Date format disappears after 3 or 4 executions

Hi
My requirement is that i have to set my "current date" format as yyMMdd, setting this format is fine. It executes also normally with the desired output. After executing 3 or 4 times, the target format of my date ,ie yyMMdd disapears and hence the output is a blank. its a bit weird.
Any idea why this is happening.
Thanks in advance
Saiyog

Hi,
I beleive you are using Graphical mapping and Date is disappearing after producing the values for earlier occurences of field.
The only reason due to which it can happen is that you are not handling the context of occurence of source field. The occurence of source date should be equal to occurence of date field n target.
you may need to write some UDF or You can use SAP standard functions to achieve it.

DA0005 date format error after install CHF17

Date format problem after Upgrade in BI

Hi Gurus,
We have just completed our upgrade of BI System to EHP1.
My users are facing a very typical problem.
Before the upgarde they could enter date while running a report in the following format:
20100215 in date variable (No slashes or dotd.)
After the upgrade they are forced to enter 2010/02/15.
If they don't enter slashes system does not accept that.
Any idea if we can rectify that somehow.
Regards

Checked in there alreday. Problem does not arise from there it seems.
I hope I am clear enough abt the problem.
Users are forced to type "/" between year month and day. Prior to Upgrade they did not need to type "/" between year month and day.

Try deleting the .plists for Adobe Acobat.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Date format Issue after HRSP Update

Hi,
We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.
Regards

Hello Iside,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Please test the date once the software is reloaded prior to restoring the backup.
Thank you

Date Format ignored after disconnect/reconnect

I don't know if anybody else gets this, or if it has already been posted, but I didn't see anything from my quick search...
I'm connecting to a database that is shut down for a scheduled backup. When it becomes available, I "reconnect" sql developer by reselecting the connection from the drop down box at the top of the worksheet toolbar. From that point forward, dates in query results will show up in 'dd-mon-yy', even though I have my format set to 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'. It doesn't correct itself until i restart SQL developer.
I'm using SQL Developer Version 1.5.0.52, Build MAIN-52.03 on an XP Machine with jdk1.5.0_12.

There were issues with Preferences being saved in the early Adopter releases. Have you switched to 1.5 production yet?

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

Formatted fields disappear after exporting to Infoview

Hi Experts,
In my CR2008 report file, I have date fields which are disappeared after opening in Infoview.
Here is an example of the formatted date field:
{@StatementDate} =
if {@Timezone}="EST"
then cstr(dateadd("n",(5+{?Offset})*60,),{?DateFormat})
else if {@Timezone}="EDT"
then cstr(dateadd("n",(4+{?Offset})*60,),{?DateFormat})
{@Timezone} : This formula field checks if the PrintTimeZone falls in Daylight Savings or not and returns either EST or EDT
Similary, another formula field uses CurrentDateTime and returns the report run date in user timezone based on the {?Offset} value.
When {@StatementDate} is used in the report in CR2008, there is no issue. Everything comes up correctly. When the same report is opened through Infoview, the {@StatementDate} field is showing blank.
Please suggest at the earliest .Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naresh

HI Jamie,
I've tried your suggestion. When using the Timezone formula to display in Infoview, it's returning 'E' instead of 'EST', where actually the formula is failing.
Timezone formula is based on PrintTimeZone function of CR2008 to extract the abbreviated form of the User Timezone who logs in and runs a report. So, it checks for daylight savings and returns the abbreviated form like EST or EDT or IST so on.....
In Timezone formula there is a loop which tried to extract the first character of the PrintTimeZone function and returns the abbreviated formula. If PrintTimeZone is Eastern Standard Time, -300, Daylight Saving, -60, 03.0.0 2:00,11.1.0 1:00, it first checks whether the current month and date falls in Daylight Savings or not and returns True if Daylight Savings, Then, it returns EST or EDT. This works for all the TimeZone across the globe
So, in Infoview, it returns 'E' and failing to extract the rest of the characters to form EST or EDT. Any clue as why this could happen? For now, I've hard coded the formula to return EST or EDT depending on the Daylight savings true or false.
Thanks
Naresh

My RecoveryHD disappeared after re-partitionning (system-Data/BootCamp). How to restore recoveryHD ?

RecoveryHD disappeared after re-partitioning my MacBook Pro (OS X Lion) as follows :
SYSTEM (HFS)
DATA (HFS)
BOOTCAMP (NTFS)
I want to install again RecoveryHD beside the three other partitions; for example like this :
SYSTEM
RecoveryHD
DATA
BOOTCAMP
Is-it possible ? How ?
thanks.

Unless you are intimately familiar with the HDD data structures and Unix commands, I believe the only way would be by reinstalling the OS on top of your current layout (i.e., not formatting or erasing anything previously).

EA2 export data disappears after error

The export data menu item in the result set context menu disappears after you created an error. E.g. after sending the following statement:
select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual;
The call of "export data" raises an error message that the identifier for the column is too long. After that, the menu item "export data" is gone.
Regards,
Sven

Skutz,
Thanks for the response.
Yes, the problem with the export menu option disappearing is fixed with EA3.
As to when the error with the long column names not being able to be exported was previously fixed, I saw the problem (ORA-00972 with the example query given) from versions 1422 through 2579, but not in the subsequent version (2998?) where it was fixed to not cause the error.
On not wanting to rewrite my original base query - SQL Developer is already rewriting it, which is what is causing this problem. I assume the rewrite you are doing simplifies the case where only some of the columns are exported.
My query is, for example:
select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual
This runs fine and produces the expected result. SQL Developer's query for exporting is (from what you have said), in that example:
select "DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY" from
(select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual)
This fails with the "ORA-00972" error, preventing me from using the export functionality for a query that I can run successfully.
I know that the work around is to provide an alias for the column, but the fact that I can apply a work around to my query doesn't change my opinion that it is SQL Developer code that is doing the wrong thing with my query (a bug to me) that is preventing me from being able to us the export functionality for that query.
It is a relatively minor thing, but another example of something that you would expect to work (it certainly does in TOAD) which takes some of the shine off a basically good product.

