Date Dimension changes format when in dashboard prompt

Hi
I have created a report in OBIEE 10g wherein a dimension is DATE. It displays as MM-DD-YYYY. I also created a dashboard prompt using this dimension.
However, when I select a value from the prompt in the dashboard, it says that:
"A date value was expected (received "2007-01-05 00:00:00")"
I hope you can help me with this problem.

Hi,
In the physical layer, go to the properties of the field(Your Date dimension column) and change it's type from Timestamp into Date. Hope this will solve your issue.
Thanks,
Balaa...

[11g] Date format when printing dashboard prompt

Hello,
i have a dashboard prompt with a between condition on a date format. When i display it on the dashboard, the format is perfect dd.mm.yyyy. But when i want to print the dashboard, the format is shown as yyyy-mm-dd. On the forum i found a hint about the localedefinitions.xml (Printer-friendly date format But there, the definition is ok
<property name="dateShortFormat">dd.MM.yyyy</property> // default short date format for locale
So, how can i change the format to dd.mm.yyyy when printing the dashboard. Any advice?
Thanks
Martin

Davison,
Its not possible using user settings. All you would need to do is copy the SAP SCRIPTForm program(You can keep the Print program as such) and set date mask as required in SAP script text editor using command
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
Now the date variable value written out on the screen would be
&DATE& -> JAN 01, 2010
You could revert to standard settings using command
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

How do you transfer files from mac to word pc for school? Paper keeps changing format when professor opens it on PC

I have Word 2011 on Mac 10.6.8. I write my papers and save them as .docx I submit them to my school online but every time My professor opens them he says the margins are set wrong. He said to save them as a Word-Pc format. How do I do this? Do I save it as RTF or as PDF? He has to be able to make comments on the paper after along the right side. I can not ask him to download anything t make it easier for me. I should be the one doing it correctly. I just do not know how. Can you please tell me how I should be saving my papers so that they do not change format when he opens them on his PC?
And I do recheck and open and repen my paper to check and recheck my margins before I submit it and all is fine on my end.
Thanks for your help.

nnigel, Welcome to the discussion area!
I've been reading thru the discussions and yet to find a clear answer on how to transfer files from my external HD to time capsule.
If it is directly connected to your Mac via USB or FireWire, Time Machine will include it in the backup.
...but is it difficult to point the library to the music file on the Time Capsule?

Need help with formating in a dashboard prompt

Hi
This should be an easy one. I'm creating some dashboard prompts and been looking on the Sample OBIEE and some prompts there. Well, what I would like to do is a prompt so simple as:
Prompt Label:
- alt1
- alt2
- alt3
- and so on ...
Have you seen what I've done? I want the Label of the prompt to be bold but the data inside, the alternatives should be normal.
What I do is that go to the Dashboard prompt, create it and so on and on the lower part of the Dashboard prompt edit pane "Display" I click on the pencil ... "Edit" ... go to "Format" and in there I choose "Style: Bold" ... the thing is that both Label and Alternatives turn Bold for me ...
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
If you are using 11g then keep the prompt in a section and you can add section title and you can format it accordingly. But keep the name in the label as a BLANK.
And if you are using 10g then by default the name in the label for the prompts becomes BOLD but the values would be normal.

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

Ability to change format when transferring to pla

Has the ability to change the format of files as they are transferred to the player been requested?
I transfer a large number of audio books to my player. I'd like to keep the original ripped files on my PC in a high quality format, but convert them to a much smaller format when transferring.

Not specifically, but it could happen.
Is there a good place for making such suggestions? I have a few suggestions, mostly about keyboard navigation.
There's no specific place, but I have a public wishlist page here. Other than that, email your suggestion to support, but unless there's a huge number of people wanting it it's unlikely it will be changed specifically for that reason.

