Date Comparison

Hello All,
UCCX 9
Scenario: I would like the script to do a date comparison so that if Today's date is before xx/xx/xx or after xx/xx/xx I can direct it to different steps in the scripts.
I have 3 string variables
Current_Date - Changes depending on the day
Begin_Date    - 2/1/2014
End_Date      - 2/10/2014
Step 1
I have an IF statement
If Current_Date < Begin_Date
-True Goes to Time_of_Day_check
-False Goes to End_Date_check
Step 2
If the above outcome is False it checks the End_Date
IF Current_Date >End_Date
-True   Goes to Time_of_Day_check
-False Goes to Alternative Time_Of_Day_check
The issues I'm having is with Step 2
When the End_Date is less than 2/6/2014 it works fine.
For example if End_date is 2/3/2014 it goes to True, which is correct.
However,
When the date is 2/10/2014, it still goes to True.., which is incorrect
When I change the End_Date to 3/1/2014, then it starts going to False
Am I unable to compare dates like this? Is there a better way to compare dates?
Thank you,

I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, in order to give you an answer, however, I can tell you that Date objects, not Strings, are what you're going to want to work with when performing comparisons.
Date object values are also just a Long value for the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970 at 00:00:00.000 AM.
It's key that you understand that it's the number of millisecond that it's holding. Which explains why this is true today: D[now] > D[2/6/2014]. Today being 2/6/2014 of course. That because D[now] holds the current time the step is executed, whereas D[2/6/2014] is left to hold the time 00:00:00.000. And no matter what time it is when the script executes, there's only a 1/86400000th of the day's time that they will be equal, which will make the conditional false. Therefore, you would enter D[now] >= D[2/6/2014], which would be true for all 86400000 milliseconds of the day. I, like you, would have expected that original condition to be false, because today is not after 2/6/2014; today is 2/6/2014.
The easiest way, in my opinion, to compare two dates, without consideration for their time values, is to reset the time values of both objects to the same value.
E.g.,
Set today = new Date()Set today = new Date(today.getYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate())Set start_date = new Date(2014 - 1900, 2, 6)Set end_date = new Date(2014 - 1900, 2, 14)If (today >= start_date && today <= end_date)     True          Goto Alt ToD     False          Goto ToD

Idoc data comparison between different R/3 clients.

Hi ppl ,
Is there a way idoc comparison can be done between different clients without going
by Segment by Segment comparison ?
I have a requirement wherein i have thousands of idocs in QA system and i need to
compare those with the ones in PROD system. The segments in the idocs may vary
depending on the data that flows from the third party system which will post idocs in R/3.
So, the segment wise comparison of data is also ruled out .
Do we have any standard reports which will help in achieving this purpose ?
Please let me know how the idoc data comparison can be carried out .
Regards,
Nick.

Hi Nick,
There is no standared tools available for comparing the data of two idocs.
By using beyond compare s/w you can check the data, but the thing is you have to download the idoc data to file format.
By using Idoc_xml_transform function module you can download idoc data to xml format, after you can compare.
Check this

Time "and" Date Comparison

Hi,
I am trying to get the difference between two sets of time.
This also involves a Date comparison because sometimes the times span more than one day.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I have searched the forum archives but have not yet found time and date comparisons together.
startRun = "10/26/01 4:30 PM";
endRun = "10/27/01 7:45PM";
I want to process these two times and get the difference.
The result would be:
totalRunTime = "27 hours 15 minutes";
I am stumped. Is this type of process even possible? Any help would be grealty appreciated.
Best,

        String startRun = "10/26/01 4:30PM";

OBIEE Date Comparison report with multiple measures

Hello everyone...
I have a requirement where I need to create a date comparison report (Current Month vs. Prior Month vs Prior Month Year Ago vs YTD vs Prior YTD vs Rolling 3 months, etc) with multiple Measures (Quote count, Quote offered count, New Business count, etc). I am to generate this report in this fashion:
Quotes Current Month vs PM vs YoY Prior
Month Current Month Prior Year Current
YTD vs PM Prior
YTD Rolling 3 Months vs PM Prior Rolling 3 Months
Issued 120 120 123 1400 1020 1700 1580
Unique Risks
Offered 556 449 571 5881 6220 6101 5892
Unique Risk Close Ratio
Offered Close Ratio 21.6% 26.7% 21.5% 23.8% 16.4% 27.9% 26.8%
Bitmap
Avg Issued Premium 240 238 222 2801 2630 3104 2892
Avg Offered Premium
New Business
Count
Avg Full Term Premium
I understand that time series is an option, and have created the time series (which show up as measures).
My problem is:
when creating the report (even as a pivot table) , OBIEE is not allowing me to drag the measure to rows, nor is it allowing me to drag the time series to columns. Also, I need to do conditional formating on some of the columns showing an up arrow for increased vs. prior month and down arrow for decreased vs. prior month.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Please advise and thanks!!!

