Date logic in PCS tags

I've seen old postings, with no solutions posted, and wanted to rehash the discussion.
Is it possible to do any date processing in a presentation template? I want to filter out content items older than X number of days, etc.
Any ideas are appreciated.

outer loop would be pcs foreach
inner loop would have pt-tag based check
<pcs:for each...>
<pt:logic.variable pt:key="date1" pt:value="<pcs:value date1"/>
<pt:logic.variable pt:key="date2" pt:value="<pcs:value date2"/>
<pt:logic.intexpr pt:expr="($date1) > ($date2) + 7" pt:key="boolvalue"/>
<pt:logic.if pt:expr="$boolvalue">
<pt:logic.iftrue>
<pcs:insert my content item>
</pt:logic.iftrue>
<pt:logic.iffalse>

</pt:logic.iffalse>
</pt:logic.if>
</pcs:foreach>
I would see if you could use the date output format to print the date in a way that would be easily comparable...I haven't looked into that too much. Otherwise you would have to account for day/week/month etc..could be a real hassle.
Oh bt1 these tags are only available in MP1. You could always write your own tags.

MDX calculation based on date logic for the Jan 1 of current year through the 15th of the previous month

Hello,
We need some help with an SSAS MDX query based on date logic. One of the problems is that I don't have access to the Cube but have been given a query example with the logic needed for the calculation. Here's the scenario;
The ETL process will run on the first Tuesday after the 15th of a given month. The Analysis Cube data queried should include the current year up to the end of the previous month. For example, on May 19th
(the first Tuesday on or after the 15th) the query should include data from January 1st through April 30th.
The 15th of the month is not part of the query, it is a factor in when the query is run. The query will always be in terms of complete months.

Content Server pcs tags - API

The pcs tags are limited in what they allow us to retrieve in terms of information about an item. We would like to find properties related to the workflow, not only whether an item has be created or published.
The idea would be to see whether an article has been saved, but not yet submitted to a workflow process.
Is there any way of doing so from a template?

This sort of bug usually occurs when the machine hosting your WS Server is different than the one running Content Server. I'll bet those machines have clocks that differ by more than 10 minutes. Make sure they are set to the same time.
By default that method of obtaining a remote session allows it to last for 10 minutes. If your servers believe they are more than 10 minutes apart, they think the security token has expired.

Content Server pcs tags

I am just wondering who among you have already come across with combining jsp variables with content server pcs tags. Just to give you a scenario,I would like to access a folder but the folder name is in jsp variable. How could I access the title through a pcs tag. Any idea?Thanks.

One approach I have used in the past is to have a dummy field on a content item which is the selection list. I make the field multi-select, and then check the content item out, select all the possible values in the selection list and check the item back in.
Then, in your presentation template, you can use foreach on that property on the content item, which will loop through all the selected values.
... very ugly, but does the job :-)

Get Content Security Role using PCS tags in Presentation Template

I'm trying to determine what content security access(role) a user has in Publisher using PCS tags in the Presentation Template. Basically I need to check whether a user has access or not to a content item in Publisher and before an action. I've looked through all documentation can't find anything related to this, I know I could do this using remote API but I'd rather use PCS tags if possible.
thanks

Vince,
I don't think this is possible directly, however we have enabled this in publisher by checking if the user is in a specific group, or content manager and doing a check with the following code if it helps.
<pt:standard.choose xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="stringToACLGroup('group=1,<pcs:value expr="groups"></pcs:value>;').isMember($currentuser)" xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'>
</pt:standard.when>
</pt:standard.choose>
You could do the same with users. We added a select tree to choose the users and groups within publisher.
Hope this helps.

Last Consumption & Last receipt date logic

Hi
I am facing some issue while developing BI Stock report where user wants last consumption date & last receipt date in the report.
But issue is that when i am going to develop BI query how can i differentiate date for both consumption & receipt because consumption & receipt has differentiate with movement type (suppose Mov type : 101 is for receipt & 261 is for consumption then if i use exceptional aggregation and put last value & reference char as Mov type then all 101 & 261 mov type data will come.
Please guide for developing last consuption & last receipt date logic
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Anshu
Thanks for your helpful reply.
This is my last option as you suggested. But i will share you my concern that i have developed report on 0IC_C03 & in our business scenario, If i change ETL Structure then we need to delete target data, & we have millions of records if i reconstruct the data then it will take 4-5 days times. Also, some times our marker is interrupted then we need to again the same activity so i want to avoid the same activity in Workbench side and do all required changes in BI Query side.
Can we use customer variable for time characteristics for the same issue.
If there is any other idea in your mind, Please share.

