Add current date to filename of a scheduled report (Info 7.5)

Can a file be scheduled in Info 7.5 to export with the current date to the file name (ex. job_postings_dd_mm_yy.xls)?

Hello,
Seagate Info has been out of support for years so no one here would be able to help you. I moved this to the Enterprise forum also.
I don't recall any option but if the UI doesn't give you the option to change the name then no it likely wasn't something you could do. You could although create a batch file that would rename it using a Process extension, I think 7.5 had that ability, it's been so long now.
Check the Administrators Guide on functionality, is about all I can suggest.
Thank you
Don

Add Current Date - What timezone is used to display value

When adding the Add Current Date Transformation to get the 'processing date', what determines the date/time that is presented? Where does it pickup the timezone and can this be tailored?
Thanks.

Might just be a display issue. Right-click on the date/time in the Results Browser to see the time zone. You can also change your view of the date/time if you want to. A blue dot will appear in the cell to indicate that you are displaying the value in a different time zone.
If you want to process the data in a certain way ('stamp it into a given timezone' different from the server timezone) you could use the data type converters to convert to string and back to date/time with the options set to the timezone you want.
I believe there is a property that can override the Director Time Zone on the server but it is not normally used.

Add current date to PDF documents

This doesn't seem like it should be hard, but I have been unable to find information on how to do it.
I have about 100 PDF files. Somewhere on them, I need to display "Date Printed: dd mmm yyyy", and have the current date displayed.
I don't care whether this is placed at the top of the page, the bottom, or opaque in the background.
I would like to be able to accomplish it using the batch command, but will perform manually if necessary.
I have Acrobat 7 Professional.
Can someone please help me out?

Hi Everyone - Thanks to Dimitri, I was able to do exactly what I wanted to do by using the following code: // Check for existing field and make sure it's on the first page var strModName = "DocMessage"; var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage"); // Create Field if it doesn't exist if(ofield == null) { // Field is the width of the page, on the bottom of the page // and 40 points high (72pts/inch) for(var i=0;i<this.numPages;i++) { var rectField = this.getPageBox("Crop",i); rectField[1] = rectField[3] + 14; // Set Top ofield = this.addField({cName: strModName,cFieldType: "text", nPageNum:i ,oCoords: rectField}); ofield.alignment = "center"; //This is the text alignment of the field ofield.multiline = true; ofield.textSize = 8; ofield.textFont = "Arial"; ofield.display = display.noView; //This is hidden on the page but printable to make viewable change to display.visible or noView ofield.readonly = true; } } // Add Field to Document Script var strJS = 'var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage");'; strJS += 'ofield.value = "Intellectual Property of My Company - CONFIDENTIAL. ";'; strJS += 'ofield.value += " Document printed " + util.printd("ddmmmyyyy",new Date()) + ".";'; this.addScript("AddMessage",strJS); However - Now I would like to change the message to say that the document expires on a future date. For example, 14 days from today. I found an example of how to do this on page 266 of the Adobe JS Scripting Guide and have followed it to the letter, but it is not working. Here is the modified code: // Check for existing field and make sure it's on the first page var strModName = "DocMessage"; var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage"); // Create Field if it doesn't exist if(ofield == null) { // Field is the width of the page, on the bottom of the page // and 40 points high (72pts/inch) for(var i=0;i<this.numPages;i++) { var rectField = this.getPageBox("Crop",i); rectField[1] = rectField[3] + 14; // Set Top ofield = this.addField({cName: strModName,cFieldType: "text", nPageNum:i ,oCoords: rectField}); ofield.alignment = "center"; //This is the text alignment of the field ofield.multiline = true; ofield.textSize = 8; ofield.textFont = "Arial"; ofield.display = display.noView; //This is hidden on the page but printable to make viewable change to display.visible or noView ofield.readonly = true; } } /* Create a date object containing the current date. */ var d1 = new Date(); /* num contains the numeric representation of the current date. */ var num = d1.valueOf(); /* Add fourteen days to todays date, in milliseconds. */ /* 1000 ms/sec, 60 sec/min, 60 min/hour, 24 hours/day, 14 days */ num += 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 14; /* Create our new date, 14 days ahead of the current date. */ var d2 = new Date(num); // Add Field to Document Script var strJS = 'var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage");'; strJS += 'ofield.value = "Intellectual Property of My Company - CONFIDENTIAL. ";'; strJS += 'ofield.value += " Document expires on " + util.printd("ddmmmyyyy", d2) + ".";'; this.addScript("AddMessage",strJS); The resulting output is simply: "Intellectual Property of My Company - CONFIDENTIAL." The part of the message regarding the expiration date doesn't even show up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Add current Date/Time to a database note?

If we set the database note when we are loading the cube, what would be the syntax to set the current date/time? For example... ALTER DATABASE <NAME> SET NOTE <COMMENT> What would go in <COMMENT> in order to set current date/time? Cheers!

Hi Philip,
There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.
Hope this helps...

Down loaded new numbers app. Now no table headings. Solution? Also. How do I include current date as part of new table heading, I had this included in old numbers spreadsheet title?

Hi,
Do you mean no table name?
Or table header row?
You can get the current date in a table heading with NOW, which in the formula editor now looks like this:
Which you can format this way:

How to display "No data for yesterday" in a scheduled report on Webi

Hi All,
In Webi, I am working on scheduling reports and was asked by a user if the scheduled report on Webi can display "No data for yesterday/no orders for yesterday" when the report returns no data due to No Orders submitted or a business holiday. This sounded a good idea to me as this report only looks for previous days orders/sales and there are many instances when the report will return blank page due to no activity the day before.
Can anyone please guide me on the possibility of achieving something like this on Webi using Bex query.
Any help will be appreciated .
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi,
You can format the blocks in the report as "Hide When Empty" or "Hide When [some formula]" and have a blank cell added behind these blocks with a text "No Data for Yesterday"
Need to set the relative position and ordering for this accordingly.