Jason,
You've been very helpful, but I guess I'm just not explaining myself that well. The Credit Memo's throw things off because they do not contain a "Paid Date" value. That field in the record is blank. Since it is blank the report query ignores them. Therefore when the report query returns all records that have a "Paid date" range of "x to y" they are never returned. This is a problem whenever a credit memo exists for an invoice because the "invoice total" never changes. So when a customer pays on their account for a particular invoice, they only pay what is due which is the "invoice total" minus any "credit" from the "Credit Memo". So when my A/R person receives payment they are showing the invoice paid in full because MAS automatically includes all invoices and credit memo's. My report does not because there is no data in the "Paid Date" field of the record for Credit Memos.
I've been doing alot research in trying to resolve this "exception" to my report. I think I may be on to something, but my knowledge of arrays is extremely limited. My resolution involves populating an array with the "invoice numbers" that are returned from the initial query from the supplied date range. Then using the "invoice numbers" from the array have it then populate my details section of the report with all of "invoice records" both the actual invoice record and any "credit memo" records. I can then group the records returned based upon the "invoice number". then within that grouping I can performing my calculations to show whether or not the invoice has been paid in full. What do you think? I've been able to populate an array with the invoice numbers based upon my date search range, but I have yet to figure out how to take that information and perform another lookup to pull in the rest of the data I need. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks. Bill

How to manipulate the date in idoc scripting?

how can we manipulate date in idoc scripting? How to retrieve the year, month, date from the date? How can we update the year of the particular date in idoc scripting.

There are a bunch of date / time functions that you can find in chapter 5 of the Idoc Script Reference (the bible for this sort of thing)
For the sort of things you need to do I would recommend you look at formatDateWithPattern()
for example to retrieve the year of 'now'
<$year = formatDateWithPattern(dateCurrent(),"yyyy")$>
month
<$month = formatDateWithPattern(dateCurrent(),"MMM")$>
the patterns for the same rules as Java date formats (unsurprisingly)
If you want to update the year then I think you need to build the date as a string and the use the parseDate or parseDateWithPattern functions to actually create something that Idoc will recognise as a date object.

I never miss class....my instructor gave us the assignment of making a heap sort and he told us to use code off the internet as a resource because the only sorting we have done so far is bubble.....this was a research project, for my instructor to see if we can use the internet as an effective resource to put together a program and learn about a differnet type of sorting.....everyone in the class got a different type of sort (merge, quick, insertion, etc...). i have put the program together and customized it to my needs based on my knowledge.....the last thing i am having trouble with is my counting of comparisons and data movements. Can you please help me finish up my program.

Question on How to Use LI and NP Data Comparison Report

Hi,
We are trying to figure out how to make the Transaction Code PC00_M42_LLPD (LI and NP Data Comparison Report) work. What file type (.xls, .txt, etc) should be used? Anyone who is familiar with the transaction, please help.

Somewhere in the Oracle 8.0 documentation it is stated that one
enviroment per each thread is required if I want to ensure
complete concurrency of different threads accessing databases.
But isn't this a waste of resources since only Handle Alloc &
Free functions use Enviroment handle, hence they should be
mutexed for access from concurrent threads.
But the most time-consuming functions are ServerAttach &
SessionBegin which shouldn't be mutexed since they have each
their own Server/Session handle.
So my question is if a single OCI Enviroment is enough for the
most demanding tasks or should I create one enviroment per
thread?
Most folks are happy with a single environment. The mutex on the
env handle is only taken when the OCI library is allocating some
memory for internal operations.

Hi,
you have to create paragraph formats for this, in paragraph format you can define tab sapces.
use that paragraph format in command box of ur window editor, where ever you want the space just use ',,' which will apply tab space (the sapce you have declared).
