Date format for the RES.PdtePerKey parameter in FDM

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1 to load data from Oracle eBS 11.5 to Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1.
I have created a BefExportToDat event script using the parameter RES.PdtePerKey, which contains the period loaded.
On the development environment, the script, using a to_date('dtePerKey','MM/DD/YYYY'), is ok, because the period variable is returning a date loke 'MM/DD/YYYY'.
On the production environment, the same script is KO because the period variable is returning a date like 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
Which configuration parameter could explain this difference?
Thanks a lot for your help
Fanny

No, sorry, I have said a mistake!
I had checked the admin user regional settings.
You were right : the regional settings of the DCOM FDM user were different between the 2 servers (english for dev, french for prod).
If I use "*English*" regional settings on my production server, that is ok, too!
Thanks a lot!
Fanny
PS : but now, the batch loader which was ok with the French regional settings is now ko... but it is another problem... :-(

Setting date format for the entire SQL Server installation - SQL Server 2008 R2-2012

Hi,
I need to safeguard the behaviour of SQL codes that inserting into SQL tables with some date columns. For this purpose, I need to change the date format for the SQL instance and not using CONVERT and CAST.
I've seen the SET DATE FORMAT statement, but if I use it, could I solve my problem?
Thanks

The language setting is related to the database user.
BOL: "DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = { NONE | <lcid> | <language name> | <language alias> }
Specifies the default language for the new user. If a default language is specified for the user and the default language of the database is later changed, the users default language remains as specified.
If no default language is specified, the default language for the user will be the default language of the database. If the default language for the user is not specified and the default language of the database is later changed, the default
language of the user will change to the new default language for the database."
LINK: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173463.aspx
The default language setting can be overridden by SET LANGUAGE for the session:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174398.aspx
Example:
SET LANGUAGE us_english; -- mdy
SELECT CAST ('12/13/2014' as DATE); -- 2014-12-13
GO
SET LANGUAGE british; -- dmy
SELECT CAST ('12/13/2014' as DATE);
GO
(1 row(s) affected)
Changed language setting to British.
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

How to handle Multiple date formats for the same date field in SQL*Loader

Dear All,
I got a requirement where I need to get data from a text file and insert the same into oracle table.
I am using SQL*Loader to populate the data from the text file into my table.
The file has one field where I am expecting date date data in multiple formats, like dd/mon/yyyy, yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, ,mm/dd/yyyy, mon/dd/yyyy.
While using SQL*Loader, I can see Loading is failing for records where we have formats like yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, mon/dd/yyyy.
Is there any way in SQL*Loader where we can mention all these date formats so that this date data should go smoothly into the underlying date column in the table.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

The point being made was, are you sure that you can uniquely identify a date format from the value you receieve? Are you sure that the data stored is only of a particular limited set of formats?
e.g. if you had a value of '07/08/03' how do you know what format that is?
It could be...
7th August 2003 (thus assuming it's DD/MM/RR format)
or
8th July 2003 (thus assuming it's MM/DD/RR format)
or
3rd August 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/MM/DD format)
or
8th March 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/DD/MM format)
or even more obscurely...
3rd July 2008 (MM/RR/DD)
or
7th March 2008 (DD/RR/MM)
Do you have any information to tell you what formats are valid that would allow you to be specific and know what date format is meant?
This is a classic example of why dates should be stored on the database using DATE datatype and not VARCHAR2. It can lead to corruption of data, especially if the date can be entered in any format a user wishes.

Date Format for the input Variable

Hi all,
I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
Why this strange behaviour?
My questions are
Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
Rgrds
Kumar

Hi,
I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

How to use the date format for the given req.?

I have a requirement which should fetch the datas given by user. The user parameter is the date. The date will fetch the amount of the customer code for that particular month based on the date upto given by the user of that financial year.
If the user parameter is given as 200703(YYYYMM) it should fetch the datas of the financial year from 200604(YYYYMM) to 200703(YYYYMM). The logic is the user parameter year should fetch the datas of previous year till the user given date and the month should be also do the same. Please do the needfull oracle experts.

I know this will not fetch from the date the user parameter enters however is there any other options. Please help me out morgan...

Change number / date format for the user at run time

Hi,
Can I configure a report in Oracle Answers to display a column in a particular format for one group of users and a different format for another group of users?

Hi,
Yes this is possible.
In the BMM layer duplicate column which is to be formatted for different group of users. And pull it into the presentation layer.
Suppose Column 1 for the Group 1 users
and Column 2 for the Group 2 users
In the presentation layer, double click on the column and give permission for the column 1 for the group 1 users and group 2 users for column.
First create a report with all the desired columns with Administrator or Presentation Server Administrator Role. And format the columns according to the different group of users.
In, NQSConfig.ini change the parameter PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL which is under security section. By default it is set to No. Set it to yes. And restart the services.
Now logon with the group 1 users and you can see only the column1 and when logged on with group 2 users, you can see the column2.
And will solve your problem.
Please let me know if you need step-by-step process for solving.
Please award if you found this useful/helpful

In Thunderbird, how do I change the date format for the column display?

I want the date to show as DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM AM/PM. Although this should be really obvious (and I know I've done it in the past), I can't find where to do this and can't find anything in Thunderbird Help on this, not even when I search "Thunderbird, change date format".

Thunderbird usually uses the computer date and time and settings.
I'm using Windows and notice that TB is using the short date format which I set up under Regional & Language Options.
Are you using the International settings or Date/Time settings?
It should pick up the settings from the 'International' or maybe its called now called 'Language & Text' setting.
not sure which of these suits your macbook:

Date format in the file datastore

Hi,
I have source as file, in which I have date column. While creating the file datastore, I have selected the datatype as date & have given the source date format in the format column and it is working fine.
But I have source file coming with different date formats for the same column.
My question is whether i can give multiple date formats in the format column??
1. If yes how to separate the formats i.e with comma or semi-colon or etc...
2. If No, thn how to achieve it. as I can use to_date function, but in that also I have to give all the date formats.

