Date format in Team Development

Hi,
Is it possible to customize date format in interactive reports being a part of Team Development? It is preset to MM-DD-YYYY.
Cheers
Arek

Hi Arek,
not that I'm aware of. But you could try to define your own column with "Action > Format > Compute" and use
TO_CHAR(XX, 'DD-MON-YYYY')Just an idea.

Update date format in SQL developer

I need to convert date format in SQL developer , it's varchar2 format now
The current format is yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss:sss and I need to convert it to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss CST
I don't really know SQL but did some research and found that I can use instr to find the string and replace it, however, no matter what I try,there is always something off :(
Could anyone here help me with it? thanks in advance.

create table xo_custom_date_format (mydateAsChar varchar2(100));
table XO_CUSTOM_DATE_FORMAT created.
insert into xo_custom_date_format
values ('2012/03/23-09:52:24:123')
+1 rows inserted.+
select mydateasChar from xo_custom_date_format
mydateaschar
+2012/03/23-09:52:24:123+
select to_timestamp(mydateaschar, 'YYYY/MM/DD-HH24:MI:SS:FF3') mydateAsTimestamp from xo_custom_date_format
-- We must convert to timestamp data type, rather than date data type as you have fractions of seconds
mydateAsTimestamp
+23-MAR-12 09:52:24.123000000 --<-- This will probably appear differently, depending on your database NLS_ settings (i.e. what country you are in)+
select to_char( to_timestamp(mydateaschar, 'YYYY/MM/DD-HH24:MI:SS:FF3') , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')||' CST' as myDateReformatted

Multiple date formats using sql developer

Hello!
i have 2 date fields in a table.. one is populated using trunc(<date1>) and the other is to_date(<date2>,'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS'). We want <date1> to display as MM/DD/YYYY and <date2> to display as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AMPM. When we set the date format under Preference -> Database -> NLS parameter in SQL Developer with a time format it adds 12:00:00 to <date1>, if we take it out, it drops the time in <date2>. What can we do?
thanks!

I think what the original poster wanted was to display the two date columns using different formats in the table "Data" tab and AFAIK that is not possible. Setting a date format in the Preferences accomplishes the same thing as the statement
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='<some format>';
in command-line SQL*Plus. To do what the OP wants they'll need to create a view that has a SELECT something like this:
SELECT TO_CHAR( date1, 'YYYY-MM-DD' ) date1
, TO_CHAR( date2, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') date2
FROM some_table;
One thing the OP needs to keep in mind is that the DATE datatype stores both date and time together. If they insert a date alone, the time defaults to midnight. (This is stated in the Oracle SQL Reference.)

Date format problem in Developer Forms 90

My platform is NT40 and Developer Forms 90.
PRE-FORM trigger is :
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(PLSQL_DATE_FORMAT, 'DD-MM-YYYY');
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT, 'DD-MM-YYYY');
FORMS_DDL('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "DD-MM-YYYY");
message(GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USER_NLS_DATE_FORMAT));
Variable USER_NLS_DATE_FORMAT is 'YY/MM/DD'!
Where is problem ?

From the online help:
USER_DATE/DATETIME_FORMAT Returns the current value of the user date or datetime format mask (which is established in the FORMSnn_User_Date/Datetime_Format environment variable).

Date format on form submit

After setting up the date formats with the developer toolbox, the help instructs you to insert KT_formatDate($row_rsRecordset['name_emp']) into your pages. This works great for displaying data, however I can't find what to do to fix the date format upon submitting a form. I am using the Insert Record server behavior and assume the KT_formatDate needs to be added there, but no matter where I put it it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Hi Megan,
ADDT provides a variety of so-called "dynamic data" placeholders which can be used when inserting/updating records. In your case the placeholders in question are...
{NOW} for MySQL date columns
{NOW_DT} for MysQL datetime columns

How to change Data Format

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
Marco

Marco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

Invalid data format on EXPORTING table to SQL-FLAT FILE (Insert type)

Hi there!
Writing from Slovenia/Europe.
Working with ORACLE9i (standard version) on Windows XP with SQL-deloper 1.0.0.015.
FIRST SQL.-DEVELOPER IS GOOD TOOL WITH SOME MINOR ERRORS.
1.) Declare and Insert data EXAMPLE
drop table tst_date;
create table tst_date (fld_date date);
insert into tst_date values (sysdate);
insert into tst_date values (sysdate);
2.) Retriving date with SQLPLUS
SQL> select to_char(fld_date,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM TST_DATE;
23.10.2006 11:25:23
23.10.2006 11:25:25
As you see TIME DATA IS CORRECT.
When I EXPOPRT data TO SQL-insert type I got this result IN TST_DATE.SQL file:
-- INSERTING into TST_DATE
Insert into "TST_DATE" ("FLD_DATE") values (to_date('2006-10-23','DD.MM.RR'));
Insert into "TST_DATE" ("FLD_DATE") values (to_date('2006-10-23','DD.MM.RR'));
As you seel I lost TIME DATA.
QUESTION!
HOW CAN I SET PROPER DATE FORMAT IN SQL-DEVELOPER BEFORE I EXPORT DATA TO FLAT FILE.
Best regards, Iztok from SLOVENIA

