Date output format

This is a very small but curious issue. With the following code in my process:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => p_send,
P_FROM => p_user_email,
P_BODY => 'To: '||p_name||chr(10)||chr(10)||:P20_TEXT||chr(10)||chr(10)||'Your slots for leave bidding are as follows.'||chr(10)||'First round: '||to_char(p_bid_leave_1,'Month dd, yyyy - hh:mi AM'),
P_SUBJ => :P20_SUBJECT,
P_CC => '[email protected]');
The text of the e-mail looks like this:
To: Joe User
test
Your slots for leave bidding are as follows.
First round: May 12, 2005 - 03:00 PM Eastern
Why the big space in the date?

Thanks for the tip. I see now why you didn't get my issue. In the emails generated by my code, there are seven spaces in between the month and the day instead of just one. After I submitted my copy-and-paste into this forum, I presume the spaces were condensed. I hadn't noticed that before.

Different output format on pdf, same report same data same user Report 10g

Hi
I’ve recently came up with a very strange problem
I have the same report ( DevSuite 10g ) running on a win2003 server and without any obvious reason the output format changes from the original –correct one - ( the underlined text is not correct , font size is decreased , line spacing differs)
The report is executed with the same user, the same parameters and the same data...
Problem is solved only after a full server restart ( restarting only the report server, web cacle will not make any difference )
Once the report is formatted strangely we cannot run it correctly (reboot is needed)
Trace and log files shows nothing strange about the execution.
Can you please tell me how to start investigate or suggest a solution?
Thank you,
M

This is a wild guess, but it could be the result of there being no default printer. If you're using an in-process Reports Server, this runs by default under the LocalSystem operating system account. By default, this account does not have a default printer. Without a default printer, Reports may not format fonts correctly when producing PDF output.
For more information, see "Printing and Font Errors When Using In-process Server" in Appendix D (Troubleshooting OracleAS Reports Services) of Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). It (like Metalink note 272017.1) suggests changing the registry to set a default printer that the LocalSystem account can "see"). Metalink note 370150.1 offers a more drastic solution -- configuring the Reports Server to run under a different operating system account that does have a default printer.
Still, the theory that this "default printer" issue is the problem is not exactly consistent with the fact that your reports do work as expected at first, although there could be explanations for why the default printer is periodically changing (startup scripts, user intervention, etc.).
Hope this helps.

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.
Is there any limitation for excel output format of reports?
It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pragati

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

How to pull data output of TCODE "MRKO" into a BI Cube.....??

Hi Gurus:
One of the business requirement is to EXTRACT data from relevant tables that the R/3 TCode "MRKO" provides in a report format in to BI. I don't tknow if there is any std. SAP extractor that would provide me the details. We need this data to determine the payment DATE based on "Payment Terms" using a logic, then summarize the data at each Vendor level and pass this information to the BI Cube. We need this information for a Cash Flow Forecasting project.
I am not familiar with the Tcode MRKO or the program. I would appreciate it if anyone can shed some light here. I basically need a Total Due amount for a month period, Vendor, The date on which the payment has to be made in future based on the Payment terms and Company code. I don't know the tables involved, but the TCODE provides a "Total" per Vendor and thats what I would like to capture and pass to BI. How can I achieve this?
Appreciate the name of the STD extractor if one exists or the table(s), and if any logic is necessary.....?
Thanks a lot in advance.....!
PBSW

HI,
I am not aware of any standard extractor for the report that you get from Tcode MRKO, But I can suggest you in a very customized way to extract the data into BW.
When you run the transaction "MRKO", please check the program that is running in the background for that report to run and get the data output. You could easily find from the lower side menu bar.
Once if you get to know the program, create a structure and create a datasource assigned to that structure, where the datasource uses funcion module as its extraction method. In SAP you can easily convert a program into a function module and let the extractor fill your datasource for extraction.
- Another way of doing it, is to find out the tables that it is retrieving from the report MRKO and create a structure with those fields filled up using a function module. And then use that structure and function module for your new datasource to extract.