Assuming Oracle is target database..
Try this...
1. In your file data store make the column as Varchar2
2. In the interface mapping -- specify the following string in the target column mapping
TO_DATE(REPLACE('2011-06-01','-',''),'YYYYMMDD')
If your target column is date, Oracle will convert database proper format and insert the date..
Hope this works out....
Thanks

How to get the Date format inside the table

I have a startdate column in the db in the format May 5, 2001 12:39:00 PM, when I query it from a view in this way : SELECT startdate, ... FROM ..., it returns the format in the db,
However I have to do this SELECT
decode(startdate, null, 'NOT START'), startdate), ... the result is 5-MAY-01,
then I tried this to_char(startTime, 'Month DD, YYYY HH:MI: A.M.') the results become May 05, 2001 12:39:00 PM. (more space between month and day, and 05 instaed of 5)
Does anybody know how to fix this, so I get exactly what is in the db?
Thanks in advance

No matter what you do if you are storing a date in a column it will get stored in the Oracle's internal 7 byte date format.
The way you get it on retreiving it is as set by your date format. You can either change the default date format for the instance, the individual session or the individual SQL statement(in this case using to_char(date, 'format')).
If you want to store the date in a format you want to store you'll have to store it as char or varchar2.

When you do to_char() with 'month' oracle blank pads the month to nine characters, the same goes with day too. So to get rid of it you'll have to trim() the month. And if you want to get a single digit for date less than 10 instead of 0x you'll have to do a bit of extra jugglery using translate() or replace().
Hope this helps

Date format for parameter data entry

I've just started working on MS SQL Server 2008 for the first time and am using Crystal XI11.5. I have a date parameter used to pick data. It works fine but the users are used to entering dates in mm/dd/yyyy format but this parameter forces users to enter using yyyy-mm-dd.
Normally I am not too concerned as there is the calendar but I have a couple of keyboard users who would like to just enter in the date format they are used to. I can't find any spot in Crystal to change the data entry format for the dates.
I do understand that SQL Server does store dates in yyyy-mm-dd format so is this why I only have this option? Any way to change it? I do have dates in the report presenting in d-MMM-yyyy format without problem, it's just the date entry prompt.
TIA rasinc

The later versions of CR will not allow you to directly edit the SQL statement. You actually have to add a Command and remove the tables from the data source. You can, if you wish, copy the SQL from the "Show SQL Query" and paste it into the Command.
The reason I tried to delete my previous comment is because it dawned on me (after I made the comment) that the date picker control itself, won't accept any format other than YYYY-MM-DD. So, while you can write the SQL to accept a variety of date formats, you won't be able use any of them while using that control.
The CR date picker control can be found (and therefore replaced by someone w/ more guts than me) in the following locations...
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\prompting
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\prompting

Kindly help me on this.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change date format for ‘Created’ field in the getVersions web service.
Per my knowledge, you can get the date format for ‘Created’ field as “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a”.
For more information, you can refer to:

Changing date format for some of the date columns in a subject area

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the date format for some of the date columns to dd-mon-yyy for only a particular subject area. Is there a feature available in the RPD which can help me do this?
In Answers - Column Properties for a Particular column of a report, we can save the style and formatting as system wide default for the particular column or the data type, but that applies across subject areas.
I tried with the config files too , but that too applies to all suject areas.
Thanks in Advance,
Gaurav

Why don't you create 2 logical column derived from same date physical col and then change the format for one logical column and use it in Subject Area ?

Error " Data missing for the entry check while creating a new waste code

Hi all, While setting a new Waste code I get the error " Data missing for the entry check, correction:". while filling the NAM- WASTECOCAT - LER item.
This sould look for the catalog's name included in the phrase set but for some reason it doesn't find it giving me this error.
I am changing original Characteristics, phrase set, classes, and value assignment type. Just to have my own estructure with Znames for all of them.
I have also change the enviroment parameter "WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG" with the name of my phrase set.
I have checked everything several times watching for typos or looking for a missing step.
I have even tried including my new Z's characteristics in the classe and living the original SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG. (changing the enviroment parameter WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG to SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG) and it works.
I will like to change this characteristic by Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
Phrase set to Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG.
enviroment parameter WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG= Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
After matching up the master data It should work fine but I might be missing something to get it running ok.
¿Any idea?
Regards,
Alvaro

Hello Juan Carlos, the value and class that I want to duplicate and doesn't work is for Waste Code, I have also duplicated the one you have displayed (waste pproperties) without any problem.
1.I have duplicated and changed class SAP_EHS_1024_001. to Z_EHS_WA
2. Create a copy of the 5 characteristics included in this class.
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CODE
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WA_SUBCATEG
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WA_CATEGORY
SAP_EHS_1024_001_REMARK
change the name by
Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CODE
Z_EHS_WA_SUBCATEG
Z_EHS_WA_CATEGORY
Z_EHS_WA_REMARK.
I checked the funcion C14K_WASTECATLG_CHECK is in the value of the Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CODE characteristic
I checked the funcion C14K_WASTECODE_CHECK is in the value of the Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG characteristic
3. Create phrase sets for each new category. with same name.
4. Match up the master data.
5. Change the enviroment parameter.to Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
I think I have followed all the steps, but for some reason it doesn't find the catalog
The phrase for the catalog is EWC in english and LER in spanish.
Regards
Alvaro.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(
