Do you have StockDs configured in your server config.xml?
I think the query should look more like this:
SELECT stocks.SYMBOL, stocks.EXCHANGE
FROM STOCK as stocks, ExchangeStream [Now] as datastream WHERE stocks.SYMBOL = datastream.SYMBOL

How to get the "current date" in the BEx?

Hi all,
I need to get the "current date" in my Bex report in order to make a comparison. I know there is a "How to" which shows how to get the current date via a User Exit, but I didn't find it. Could you please help me?
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

Blank field getting converted into wrong date

Dear All,
I have one date field in SAP table in which there are some entries and some blank entries.
when Proxy is sending this data from ECC blank entries are converted into 00000000 and through XI in file
this
00000000 entry for date getting converted into wrong date like 30.11.0002 in file.
I have taken data type as string do I need to take data type as date.
My doubt is if there is no entry in table why it is convertng to 00000000 and after passing from XI why it is converting into
30.11.0002 .
Regards

Hi ,
My date format like this
source --yyyyMMDD
target-DD.MM.YYYY
so if
source is
00000000
should comes like this
target
00.00.0000
but it is converting into
30.11.0002
every where in file values for 00000000 is coming like 30.11.0002

Conditions In BEX Query Designer

Hi Users,
I have a scenario to be implemented in my queries.
Scenario 1 -
I have a Characteristic field F1.
I have to create a coloum C1 in report display result which populates the below condition:
If F1 = '12345' then C1 = YES
ELSE it should be blank.
Scenario 2:
I have two date fields D1 and D2 with their corresponding KPI fields DV1 and DV2.
DV1 is for D1 and DV2 is for D2.
First D1 is compared with D2 and whichever is latest date then its corresponding field should be populated and other should not.
Example if D1 is 01.04.2014 and D2 is 22.04.2014 and If DV1 is 100 and DV2 is 200
Then only DV2 should be populated and DV1 should be empty.
Can anyone please suggest?
Regards
Syed

Two things to note before we move to solutions.
You need to convert all the dates(D1 and D2)and characteristic (F1) fields into Keyfigure with the help of formula variable with replacement path which are to be used in if else condition for comparison.
You cannot populate string (YES) at Bex lsevel so instead of that you may use number if that suits your requirement.
Now once you have converted the same then write the condition as below:
Scenario 1 -
I have a Characteristic field F1.
I have to create a coloum C1 in report display result which populates the below condition:
If F1 = '12345' then C1 = YES
ELSE it should be blank.
(FV1==12345)*1+(FV1<>12345)*0
For Scenario 2:
(D1>D2)*DV1+(D1<D2)*DV2
For converting the char into kfs refer the below document:
Convert a Characteristic into a Key Figure (BEx)
Hope this helps.

Excise invoice not getting converted into INR from USD for an IMPORT PO

Hi All
I have posted one Import PO. Did MIRO for custom and CVD. MIRO doc was in USD which is getting converted into INR as per the exchange rate maintained in OB08.
Then I did MIGO with the ref of comm invoice of MIRO. Now MIGO doc is posted in INR as per exchange rate maintained in OB08 for custome duty and Freight and base value.
For Excise invoice , CVD is getting captured but in excise tab, base amount is showing in INR and currency also shows INR which is correct.
Total Basic duty (BED) , Cess and Hecess iamount s coming in USD but curency is showing INR. After posting the doc also it has not getting converted into INR and the same USD amounts got posted in Excise GLs and currency still showing INR.
For example:--
PO value shows
Base Price - 2040.20   USD
Custome   -     204.20    USD
CVD         -      179.54    USD
Cess on CVD      3.59    USD
H Cess on CVd 22.44 USD
Now in excise invoice in Excise item tab
Base value - 99960 INR (converted at teh rate of 49 , exch rate type M)
BED -   179.54 INR
CESS - 3.59 INR
HECESS 22.44 INR
Here only currency is changed to INR but amounts are still in USD. After posting the doc also same result is coming, hence Registers are getting updated with wrong values.
Can any one suggest what to do to correct this.

Customization for CVD maintained in Excise config -- company code setting- exchange rate type for CVD is M.
OB08 maintained for USD to INR for the current date.

