Date parameters in WebI XI

Post Author: foxy
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
If you have a date parameter or a date range parameter, is it possible for the user to leave the prompt blank if they wish? or does WebI XI force a value to be entered for the prompt?
Thanks
Foxy

Suz,
You officially joined the ranks of us who would LOVE to be able to set or change the date format of the date prompt object... Unfortunately, you, like the rest of us, cannot.
Sorry,
Jason

  • How to send data from a web dypro application using workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working on a web dynpro application where the user will enter the header and item details for a FI document to be posted. Once the user enters the data the workflow should initiate and should also send the data across to the approver to approve. To initiate the workflow I am using the function module 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW' and it's working fine and generating a uniquw workflow item id. Now my main concern is how to send the data across from web dynpro application through the workflow. I have my data in three internal tables: 1. header table. 2. G/L table and 3. Currency table, I am capturing all this data from the web dypro screen entered by the user. Right now I have the following code in my web dypro application.

    Dear Colleague,
    You have different method to send parameters to Workflow.
    1. Method

  • Error when using Date Parameters...

    Hi everybody,
    I have a little issue.
    Ever since I upgraded my CRXI R2 to SP4 I've had a little problem using date parameters.
    The little calendar icon next to the parameter field no longer works.
    When I click it I get the following error message:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page.
    Line:       79
    Char:      1
    Error:      Object Expected

    I'm thinking this is probable a quick registry fix, but I have no idea where to start looking.
    Hopefully one of you CR guru's knows the answer.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Defaulting Date Parameters

    Post Author: tegage
    CA Forum: Formula
    I have many reports that allow the user to specifiy a starting and ending date range.  I would like the reports to default to all dates.  I can do this by defaulting the start date to "01-01-2000" and the end date to "12-31-2099", but then the calendar tool is useless since there is no TODAY button on the calendar tool and it picks up the default date, i.e., the users will have to do a lot of scrolling through the calendar tool.
    The other way is to make the starting and ending date parameters strings and use values like Today, This Week, This Month,....  and reolve them in the record selection formula.   This would be nice, but then if the user wants a specific date range, they don't have the calendar tool to use.
    Is there a way to take advange of the user-friendliness of string values and still have the calendar tool to use?

    Post Author: tegage
    CA Forum: Formula
    Thanks much for the response. 
    I had done exactly what you described - I had a string parameter for Today, This Week, etc and a set of date parameters - Starting and Ending Date.  But, in order to use the Starting and Ending dates in a formula, I had to provide them a default value - leaving them blank causes the record selection formula to explode.  The issue here is that the calendar tool picks up the default value instead of showing today's date. 
    I did more web surfing and found the answer on the Business Objects web site.  The solution let me do what you suggested AND keep the Starting and Ending date parameters as Date types and defaulted to blank by making them optional parameters.
    From the Business Objects web site (why isn't this stuff in the user's guide?):
    2.  Control over default values.
    3.  Request for an 'ALL' value.
    Both of requirements 2 and 3 are met with the new optional parameter feature of CR 2008.  When a parameter is flagged as 'optional', the report can execute without that value being set.  The trick here is that any formula that attempts to reference an optional parameters that doesn't have a value set will return an error.  So we've introduced the new HasValue() function which allows you to check and see if the parameter has a value. 
    This is really powerful, because now you can reference your parameters indirectly through another formula (or custom function) that checks if the parameter has a value or not.  If it does, then the formula returns the parameter value.  If it doesn't, then it can return whatever default value you wish.  So if you want the default to be the day before, or last Friday, then you can code that logic into your formula that uses HasValue to check if the parameter has a value set or not.
    Optional parameters were also intended to solve the 'All' problem.  Basically, you want a parameter to participate in a record selection formula only if it has a value.  If it doesn't, then you want that filter to be disabled.  By using optional parameters and HasValue() in your record selection (and new saved data section) formulas, you can include conditions in your filter only if the parameters in those conditions have a value.

  • How to Use SOAPArray to Exchanged Data with a Web Service

    The method of a prototype Web service I created is defined to take many parameters
    and return an object of a user defined class. Furthermore, the user defined class
    includes data elements of another user defined class and the Java ArrayList class.
    This works with a Java client referencing the WebLogic created client.jar file
    but I don't know how well it will work with a non-Java client. In particular,
    with Perl which is the language that will be used by the developer who first will
    test with the prototype.
    In posts to this newsgroup use of "language-specific, generic containers" has
    been discouraged and the "language-agnostic" SOAPArray recommended. I have searched
    this newgsroup and the Web for examples of how to use a SOAPArray in a Web service
    EJB to receive parameters and return results but found none.
    Will someone refer me to an example or give an overview of how a Java Web service
    EJB running in WebLogic 6.1 would use SOAPArray to get parameter values and return
    results?
    Also, I would like confirmation that it is best to use SOAPArray to exchange data
    with a Web service to achieve the goal of a service accessible by any language.
    Thank you.