Struts - Formatting date in display:column tag

Hi ,
I am using the following code to format the date in my display tag
<display:column headerClass="myclass" property="submittedDate" title="DATE SUBMITTED" decorator="org.displaytag.sample.LongDateWrapper" /> which displays the date like '12/22/2005 00:00'
I don't need this format . Instead ,I want to extend the decorator and create my own . For that , I'm using
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import org.displaytag.decorator.TableDecorator;
public class DateDecorator extends TableDecorator{
 public DateDecorator(){
 super();
 System.out.println("Date decorator constructor called...");
 public String getSubmittedDate(Object obj){
 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
 sdf.applyPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
 System.out.println("In getSubmittedDate()...");
 String date = sdf.format(obj);
 System.out.println("Formatted date is ::"+date);
 return date;
but at runtime it gives me the classcast exception saying that
class DateDecorator could not be loaded .
Kindly guide me through it .
Thanks

Decorator class that you wrote is "DateDecorator" and the decorator class that you used in the tag is "LongDateWrapper".

Difference between data logic operation and business operation

hiii, DI core, main component of DI API, performs all data logic operaton where as OBServer.dll perform bussiness logic operation at database level...
what is the difference between these operations????

Hi Nirdesh,
The DI API offers a number of objects/methods that allow you to access the information stored in the database (tables) by using objects.
The DI API is represented by the SboBobCOM.dll, in your code you only add a reference to this COM dll. This dll offerst the objects/methods you can access.
The SbobobCOM.dll is using the OBServer.dll, this dll contains all the business logic rules (like for example: you cannot delete a BusinessPartern if it has already some documents created) that will control all actions you are trying to do with the DI API methods/objects.
You have a schema representing both dlls in the DI API help file -> Introduction -> DI API components section.

Why doesn't Aperture use iPhoto's date logic?

This is how image date logic works in iPhoto. This image date value is used in queries and sorts.
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from image metadata if available.
3. If image metadata not available, use file date.
4. User can edit database date (does not change file header).
This is how it seems to work in Aperture 1.5
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from iPhoto database if import from iPhoto.
3. If not import from iPhoto, initial value taken from image metadata if available.
4. If image metadata not available, use file date.
5. User CANNOT edit database date.
I was shocked (really, I'm still stunned) that Aperture 1.5 still does not equal iPhoto's date management capabilities. Since Aperture is a Pro application it's reasonable to have several date fields, but one of them should behave like iPhoto. That metadata field should be useable in queries/filters, sorts, display, book printing, etc. It should be the default date metadata element for all date related operations.
Please note, it's fine that Aperture does not muck with image file (exif) metadata -- that's dangerous. EXIF is a quasi-standard badly implemented.
So now, my question. Why?
Aperture 1.5 was a huge update. They fixed much more than I thought was possible. It could have been labeled Aperture 3.0. Offering it free to users was a genuine apology, gratefully accepted I'm sure. It took all my strength of will not to order it immediately, waiting instead for the initial reviews to come in.
So there had to be a reason Aperture's Product Manager, Joe Schorr, had not to implement iPhoto's image date behavior. Something he'd thought carefully about.
What was it?

Perhaps it's just that they don't have infinite resources ?
The big deal (for me) was that they can "import" files but leave them on the filesystem. In true Apple fashion though, they took the extra steps of allowing management of the images within the application (consolidate and relocate). Perhaps the knock-on effects of all the things they did implement prevented them from doing other things...
We see Apple as a corporate entity, master of its domain, all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful within the confines of an Infinite Loop. In reality it's a bunch of people who only have a fixed number of hours in the day to work. Someone takes the decision that X is more important than Y and Y is dropped for this release - it's that simple IMHO.
In any event, I'd like to know how many people worked on Aperture 1.5 - the difference between the Aperture update and the Lightroom update was huge! Do they have lots more engineers/QA, or did they just get more done in the same time-frame ?