HI Tej
All the Import cycle has created three documents.
1. MIRO doc for custom duties and CVD .--   MIRO posted in USD . I can see the doc in both currency - INr and USD via accounting doc - display currency. I do not have any issue.
2. MIGO doc - for custom duty and Freight -   MIGO posted in INR , I can see accounting doc in USD and INR both via accounting document- Display currency and even in the MIGO -- purchase order history tab.
3. Excise Invoice - for CVD - EX Invoice posted in diifferent way --
In this document please note amounts for CVD is as per USD rate , but currency showing is INR , which is a mismatch.
in Excise customization for company code setting - exchange rate type M is maintained. OB08 is also maintained for USD/INR
Condition type JCV1 is also marked with currency conversion and accruals.
Is there any patch or note I need to apply to getting this converted , or any process issue.

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

How to write a condition in BEX Query Designer

Hi
How can i write a condition in Query Designer
Scenario
An employee can purchase any no of policies in a day or month.each policy will have start date and expiry date.
My requirment
Count all the policies(valid) by employee on a ranges basis exception reporting
(0-10;10-20;20-30;30-40) and then able to drill down by policy start date and expiry date.
As per the requirment is to show policies which are not yet expired (active) i need to write a condition that will count only policies whose Expiry date is > Current calender day
As Policy Expiry Date is a char i am converting it to KF using fourmala variable so that i can write a condition on it using current cal day formula variable sap exit
But i char assigment of a condition i find 4 option
How can i achieve this
Thanks

Hi Aurun,
Thanks for the help,Really appreciated
As this is my first enhancement using ABAP & CMOD
What type of key (either Access or developer ) do i require to perform the following enhancement......so that i can raise request with basis team
I shall be great ful if u can asnwer below question
First, you need to create a variable for expiry date with processing type as customer exit, and then give the necessary info.
In details tab, unchk ready for input as we wont be taking the value from the prompt.
Now go to CMOD transaction.
Open the correcsponding project which has the exit code
(How can i identify the project which has exit code)
and go to ZXRSRU001 module inside taht.
Go to the module where u write the exit.
(How to locate the required module)
Then, under i step 1, write the code:
IF I_STEP = 1.
CASE V_NAME (What is 'V_NAME',Is it my variable technical name)
WHEN 'X' " X is the variable u created for the exit
l_s_range-low = SY-DATUM.
l_s_range-opt = 'I'.
l_s_range-sign = 'GT'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
END CASE.

Date condition not working correctly in Desktop

Hello,
I have two custom folders in Admin that are joined. One of the folders contains the following query:
SELECT ORGANIZATION_ID, ASSET_NUMBER, MIN(CURRENT_READING_DATE) FIRST_READ_DATE, MIN(CURRENT_READING) FIRST_READING
FROM EAM_METER_READINGS_V
WHERE PREV_DESC IS NULL
Group By ORGANIZATION_ID, ASSET_NUMBER
I want my workbook to report the earliest meter reading that exists, based on the date that is specified in the parameters in Desktop. When I create a parameter for the date, the workbook reports the earliest reading in the database; it ignores the date restriction entered in the parameter. This is the parameter:
First Read Date MIN BETWEEN :First Reading Date and SYSDATE
If I include the date condition in the SQL of the custom folder the workbook functions exactly as it should. The date condition is in the SQL as the following:
and current_reading_date between '01-JAN-2007' and SYSDATE
Since the workbook functions correctly when the condition is coded in the SQL but not when it is based on a parameter, I assume the problem is with the parameter. Any ideas on how I may correct this?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the response Michael. I tried using the MIN function as you suggested, but I still am not getting the expected result. I’m not sure that I was clear in my initial problem description. I will try to provide more detail with this post.
The reason I have two custom folders is that my original query has a nested Select statement (EAMV) and I couldn’t find a way to pass the parameter from EAMV to Discoverer. Following is the original query. I suppose the first logical questions would be, is there a way to pass the parameter to Discoverer? Would this alleviate the need for the second custom folder?

For example, if they enter 1-JAN-2007 as the parameter and there was a reading taken on 2-JAN-07 and 28-JAN-07, the report should show the 2-JAN-2007 reading (in addition to the most recent reading in a separate column). Currently, everything on the report displays correctly, except for the reading based on the parameter.