Change Image based on dashboard prompt

Hello
Im using OBIEE 11G 11.1.1.5
I need to show on a dashboard, the logo (Image) of the company selected on a dashboard prompt. I have 5 companies and each has its own logo. Only one company can be selected.
Is there a way to acomplish that ?
Thanks

Hi Andres,
We can make use of the 'Conditional display of sections in dashboard based on analysis results'. One option certainly is to write different analysis (narrative view or static text) with your company logs and embedding them in different sections of their corresponding reports in dashboards. These sections need to be conditionally displayed based on the dashboard prompt chosen. You can create analysis, each to read the presentation variable (associated with the prompt) and display a record only if a particular company is chosen. (Ex: Create an analysis with one column as @{variables.CompanyPrompt}. Create a filter on it like 'is equal to 'Oracle'. So this analysis, would display a record only if the presentation variable has the value 'Oracle').
I would keep you posted if I hit at any other much efficient way.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

I have updated my webpage - its updated on my remote server "using dreamweaver" and the date has changed, but when i go online to check nothing has changed.

all is connected, dates changed in the remote server, i have cleared my history so that its not just going to its memory but actually looking for the page.
does anyone have any ideas?

I just tried to run your home page through the W3C validator and got this error:
Sorry! This document cannot be checked.
I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve <http://www.dsfiresecurity.com.au/>: 500 Can't connect to www.dsfiresecurity.com.au:80 (timeout)
If you made recent changes to your domain name (DNS) configuration, you may also want to check that your domain records are correct, or ask your hosting company to do so.

Bug? HTMLDB changing formats when no_translate setting!

This question relates to version 1.6.1.00.02
I have my database,apache and DAD set to NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MM/DD/YYYY'
for the DAD, It is done this way...
dad calls this procedure for each connect (via "PlsqlBeforeProcedure" in dads.conf):
PROCEDURE set_dad_nls IS
BEGIN
DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS('NLS_DATE_FORMAT','"MM/DD/YYYY"');
END;
It works and is verified if I call a procedure outside of htmldb via the URL method that just does
begin
htp.p(sysdate);
end;
it prints it in the MM/DD/YYYY format
however inside HTMLDB, the same print: htp.p(sysdate); in a pl/sql area prints in the DD-MON-YY format.
If I change my application attribute called:
"Application Language Derived From"
from "NO_NLS APPLICATION NOT TRANSLATED" to "USE_APPLICATION_PRIMARY_LAUNGAGUE"
Then I get the date inside HTMLDB returned in the MM/DD/YYYY format
However, the first setting is telling it to "not translate" yet evidently HTLMDB is translating.
What gives? Is this a bug or a misunderstanding.
I read this and still could not understand:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_handle_dates.html
In addition to the bug question (my primary question), my goal is for everything to default to MM/DD/YYYY. I have many apps, can I set MM/DD/YYYY in one place for all of HTMLDB apps (including PL/SQL areas)...or is some other method I am not following an option.

Meyer,
This is not a bug.
By default, modplsql pools database connections. Every page view in HTML DB uses one of these connections, does its stuff, and then the connection is returned to the pool.
HTML DB sets the NLS settings (language and territory) for every page view and submission. If it did not, then your page view would "inherit" the NLS settings from some other user's previous page view.
If your Application Language Derived From is set to "No NLS (Application not translated)", that means that HTML DB will do no processing to derive your application langauge and territory settings. But this doesn't remove the fact that you could still inherit some other user's NLS settings, so we must reset it to something. That "something" is the NLS language and territory of the database.
The language setting of HTML DB determines how the NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY will be set for a particular page view. But for all page views in HTML DB, NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY must be explicitly set to something.
For evidence of the previous bug in HTML DB where we did not properly reset these NLS settings, check out the first few comments at:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:7913917986287
So you have at least four choices:
1) Change the database settings. Via SQL*Plus, you can issue "show parameters nls" to see everything you can set.
or
2) In HTML DB, set your application primary language to some language which has territory settings corresponding to NLS_DATE_FORMAT of MM/DD/YYYY.
or
3) Add an application level before header process which performs your DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS procedure
or
4) Add an application level substitution string, let's say called DATE_FORMAT with a value of MM/DD/YYYY, then any place you display dates (in reports, as items), set the format mask to &DATE_FORMAT. (including the trailing period).
Hope this helps.