Invalid date format after APEX upgrade

We are currently working on upgrading our applications from 1.6 to the new APEX 3.2 version. After the upgrade of one of our systems I have a tabular form that is returning the error 'Invalid date format found'. The date that is getting entered into the system is being displayed and choosed via a sql popup. The code for the pop up is
SQL CODE
create or replace view next_weeks as
with t as (
select
trunc(sysdate) + (rownum - 1) / 2 d
from
dual
connect
by rownum <= 28)
, call_info as (
select
c.call_identifier, c.callback_date, c.callback_cancelled
from uid_csr_schedule c
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) <
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
minus
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
=(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
union select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) >=
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
and
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
<
(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
order by o
The form then has the item set as a popup with a date format mask of dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM. The popup displays fine and the date is shown in the field but the error is received when I try to save the information. If I change the application global setting of date format mask to dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM then this error goes away however, it creates problems on all the rest of my pages that use this date in the where clause of the queries. Is there a way to solve the problem above without having to change the globalization parameter or do I need to change this parameter and then redo those queries?
Thanks for your help!
Amber

Amber,
It's interesting that the problem goes away if you set the global date format to be the same as the column level. The column level should trump the global setting. What process is returning the error? Are you sure it's the MRU or could it be something custom?
You could consider adding a process before the MRU fires that uses alter session to change the date format.

Date Formatting for characters like st/nd/rd/th after the Date

JDK provided so many features for date formatting but i would like to know how can we achieve date in below format
11th May 2009 (i want to know how to get "th" part of this).
I can calculate this by writing code for it but is their any kind of inbuilt feature in JDK to achieve it.
1*st* - How to get st?
2*nd* - How to get nd?
3*rd* - How to get rd?
4*th* - How to get th?
In some languages, there are variables like S available to get this but i do not think it is available in JDK.

prakashkamani wrote:
Wonder why is JDK not having this.If you wanted to do it in Java, you would have to have a properly internationalized solution. At least you would if you wanted it to be in the JRE. That would involve all kinds of questions that you haven't thought about, since your requirement is only for English.
I'm willing to bet that the page you linked to only works for English too.

Problem with date format parameter in SSRS2012 after migration from SSRS2008

Hello,
We are migration from
Reporting Services 2008 on Windows 2008 server
to
Reporting Services 2012 with Always On on Windows 2012 server.
I have a report that expects a date in the querystring: "...&DateTo=17/09/2014"
This use to work in the previous environment and now fails !
I logged onto the server with the credentials that runs SSRS and changed its regional settings to French(France): It didn't helped.
I tried passing in the date otherwise "...&DateTo=09/17/2014": it worked !
I tried changing the regional settings in my IE and it worked but that can't be a solution... it is still working on my Windows 2008 server... unless there is a statement from Microsoft that it explains that now it works only like this but I would be surprised... is it ?
I also saw that changing a directive in the web page can help but, why did it stopped working, is it the handling of a default value for regional settings that changed in SSRS ?
I would need help to understand this, thank you for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Claude VERNIER

Hi Claude,
Based on my research, SQL Server doesn’t supports DD/MM/YYYY date format. When we insert “17/09/2014” value in a date type column, it pops up an error message that “String was not recognized as a valid DateTime”. It means that the value “17/09/2014” is acted
as “2014/17/09” string. So in your scenario, we cannot get the expect results.
To work around this issue, we should change it to “09/17/2014”.

Date Format in calculations

Hi all,
we are currently upgrading our discoverer from version 3.1.25 to version 10.2.0.1.0.
we have an old report that had been created with the old version and saved on the computer (not in the database) with a date calculation on a date parameter as follows: <table_name>.<date_field> - :DATEPARAMETER (the date format of the two dates values is DD/MM/YYYY).
This calculation works fine on the old discoverer version when we run it, but when we try to run the report on the new discoverer desktop version (10.2.0.1.0) we get an error that the parameter is incorrect.
the thing is that if i convert the date format manually using the to_date function on the parameter, it works fine.
My question is what is the default date format for the calculations, and how can i set it myself?
i already added the NLS_DATE_FORMAT key in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE, but it doesn't work, it changes the date format of the date fields that are presented in the table after a report execution.
In addition, if we save the report to the database using the desktop version and try to run the report on discoverer plus, we get the same error and need to perform the same solution (convert the parameter manually with to_date).

I am working with dates.
1st I want to calculate a time span for example calculate cell A2 - cell A1. In cell A1 it is written 01.01.2010 (so first of January) and in cell A2 01.02.2010 (so first of February). I wrote the dates in letters, too, to avoid misunderstandings due to different national date formats.
Since January has 31 days, the obvious result thereof is "31D". So far so good.
but now I want to multiply the 31 with a numeric value, but not the 31D, because if I do so, and let's say the numeric value is 3, then my result is 93 DAYS rather than just 93.
Are you sure you're asking in the right forum?
Using Numbers '08, with the following entries:
B2: Jan 1, 2010
C2: Feb 1,2010
D2: =C2-B2
E2: =3*D2
I get 31 (not 31D) in D2 and 93 (not 93 DAYS) in D2.
From your description, I think you're actually using Numbers '09, and Jerry's advice above applies.

Barry