How to show data output in SSRS

Below is my simply query. I need to use Matrix SSRS format. I will put "Region" in "row" column, Header will use "Customer_Requested_Date" field, and will use "Amount" in the data session.
The data output in the "Header" field will show January.....until December (current month is December). In the Amount field under "December" (current month), I need to compute the formula like "Customer_Request_Month"
< = Current Month". (I do not have the field name called Current Month, need to get a Date/Time function to display Current Month).
How I can come up the data output under December Header field to show the current Amount in that section?
November, 2014
December,2014
Region
Amount
CRD Month < = Current Month
Select
Customer_Request _Date,
Customer_request_Month,
Transaction_Type,
Region,
Amount
From Table
Thanks,
Josephine
Josey Tang

Hi Josey,
According to your descritption, you want to show the current month in your tablix. Right?
In Reporting Services, we can use the Now() and datepart() function to get the current month. Please use the expression below:
=Datepart("m",Now())
In this scenario, since you want to show the amount of current month within the column group, you need to create another dataset which always show the data of current month. Then you can use lookup() function to get the amount value from the current dataset
based on the Region. Please follow the steps below:
Create a same dataset(DataSet2) using your query. Add a filter on this dataset. Make Fields!Customer_request_Month.Value
=
Datepart("m",Now())
Then add a column inside of column group, using the expression below:
=lookup(Fields!Region.Value,Fields!Region.Value,Fields!Amount.Value,"DataSet2")
The design and result look like below:
Reference:
Expression Examples (Report Builder and SSRS)
Lookup Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

QM-How to add a New "Output Format" in Certificate Profile?

Hello QM Functional Experts,
Can any of you tell me how we can add a custom "Output Format" in the Certificate Profile (QC01/2/3). I tried the Configuration approach via QM-Quality Certificates-Certificate Profile-Define Data Origin. I do not see an option here to add a New Output Format.
If this is posted in a wrong forum, I apologize. I am not able to find the correct forum for QM. Please redirect me and I will be glad to post it in the right forum.

How to get the CSV,DATA output from RTF template

Hi Jorge
Thanks for your help.
as in the link you have given RTF template can have the output type CSV,DATA but in the preview i can see only html,powerpoint,pdf,html excel .
How to see the output in SCV,DATA format using my RTF template do i need to do specific design for those outputs.
Thnaks in Advance

It is because it has been preconfigured with such outputs.
To modify and add more output types simply go to:
1. Edit your Report
2. Click on "View a List" (upper right hand corner)
3. Click on the "output formats" (corresponding to your layout) and
4. Check (add) the additional output formats you want your report to have.
cheers
Jorge

Error in REST Web Service with Output Format as Text

Hi All,
I am referencing a REST web service, and can successfully connect to it and retrieve results with the Output Format set to XML.
I don't need the individual node values, I just want to capture the entire XML as a string, and populate a table column with it.
When I create a new Rest web service reference, with Output Format set to Text, and then create a form/report to run it, I get the following error when I click 'Submit':
ORA-06550: line 1, column 63: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date pipe
Error Error sending request.
There are control characters in the XML, but surely this is handled by Apex, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Any ideas most welcome.
Thanks,
Rhodri

Rhodri:
Application Express expects text response to actually be text response, delimited by other characters denoting a new value, and a new record set. You should leave the response as XML. The XML document will be stored in the xmltype01 column of the collection you specify. You can then convert that xmltype01 column to a clob if you like using .toClobVal().

Jason

Query Output Formatting Help

Hello All,
I'm having problems trying to format the output of one of my queries. I'm new to SQL and I consider my writing the query a HUGE win.... but I can't seem to get the correct output format.
Per the code below, it is outputting the Last Name (lname) of the employee, a count of what I want, and the overall rank. I would like to concatenate the employee number (emp#) the first (fname) and last name (lname) together into the same column in the output.
The concatenation code would be something like the below.
Desired concatenation:
emp# || ' - ' || lname || ', ' || fname AS EMPLOYEE
I'm using Oracle 11g Express. Please let me know if you need any supporting information to assist you.
I appreciate all your help!!! Thank you.
Query
SELECT EMPLOYEE, PREPARED,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Prepared DESC) AS rank
FROM (SELECT lname EMPLOYEE , COUNT(DISTINCT reportnum) PREPARED
      FROM employee
      LEFT OUTER JOIN faultreport USING (empno)
      GROUP BY lname
      ORDER BY Prepared DESC)
WHERE rownum < 15;

Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

It looks like you've found the right way to concatenate the columns. How to use that in your query depends on your data, and what you want the query to do with that data.
If you GROUP BY lname, what do you want the concatenated value to be when different rows having the same lname have different fnames and/or emp#s?
Do you want to GROUP BY the new concatenated employee instead of lname?