Business Logic - Success of Tag and SQL Queries

Greetings All,
I have a Logic flow from an old NQL process.
The process Gets some SQL and Tag Data then checks to see if data was returned and notifies via email if data wasn't returned. So this would translate into the Tag and SQL Queries followed by a Logic Conditional block.
HERE's the questions:
In BLS, if the SQL and/or Tag Query fail, the entire process quits (at least when Executed locally) and never gets to the Logic Conditional block to verify the tagQuery.success or SQLQuery.success.
Is this what it does when run as a scheduled task also???
Is there any onError then do... type of parameter???
Any Suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks
Dennis West

Dennis, it shouldn't "quit". The Success property should be set to false, and the error caught (typically). Sounds like a bug.

Help Needed in Date Logic

Hi I am working in sqlserver 2008 R2 and below is my sample research query
i am trying to get previous 6 months data.
WITH CutomMonths
AS (
SELECT UPPER(convert(VARCHAR(3), datename(month, DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) - N, 0)))) Month
,DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) - N, 0) startdate
,DATEADD(MM, DATEDIFF(MM, 0, GETDATE()) - N + 1, 0) enddate
FROM (

,(6)
) x(N)
WHERE N <= 6
SELECT month

LEFT JOIN (
select 10.00 as amount,'2014-04-03' as StartDate,'2015-04-03' as EndDate union all
select 10.00 as amount,'2014-04-03' as StartDate,'2015-04-03' as EndDate
) perks ON
CutomMonths.startdate >= perks.StartDate
AND CutomMonths.startdate < perks.EndDate
GROUP BY CutomMonths.Month
,CutomMonths.startdate
ORDER BY CutomMonths.startdate ASC
current output what i am getting:
Expected Output:
I found why the April month i din't get the $20 because the startdate of my perks CTE '2014-04-03'. If it is '2014-04-01' then i will get the expected output.
But i should not change the the date on perks. How to neglect this date issue and consider the month instead to get the expected output. please help me on this as i am struggling on my logic
loving dotnet

I'm just going to focus on the JOIN criteria in this reply since my answer above and your 2nd response are essentially the same except for the JOIN.
What your are describing and what you are doing in code is conflicting.
You are saying this:
"I just need to check whether the perks start date falls in between month start date and month end date"
..., which translated directly to code would be this:
ON perks.StartDate >= CustomMonths.StartDate
AND perks.StartDate <= CustomMonths.EndDate
What I believe you are getting after is this:
"I just need to check whether the dates within the perks start and end date range fall in between month start date and month end date"
..., which translated directly to code would be this, which is also my answer proposed above:
ON CustomMonths.StartDate >= DATEADD(DAY, -(DAY(perks.StartDate) - 1), perks.StartDate)
AND CustomMonths.StartDate <= perks.EndDate
However, if you really want to use the code solution you proposed, then you would actually be saying this:
"I just need to check whether the dates within the perks start and end date range fall in between month start date and month end date, but if perk end date happens to be the first day of the month, then ignore it and use the previous day."
..., in which case then your code, as follows, would be the solution:
ON CutomMonths.startdate >= DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, perks.StartDate), 0)AND CutomMonths.startdate < DATE
ADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, perks.EndDate), 0)
NOTE: The alternate JOIN I had commented out in my proposed answer above will do the exact same thing as your latest proposed solution
ON CustomMonths.StartDate >= DATEADD(DAY, -(DAY(perks.StartDate) - 1), perks.StartDate)
AND CustomMonths.StartDate < perks.EndDate
BTW, I see how you are getting to the first day of the month by subtracting all the months from the given date to 01/01/1901, and then turning around and adding them all back to 01/01/1901. While that is one way to get to the first day of the month, it
seems excessive from a calculation stand point, although I haven't performed any performance tests to know for certain.
SELECT DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, '2014-04-03'), 0)
I prefer simply subtracting one less than the current day number from the given date to get to the same first day of the month value.
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -(DAY('2014-04-03') - 1), '2014-04-03')

In which package would I find the recalculate payment due date logic

In R12 Invoice Workbench screen when you change certain fields the payment due date is recalculated. I want to look at the logic behind that functionality. I am looking at the code for the form but struggling as I haven't looked at Oracle forms in years and never anything this complex. Can someone point me to the pl/sql package that contains the logic? Thanks!

The information comes from multiple tables.
But you can get most of the information from mtl_material_transactions. It will give you transaction date, type, subinventory, quantity, uom , transaction value
You will have to join the record with po tables to get PO#
Hope this answers your question,
