Hi,
After logon to BW, goto SYSTEM at menu bar.select user profile --> select OWN DATA. You will get Windoe, in that goto default tab, there you change DATE FORMAT and save.
If it useful assign points.

Date formats in BI Query designer

Hi gurus
We have enhanced our cube 0sd_co3 where we have taken a number of dates such as Railway Receipt date, Actual Goods Issue date, LFdat, thses are only few examples. Now our reporting scenerio demands reporting based on thses dates as given in our time dimensions such as
YYYYMM Qty
but not based on the date mapped in the time dimension in the cube. but based on these dates
in oracle we have the to_char function through which we change the format of date while writing sql query
so if there is any option of changing date format in query without changing the modelling
Pl suggest
Thanks
Shivani

Hi,
You can create new characteristic of char number 6 . Include it in the data target. Populate it via a update rule ( Routine).
Use input as standard date (Railway Receipt date) and then pass the value to the new char in the required format (YYYYMM). Follow same thing for other dates also.
Let me know if you have doubt.

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Date format changed (since SP8?)

Applied SP8 lately on a server. I guess since then the date format changed.
It is now April 18, 2011,
and it should be 18 April, 2011.
I am not sure if this is because applying SP8, but what is for sure that the date format is not what we used to.
Checked time zone. Regarding to `set time zone` it is proper (CET-1CEST).
Please advise.

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the fast reply. I will give it a try probably.
I am still wondering what could have changed the date format.

In any case, the date format on the server console is controlled by the file lconfig.sys copied to the server's c:\nwserver directory at installation time.
The following TID tells you how you can replace this file.
Note that the TID refers to changing the code page. In your case, it is not the code page you want to change, but the country code which corresponds to the date format you want to display

How i can change date format in the query

I have made a query and Document date format is DD/MM/YYYY but i want Document date Format as YYYYMMDD. Please help me out as soon as posible.
Thanks is advance.

Hi Harman,
By default query shows same date setting what is maitianed in SU01 (user maintenance). User can set the dates as they want. Ask user to log in BI system and go to system> User Profile> Own Data. They can select the date format and save the changes.
If you want to display same setting for all user, please select the format whenever you create any users and change for existing users.

Change date format in reporting (query)

I need to change date format from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in reporting (query)

Hi Suresh,
Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
Now go to defaults and change the date format.
Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

I think u have to use the ABAP code at the query level.
First take the date in one variable zdate_var and then if u want the below , then
data : zdate_var_year type d,
           zdate_var_mm type d,
          zdate_var_dd type d.
zdate_var_year = zdate_var(4).
zdate_var_mm = zdate + 4(2).
zdate_var_dd = zdate + 6(2).
YYYYMM = zdate_var_year , zdate_var_mm.
LIke this u can have ur o/p as per ur wish,

Hi,
I think there are two possible ways to do it -
1. manage it in Query (BEX) with VBA Macro
2. add Calyear to your cube & let its value be determined automatically from 0calyear & use it in query.
hope it helps.

SSAS Cube parameter date format change

Hi Experts,
I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
but it is not working and getting the following error,
"unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
Please give your suggestions
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Keyfigure value by comparing 2 date fields, in the query designer.

Hi all,
Could any one please intimate, how to display the key figure result with the comparison of 2 date fields.
We are having "Completed Date" say(CDATE) and "Deadline Date"(DDATE) values in the report as time characteristics, dervied from the CRM system.
Now we need to compare the values as:
CDATE <= DDATE, then only consider this under "Meeting Planned Date"(Key Figure).
Could you please intimate, how to display the key figure value, by using the code at the query designer level.
Thanks & Regards,
A.V.N.Rao

Hi Rao,
Simple create two formula variables with replacement path from these two date fileds,then create a formula then do the comparison
Eg:
ZVAR_CDATE WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ CDATE
ZVAR_DDATE WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ DDATE
CREATE A FORMULA FORMULA1: IN THE FORMULA BUILDER AREA DO THE COMPARISON.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Babu,
If the format is required in the Bex analyser then its system dependent setting .
Control panel - > Regional & language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short Date format -> DD-MMM-YYYY(Change) .
Do not forget to log off and re-login into bex,execute queries and see the output.
Hope that helps.

R2 to R3 upgrade Schedule Date Format Changed

We recently did an upgrade from BOXI r2 to R3. We did the installation wizard using the r3 image to the same server.
What we have noticed now is that all the schedule dates in the CMC for our reports have changed format from US to EURO. 01/13/08 to 13/01/08
We are still on the same server, and it appears that the time format is comming from our web server now.
Dose anyone know how to change the date format on Tomcat to reflect standard US time and Not Euro.
Or if this isnt the case where else could I check for date formats, we have checked the CMC, the Server itself and the Preferences.
Thanks
KF

Hello,
did you checked the locale of your OS ?
When you say you checked the preferences you mean the preferences of InfoView ?

BAPI - Webservice, Date-Format changed

Helly everyone,
I've got a problem when creating a WS based uppon a BAPI (BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL). The Webservice itself works fine. But if I use the BAPI I need to use the Date-Format DD.MM.YYYY for the required Input-Field Flightdate. In the WS I need to use the format YYYY-MM-DD. Now, is there any way to use the DD.MM.YYYY-Format in the WS also?