Default date should be displayed in Locale's date short format in Prompt

Dear BI Gurus,
I would like to take your attention to resolve one of date format issue which we are currently facing.
We want to display Current_Date in locale's date short format ( For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY) in a dashboard prompt. Also we need to pass the the prompt value to the report filter through presentation variable.
For this we used logical sql to get the default value as select Times.time_id from sh when times.time_id= Current_Date. Once I click on the preview button it was showing in locale's date short format. But when we place the prmpt in dashboard, the default date was coming up in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. But since calendar picker is giving value in locale's date short format (For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY), there is an inconsistency in the display format. So could you please provide any workaround to make them consistent.
Thnaks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for reply.
We are looking for default date display format in dashboard prompt. i.e For US locale, default date and calendar picker should be displayed in MM/DD/YYYY and for UK locale, default and Calendar picker should be displayed in DD/MM/YYYY.
We don't have any problem in report output for different locales. Also we don't need to create 2 seperate reports for different locales. If we set the data format to [FMT:dateShort], it will display as per the locale's date short format. Please provide workaround to display in dashboard prompt.
Thanks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Output Format of Product Number

Hi,
This is pertaining to issue with Product Number, I am CIFing numeric product.
I am trying to CIF 8 digit Product code from ECC to APO and its getting CIFed as 18 digit code in /SAPAPO/MATMAP table in Extnr Material Number field, while displaying MAT1 its showing as only 8 digit.
I then changed the settings to Field length 18 and activated the lexicographical check in spro in produt master data and also the same setting in OMSL transaction code.
But when I activate the CIF queue with this setting it gives me an error that Product field length is less.
I then changed the spro setting and configured the lenghth as 40 and in OMSL its 18, now the product is getting CIFed with leading zeroes and is also displayed with leading zeroes.
My requirement is that the produt should get CIFed as 8 digit and should also be diaplayed in the table as 8 digit.
Can someone please tell me what should be the setting in spro and OMSL transaction so that their are no leading zeroes displayed and also in SAP table its not stored with leading zeroes.
When I create the product directly in APO their are no leading zeroes in table and display.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjog mishrikotkar

Hi Sanjog,
The following are the settings where the output format of a
product number will be maintained
In R/3, the lexicographic setting will be done in spro>logistics-general>
material master>basic settings>define output format of material numbers.
In APO, it is done at spro>APO>Master data>Product>specify output format
of product numbers.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Please confirm
Regards

Enhancement Req (v4.0): Report Query- Output Format- Derive from Item

Brief Introduction
I have 1 major request I would like to make (and 2 lesser ones). The first, I would like to specify custom available output formats for 'Report Query' objects, as well as Reports Regions, Interactive Reports, etc. I believe that this could easily be an instance setting in the Report Server region of the internal workspace, or per workspace / application. Even if not supported on the system wide level, I would recommend that the "Derived from Item" output format "Return Value" be allowed to be returned unaltered to the Report Server. I know that the type is returned as "_xf", and for my purposes I would REALLY like to be able to get something other than the defaults.
Use Case
I am creating a custom JasperReports integration (for which I will be launching a public SaaS beta extremely soon). It uses the standard Apex reporting objects (Queries, Layouts, Print Buttons, etc). JasperReports templates are uploaded as Report Layouts and everything works fine. I am, however, wanting to implement as many output formats as are available to me in Jasper...that means Word 07, Excel 07, ODS, ODT, etc. For the items that take a print server override I can handle this in other ways (even though this appears broken [see below]), but for the standard report queries this isn't available. I would basically like the option to define the set of available output formats for the report server, and what the "_xf" returned for each one is.
Minor Requests
- Replace Uploaded Templates: If a template is used often and updated, then it has to be changed everywhere...minor irritation.
- Customize Report Server URL for the Workspace or Application: For SaaS instances, workspace developers may license or have access to reporting solutions that are not (and should not be) available to all of the Oracle instance's workspaces, or may conflict with a service that is already provided by the instance administrators.
Broken
When I use the print server override, with the "Use Headers From" option, it appears that neither my content type, nor my content disposition headers are being sent back to the client. This is the work around solution for the non-standard types issue I am requesting enhancement on, so I would like to know what I can do to get this working immediately.
Additional Info
As it stands, if the site is available, feel free to sign up for the beta. The beta keys will be exported soon to the instance and made available. Instructions on setup will also follow:

Hi, please did you get any solution to this issue? I am having similar challenge right now.
select     EMP.DEPTNO as DEPTNO,
     DEPT.DNAME as DNAME,
     EMP.EMPNO as EMPNO,
     EMP.ENAME as ENAME,
     EMP.JOB as JOB,
     EMP.MGR as MGR,
     EMP.HIREDATE as HIREDATE,
     EMP.SAL as SAL
from     SCOTT.DEPT DEPT,
     SCOTT.EMP EMP
where EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO
and      DEPT.DNAME =upper(:dname)
This run perfectly in sql developer, toad, and even inside publisher if I login directly to publisher to create report.
Generating this same query in shared component query builder and testing it returns no data found. If I remove the last line, it works. but with the last line, it return no data found. It seems no one has been able to provide solution to this issue
