Choosing current date in GL RapidMart for Oracle

Hello,
While implementing SAP BOBJ GL RapidMart for Oracle EBS , we didn't find any specific column in table which contain or can be used for current date (sysdate). Even in the Time_dim table doesnu2019t contain any column for that. we have created a view containing sysdate and imported in the universe but that didn't solve the purpose as we couldn't use it as we don't know with which table we should join this and use it as a dimension object to use it with other measures as (group by).
Could anybody suggest any approach?

What is the report version and what format mask are you using for the date/time?

  • Inserting Current Date with time stamp in oracle database

    Hi Experts,
                     I want to insert the current Date and time stamp in a field in the Oracle Database Table.
    I am able to insert date but i am not able to insert the date with time stamp. Any Suggestions??
    Thanks

    Naveen,
    Do you want to get current date (from sysdate) with a specific format or transform a value containing a date/time value to insert it in ORACLE ?
    Usually, you insert current datetimestamp in a date field using this :
    TO_DATE(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss')
    you may have to tweak the format pattern ('dd/mm....') according to your needs
    if you want to transform a date, use something like this:
    TO_DATE(your_date,your_format)
    but make sure your format is compliant with your date, ie
    TO_DATE('31/12/2008','MM/DD/YYYY') could raise error (litteral does not match) cuz ORACLE can't recognize 31 as a month pattern

  • Dynamic Variant -Current date  in selection screen - for batch jobs

    Hi Experts,
    My report runs in batch job with a variant, daily.
    One of the filed in selction screen should hv CURRENT DATE, with out providing as input explicitly by user.
    So, How Can I get it done?
    Its some thing with Dynamic variants + Selection Variables +  date selection, but, I forgot the navigation etc.
    pl. let me know
    thanq

    thanq.
    and pls. let me further clarify that,
    programitically am populating the date as current date minus 1 in the field of my_date in the selection screen.
    now, they wanna to run the report in back ground, daily.
    now, I followed ur tip/link and saved with_date_variant, fine.
    so, pls. let me know that,
    1) if the report runs in back ground tomorrow with with_date_variant(which is i created by seeing ur link), Is the selection screen my_date(prog. populates as June 5th) will be override with current date(i.e. June 6th)?
    In broad, Is the selection criteria wuld be over writes with the Dynamic varints?

  • Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

    I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
    For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
    The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
    Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
    PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
    I also tried:
    PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
    Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
    Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

    If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

  • Embedding a "Current Date" field in a pdf document

    To assure people work to the latest authorized version of a procedure, we let them access a protected pdf version on our Intranet. They can print a copy for use, but the copy is valid ONLY for the date printed, which is shown in the footer of each page. The "current date" field is updated when the document is opened by way of a Java script that reads:
    var f = this.getField("Today");
    f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    (Obviously, "Today" is the field's name.)
    If a person were to open the same document three days later, that later date would be embedded.
    All this worked well when we were using Acrobat 5 and Reader 5. Now, to keep up with the times, we've upgraded to Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 on many PCs. However, the "current date" field still works for those still using Reader 5 but doesn't work for those using Reader 8.
    What I'm wondering is whether the scripting has changed for Acrobat 8. I can't find anything in the Acrobat support documents for Java scripting, but I may not know what I'm looking at.
    Thanks,
    Jerry Holt

    The problem has been solved!!!
    The form field, the accompanying script, and most documents' security were set up in Adobe 4.0. However, in Adobe Reader 7 or higher, "no changes" means "no changes," so the form field script was blocked.
    By setting Compatibility to "Acrobat 7.0 or greater," I could choose the "Change Allowed" option: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields.
    Then, all I needed to do was to confirm that the JavaScript "Today" was still applied, and the current date was immediately filled in.
    Thanks for the questions and suggestions.

  • Best Approach to Compare Current Data to New Data in a Record.

    Which is the best approach in comparing current data to new data for every single record before making updates?
    What I have is a table with 5,000 records that need to be updated every week with data from a data feed, but I dont want to update every single record week after week. I want to update only records with different data.
    I can think of these options:
    1) two cursors (one for current data and one for new)
    2) one cursor for new data and one varray for current data
    3) one cursor for new data and a select into for current data.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't recommend it over merge, but in theory you could use a checksum (OWA_OPT_LOCK.checksum()) on the rows and if they differ then copy the new row into the destination table. Or you might be able to use rowscn to see if things have changed.
    Like I said, I don't know that I 'd take either approach over merge, but they are options.

