanabha Rao had a same problem. In his thread, expert is recommending to check whether the data is available for Reporting by Rt clicking Infocube -> Manage -> Requests tab. Ideally, you'll be able see an indicator(Query icon) if it's available for reporting.
My cube data is not available for reporting, how can I make it available for reporting?
Regards,
Tejas.

Normally when the data gets loaded to cube, it will be available for reporting unlike DSO where you need to activate the data to make it available for reporting. There could be many reasons why the data is not available for reporting;
1. May be there is aggregrates created on the cube and the data never been rolled up to the aggregates. If you see a summation sign next to the cube then there is aggregates created on the cube and you need to fill the aggregates first before you can have the data available for reporting in the cube. To do that, manage ->rollup and start, that will fill the aggregates.
2. If there is any request in the cube which is still red, then any request after that won't be available for reporting until you either delete the red request.
If the problem still persist, then I would just delete all the data from the cube and reload the data again.
thanks.

User-filtered report based on date range

I am struggling with trying to implement a basic search that includes an optional date range for the data. The form looks the way I want it, but I can't seem to get the right syntax in the query. I can't get anything other than "no rows" to show up in the query if I implement a clause selecting records based on the time.
Here is a working query (without the time):
select m.AUDIT_ID, m.TIMESTAMP, m.LOC_ID, a.AREA, s.SUBAREA, d.OBSERVATIONS
from transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_MAIN m, transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_DETAIL d,
transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_AREA a, transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_SUBAREA s
where m.AUDIT_ID = d.AUDIT_ID (+)
and d.AREA_ID = a.AREA_ID
and d.SUBAREA_ID = s.SUBAREA_ID
and s.SUBAREA_ID NOT IN (198,199,398,399,498,499,798,799,898,899,999)
and (instr(upper(a.AREA),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,AREA))) > 0
or instr(upper(s.SUBAREA),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,SUBAREA))) > 0
or instr(upper(d.OBSERVATIONS),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,OBSERVATIONS))) > 0)
I want to compare the m.TIMESTAMP column with page items P210_FROM_DATE and P210_TO_DATE.
I would also like to add in an optional filter comparing m.LOC_ID to P210_LOCATION, and I can't seem to figure out the "optional" part.
Any ideas would be helpful.

The query as I posted it returns 3 values, but it is not syntactically identical to the one APEX is using. I would be happy to get 3 rows in APEX because at least that way I would know I have the date formatting correct, and just needed to tweak the logic. When I execute the query in APEX, however, I get either "there is no data to display" or I get a formatting error - "X is not a valid month" - depending on how I use TO_CHAR and TO_DATE to try and synchronize the various date inputs with the field.
If it is a query issue (which it may be), I am still suspecting that it is something to do with the formatting of the dates involved. Just as in APEX, it could be something simple, but I suspect it is a mismatch in the formatting somewhere.
Maybe I'll try making a view of the underlying table and experimenting with the date in the view. That should enable me to see if it is the formatting in the query or the formatting in APEX that is causing the problem. Or it could even eliminate formatting as the problem as well.
PS. I had a similar struggle trying to implement some triggers against this database that used date values. NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is set to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24.MI.SS.FF'. I ended up converting every date that I pulled from the database into a known format with TO_CHAR and then converting it back into a date with TO_DATE. It was the only way to be able to compare the date values without getting these same kinds of errors.

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.

Find date range for sick leaves

Hi,
Ive been trying to get readable output from HR system.
I have added the source data into Data Model, since i had to read the data with power query. Now i have pivot table like this:
date       workdaY?   user
6.3.2014   Sickleave   user1
1.2.2014   Sickleave   user2
2.2.2014   Sickleave   user2
5.3.2014   Sickleave   user4
5.3.2014   Sickleave   user1
5.5.2014   Sickleave   user1
16.9.2014 Sickleave   user3
7.3.2014   Sickleave   user1
6.5.2014   Sickleave   user1
6.3.2014   Sickleave   user4
Is there any possible way to get some kind of find function to sort and combine the data like this:
user1       Sickleave   5.3-7.3.2014
user1       Sickleave   5.5-6.5.2014
user2       Sickleave   1.2-2.2.2014
user3       Sickleave   16.9-16.9.2014
user4       Sickleave   5.3-6.3.2014

One way to do this is with a VBA macro. The following should get you started.
As you can see looking at the macro, the original data is assumed to be on a worksheet named HRData and starts in A1.
The results are placed on the same worksheet but starting at cell G1. You could easily write the results to another worksheet.
The original data is copied to a temporary worksheet for sorting (and the temporary sheet is subsequently deleted).
A Class Module is added so we can use a User Defined Object which has the properties of the user name, start date and end date of the vacation period.
We then cycle through the sorted data, and create a Sickleave object and add it to a collection. If the "previous" row has the same user, and the date is one more than the previous End Date, we add one to the previous end date; if not, we
create a new object and start another sickleave period.
This is the data input:
and here are the results:
To enter this Macro (Sub), <alt-F11> opens the Visual Basic Editor.
Ensure your project is highlighted in the Project Explorer window.
First, from the top menu, select Insert/Class Module. Highlight the new class module in the Project Explorer; click F4, and rename it to cSickLeave
Then paste the code below into that class module:
=======================================
Option Explicit
Private pUser As String
Private pStartDt As Date
Private pEndDt As Date
Public Property Get User() As String
User = pUser
End Property
Public Property Let User(Value As String)
pUser = Value
End Property
Public Property Get StartDt() As Date
StartDt = pStartDt
End Property
Public Property Let StartDt(Value As Date)
pStartDt = Value
End Property
Public Property Get EndDt() As Date
EndDt = pEndDt
End Property
Public Property Let EndDt(Value As Date)
pEndDt = Value
End Property
Then, from the top menu, select Insert/Module and
paste the code below into the regular module window that opens.
To use this Macro (Sub), <alt-F8> opens the macro dialog box. Select the macro by name, and <RUN>.
====================================

How can I set a date range for a Date/Time Field in LiveCycle ES2?