A DATE-Field, is a DATE-Field and not a
DATE-TIME-Field.
The export-tool identifies a DATE-Field and exports
the data into date-format.This is not true. Oracle DATE fields include a time element.
To the original poster - I believe this is a bug in the current version.
See this thread for possible workarounds Bad Export format --- BUG ???

System Wide Data Formats Not copied from Development to test

I am using OBIEE 10g. When I copy my dashboards and reports via the Catalog Manager from the development environment to the test environment the system wide data formats are not being copied over. That is, all the ones that I saved under "Column Properties->Column Format->Save As System Wide Default" are not being copied over. I am using archive and unarchive in the Catalog Manager to move from development to test environment. So my question is where are these system-wide defaults stored and what do I need to do get them copied over?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
the system wide column formats are stored in catalog under system/metadata folder.
copy this folder from dev env to test env. via catalog manager, restart ps.
assign points if found helpful.

Nls lang and date format

The chinese character and date in the result are not displayed properly.
How can I change the nls lang setting as same as in db? And,
how to change the date format to yyyy/mm/dd?
Please help! Thanks!

The SQL Developer team already informed that the implementation of a routine is foreseen for future versions to configure these parameters
It sees what the Sharon (sbkenned) said in the topic of the follow link:

Export Date format

Hi,
I have just installed the last sql developer release (1.5.1.5440) and i have a problem to export date. For information, I am connected to a Oracle 10g DB on windows.
I have set the same NLS_PARAMETERS from the sql developer 1.2 version, but i have not the same result.
Here is a date export with sqldeveloper 1.2 below :
Insert into VALEURS (ID_VALEUR,DATE_CREATION) values (189,to_date('2008/01/28','DD/MM/RR'),null,null);
Here is a date export with the last sqldeveloper release below :
Insert into VALEURS (ID_VALEUR,DATE_CREATION) values (189,to_date('2008-01-28','DD/MM/RR'),null,null);
I have not found yet the parameter to set. Please, help me.

Hi,
This is as reported on
Re: SQL Dev 1.5 Export Wizard can't export dates?
Current workaround is changing the Date Format of the export script manually using Find - Replace to follow SQL Dev's format (Note : the time information will be set to 00:00:00 as if no timestamp given on the insert script).
Or wait until the team find and fix this bug on the next release.

Team Development with Subversion

Hallo,
we have a model with nearly 1,900 tables. We were on Oracle Designer before and now started with a fresh reverse engineered Data Modeler model. Since Data Modeler does not have a database repository like Designer had, we use integrated subversion for team development.
However, we encounter some serious problems when working like that. Please consider the following example:
- First, I do a checkout on the subversion repository to build my initial working copy. I do that whithin SQL Developer (the integrated modeler)
- Second, I model one new table in the modeler and save the whole design.
- Afterwards I look at pending changes (outgoing) and see, that I seem to have altered a lot of other tables, that I did not touch.
- We saw changes from merely username to switches between not-null and nullable columns.
- The issue is not always reproducable, but it occurs very often.
This behaviour makes it nearly impossible for us to develop a model in the team. If I comitted that state, it would have led to a faulty model.
I'd like to ask you if anyone also saw those problems. Am I alone with that? Any ideas on how to solve the issue?
I'd be able to provide details for the development team.
Thanks in advance,
Ralf

