Date param quirk - on report updates/saves

I noticed something quite strange with a report I have been working on. After some messing around with date format masks I have a date parameter being passed into my report quite nicely.
Hooray. Everything is working fine, I can click on the calender etc, default values are sweet ... works great.
If I make any change to my report, I have to edit the format mask every time in order to make the report operate.
I just replace the format mask with itself and hit save.
If I forget to do this, I get an 'Invalid month' error message every time, even when I am uploading a change to my template..
I guess somehow some meta data is being updated in the background with an invalid default format mask for my parameter of date datatype.... big guesses on that one.
:>

thanks for your explaination. we'll try that too.
The issue we are facing is that when we include a parameter of type 'date' for our report (we were not putting format character but we'll put that and check out now) the report errored out giving message 'report cannot be rendered'... .. this is happening just by introducing a date parameter.. if we change the parameter to type 'string' then the report shows the output..
let me know if you have a solution for this else I will open this as a new post and check to see if anyone else can help in some way

  • Displaying date/time in the report of last updating data?

    Hi,
    I have produced a report over a multiprovider. The multiprovider is built up from tow cubes. The data is being updated to one cube each hour and to the another cube one time daily.
    The date/time that display in the report is for the last updating data of the cube that updating one time daily.
    I want that the date\time be updated each hour, in another words, to display the date\time of last updating data to the second cube.
    Any suggestions?

    Can someone help me with this ?
    Regards, Vikram

    Hi Vicky,
    Based on the error message, it is related to the service account for reporting service.
    If the Report Server service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly.
    Configure the service account to run under a domain user account as follows:
    1. Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.
    2. On the Service Account page, click Use another account, enter a domain user account, and click Apply.
    3. Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application Restart the Report Server service.
    Here is a detailed MSDN article for your reference:

  • Complete data not displayed in Report

    Hi forum,
    I have a cube based on data source 0FI_AR_4,which is updated via an ODS.I have created a query for ageging analysis.The query uses Referrence number ( invoice number) to display the receivables of various customers and number of days from due date.
    To my surprise many invoice numbers are not being displayed in the query, but when i restrict the query to the invoice numbers which are not being displayed the report generated is able to display all the doccuments.
    I have checked the data in the cube and all the invoice numbers are flowing well fro R/3.
    My only way of saying thanks to the people who solve the issue or provide helpful answers is by assigining points.
    Regds
    Suhel

    hello
    This is simple problem
    The result the query fetches is not able to display in the number of cells provided in the excel sheet
    So when you restrict the data, the query is able to show all the data fetched by accomadating in the columns available in the excel.
    Here in your case , there are not enough columns in the excel sheet to display all data

    Why?

    Hi Raghu,
    That is what I do, but also no data.
    Does it need to set 'Save interval (minutes)' to 1440 in 'com.sap.portal.activityreport.core'?

  • My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

    My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
    if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
    P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
    Please help me sort out this issue..

    Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
    When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
    However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
    Hope that helps!

  • After changing a subreport I loose data in the main report.

    Hi All,
    I have a main report that has two parameter fields and two subreports linked to the parameter fields.  The two subreports access the database and work fine separately.  When I add the two subreports to the main report it works fine.  As soon as I make a change to a subreport it works fine standalone.  But as soon as I update the main report (reimport subreport) the subreport no longer returns data to the main report.  To get the report to work after a change to a subreport I have to delete the subreport from main and then add it back in again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I am using Crystal Reports 10 and I'm totally at my wits end.  I've been working with Crystal for about 5 years and this is the first time I've seen this.  Maybe I'm missing something small but I just can't seem to find the answer.
    Thanks for any help,
    Jim

    Jim:
    I usually edit my subreports from within the main report.  I right click the subreport and then click edit subreport.  This eliminates the need to reimport the subreport.  I've done a lot of work with subreports and this always works for me.
    I hope this is not too late and helps you out.

  • Use XML as data input for Crystal Report for Eclipse

    Hi,
    I am completely new to crystal report and please kindly forgive me if I ask some stupid questions.
    Actually, I have searched the forum for the topic and found some related threads, but I still want to
    have some responses from crystal report experts on this issue.
    Our developer tool is IBM RAD 7.0 and it has crystal reports tools installed in it. I want to use
    crystal report to solve one of our business solutions. I have the following questions about the
    feasbility of this solution:
    (1). I need to specify data at runtime during report generation. I think using fixed data source
         (for example, SQL query or Stored Procedure) may not fit our needs. I think if crystal report
         can accept XML as input to generate reports at runtime, then it will be perfect. Can CR
         use XML as data source as input?
    (2). Actually, one of our business requirements is to generate a letter. Can CR do a report
          layout such that a letter format can be achieved? If yes, would you let me know the
          report layout name?
    (3). We need to export the report into PDF format, I know CR can do PDF output. But can
          CR be controlled to export this into bytes stream? Or the PDF must be saved into a
          physical file?
    (4) If I need to learn more about CR, which book will you recommend?
    Thanks in advance for your advice,
    Raymond

    Thanks for the help Ted
    Works like a charm now.
    Or atleast my very very simple XML report works.
    Now I just need to play around and see what I can do and what I cant.
    I just want to make sure I understand how this works.
    1) I start of with a XML file (or URL or other data source as explained in your BLOG)
    2) I then have to create blank report which will have its data source set to my XML file.
        This report (rpt file) will always have its data source set to the original XML location
    Can this be dynamically changed, or does a new rpt file need to be created each time
        (or atleast I will have to re-run "CreateXMLInlineSchemaReport" from your BLOG)
    3) I can now use this rpt file as I would any other rpt file but its data source will be the original XML file
       - If I update or change the XML file, the report will dynamically reflect these changes.
    4) To change the data source, I need to recreate a new rpt file as per point 2. Which will now be blank.
    5) Filtering.... if I want to filter the XML data do I use normal parameters. If I want to filter the data before
        I pull it do I need to change anything. In otherwords if I have a XML file with 1000 records, but I only want say
    5 of them, how do I only pull those 5 without first pulling the whole 1000 records. Hope that makes sense.
    As I said I am very new to this so some things still fly over my head, but I do play around abit so hopefully
    will find what I am looking for.
    Cheers
    Darren
    PS any other links to info on creating and running reports of XML data sources would be greatly appriciated

  • How to show muliti language data correctly using webi reports

    Hi ,
    Can you please suggest me how to show multi language data correctly in webi reports .
    Do we need to install any lang pack in both server and client machine ?
    Thanks & Regards
    Venkat

    you mean using translation manager? or data from DB? or both.
    You need to make sure that your DB is already configured for multiple languages.
    Enable the OS for multi languages
    On XIR3.1, you will need to install language packs on the processing servers.  then you can utilize translation manager.
    Installation of Language Packs are a pain to install and update.

  • Time delay on seeing the changed data onto the webi reports

    Hello,
    I'm new to BOBJ and was hoping someone can help me with adjusting the time delay the reflects the changed data to the Webi reports.
    I have a user that would update a form on our EP.  Afterward, she would have to wait a while before she can see the changed data on our Webi reports.
    can you please tell me the default time lag and show me where I can change it if required?
    thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Our BO is 3.1 SP4.
    We just implemented PBF (Public Budget Formulation) and our forms are running on NWCE server.  It's being written to our backend BW 7.01 SP8 server.  I was told by our users that after she updates some new information on the form, it takes a while before she can see it on the reports.  My understanding was the universe should see the updated data from our BW immediately after they refresh.  Just as you both mentioned.  But according to the users, its not.  there's a time delay.
    I'm going to test this myself if there's a delay.  In the meantime and suggestion would be helpful.