    Replies in-line:
    How are the structures, e.g. gltrans-workType, defined in the Web service?The structure is made up of nested Java Beans, but this does not mean that the
    client for your web service has to be written in Java. The WSDL that I sent contains
    everything that a .NET-based (or Perl-based, or Python-based, or VB-based, or
    C++ based) Web Service Stack needs to correctly create all the data types in the
    web services' signature! That's the beauty of XML Schema! It's programming language
    independent :-)
    In
    other words, what definition in Java resulted in the WSDL statements?The WSDL wasn't produced by WLS 6.1, but it (WLS 6.1) can consume it.
    What is the signature of method submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean() in the
    Web service?public void submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean(GlTransactionsCpyType glTransactionsCpyType)
    GlTransactionsCpyType is the outer-most Java Bean. WLS 6.1 does not generate
    Java Beans for you, but it will use ones that you defined. See the Java Bean tutorial
    on the Javasoft sitem for details on how to create a Java Bean.
    Was the WSDL generated using the WL tools for creating a Web service?No.
    Conclusion:
    You asked for someone to provide you with an example of how to use SOAP array
    in a WSDL, which is what the attached file contained :-) What you want to do now
    is find a tool that can generate Java Bean code from this WSDL (Apache Axis has
    a wsdl2java tool that should work), or create the Java Beans yourself. Afterwards,
    create a WLS 6.1 Web Service a expose it for a Perl or .NET client.

  • Opendocument date parameters

    I'm trying to work with the opendocument command passing arguments for date parameters. I am having problems passing dates. 
    I've tried:
    lsSDateRangeTo=2008-12-01
    lsSDateRangeTo=12/1/2008
    and a fair few others.  Any ideas on the required format?
    I'm using XIR2.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Yes it is possible to use function calls in the url, if your source document is a Web Intelligence it will work fine.
    syntax would be
    "...&lsSDate%20Range%20From="+DateFormat([From Date],"YYYYMMDD")+"...
    The problem might not be the date format, but simply the fact that there are spaces in the prompt text. I don't think XI r2 supports this. To put white space you have to include
    %20
    or use the URLEncode function.

  • How can I reference records outside the two date parameters?

    Hi all,
    I have a query that fetches records based on the two date parameters defined (Startdate and Enddate).
    If the Startdate is 2014-12-01 and the Enddate is 2014-12-12, I want to pull records outside these two date parameters, that is      2014-09-01 and 2014-11-30.
    I want to add up the records from  2014-09-01 and 2014-11-30 and include them in one of the columns in my report.
    I tried using this query:
     SUM(CASE WHEN FilteredIncident.Statuscodename IN ('QUEUED', 'ASSIGNED') AND (EnteredOn >= '2014-09-01' AND EnteredOn<= @StartDate) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS OpenRecords
    Please help with any ideas..thanks

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you probably need to read and download the PDF for: 
    https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
    There is no such crap as a “status_code_name” in RDBMS. It has to be a “<something in particular>_status”; think about how silly that data element name is! Want to keep going and have a “status_code_name_value_id”? LOL! 
    The name “Filtered_Incident” is also wrong. Tables are sets, so unless you have only one element in this set, the table name should be a plural or (better) collective name. But a better question is why  did you split out “Filtered_Incidents” from “Incidents”?
    Would you also split “Male_Personnel” and “Male_Personnel” from “Personnel”? 
    Get a book on data modeling and learn some basics. 
    >> I have a query that fetches records [sic: rows are nor records] based on the two date parameters defined (report_start_date and report_end_date). If the report_start_date is 2014-12-01 and the report_end_date is 2014-12-12, I want to pull records [sic]

    Having no DDL and no sample data makes this hard. Does your boss make you program without any documentation, DDL, etc? This spec is vague; you say to do a total, but show a count, etc. 
    One of the many nice things about DATE data types is that the BETWEEN predicate works with them, so you can quite writing 1960's BASIC predicates with primitive logic operators. 
    Here is a guess: 
    SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN incident_date BETWEEN '2014-09-01' 
               AND @report_start_date THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
           AS open_record_cnt 
      FROM Incidents
     WHERE incident_status IN ('QUEUED', 'ASSIGNED')
        AND incident_date <= @report_end_date;

    Do i need to do any kind of conversion in the cursor where clause or when i am passing the parameter in open statement.

    You might consider whether you really need an explicit cursor though. An implicit cursor is easier to code and performs better.

