Data format inconsistency problem on Discoverer 4i plus and Desktop 4.1

I encountered 'data format inconsistency' problem when using
Discoverer 4i plus web version vs Desktop version 4.1 to run the
same report :-
The result returned by Desktop version is as following:-
Employee Count Percent Employee Count
Mgt 202 18%
Occ 891 81%
Other 1 0%
Percent 1094 100%
The result returned by 4i web version is like the following:-
Employee Count Percent Employee Count
Mgt 202 18%
Occ 891 81%
Other 1 0%
Percent 109400% 100%
Pls note that the Employee count column is 1094 in Desktop
version whereas in web version it's 109400%
After I export the data to Ms Excel, I obtained below result :-
Employee Count Percent Employee Count
Mgt 202 0.184644
Occ 891 0.814442
Other 1 0.000914
Percent 1094 1
I would like to know if this is Oracle Discoverer bug or it's a
known issues ?
Pls advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Discoverer Technical Team,
Could u pls response to that issue ?
Thanks and regards.

Date Format Conversion Problem

Hi I am having trouble converting excel files to PDF.
I am in Australia and so we use the date format dd/mm/yyyy.
However when I convert to PDF it changes the date to the American format mm/dd/yyy.
For example if the date in Excel is 07/08/2013 (7th of August 2013) after conversion to PDF it displays as the 08/07/2013 (8th of July 2013).
Can someone please tell me how to get Adobe CreatePDF to convert to the correct date format?

From the API documentation for SimpleDateFormat:
"Text can be quoted using single quotes (') to avoid interpretation."
So your format should be:"yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.SSz"(Note that I added the "z" at the end to handle the timezone part of your input.)From the description of the OPs problem - that of obtaining the "date" information from an XML file - it seems easier to remove the unwanted characters than to add single quotes where needed.

Converting time stamp in SECONDS to a calendar date format.. problems

Hello. I'm trying to convert a long interger that represents the number of SECONDS passed since the 1970 date
the number was originally generated by php's mktime() function
one of the numbers I have for example is this : 1126933200
I haven't done the math but this is a date probably around september of 2005.. it's irrelevant anyhow.
I want to convert this to a date format I can use in java. I've tried to create a new date like so :
Date date = new Date(1126933200);
I've also tried it with the calendar method like so :
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(1126933200);
it was only then that I realized that both these methods require the number of MILLI seconds. So I tried doing a simple multiplication by 1000 on my original number and then I started getting a "integer number too large" error when trying to compile.
so i'm kind of at a loss here.. i figure I could make a function myself that would divide my number in days of 86400 seconds.. and then i'd have to keep in mind the bisectal (sp) and the months with more and less days etc.. but i'm sure there must be an easier way.
and i don't get why a method who's meant to receive a very long number is giving me an error when i try to give one to it.
your help is appreciated as always. thanks

Note you also need to define what timezone that seconds number represents.
With Gregorian it is going to use the local timezone (the code here will anyways). The code using Date is using the UTC timezone.

Data slice inconsistency problem with hierarchy nodes

Hi Experts,
We want to lock planning tables from function. We create the appropriate data slices but there are problems with (material group) hierarchy nodes.
If I give the node as input variable to the function it causes inconsistency in the data slice. If I choose and add this node to the lock in modeler, the problem is the same.
We are using the following variables to create a data slice:
0VERSION
0VTYTYPE
0COMP_CODE
ZGRMAT (developed material group)
Z_YEARCR (developed yera created)
The problem also exist if I set an another type of node e.g. destination country (0RECIPCNTRY) instead of material group.
For me, the problem seems to be generic.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance
Peter

There is a note related to this proble:
Note 1070608 - Lowflag field is not valid
The implementation of this note resolves the problem.

Date Format JSF problem

what I am asking is ridiculous for most. anyways this is my code
String pattern = "MM/dd/yyyy";
String value ="11/12/1976"
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
     Date birthDate;
     Calendar todayDate;
     Date now = new Date();
     try {
          birthDate = sdf.parse(value);
          System.out.println("birthDate'''''''''' "+birthDate);
for same reason "System.out.println("birthDate'''''''''' "+birthDate);"
prints "Fri Nov 12 00:00:00 CST 1976"
what do I have to do to make it print the same as 11/12/1976
Thank you.

for same reason "System.out.println("birthDate'''''''''' "+birthDate);"
prints "Fri Nov 12 00:00:00 CST 1976"That's the default toString() representation of the Date object.
what do I have to do to make it print the same as 11/12/1976Use SimpleDateFormat#format() to format a Date object into a human readable String representation.
This has completely nothing to do with JSF by the way. In future please use 'New to Java' or maybe 'Java Programming' forums for those kind of basic API related questions.

Date format inconsistent in log files

Hi All,
I have a cluster spread accross 4 machines(4 different physical boxes).
In three of the machines, the log format is ,
<17/1/2010>
while in the fourth on it is like,
<Jan 17 >
We require the log format in the form <17/1/2010>
Any help or suggestion???
Thanks.

Usually, this is due to a localization difference in the JVMs. When WLS boots, the .log file should show you some detailed information about the locale it is using, make sure that is consistent across the machines.

Urgent !!! Date Format Validation Problem

hi,
I'm using the following code to validate a date,
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     String dateStr = "03/30/20xx";
     try{
          sdf.setLenient(false); // For Strict Validation.
          System.out.println(sdf.parse(dateStr));
          System.out.println("Valid Date " + dateStr);
     }catch(Exception ex){
          System.out.println("Invalid Date " + dateStr);
It works fine for input values like 03/30/2005, 03/30/xxxx, 03/3x/2005
but fails for 03/30/20xx.
where c is any non-numeric character.
Please tell me a solution for this. Is there any other way to do this.