I need to set a specific date range for a form set up in LiveCycle ES2. Cannot see where i allows me to do that without a code entered.

Hi,
You can't set a start and end date for the date/time field, the best you can do is validate the range after the user has selected it.
An alternate is to make your own date / time field, like this sample http://adobelivecycledesignercookbookbybr001.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/an-alternative-date-p icker-for.html

EasyDMS - search by date range for characteristics of type date

Hi Folks,
I have a characteristic of type date in the additional data of a DMS document. If I enter the date (for example validity date) as 08/31/2009 and search using cv04n and give a date range for the characteristic (i.e. 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009), the search result will bring up the document.
However, I cannot do this from the EasyDMS find function. I need to specify an exact date. This is not very helpful for user who need to find documents with a validity date between 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009 for example. Is there a way users can search for date range in EasyDMS find function?
Thanks,
Lashan

To search a date range with EasyDMS Client you have to set the registry key
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\EasyDms\Generel\DateSearchPick to Value 0
Then you can use the input field like in SAP-Gui. (01.01.2009-31.01.2009)
If you set the value to 1 or the key is not defined you can only search for one specified date.
If you don't find this key on your PC create it as dword.
Maybe you must restart you PC for takeing effect.
Hope this will help you.

How to Dynamically Select the Data File for a Report at Print Time

How do you configure a Crystal report to ask for the file to be reported on as the report is being printed, and allow the user to browse to the file?
The environment is Crystal Reports XI, SP3, with ODBC connection to Sage Timberline Office data version 9.7. The client names their Payroll unposted time file each pay period, and also needs to report on their posted data file, depending on the time period for the report. The client will need to select both the date range and the file name.
I have created a SQL statement in Add Command in Database Expert, which prompts for a file name, but it does not let you browse to select a file on the computer.
Therefore, in the prompts when they print the report, the parameter offers the user a default file name similar to the name they currently use, so they only have to change the payroll period end date in the supplied file name to run the report successfully.
The client is concerned that sometimes a user will name their data file differently, and not know how to input the file name into the Crystal report prompt at print time.
My research on dynamic prompts showed you can link to fields inside the data record, but I did not see a way to dynamically link to select the actual files used in the report.
Another question is that the naming convention used by the SQL query is different than the basic Windows file name, but I think I can handle that issue.
The actual file name is typically similar to:
04-10-11 BP NEW.PRT
However, in the SQL query, the record ID looks like:
PRT_00-00-00 BP NEW__TIME
The SQL Statement using a parameter is:
SELECT
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE1"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job",
"JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME" AS "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job"="JOB1"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE1"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})
UNION ALL
( SELECT
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE2"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job",
"JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"{?NEWPRT}" AS "PRT_NEW__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job"="JOB2"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE2"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})

Hello,
Sorry you'll have to contact Sage on how to do this. We can help you once you get connected but we can't help you get around their connection methods.
There is no Preview Set Database Connection method you can use in CR Designer. The Designer assumes you select it first or use the Set Location option before previewing or refreshing the data.
If you are doing this in the Sage program itself we can't help you, you'll have to contact Sage for assistance.
Sage is an OEM Partner they are responsible for supporting their product and CR. If they have issues help you then they will contact us directly for assistance.
Thank you

Specifying a Date Range for Interactive Reports

Hi All,
I'm currently working on Oracle Application Express 11. We have created an application with a standard reports page. On this page there are the following items:
HTML Region 1: (Parameters)
Start Date: (Date Picker)
End Date: (Date Picker)
Amount: (Displays Read-Only Amount)
HTML Region 2: (Specify Report)
Violation Reports (link 1)
Correct Reports (link 2)
Fault Reports (link 3)
All Reports (link 4)
I would like to know if it's possible that I could enforce the following scenarios on a user:
If a user clicks a link without specifying a date range, then an error message is displayed prompting the user to specify Start Date & End Date.
If a user specifies a Start Date that is outside the table's date range, then an error message is displayed prompting the user to enter a valid Start Date. For instance, if the first ever date on the database table is 17/JUL/97 then if a user specifies 16/JUL/97 as his/her Start Date then an error message will be displayed prompting the user to specify a start date from 17/JUL/97 onwards.
Is this possible? Please advice!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
Kamo

Hi Kamo,
In order for the dates to be used on the reports (which is what I assume you are trying to do?), the user must submit the page to get the dates into the session. Given that, you could have Validation on your page that checks the criteria you need when the page is submitted. You could also have your Region 2 conditional on the dates not being NULL - that way, the user can not click on a link until both dates have been entered and submitted.
