Date format in ESS

Hi Portal Gurus
I have a requirement of changing the portal date format in ESS screens and other km documents modified date. Now it is in mm/dd/yyyy format and should be in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
already in su01 user-profile date format is in dd/mm/yyyy
Thanks
Prasad

The date format is calculated using country and language settings.
Check SAP Notes 947081 and 1164528 which deal with this topic.
If you use an R/3 based store (UME User Management Engine) in the backend system to keep your user data please ensure that you have not only maintained the language setting but also the country setting. Both in combination determine the NetWeaver Web Dynpro locale and in consequence the calendar date format that is used, e.g. DD/MM/YYYY for Australian English and MM/DD/YYYY for USA English.
Thanks,
Shanti

Hi Satya,
Go to User Admin, give the user id. Select this user, then Modify. Change the Language to English (United Kingdom). This should do the trick.

ESS Date Format

Hi guys,
Need some pointer here. How do one actually change the Date format in any of the ESS applications? Is there a settings in the portal? or is it controlled at the browser/system settings level? Thanks
Regards

Hi,
In ESS the date format comes from dictionary type of the model attribute.. Since this comes from backend..
Create a sub node of cardinality 1..1 .. create a value attribute of type date in it. Copy the value frm this model attribute to new value attribute.. do formatting as in general context .. in this node..
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Crystal Reports is now returning all rows where pos_endd is null in the database with the record selection criteria of:
{CHRIS_EmpSal.pos_endd} = date(0, 0, 0)
However, when I run it in Finance One, it doesn't like this date format Is there another way to get both Crystal and Finance One (i.e., SQL Server DB) to recognise the same syntax for null dates?

Please help to solve this

Hi Sravanthi,
Too late to answer but, i have also faced this issue.
1) Change the Language at Portal User Administration (Language to UK-English)
2) Change the language at System Administration --> System Configuration (Language to UK-English)
3) Change the language at Visual Admin (Language Properties)
4) Change the Language at IE Explorer Tools -->InternetOptions --> General Data tab --> Languages button --> (Language to UK-English)
5) In the server there is a property file where the language properties are maintained. You can change that as well.
6) Write a Java program which collects all the users and change the language using coding by using API
7) Change the Language at R/3 SUO1 Screen.
Out of all these techiniques every step has its advantages and disadvantages, I prefer Step1 is a better choice.
Please let me know what solution you have followed so that i too follow the same

Problem with Date formatting

Hi Tim,
I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
<LIST_G_HEADER>
<G_HEADER>
<QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
<QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
<QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
<QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
<SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
<QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
<CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
</G_HEADER>
</LIST_G_HEADER>
The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
<?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
Thx,
Nitin

As i mentioned in another thread
substring function and date format
Please use this standards
<?xdofx:expression?>
for extended SQL functions or
<?xdoxslt:expression?>
for extended XSL functions.
Use like
<?xdofx:rpad(LAST_NAME),30, ’x’)?>
<?xdofx:Instr(’abcabcabc’,’a’,2))?>
<?xdofx:upper(char)?>
<?xdofx:lower (char)?>
<?xdofx:greatest ( expr [, expr]... )?>
ETC.....

PZ11 - REM Statement in HTML format in ESS

Hi
Can we display the Remuneration statement in HTML format instead of the PDF format in ESS? If yes, how do we do that ?
Currently our system is converting the smart_form to PDF and displaying in the PDF through PZ11 transaction.
Thanks

Hi VAB
You need to call BAPI BAPI_GET_PAYSLIP_HTML (FM) to meet your business requirement.
The conversion from ABAP-listobject to HTML will be done via function module WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT
Also please notice: Note 425548 says that we must "adapt our list" so that it's layout is
similar to an HTML table. The ESS documentation for renumeration statement says that if we change the form we must also change the HTML templates. The HTML appears to be generated from the form by a "converter routine". Documentation refers to templates HR_PAY_PAYSLIP and HR_PAY_PAYSLIP_PAGE for building the renumeration statement. using SMW0 to see them.

Jun

Need to convert into date format

Hi all,
I need to convert '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00' [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[HH]:[MM]:[SS][TIMEZONE]
in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
Thanks in advance.

>
Thank you for your reply
But it is giving me output as '26-NOV-08'
And I want in format '2008-11-26 07:38' i.e 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM'.
>
Then you are not looking for a date, You are looking for a string.
The date format that gets displayed is dependent on nls_date_format parameter.
If you want a string in the format you asked, then,
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')
FROM DUAL;Or if you just want the date to be displayed like that then
Do,
SQL> alter session set nls_date_Format="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"') dt
2 FROM DUAL;

2008-11-26 11:07:38

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.
venkata

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.
