Date format in OAF
All,
In my custom OA .. I want to validate the user entered date value with the sysdate.... using the below command I got the sysdate ... but can any one tell me how to get formatted (mm/dd/yyyy) value with the below variable
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentDBDate();
Thanks,
for this requirement you need not to put this much of effort.
Suppose d is the date object then u can write like
if(d.compareTo(am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentDBDate())==0)
System.out.println("Dates are equal");
else if(d.compareTo(am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentDBDate())>0)
System.out.println("Dates is greater than sysdate");
d.compareTo(am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentDBDate())==0
System.out.println("Date is lessthan sysdate");
For comparing the dates you need not to format the dates.

How to set correct date format in OAF when column is Varchar2
All,
We have used personalization to render a couple of fields in OAF and these fields are date fields. However, these fields point to attribute fields which are defined as varchar2 in the VO. We would prefer not to extend the VO to change the data type to date.....what else can be done?
See...what is happening is, upon navigating to the fields and you select a date (using the calender), the format is dd-mon-yyyy, however, if the page is either refreshed or some other page event, the format reverts to yyyy-dd-mm and we then get a form validation error.
While we have a preference not to extend VO, I will entertain any suggestions/solutions. Thanks.Hi,
Thanks a lot and thanks for your time and good solution.
This the syntax is used for Date datatype :<?format-date:CREATION_DATE;' MON- YY'?>
and for varchar data type <?concat(' ',/XLAAARPT/P_PERIOD_FROM)?>.
Thanks & Regards

Problem in Date Format when user chages the date format in preferences
I want to generalize my code so that user can change what ever Date format he wants, I will get the date from the page in the format yyyy-mm-dd, and if the Date Format is
set to MM/dd/yyyy in prefernces i need to use MM/dd/yyyy and if the Date Format is set to dd-Mon-yyyy in prefernces i need to use dd-MMM-yy, so my question is how to know what Date format is set in the preference so that i can have all the possible date format for inserting the date
Thanks
BabuBabu,
The date format in OAF Pages is controlled by profile ICX: Date format mask.This profile can be set at site as well as user level for the individual users to set the Date format.
But I would advice not to go for setting different profile values at user level, because i remember some old threads, where seeded Oracle pages fail, as code their is not generalised to handle date formats.
If your are planning to have this in ur custom page, go ahead, but do check the entire flow is working fine for different values of this profile at user level.

Hi
I need to store a date into a flexfield. We have enabled the Flexfield and there is NO value set attached to it.
This attribute is already in the VO as a varchar, so we have just added a new column into the page as data type Date and link it to the flexfield column.
In this page we have a table layout so the user can enter 10 rows before saving them. And this page it just used to punch data into a table, which means, once the user press apply the page saves and clears. The user can not query on that page.
When entering the first row, we can open the Date picker and we can choose the date and then it populates the column as “DD-MON-YYYY”.
The problem is:
When we entering the second row after entering one column the pages changes the format of my date from the previous record to “YYYY-MM-DD”, then after entering any second column the pages clear the date from the previous row.
Running the page from JDev it shows the following message before clears the flexfield:
java.text.ParseException: 2011-01-28
Note we have not extended the VO and not extended the controller.
My questions are:
1) Why the Self-Service is change the date format to YYYY-MM-DD even if the profile ICX: Date Format Mask (31-DEC-1999) and my preference is set to DD-MON-YYYY?
2) How can I avoid this to happen? Is there any way to keep my date as DD-MON-YYYY?
Thanks,
AlexAlex,
That was the update from Oracle support, when we raised it,
But I did the following to handle that, I feel this is not the right way, since we had that issue as SEV1, I did that as a workaround,
Check this this might help.

Date format issue in Custom Pages
Hi All
I have set ICX: Date Format profile option as 31-Dec-1999 and under preferences set the date format as DD-MM-YYYY. But still in my custom pages when i fetch data and show it shows in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Could anyone please tell me is it the default mask for OAF. If so then what is the significance of setting preference format mask when it does not get reflected.Please help.
Thanks
RajHi Sachin,
where did you set the SET COUNTRY in the layout?
It should be in the Initialization tab in the Global defnitions. Please confirm that.

Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service
Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
*1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE :AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE :AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY :AMERICA
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE :
NLS_LANGUAGE :american
NLS_TERRITORY :america
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE :
NLS_LANGUAGE :american
NLS_TERRITORY :america
*2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
*3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
Thanks in advance...Hi,
Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
ICX: Date language - American English
ICX: Language - American English
ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
ICX: Territory - United States
ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
NLS parameters are given in my original email.
In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance. -
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,
NitinAs 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..... -

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;
DT
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.
venkataConversion 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.

How to get Date Format from Local Object.
Hi All,
I am new to Web Channel.
I need to know Date format From date of locale.

Is there any way to get Date format from "Locale" object. I should get date format for local object
I get local object from "UserSessionData" object but how to get Date format from it.
I am not looking for Date value. I am looking for current local date format ("mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy or mon/dd/yyyy) whatever local date format. I could not find example which show how to get date format from "Locale" object.
Any help will be appreciated with rewards.
Regards.
Web ChannelHi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4
A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users - in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
20/01/2009 20-Jan-2009 20th January 2009
This displays in BO 6.5 as
1/20/2009 1/20/2009 20th January 2009
My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
Can you advise how to correct this problem please.Hi Sebastien
Thank you for your response.
I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
Any other ideas?

Date format issue in oracle database
Hi,
Back end : Oracle 11.2.0.2.0
Front end : Forms 11g
In our application we are facing issue with TO_DATE('DD/MM/YYY') Date format conversion.
Example: TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/YYYY') giving the result as 20-Dec-0009
In the above eg the Parameter P_date is coming as '20-dec-09' from the front end (forms 11g)
The Nls_date_format parameter at database level is set as 'DD-MON-RR'
Its working fine after changing the conversion as TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/RRRR') .- If we do like this , we need to change in many places , so instead of doing this, is there other solution wrt database settings/Application settings where we can change and fix this issue
pls help us to solve the issue.
Regards.

sathish kWell the solution is right in front of you. As you say, your database environment is set to DD-MON-RR so your database is set to use 2 digit years (something most people moved away from with the millenium bug more than 10 years ago now). You can either change all your code to use RRRR as you've found, or change your database NLS setting to DD-MON-RRRR and change your front end application to pass you a date with 4 digit years so you get e.g. '20-dec-2009'.
So many people worked hard to resolve the millenium bug issues all those years ago, but still we have people, all these years later, who want to reintroduce the problem. So sad.
