Date Formatting and SSN Formatting from BIP Report

Hello,
I found out how to format phone numbers.
I just need help in formatting 2 fields from our report.
1. The Call Date (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM)
2. SSN (123-45-6789)
First, I am using the command below to convert the date into canonical format after the namespace:psfn.
<?psfn:totext(ssWarrantyUpdatedDt, 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS')?>
I then tried formatting the date using the Microsoft Format Mask definitions but it didn't work.
On the SSN, I didn't see anything from the bookshelf that shows me how to do this formatting.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you

Hi,
If you XML data is coming from Oracle Report (RDF), why dont you do date and SSN formatting in SQL itself. So that you will get directly the required format in XML. That is how I am doing in my report. Most of the time it is easy to make changes in Oracle Report SQL rather than in template bcoz BI publisher dont support so many MS Word properties.
Thanks,
Omkar

Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format

Hi All,
Good Day!!!
We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
Is there any diffence in execution?
Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance,
JK

Hi,
REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
That should explain all your observations.
Cheers.
PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

Date format and number format- need help

Hi everyone,
I'm working with JDeveloper10.1.2, struts and uix pages.
I have 2 problems:
1 - I have a field of type date in my uix page and the format is like this='24-Jun-2006', but I need to change this format to be '2006/06/24'.
2 - I have an attribute of type number(salary) and when I drag and drop this attribute from the DataControl Pallete and run the project, in the uix page I see a number, for example: salary = '123456', but I should see salary = '123.456,00'.
And when I write, for example '123.456,00', when I commit this value, I should see in my DataBase something like this '123456,00'.
I alredy tried to change the attribute properties in the Entity Object but without success. :(
Can anyone help me with this problems?
Thanks,
Atena

nd when I write, for example '123.456,00', when I
commit this value, I should see in my DataBase
something like this '123456,00'.Sorry I replied before thinking about the problem. You will not see the value in the db as such, the db will show the values differently depending on the session settings.
The values will only show up as such in the form. To see them such in the db do:
alter session set nls_date_format='yyyy.mm.dd'
for the date and
alter session set nld_number_format='0.00'
for the number

Input Date display and submit formats

I need to insert Timestamp into the Oracle database table field.
My particular EO attribute is of type "Timestamp", so that I can insert the Date with time. Also in the control hints format is "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"
The problem is that I just need to show only the Date without time in my table cell using input date.
If change the format in the control hints then I am unable to insert timestamp.
I also see there is a af:convertDateTime component inside af:inputDate.
Can some show easy path to achieve this?
In short how to display only selected date but to insert actual timestamp.
I use JDev. 11.1.1.3
Thanks.

Thanks for the concern.
But if I use "af:convertDateTime" and set pattern to "dd/MM/yyyy" to achieve showing date only I will loose the timestamp to be inserted.
Basic requirement is to show date only and insert real timestamp using input date, also note that I insert timestamp on another user action after the user change the input date value.
I feel like this can not be achieved with single input date in ADF. Am I right? Or is there a way?
Please help.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Differences between Internal Format and External Format

Hi experts,
When I was importing master data from InfoObject in BW, there's an option selection in the screen of Data Manager. Its name is Choose format and two selectable options are:
1. Internal Format
2. External Format
I looked into help of BPC and it says:
Choose the Format
Note:
The External Format calls the Output conversion routine of the InfoObject.
The Internal Format does not call the Output conversion routine.
I'm not sure what is Output conversion routine of the InfoObject. Could you help me to understand it?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
In BPC Data Manager, you will find Conversions, in that you will find
External and Internal formats. This means if you are importing a flat file where in
Example your date format in that file is 31-10-2009, but our Internal format (BPC format)
will not accept it. Our internal format is 2009.OCT. So accordingly you have to
mention that. It may be for any dimension like Accounts, Product and so on.......
I hope this may help you.

Printing Procurement Terms and Conditions in custom BIP report

We are developing a custom BIP report for printing Purchase Agreements. We created new Data model and a new report template that matches the customer's requirements. However, we are not able to print the Terms and conditions in this custom report.
The custom report is placed in the Shared Folders/Custom/Procurement/Purchasing folder and we included the following code at the beginning of the custom report template -
<?import: xdoxsl:///Procurement/Purchasing/prc_po_terms_and_conditions_sub.xsb?loc=${_XDOLOCALE}?>
And at the end, where we want to print the Terms and Conditions, the following code -
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//TermsAndConditions"/>
But the Terms and conditions are not printed. Can someone please help out and point to me where the mistake is?
Thanks
Lakshmi

I am not an expert on BIP and will ask a colleague to comment. Took a look at the documentation and noticed some small differences, not sure if these have any impact, but you could try them while waiting to triage the issue:
The documentation does not have space in the import statement i.e. "import:xdoxsl" while your example has a space "import: xdoxsl"
To render the content the documentation states to use "<?call-template:template_name?>"

Help regarindg country formatting and printer formatting in scripts

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem printing the address in SAPscript. Though we try to display the field T005-LAND1 within Address -endadress, the field T005T-LANDX50 gets displayed.
For example- when we want to display countrycode as NL(netherlands), only 'Kingdom of the Netherlands' is diplayed.
i believe this is because of the Country format used in the adress. Is there anyway we can change the country formating.
Also the output gets different alignment when we use differnt printers for preview. is there anyway to overcome this?
Your replies will be very helpful and thanks in advance.

hi,
this is quite natural that ur print preview and print out differs and it differs from printer to printer.so, u have to define the paper size correctly and check if possible the type of printer they will be usually using.
here in ur case r u trying to pring the country key or country name.
in fact u have to pick the country key and print the country name in that place by getting the name from check table.

What is the difference between mp3 format and mp4a format?

I downloaded all my cds and the files are in mp4a format. This seems to be the default.
Is there any difference between this format and mp3?
Will I have problems in the future playing my music?
Will I have to download my cds again in mp3 formatr?
Please help!

Both are a Lossy compression.
You lose some of the information when you convert to this format from the original.
Both are very close to the same size when converted at the same bit rate.
A file converted to MP4 at 128 kbps will sound at least as good as the same file converted to MP3 at 160 kbps. This results in smaller file sizes with better quality.
Will I have problems in the future playing my music?
Probably not. Depends on what you want to play them on.
Will I have to download my cds again in mp3 format?
Again, it depends on what you want to play them on.
If you are using something which will not read MP4 you may want to convert them.

How to add Audio Formats and Video Formats in one movie?

Any help is always appreciated.

Sorry for this one also. Just finally searched the Inspector windoe in Compressor 4. It is already there.

How can I retrieve the col data size and Null information from table using labview connectivity toolset

Hi, there,
I am wondering how to get the table information by labview database
connectivity toolset. The table list vi comes with the toolset can get
only col name, data type and data size. And I found the the data size
always gives back -1, even though it is a string type. Do somebody has
some idea about it?
Thanks.
JJ

JJ,
Go into the diagrams of the DBTools List Columns and DBTools Get Properties respectively. When you inspect this diagram, you will see the raw ActiveX properties and methods called to get the size information. The value of -1 means the requested recordset is already closed. This is the sort of thing that is controled by the driver (ODBC, OLE DB, Jet, etc) you are using. Notice that you can right click on the property and invoke nodes and get more information about these specific items directly from the ADO online help.

Then select Edit tab at the bottom of the screen, and change both Time Zone and Regional Setting.