Oh! Now I understand!
try this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String dateStr = "03/30/20xx";
try {
     sdf.setLenient(false); // For Strict Validation.
     ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
     System.out.println(sdf.parse(dateStr, pos));
     System.out.println("Valid Date " + dateStr + " up to position " + pos.getIndex());
} catch (Exception ex) {
     System.out.println("Invalid Date " + dateStr);
}

Date format does not change with the Regional and Language Options in 2008

I have a one-column report that was created using the SQL "select current_date" in postgres. (Thinks select getdate() ).
In Crystal Reports XI when I change the "Standards and Formats" of Regional Options to:
English (United States) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
English (Canada) the date is in the format dd/mm/yy
Japan the date is in the format yyyy/mm/dd
In Crystal Reports 2008 when I change the "Standards and Formats" of Regional Options to:
English (United States) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
English (Canada) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
Japan the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
It doesn't change. Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance,
J

hey Jason,
i am going through some of the old forum posts and saw that no one replied to your language options post.
for cr 2008, there are language packs for the applicable languages. there are advantages for this as you can save installation space with the option of installing language packs for each language that you want the designer application to be in.
you have seen the disadvantage as it doesn't work the same as before.
you do not need the language packs for testing though. in the crystal reports View menu, switch up to the Product Viewing Locale to test objects which are using "system" settings such as dates.
if you do wish to install any language packs so that you can change up the actual language in the designer, go to your install media. in the install files "\package\langs\" directory, you will see a folder for each language that you need. install the desired language(s).
once you have installed a language pack and then restart the cr designer, you will now have the additional language in the View > Product Locale.
so in summary...Product Locale will change the language of the whole designer...language packs are needed for this.
Preferred System Locale can be used to test languages without having to change your windows system settings.
i hope that this helps,
jamie

OC4J 9.0.3 (date 07/31) problem with the MDB-demo and Oracle9i-databases (v9.*)

Trying to get the supplied mdb-demo to work in the J2EE 1.3 certified version of OC4J 9.0.3 (from 07/31).
It works fine with the OJMS-provider in a Oracle 8i v8.1.7 database but not in a Oracle9i database.
I have now tried three possible versions of Oracle9i available from OTN and Metalink:
- v9.0.1.1
- v9.0.1.3.1
- v9.2.0.1
I have noted from the "known-issue-page" that the supported version is v9.0.1.3 with patch #2416054 applied. Unfortunately is that patch only available for Solaris as of today...
I all cases I get one and the same error message from the CartEJB - bean in OC4J:
CartEJB::send2Queue: begin; item=QueueqSNDQUE|Queue
CartEJB::send2Queue; Exception occurred: oracle.jms.AQjmsException: ORA-06550: l
ine 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'AQ$_JMS_ENQUEUE_BYTES_MESSAGE'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
CartEJB::send2Queue: end
Is there some post-installation-step that I missed (e.g. copying som jar-fil from Oracle9i to OC4J...) or is there anything else I can do to get the supplied MDB demo working with Oracle9i?
Thanks in advance,
Magnus Larsson.

Ok...
Thanks for your help!
So I will stick with Oracle8i v8.1.7 until the patch is available on Windows...
Maybe I'll make a try with Linux also (thanks for noting me!), but probably will the Windows patch be available before I succeed with Oracle9i on Linux...
I will post a reply once I get the patch working on either Linux or Windows!
Regards,
Magnus.

Dates Format in Promts using Session Variables

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in controlling date format in prompts using session variable which I am using to set default value.
By default date format is timestamp E.g '2010-12-19 12:00:00 AM'.
As per requriement(s) I customized the date format in Reports as 19-Dec-2010 and I saved it as "System Wide Default for <Date Column Name> "
So, I got desired format in Reports and Date Prompts.
Now, I need to set a default value in Date Prompt. So, in RPD I created a Session Variable which returned me date in
DD-MON-YYYY format. Using follwing SQL :
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Getdate (), 106), ' ', '-') AS [DD-Mon-YYYY]
But in reports takes this value as string and not Datetime. So i got an error message.
A datetime value was expected (received "19-Dec-2010").
If i do not use above SQL to CONVERT date then default date in prompt get displayed as timestamp format and give me desired results but Formatting looks very odd in prompt
Is this a way so I can persist the [DD-Mon-YYYY] Formatting for default value which comes using variable and still run the report.
Above problem also exist vice versa that is if i SET that session variable and pass the datetime value to server. But there i guess I can use ToDate or some Casting in RPD column expression to handle that. Tell me if i am right ?
Thanks
Saurabh

That almost works. I had to adjust the syntax to the following...and then there are other issues doing this.
select cust_no, name,'@{session.currentUser}' from customersMy write-back SQL is this:
UPDATE customers SET NAME='@{c1}',LAST_EDITED_BY='@{c2}' WHERE CUST_NO=@{c0}But I don't want to display the cust_no column to the user. So I hide it in the UI. But if I do that I get the below error during write-back. Apparently sometimes when you hide a column on a direct query (numeric maybe?) the value doesn't transfer over to the write-back. If that's the case, this won't work for me. Hmm...

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?
Oracle RDBMS is a data repository & can't automagically change data content for you.

In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.