Meanwhile we found some regularities.
1. scenario: Compound foreign keys (mandatory or not is unclear).
Create the following in a db-schema of your choice:
drop table modeler_a;
create table modeler_a
a_id number ,
a_id2 number,
constraint a_pk primary key (a_id,a_id2) enable );
drop table modeler_b;
create table modeler_b
( b_id number ,
b_a_id number not null,
b_a_id2 number null,
constraint b_pk primary key (b_id) enable,
constraint a_fk foreign key (b_a_id , b_a_id2) references modeler_a ( a_id , a_id2) enable );
create index modeler_b_a_fk_idx on modeler_b
b_a_id,
b_a_id2
I am not sure if you need the index, but do it.
Now perform a reverse engineering via Import-Functionality in the modeler.
Do not save the design, see first if you find b_a_id number not null, you will find it. And you will find b_a_id2 null.
Now save the design, maybe close and reopen it. Look at table modeler_b again. You'll find both fk columns not mandatory, which means nullable.
This is why a versioned save would have outgoing changes though the user changed nothing.
I understand, that from the modeler-perspective it is not ok to have a mandatory foreign key with one column mandatory and the other not. In my opinion the change should be the other way round: It should make the nullable column not null and the foreign key mandatory. And it should inform the user about the change.
2. scenario: Changes of changed_by though nothing was changed.
I could not produce a simple testcase yet. The thing is, that I checkout a fresh working copy, save the design (changing nothing) and see outgoing changes because the changed-by-field has changed to my user name. Not all tables are affected.
Other scenarios will follow.
Best regards,
Ralf

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.
suppose there is a date "01/25/2010" date in date field I want to get string "mm/dd/yyyy". Actually I have to pass date format to backend when I call RFC.
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 Channel

Hi,
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.

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
customer (credit) for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?
Requirement gathering, blueprint creation, development etc

Team development in Apex 4.0

Hi,
I want to know how to get values in Assignee, Release and Application select lists in Features in Team Development in Apex 4.0. In the Application select list i m not getting even the applications which are created in my workspace.
Please guide.

So, with the help of Dan...
??? I went to Features and it was a popup. I swear I clicke the icon and nothing. Of course I was out with the team last night and may not be at my most reliable.
Went to Bugs > Create Bug and it Application context is a drop down. My workspace applications were there. Did not create a bug.
Went back to Features and the popup now had the application....
I know how a select list works, so I must be wrong...
However, the filter on the Team Development page must be a select distinct from the features table (WWV_FLOW_FEATURES). The challenge here is that being a lightweight app a user can decide to user milestone or features or both... since milestones don't have app but do have release it seems there is a disconnect in the data flow.
My idea of the data/process flow.
Milestones
-- Features
---- To do / Feedback / Bugs
---- Feature
------ To do / Feedback / Bugs
---- Feature N
------ To do / Feedback / Bugs
And all can be stand alone. But almost all need to relate back to an application and application does not seem to propgate down... too much logic if the hierarchy is not set.
But at least for my lightweight needs at a small client this will be a good tool.

Exporting data from Production to Development in a R/3 System

Good Morning,
I have a landscape where i have a Productive and a Development system (SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 SR1 1.10 with MaxDB 7.5 running on a HP-UX 11.23) and i was asked to copy the data and customizing (not user master data) from Production to Development. Both systems have 7 clients (6 for each country and one for Human Resources) and i need to copy the productive data to the development data (the Productive data can overwrite the Development data).
This is my first time doing this, and since i have a short deadline to do it, i need all the help i can get...
I'm not sure if i should use SCC8 or SCC9 in order to create a transport request for each client copy.
I've checked the OS space in sapdata and transport directories, i've also checked the database space and i need to change MAXDATAVOLUMES size and also create more volumes.
Now that i've done that, i need to know what to do next... Does anyone knows where i can find a procedure or documentation on this? Some kind of step by step guide?
About the Export Profiles, which default profile should i choose in order to copy
All client specific data, customizing AND NOT user master data?
Can i do any kind of test run before the export in order to understand the space i'm going to need in transport directory for example?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pedro Gaspar

Hello Pedro,
1. In SCC8 the SAP_APPL profile isn't available, so i guess i need to use SAP_ALL and change the user master data accordingly afterwards right?
In that case, you should/can 'Export' the user master of the target system before the Client copy, so that you can re-import the same user master in the target system after sap_all copy from source.
2. I also have several project teams developing in ABAP in my development system. If i export the productive client, will the ABAP code be overwritten (scripts, smartforms, etc...)? I ask this, because right now there are several programs with different versions in both systems (the landscape consists of only a DEV and PRD system NO quality). If the ABAP code in development will be overwritten, i need to tell the development teams to comment all the changes, then create transports to production to make the program versions the same, and then save the data an cofiles to import them again in development after the import. Will also RFC definitions change? Jobs will also be copied? What's the difference between this and a Homogeneous System Copy using backup/restore?
This is the reason that normally the 'Production to Development' copy is not recommended. I would wait if our other techies here can help/advise us for this.
A simple difference between a client copy and system copy is that the client copy is just 'client dependent' change and system copy is 'system wide' change - erasing everything on the target and just overwriting/duplicating the 'complete source' onto the target.
Thanks
