Date Parameter in BIP

Hi
I have compiled a report in BI publisher. As part of reports i have also configured LoVs and Parameter (Date). Whenever i open the report from Excel Analyzer and going to define date parameter for filtering. I get the following error:
Runtime error '1004' : The name that you entered is not valid
I have set the Date string as: yyyy-mm-date and i am entring the string as: 2009-08-26
Even the calendar attached with Date field in BI publisher does not work properly, if i select 1 jan, 2009 from calendar then what i get in the field is 2009-14-01
Thanks in advance for your prompt response
Regards
Perhiya

Try using date format as yyyy-MM-dd and resave your report . It should work.

Need help on Date Parameters for BIP Report

Hello,
I need to add a date parameter in my BIP report. I have used a date parameter on a BIP report that has a for-each grouping, but my BIP report RTF template that was converted from Actuate do not have a for-each grouping and I was getting an error when I validate the RTF template. Can someone please help?
Thank you

Declare the parameter in the template as
<?param@begin:param1?>
and use it as <?$param1?>

Can we pass data-parameter in host

Can we pass a data-parameter to a report using host command in the form.

Your answer is quite correct, but it is stupid behavior - how do you build backwards compatibility into a function if you have to specify the keyword 'default'?
For example, I have an existing function that takes one parameter, but I need to alter it to take two parameters. I work for a large bank that has a rigorous change management process, and this function resides in the data warehouse, so many
people can use this function in their code, and I need to ensure that any changes I make are backwards compatible, and don't break any existing code that I don't know about.
If this was a stored proc, I could call it without the optional parameter, and the default value would be applied, but a function needs me to specify the keyword 'default' or to provide a value.
My only option seems to be to create a wrapper function that calls either the old function (if only one parameter is provided) or the new function (if both parameters are provided). Sort of defeats the purpose of having default or optional values.

Unit Testing: Supplying SYSDATE on a DATE parameter

hi all,
I have a procedure that I'm unit testing and one of the parameter is date, I want to supply a dynamic value to it relative to sysdate but SQL Developer only accepts hard coded date values. Does anyone know how I can supply SYSDATE or SYSDATE-50 to a date parameter directly. I can already solve this by using a wrapper procedure, just wondering if there's a solution to directly supply the value.
Thanks,
Alfredo

Hi Kranthi.
1. Assuming you are with Plus you can make the parameters optional in the parameters screen (tools -> parameters)
so that if they get NULL as value they will return all data.
2. the second way is if you like to keep it mandatory is to define a default value for the parameter and then take care of the situation in the condition.
for example you'll define the 1-Jan-1900 as your default date for the from_date.
Then in the condition change if you'll define it just as from_date > :P_from_date then you got what you wanted.
BTW In similar situations when you are dealing with varchar you can do a manipulation such as:
from_date > :P_from_date
Or
:P_from_date = '1-Jan-1900'

How to pass a date parameter from report builder query designer to oracle database

i'm using report builder 3.0 connected to oracle database. i'm trying to pass a date parameter in the query with no success, i don't
know the exact syntax. I've tried :
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date('01/01/2014','mm/dd/yyyy')
it worked perfectly.
However if i try to put a date parameter "From" instead of 01/01/2014 it will not work, a Define Query Parameter popup window appear and error occurred after i fill
the values (usually i shouldnt get this popup i should enter the value when i run the report)
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date(:From,'mm/dd/yyyy')
appreciate your assistance

Hi Gorgo,
According to your description, you have problem when in passing a parameter for running a Oracle Query. Right?
Based on my knowledge, it use "&" as synax for parameter in Oracle, like we use "@" in SQL Server. In this scenario, maybe you can try '01/01/2014' when inputing in "From". We are not sure if there's any limitation for To_Date()
function. For your self-testing, you can try the query in sqlplus/sql delveloper. Since your issue is related to Oracle query, we suggest you post this thread onto Oracle forum.

How to pass date parameter from one page to other in BSP application

Hello gurus,
In my BSP application i have taken an input field and made its type "date" and its value also of type date and have set showhelp .
Now once a particular date is given as an input i want to pass its value to next page. And in next page i have to fire a query based on the date entered in previous page...
Now my prb is that my date value is not getting passed to the next page.
I have used
navigation->set_parameter( name = 'BEGDA' value = BEGDA ).
to pass date parameter.....still parameter is not getting passed.
plz help me with this.....
thankx.....

Hi Eddy,
By truncation i mean the entire date becomes 10 char including the ' . ' eg(06.12.2006).
so with begda being 8chars it takes my date as 06.12.200
as a result my query is not getting executed.
now i have tried to use a FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT'.
in my 1st page but still in 2nd page its giving me following error.
<b>The data that was read could not be written to the specified target field during a SELECT access. Either the conversion is not supported for the type of the target field, or the target field is too short to accept the value, or the data is not in the appropriateformat for the target field.
</b>

Sending Date parameter from the form to Report

Dear Friend
Hi everybody, I am sending the date parameter to my report through a form ,and my date format in the form and in the report as follow : DD/MM/YYYY but when I enter the date as 18/1/2004 the system pass this value as follow : 18-JAN-04 but I want the system to pass my date format as 18/1/2004 not as 18-JAN-04 ,how can I do that
Best regards
Jamil

Ino,
thanks for your answer.
You're all rigth abouth the index issue. So I've written my SQL like you say in your post. But i get an error : "ORA-... Non-character found where character expected... " or something like that. I've checked nls_date_format in my client machine and the server (DB 8.1.7.4), and also the regional settings in both machines, and all are set to 'DD-MON-YY'. What can be wrong?
Thanks again for your time.
Jaime.