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Teradata database error when using a Universe-defined Date condition

I have encountered an odd problem when connecting Crystal to a Universe. There is a pre-defined Date condition built into the Universe that is defined as follows:
@Select(Date\Week End Date) > @Select(Conditions\User Response Select Date week -28) AND @Select(Date\Week End Date) <= @Select(Conditions\User Response Select Date)
The filter is designed to retrieve a rolling 4 weeks of data.
When I try and create and refresh a Crystal Report that includes this Date prompt, I get the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: 22003:(ODBC Teradata Driver)(Teradata Database) A character string failed conversion to a numeric value.
If I create the same query in a WebI report it works fine, but in Crystal the error is produced. I have also tried constructing the same prompt and filter within Crystal rather than use the pre-built prompt but that did not work either.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on this error? I can't seem to find many related postings on this specific error.
BO Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 running on Windows 2008 Server R2
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 running on Windows XP SP3
Universe is built on a Teradata 12 source
Thanks!

One item I found I had to do with Teradata was cast my date/time values to dates, otherwise I got weird errors like this. You say it's working in Web Intelligence, so this might not be the issue, but it is an easy thing to test.
In the universe, change your end date definition to
cast(table.end_date as date)
and see if that helps.

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.

PR to PO conversion error - Partial line items not getting converted

Hi All,
Automatic PR to PO conversion ( ME59N ) is not happening for few line items.
For the same Article,site, vendor combinations,its getting converted on few days and on few days its not.
No changes were made to the any.
1. Source List is created for the Article & Vendor combination. Validity is fine. Fixed vendor option is checked.
2. Info record is maintained.
3. Auto PO option is checked in Vendor Master
4. No release Strategy
Will the Purchase Group have any impact in the conversion?
Kindly share your views.
Thanks in adance.
Regards,
Bhaskar

It's going to be a data selection problem. If it was a problem with conversion you would see something recorded in the log (assuming you have the log parameter set to show all messages).
Make sure the Auto PO flags are set in the correct purchasing org and site. Does your requisition have a purcahsing org?
What selection critera do you have set in ME59N? You mention that that the problem only occurs on certain days so it could be related to the release date.
The only other thing I could suggest is authorisation checks. Are you approved for the correct activity types (the activity for ME59N is not create) , plants, purchasing groups etc.
Also keep in mind everything I have said may not be relevant to the IS-Retail solution you are using. I can't be certain if there are any differences in this area when you are running that solution. It might be worth asking the question in that forum http://scn.sap.com/community/retail

Date fields and compare and get the later date of the fields

I am trying to compare these date fields and compare and get the later date of the fields
Tables are
TABCASER
TABCASER1
EVCASERS
Field
Are
TABCASER1.CASER_no
The dates are to be compared and then get the records with the highest or latest date value.
TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE
EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES
EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE
EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE
TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE
I have this code but I am trying to figure out what it all means.
I have several questions.
1.
1.     greatest it is used here to compare right? How do I then output this ? do I store it to a var (coldfusion) ultimately , I wish to send it to a page of records
2.     is it necessary to use todate? And to_date? What does this do?
3.     decode, is this necessary too. What does this do? NULL?
4.
5.
6.     when I do get the query results how do I send it to coldsuion and out put to a display.
Someone sent me this code.
is there abetter way of doing this? To compare the dates and store in a var to display. thanks
Here is my code below:
Greatest(
     CASE
          WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-CE') > 0 THEN
     decode(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-ERNIE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-MONIE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-NADINE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE)
                         ELSE
     decode(TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
                    END
          ,decode(TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE))
          between TO_DATE('#dateformat(form.startDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")#','MM/DD/YYYY') and TO_DATE('#dateformat(form.endDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")#','MM/DD/YYYY')
is there abetter way of doing this? To compare the dates and store in a var to display. thanks

Hi
If you have date datatypes than:
select
greatest(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE, EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
from TABCASER, TABCASER1, EVCASERS
where ...-- join and other conditions
1. greatest is good enough
2. to_date creates date dataype from string with the format of format string ('mm/dd/yyyy')
3. decode(a, b, c, d) is a function: if a = b than return c else d. NULL means that there is no data in the cell of the table.
6. to format the date for display use to_char function with format modell as in the to_date function.