  • How to create a date range in Web Application Designer

    I am using 3.1 version of Web App Designer.  I need to create a report with date ranges.  I can get one date to work but not two (I need a start date and end Date).  My Query has 0CALMONTH with a variable for Interval.  When I select it as a dropdown (??) in Web App Designer, I only get one date prompt in web app designer.

  • Dates coming from web service

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to consume in VC a CAF Application Service exposed as a Web Service. I'm able to retrieve what I want but I have a problem with dates format.
    The web service returns dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS
    When I test my data service in VC it works fine. When I run my iview, VC swap the month and the day and compute the new date...
    It's not just a problem of formatting with DVAL and DSTR because the date is already computed.
    Example:
    Date returned from web service: 2007-09-21T00:00:01
    Date returned from test data service in VC: 21.09.2007
    Date returned at runtime: 09.09.2008
    VC understand 21.09.2007 not like DD.MM.YYYY but like MM.DD.YYYY so 21.09.2007 becomes 09.09.2008
    I also tried to check on the server Regional and Language option but it doesn't come from there.
    Have you ever faced this problem?
    Thx

    Hi,
    It is a Web Service generated by NWDS (to expose my CAF Application Service)and deployed on the server.
    The url si like http://<hostname>:<port>/mywebservice/Config1?wsdl
    The Web Service runs correctly.
    When I call a method of my web service to retrieve a list of objects (CAF Entity Services) and their attributes, it returns attributes of type String and Dates of type 'java.util.GregorianCalendar'.
    It seems that VC doesn't correctly understand this type of Date at runtime

  • Deliver data to external web service possible in OBIEE 11g?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking into the possibility of "pushing" data from OBIEE and out to an external web service, e.g. through executing a scheduled report that instead of delivering the result on screen, it would call an external web service that would consume the generated data for storage in an external system.
    Does anyone know if this is possible to implement in OBIEE 11g? (So far, all I've found is how to display data in OBIEE through consumation of web service(s), but I'd like to "push out" data to a web service from OBIEE).
    Regards,
    -Haakon-

    Action Links 11g - Invoke webservice you can try out..... I never tried... Just sharing my views.

  • Date Parameters in Report

    Hello,
    I am using the Where property of an Open Report for date parameters.  There are reason i can not use the query criteria process.
    Can I do this with more than one parameter?
    Private Sub EligibilityReportPreview_Click()DoCmd.OpenReport "EligibilityRpt2",acViewPreview,,"effective_date >= LowEffectiveDate And effective_date <= HighEffectiveDate"End Sub
    How do add another parameter like
    DoCmd.OpenReport "EligibilityRpt2", acViewPreview, , "effective_date >= LowEffectiveDate And effective_date <= HighEffectiveDate"
    Or "termination_date >= LowTerminationDate And termination_date <= HighTerminationDate"
    Gee

    If all names referred to are fields in the record source of the report, you can use
    DoCmd.OpenReport "EligibilityRpt2", acViewPreview, , "effective_date >= LowEffectiveDate And effective_date <= HighEffectiveDate Or termination_date >= LowTerminationDate And termination_date <= HighTerminationDate"

  • How to show only date in BO webi 3.1 text box

    how to show only date in BO webi 3.1 text box for e.g:-
    01/01/2005  (no time only date)

    hi,
    just check by which format your date is coming
    just create a one variable and check =UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)")
    if your output is in format of("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a")
    then some format we have to write in todate syntax
    then your final formula for date would be
    =FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)");"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/mm/yyyy")

  • How to read Data of a Webi Report

    Hello Friends,
    I have a task where I need to read data of a Webi Report, how can it be done?
    Basically I have a trigger report which runs every day and get the latest RACN number from the database. I am trying to get that RACN number from trigger report using BOBJ SDK.
    I really appreciate your suggestions on this.
    Regards,
    Rakhy. 

    Hi Rakhy,
    Is the RACN Number a column or dimension in your webi report? Is it a universe object(webi based on universe)
    Also what version of BusinessObjects you are using?
    If you are using XI 3.1 and you need to retrieve objects from a webi report it can be done using the ReportEngine SDKs.
    Please refer to the developers guide and API referrence guide available at
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_dg_12_en.zip
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_apiRef_12_en.zip
    Also refer to the document at
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-38618 for better understanding the workflow.
    An example snippet of how to retrieve an object is below
    =========================================
    DocumentInstance wiDoc = widocRepEngine.openDocument(oInfoObject.getID());
    ReportDictionary reportDictionary=wiDoc.getDictionary();
    for(int a=0;a<reportDictionary.getChildCount() ;a++)
    String name=reportDictionary.getChildAt(a).getName();
    out.println(name);
    =========================================