Automatically add current date to contact sheet?

Is there some code/script that can be added to the footer text area that will cause a date to be automatically added to the footer like there is in Microsoft products?
For instance in Word you can put &date, &time to have the date and time added automatically in the footer.
I use the contact sheet feature to print out screen shots of items that may change on a regular basis and having a date will let me know which is the most recent. I can type it in maually, but thought there might be a way to have the application do this instead.
Thanks for any help!

Current date as default value in scaffolding

I added a datefield to scaffolding and I'd like to populate it with a default value set to current date. How can I do that?

We can not put current date as default value in Crystal Reports 2008.

Retrieved the instance(s) of scheduled reports

Hello
I am writing a Java command-line program in order to schedule reports (in "right now" mode) in BO XI R2 running on a Windows Server 2003 server.
This program will be launched from an third part scheduler which needs to know the final status of the scheduled report.
My idea is to code an active loop (with sleep) that checks uppon instance status until it is COMPLETED or FAILED.
First, is there another, more elegant way to do it? (maybe using some kind of listener mecanism or something)
Otherwise, how can I retrieve a reference of the instance scheduled using the Schedulable.schedule() method?
I was thinking about using the Schedulable.getLatestInstance() method but there is no garantee that this is REALLY the one that this program has just scheduled, is there?
Thanks
Guillaume

Very usefull answer, thanks.
I experienced a difference between scheduling a report from the InfoView and from the SDK:
When a report is scheduled from InfoView, it goes to the 'RUNNING' status right away but when scheduled from the Java SDK, it stays in the 'PENDING' status for a minute or so before going to the 'RUNNING' status.
Any idea why?
Here is a snippet of code I am using (just in case):
 ISchedulable reportSchedulable = (ISchedulable) infoObject;
 IInfoObject reportObj = infoObject;
 ISchedulingInfo reportScheduleInfo = reportSchedulable.getSchedulingInfo();
 reportScheduleInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
 reportScheduleInfo.setRightNow(true);
 infoObjects = infoStore.query("select top 1 * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Managed'");
 IManaged managed = (IManaged) infoObjects.get(0);
 IManagedOptions managedOptions = (IManagedOptions) managed.getScheduleOptions();
 managedOptions.setDestinationOption(IManagedOptions.CeDestinationOption.ceInbox);
 managedOptions.setSendOption(IManagedOptions.CeManagedSendOption.ceCopy);
 Set destinations = managedOptions.getDestinations();
 for(int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
 infoObjects = infoStore.query("select top 1 * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS where SI_KIND = '"+ recipients[0] +"' and SI_NAME = '"+ recipients[1] +"'");
 IInfoObject userOrGroup = (IInfoObject) infoObjects.get(0);
 destinations.add(new Integer(userOrGroup.getID()));
 IDestination managedDestination = reportScheduleInfo.getDestinations().add(managed.getProgID());
 managedDestination.setFromPlugin(managed);
 infoStore.schedule(reports);
 Object newJobId = reportObj.properties().getProperty("SI_NEW_JOB_ID").getValue();
 int newJobStatus;
 String query = "select top 1 * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_ID = '"+ newJobId +"'";
 boolean loop = true;
 while(loop) {
 infoObjects = infoStore.query(query);
 newJobStatus = ((IInfoObject) infoObjects.get(0)).getSchedulingInfo().getStatus();
 loop = newJobStatus != ScheduleStatus.COMPLETE && newJobStatus != ScheduleStatus.FAILURE;
 String statusStr;
 switch(newJobStatus) {
 case ScheduleStatus.COMPLETE:
 statusStr = "COMPLETE";
 break;
 case ScheduleStatus.FAILURE:
 statusStr = "FAILURE";
 break;
 case ScheduleStatus.PAUSED:
 statusStr = "PAUSED";
 break;
 case ScheduleStatus.PENDING:
 statusStr = "PENDING";
 break;
 case ScheduleStatus.RUNNING:
 statusStr = "RUNNING";
 break;
 default:
 statusStr = "UNKOWN";
 ToolBox.log("La plannification est au statut '"+ statusStr +"'.");

 Thread.sleep(1000);

Automatically add a current date at the end of the comments

Hi,
I have a form on a table with 5 fields... on one the field I am asking my users to enter comments...
I am looking for a functionality to automatically add a current date at the end of the comments, only when they are updated or newly filled in...
Please advice how can I do it... I am anticipating some sort of a trigger on column (when the data is modified)...
Thanks

automatically add a current date at the end of the comments, only when they are updated or newly filled inDo you want to add the date to the page item itself and hence show it to the end user as and when its changed, thn
Assuming comments item is named '*P1_COMMENTS* , add the following to the "execute on load"
$('P1_COMMENTS').change( function(){
var d = new Date();
$s('P1_COMMENTS', $v('P1_COMMENTS')+ d.toUTCString() );
});If its to be done only when updating ie in the PLSQL block
UPDATE <table name>
SET <comments _column> = ( SELECT DECODE( NVL(<comments _column>,'')
 ,NVL(:P1_COMMENTS,'')
 ,<comments _column>
 ,:P1_COMMENTS||TOCHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYY')
 FROM DUAL
WHERE <condition>