    Actually, rowscn between 2 tables may not be an option. I know you can turn a rowscn into a time value so if that rowscn is derived from anything but the column values for the row that would foil that approach.

  • Cannot get ODBC data source to talk to Oracle 10g for Windows

    Problem description
    I recently installed Oracle 10g on my laptop computer, which is running Windows 7. Everything went smoothly except for one crucial item: The ODBC data source I added keeps returning this error when I click the "Test Connection" button:

  • Where are the data-binding frameworks for Oracle Objects?

    Oracle offers a few different options for data-binding frameworks to Oracle relational data. Amongst them they include TopLink and the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF)in JDeveloper 10G. J2EE also offers the EJB standard framework. Both of the Oracle data-binding frameworks appear to work well with relational data but fail miserably when one tries to work with a fully fledged Oracle Object-Relational schema. I have spend much time with ADF but have not been able to create successful bindings to Objects with nested complex objects (such as a 2-level nested object) or objects containing nested tables. TopLink will not even touch Object tables.
    Have other people being more successful with this? Do we have to implement our own data binding framework? Does Oracle plan on improving these frameworks to fully support Oracle Objects?

    TopLink Runtime supports both fully fledged OX mappings and nested complex objects. These mappings can be setup in the code.
    TopLink ADF design time however currently does not have support for OX mappings.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to specify dataschema name for oracle data source?

    hi all,
    I've a following problem:
    we have specified 2 Oracle dataschemas into a one Oracle SID, choosing of dataschema depends on user login name. So, if I use SQL/Plus then I successful connect with proeprietary database schema, and when I specify this user in "data-sources.xml" for datasource definition, however connection estabished with a default dataschema.
    And so question: how can I choose proeprietary database schema defined in one Oracle SID? There is any settings for this purpose in data-sources.xml?
    thanx in advance,
    Val.

    sorry, it works! was my error.

  • Historic and Current data for Master data bearing objects

    Hi All,
    We are trying to implement type 2 dimensions for all the master data bearing characteristics, where we require historic and current data available for reporting. the master data can have a number of attributes and all of them can be time dependent. We are not getting any 'datefrom' or 'dateto' from the source system.
    For example:
    For Example: The table below shows data entering BI at different dates.
    Source Data day of entering BI
    MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2
    123506 Y REWAR day1
    123506 N REWAR day4
    123506 Y ADJUST day4
    123506 N ADJUST dayn
    The field 'day of entry into BI' is only for your understanding; we do not get any date fields from the source. SID is the field we are generating for uniqueness. It is a counter. EFF_DATE would be the current date for all the data. EXP_DATE would be 31.12.9999 until the attributes change. SID and MasterID together would be the key.
    On day 1 the following data enters BI,
    day 1
    SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 12/31/9999
    On day 4, 2 data records enter with same PID,
    SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    2 123506 N REWAR 2/13/2009 12/31/9999
    3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 12/31/9999
    the EXP_DATE of the record of day 1 needs to be changed to current date.
    Also there are two records entering, so latest record would have EXP_DATE as 31.12.9999. And the EXP_DATE of the first record on day 4 should change to the current date.
    so the following changes should happen,
    CHANGE
    SID MasterIDATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 2/13/2009
    CHANGE
    SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
    On day n, one data record enters with same PID,
    SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    4 123506 N ADJUST 2/22/2009 12/31/9999
    The change is ,
    CHANGE
    SID MasterID ATTR1 ATTR2 EFF_DATE EXP_DATE
    3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
    The data expected in P-table is as below, on Day n or after Day n, untill any other record enters for this MasterID,
    1 123506 Y REWAR 2/10/2009 2/13/2009
    2 123506 N REWAR 2/13/2009 2/13/2009
    3 123506 Y ADJUST 2/13/2009 2/22/2009
    4 123506 N ADJUST 2/22/2009 12/31/9999
    Has anyone worked on type 2 dimensions earlier? Or any ideas to implement this logic would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sudeepti

    Compound the Master ID with eff date and other attribute as superior objects
    so you will get P-table as
    ATTR1   ATTR2   MAT ID  
    1 2/10/2009 2/13/2009 123506 Y REWAR
    2 2/13/2009 2/13/2009 123506 N REWAR
    3 2/13/2009 2/22/2009 123506 Y ADJUST
    4 2/22/2009 12/31/9999  123506 N ADJUST