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Issue with Custom data parameter in Excel Data Connection

Hello,
We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
the request only for this specific case?
1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>DISCOVER_LITERALS</RequestType><Restrictions/><Properties><PropertyList><Content>SchemaData</Content><Format>Tabular</Format></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

SSRS Dynamics Date Parameter

Hi,
I have an SSRS report with Dates Parameter. it is compsed of FROMDATE and TODATE. The default value of FROMDATE is the current date and TODATE i added plus 1. This reports will get the transaction for Shift 1 and Shift 2. the shift1 start at 6:00AM of the
current date until 6:00PM, then the shift2 will start from 6:00PM of the current date until 6:00AM of the next day.
Here is the code: I set this code in the expression parameter value
FROMDATE : =DATEADD("d",0,Today) --the value is 6/11/2014 --current date
TODATE: =DATEADD("d",+1,Today) --the value is 6/12/2014 --next day
My requirements:
I wanted the date parameter to be dynamics. WHen the time of TODATE falls on 6:00AM, the FROMDATE will change to 6/12/2013 while the TODATE will change to 6/13/2014.
For ex. tomorrow 6/12/2014 6:00AM the value of these two paramter will be change to
FROMDATE: 6/12/2014
TODATE: 6/13/2014
Thank you in advance.

Environment: We are running SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition with Analysis Services. Reporting Services on a separate machine. Visual Studio 2010.
I have a Date dimension with a generated table named Time. To the table I have added custom columns to show Week_Ending and Short_Date_Alpha that are used in Excel Reports from the Analysis Services Cubes.
When I attempt to use this dimension in Reporting Services, it times out if I try to use it as a parameter. The report will run for 30 minutes, never surface the parameter selection box and then eventually time-out with an unknown error related to
the time dimension. This is in Visual Studio.
If I pull the dimension directly from the SQL table I can produce a report on it. If I run the full query for the measures with the default date selected it runs in seconds in the query builder.    Here are 10 rows of the relevant
table structure:
PK_Date Date_Name Reporting_Year Reporting_Year_Name Reporting_Month Reporting_Month_Name Reporting_Week Reporting_Week_Name Reporting_Day Reporting_Day_Name Short_Date_Alpha End_of_Week_Name Week_Ending WorkDay

The dimension looks fine when I browse it.   It produces the correct information in the Excel Reports, but I cannot get it to work in Reporting Services.
I have deleted dates out of the cubes and processed, then added the Time dimension back in and processed and it still won't work.   I have a cube running off a table called Date and that seems to work.
Is the issue with the table name? With the custom descriptions?   Something else?

How would you best suggest limiting the time frame?   Add a filter to the query so that the future dates are not part of the selection?   I'm doing some data refresh in the data mart so won't be able to try limiting the selection
for a few hours.
Hi Diane,
Could you please let us know how many available values for your date parameter(the quantity of date dimension in SSAS)? One workaround that we can try to add an additional text parameter which will prefilter the available values in the large parameter list.
Here is similar thread about this topic for your reference, please see:

SSRS Report date parameter values using SSAS Cube as datasource

Hey Guys,
i m building an SSRS report using SSAS cube as the data source. The report contains shared data-sets which provide the required data. below is the set up.
Sql server version : Sql server 2008R2
Report builder 3.0
I have, Report A, powered by Dataset D, running on Cube C. The dataset has 3 parameters out of which one of them is a date parameter- P1. I have it set up such that on the report there is another parameter - P2 which contains the type as Date ( to
ensure the user is exposed to a date picker), the input from this, P2 is then manipulated to required format before fed into the dataset parameter P1 (hidden). I have two questions regarding this parameter.
Currently, when the user pick's a date (P2) which has no values, the report errors out as it doesn't find that corresponding member on the cube. Can it be made such that if the member doesn't exists, a simple error message like "date not found"
pops up as opposed to report failing?
Secondly, can i manipulate the date picker (P2) exposed to the user such that the unavailable dates are grey'ed out on the date parameter (P2)?
Please let me know if there is any more info required on each of the questions.
Thanks
Srikanth

Hello Katherine,
below are the errors which pop up with the 'Constrained' function in place and without. The MDX query is what follows.
Without:
An Error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted). The Execution Failed for the shared data set “Dataset1”.(rsDataSetExecutionError). Query Execution failed for dataset ‘DataSet1’. (rsErrorExecutingCommand). The dimension ‘[10 Sep 2014]’
was not found in the cube when the string, [10 Sep 2014], was parsed.
With Constrained flag:
An Error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted). The Execution Failed for the shared data set “Dataset1”.(rsDataSetExecutionError). Query Execution failed for dataset ‘DataSet1’. (rsErrorExecutingCommand). Query(1,1476) The restrictions
imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated.
