This behaviour is documented in the Oracle Database 10g Globalization Guide; it also includes the steps on how to revert back to the Oracle 9i locale definitions.

Please note that 10g is using the correct convention, the Oracle9i locale definition files will be desupported in a future release.

0CALWEEK to be displayed in date format with start of week date

Hello everyone,
I have a requirement wherein I want to display 0CALWEEK info object in the cube in date format with start of week date in the Bex query report. For example if 0CALWEEK is 23.2005 then in Bex report it should display as 06.06.2005. Anyone got any ideas if we can achieve this without adding any additional info object in cube itself ?
many thanks,
Neeraj

Hi Neeraj,
There are multiple ways to achieve this.
1. Virtual characteristics. This approach still requires having a placeholder of 0DATE type in the query, but you don't have to populate it in your load. This could slow down you query as well.
2. Depending of the frontend you using you can run Excel macro (BEx) or Table exit (Web).
Please let me now if you need more details.

Date prompt with a between statement

Can a dashboard support a date range prompt? We are trying to make a prompt and use a between statement. Suggestions?

I think you are using the prompt from the Prompt tab in Answers. What you need to do is use Dashboard prompts.
Although Dashboard prompts have a "between" operator," if you use the 'between" operator, the ability to save the selections to Presentation Variables (PVs) disappears. When I need a "between" dates type prompts, I do the following:
1) Create two Dashboard prompts set to PVs, say StartDate and EndDate. (In the Edit Formula area, use a CASE stmt on the column chosen -- doesn't matter what the column is -- so no action is performed on the column) (e.g., CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN ColumnName.TableName ELSE 'TEST' END)
2) Change control to "Edit Box" so users can input the dates. (If you select two appropriate date columns, you can use the "Drop-down List" option and have the user select a valid date. In that case, you wouldn't use the CASE statement in step 1.)
2) In your report, filter on the date column, convert the filter to SQL, and type in the following:
+"Column name"."Table Name"+ BETWEEN '@{StartDate}' AND '@{uEndDate}'
3) Place both the prompts and the report on a dashboard and when a start and end date is selected, the "between" function is performed on the report.

Date format with alter session -- very urgent !!!!

The default format of date is DD-MON-YY.
I like to change as DD/MM/YYYY. So I tried to do so by going
through my login in SQLPlus and wrote
ALTER SESSION
SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
The format got changed and there after every query displayed
date in dd/mm/yyyy format. But once I exit sqlplus and reenter
in sqlplus, the format goes away and the default date format i.e
dd-mon-yy comes in existence.
I want to know, how can i make my date format permanent and too
for all users.

hello Khan,
You can set this format in 2 ways, one is
local setting and the other one is on server setting.
Edit your c:\windows\oracle.ini (local setting)
or your init.ora (oracle server setting)
and add this script
SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'
note: if there's no nls_date_format in oracle.ini, the server
nls_date_format in init.ora will be the current setting
on your PC
Hope this will help

How to format an account to show date format with MDX function @FORMATDATE

Hello,
I am working with an ASO cube where all accounts are set as numeric type. We have some accounts which hold date information for eg Date1 member which is a stored member will have data as 20120601 for June 1st 2012. In financial reports, i need to show this data as 06/01/2012 and using as essbase connection in FR, i cannot do this.
While i was looking for a solution, i came across the MDX function called
@FORMATDATE
format_string_expression = MdxFormat ( string_value_expression )
I was hoping that if i add a member say Date2 and make it dynamic and point it to Date1 and have this MDX format command to make the numeric data 20120601 show up as 06/01/2012.
Can this work and if yes, what would be the MDX formula in this case?
Any help in this regard will be a great help...the other alternative i have is to export this date data out into an oracle table, transform that data into to_date and after enabling the type measures in the outline, load it back in...i was hoping to avoid this extra route if this can be done with the formatting via MDX withing the essbase app.
Thanks...

Date formatting with java and axis

Hi,
My wsdl file has date field which uses xsd:dateTime data type. In my web service implementation java class I am passing value to this variable using Calendar.getInstance().
I am using Axis framework. When I check my soap output using TCP monitor I find that the date is of format eg: 2007-01-02T12:01:23.342Z.
The date output belongs to GMT and includes character Z. How do I get SOAP output in locale specific date time format. I used xsd:dateTime along with format parameter but no use.

The date is wrong because I ran the test using october
20th data and my data showed up.
The actual test is from 9/1 to 10/19.This still doesn't tell me what you tried, what you expected, or what you got. If you use the timestamps that you mentioned in your earlier post:
from: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 CDT 2004
to: Wed Oct 20 00:00:00 CDT 2004
then you will get all timestamps from Sept 01 to Oct 19, inclusive. You won't get any on October 20 except for 00:00:00. Was that what you expected or was it not?
I'm still guessing here, but possibly the timestamps in your database aren't in the same timezone as CDT. If they are GMT timestamps then you'll be off by, what is it, three or five hours?

Date format with BW MDX Query driver

Hi,
I have a question regarding the BW MDX Query driver.
I have updated the driver from BW Query to BW MDX Query on my crystal reports and all the Date fields have been converted to Strings. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thanks,

Hi Abhilash
Thanks for the reply. We have two different environments and are using Crystal XI R2 and Crystal 11. We have installed SAP Integration toolkit XI R2 and SAP GUI 7.1 Patch 14. The date issue is appening in both environments.
Does MDX supports Date fields/formats?
Thanks,

Data format problem with Write to Spreedsheet File

I have a problem with the data format with Write to spredsheet file.
I have an N*3 array, where the 3 elements in each row should has different length. When I used Write to spreedsheet file,
it can only save the three data in one format. How can I save them in the format of "%0.8f %0.3f %0.2f"?
Thanks for your help.

Hi powerplay,
another solution may be to convert column-wise using "number to fractional string", then interleaving resulting arrays and again using "array to spreadsheet string" (with "space" as separator).
Many ways lead to Rome

Different Date Formats in the same "From"

Hello
We used different date formats depending on the users language.
In a report this is simple to implement ... read the date field twice (in different formats dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy) and display only one based on the language.
I want to be able to do the same in a "form" which updates a date. In this case the about is not allowed.
Has anyone have solution for this using "APEX" forms or do a need to write a process to achieve this?
Thanks
Pete

Pete,
You don't specify what version of Application Express you're using, so I'll assume APEX 3.1 or later.
Are you setting the date format yourself, based upon the user's language?
1) You could have the application's language derived from Browser, and then APEX would automatically set the NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY settings accordingly. Then, I would simply use 'DS' as the Application Date Format. For Date Pickers on a form, I would use item type 'Date Picker (use Application Date Format)'.
2) If you're already determining the date format yourself and you don't want APEX to do it for you, ensure that you are setting this value in an application item (e.g., PETE_DATE_FORMAT). Then, you could still use Application Date Format with a value of &PETE_DATE_FORMAT. (inclusive of the trailing period).
When you use Application Date Format, the conversion should happen automatically for you so that you don't have to code this yourself on the Form.
I hope this helps.
Joel