Why are my files changing format when I log out?

help

Hi merenoff,
Where are you seeing this odd behavior? Are you using ExportPDF to convert PDF to Word format? When you convert a file, your original is maintained (wherever it was when you converted it). But the converted file is uploaded to your online account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. So, if you're converting files you should have both the original on your computer, and the converted file in your online account.
Please let us know if that isn't the case.
Best,
Sara

How to change format when wrong export

I think i have first given the wrong edit format-setting by importing clips in th timeline. It looked nomal so i did't notice that.
I imported a DV 16:9 movie.
After export the summery gave 768 x 576. That looks normal to me. (DV)
but in de inspector: 982 x 540 NTSC!
I don't understand that; NTSC and not PAL (in wich i always work, Europe) and the other figures.
The mean question now is:
how and were to change settings in fcpX that the export to .mov is 16:9 and PAL version?Or: w(I can't find nothing to do so.)
What other can i do (exept editting it all over again...)
Thanks!
bruce

Thanks! I chose file/ project properties and than something happend but i could nothing change to it. But after a while: in the inspector indeed: PAL and 720 x 576 DV.
Then by share/export: 768 x 576.
I hope it will be o.k. now, it is making a .mov file now.
But how can this change has happened because i did 'nt. And why do you not see that in time?
Any idea?
Thanks!

Completed QT movie changes format when imported into iDVD and DVD Studio

I made a few movies and I simply want them on a DVD. I convert them into QT movies and everything looks great. I filmed both movie using my Canon Vixia M30 in 60i and maximum quality. When I move the files into iDVD, it squishes the actual movie into 4:3 even though the original QT movie is 16:9 and iDVD is set up for 16:9 and the quality is horrible. I check the "Project Info" and my 3.1GB file has shrunk down to a 376MB file. I tried to put the file into DVD Studio and the same thing happened.This has happened with the last two movies I made. I'm really getting frustrated. What am I doing wrong? Help!!

A DVD uses the highly compressed MPEG2 codec. So it is impossible to have it look exactly the same.
Nothing you can do about that, the DVD video specification is strictly set out.
First of all, export from FCP. Self contained with Current Settings (same as the Timeline).
Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your video fits into -for example: *DVD 90 mins Best Quality 16:9*. Import the resulting MPEG2 and AC3 files into DVD Studio Pro. You must also tell DVD SP that your film is 16:9.

Unnecessary Report refresh on the dashboard when changing the dashboard prompts

Hello All
I have two reports on a dashboard with two dashboard prompts for example Report 1) Year, State, Count; Filter: Year is prompted 2) Year, State, Count; FIlter: State is prompted. On the dashboard we have two reports Report1) and Report 2) with Year and State dashboard prompts.
The issue is when you change year prompt both the reports gets refreshed even though nothing changes on report 2 but it still dissapears and appears as it is refreshing and the same happens with report 1 when i change the state prompt it refreshes that report.
Please letme know how i can limit the dashboard prompt to refresh only the report where it is prompted.
Thanks
Ravi

are you talking about the database table caching? if so we are using OLAP cubes and I am not sure if caching is disabled. Is my issue related to caching? also another updated if I have just one dashboard prompt for example just year only report 1 refreshes and the report 2 doesn't disappear. But when I add state dashboard prompt, which ever prompt I change state or year both reports refreshes. The problem is when I add more than one prompt on the dashboard all the reports refreshes when the dashboard prompt selection changes. Any ideas.
Thanks

How to convert date in the dashboard prompt

can anybody tell me how can i conver the date into month year format in the dashboard prompt
originally i am getting data as a date in the dashboard prompt.i want to change that to MON YYYY format.
can anybody tell me how can i change the original date format into MMM YYYY format

hi,
Try with evaluate function in prompt Fx use the following syntax
Re: Date function
Else, EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), Date."Calendar Date", 'MON-YYYY')
What you are expecting to be in Prompt was it Mon-2009 right"?
Thanks,
