Date Prompt Format issue in OBIEE

Hi,
I am using a Date column in a Dashboard prompt. When i select a date in Calendar its showing up the Date in a correct format *'D/M/YYYY'*. But as soon as i click on GO button the format changes to *'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'*.
This format is passed to report and report throw an error *'A date value was expected (received "2010-01-26 00:00:00")'*.
I searched metalink and blogs and got a patch to resolve this issue. But still after running that patch i am getting the same error. None of the workarounds given are working.
Please respond if you have any solution for this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi,
What is the data format for the colum, you are comparing with the dashboard prompt, in the Answers request? Specify it to custom and use [FMT:dateShort] for Custom Date Format.
Thanks

OBIEE date prompt format yyyy-mm-dd

Dear All,
We did migration from obi 10g to 11g (version 11.1.1.7.0) .
I have troubles with conversion of date prompt:
My date format is dd.MM.yyyy, but when I pass date prompt into sql it is in format YYYY-MM-DD.
How can I change that my date prompt will always stay in format dd.mm.yyyy?

Hi,
There are couple of ways we can do the date format.
Please refer my blog.I have provided step by step implementation with screenshots.
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2013/06/dateformat-converting-using-evaluate.html
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2013/06/date-format-change.html
1. Using evaluate function we can modify the format.
ex:
USING EVALUATE
cast(Evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)',"Inventory"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_DAY_D_Inv_Unallocated_Run_Month"."CALENDAR_DATE",'YYYYMon') as varchar(10))
or,
cast(Evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)',<<COLUMN HERE>>,'YYYY-Mon') as varchar(10))
2. Open your report then click column properties then select Data format then select custom then here you can put which format you want.
Hope this help's

Change Webi Date Prompt Format

Hi
In BEx, I've created a variable on a date object. Processing is manual/default. Single value. Optional. And ready for input.
In the Universe Designer, I have changed the "Where" code on the filter to be a date format with a free selection - as below.
<FILTER KEY="[!V000006]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Valid Date From','D',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
When I refresh the document in Webi, when entering a date for the prompt, the format is M/d/yyyy.
I would like to change this to dd.MM.yyyy - as this is what the users are used to when running queries in web templates.
Where do I set the format for the Date prompt?
We are on BO XI3.1 and SAP BW 7.0 on a DB2 database.
Thanks in advance
Anton

Hi
It does. But this can be a hassle when having to choose a date quite far in the past. It is far more convenient to simply manually input a date.

Date time formatting issues!!!!

guys,
I am trying to format date and time in the same variable.
heres my code...
<cfset dtimes = LSDateFormat(now(),'YYYY-MM-DD
h:mm:ss')>
the problem is, that it gives me the year month and day
correctly.... the hour correctly, but where the minute is supposed
to go, it gives me the month again (which makes sense cuz obviously
its the same characters)... and then seconds are ok too. how do i
fix it so it gives me the correct minutes? Thanks in advance!!!!
JE

A limitation of CF functions there is not a single date &
time format
function you have to combine the two.
<cfset dtimes = LSDateFormat(now(),'YYYY-MM-DD') & ' '
LSTimeFormat(now(),'h:mm:ss')>

Data level Security issue in obiee 11g

Hi,
We are trying to implement data level security, let me explain the issue
The requirement is, we have 7 schools and each school has one principle , there will be a Superdintent who has 3 schools under him. so now when each principle logs in to dashboard we have a prompt for school i.e Name of school in that prompt he should see only his school and even the data of that school only which are assigned to him, now when Superdintent logs in he should see all 3 schools in the prompt and data. I have gone through this link (http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-row-level-security/) but could not achieve.
We are able to achieve by writing SQL in BMM layer ( LTS Table) so where ever the table is used in dashboards the security is being applied and we are able to see what we want. We want to achieve this by application role, But when we are creating session variables and applying on Application Role its not working. We want to achieve this by using Application role because suppose in other dashboards when the table is not used or pulled in, it will not work.But if we do it using application role its applies to all dashboards and data is resticted. so that when principle or Superdintent logs in automatically its restricts the data.
Below is the SQL which we used in BMM LTS, its working fine. But when the same SQL is applied in Application Role it's not working.
SQL used in session variable -
select 'SCHOOL_CD1', school_cd1 from w_staff_d where empl_id ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
and job_desc1 = 'Principal High School - KPI'
Any suggestions please ??
Thanks,
VRP

Hi,
I pasted the log view below by applying SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=2, DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1;, ran this report by applying SQL in Session variable. Let me know if you want anything -

CRS 2008 Web Services: Date parameter format issue

Hi All,
I have CRS 2008 installations (Dev environment and TEST environment) on two machine (both are on the build 12.1.0.882). I have a web application that runs crystal reports deployed to these servers using web services. On the DEV Server , the report works fine when the reports input parameters are formatted to mm/dd/yyyy format. But TEST server (which is a new installation) does not accept a date parameter value for this report in this format and returns a "could not set date parameter" error. The report runs fine if I pass the parameter in yyyy/dd/dd format from the web-application.
I compared the regional language settings and Business Objects registry entries on both these machines, CMC settings, and they all seem to match. Am I missing something in the configuration or environment setup that is causing this issue? Appreciate any hints on solving this issue. Thanks so much.
Regards
Ajith

Hi Siva,
may i know how to do it?
as i did try to code in the begining by using String for my startDate and endDate. and it is able to consume, but currently if i change the startDate and endDate to Date. it is still able to consume when i change the date from "2008-01-30T10:00:50.342Z" to just "2008-01-30". but when i try to use adobe interactive form. the startDate and endDate i am using the Date/Time Field Type. and the Data Format is as Date. so it will just return "2008-01-30" only.
the part where i have error is when i try to do a parameter mapping from the interactive form to the web service. it is unable to map as they keep prompting that cannot map a Date to a Time Stamp.
that is why i stuck at this part.. so i try to find out how to overcome this errors now..
Regards

Export to PDF, Excel, Excel (Data Only) formatting issues

Hi Community
I have a report that consists of 5 subreports. Out of the 5 subreports, 3 of them have a similar format whereas the other 2 are different.
Iu2019m currently facing an issue whereby the exports to excel works fine, but excel (data only) has some alignment issues(i.e. the data appears below the correct columns). However, when the report is tweaked to make export to excel (data only) appear correctly, the export to excel had its data shifted out of alignment. There is no impact to pdf exporting at the moment.
Are there any people who are facing similar issues? Is there any resolution or workaround? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
FYI, the version of crystal reports is Crystal reports is Crystal reports 2008 and we are using the crystal report viewer interface to export into excel and pdf formats. The excel version is 2007.
Regards

DW, i've also run into issues with multiple sub reports. I resolved it by putting each sub report into it's own section, and then suppressing the sub report (Note, if ur trying to export subreport data to excel, I don't think its going to work. You'd need to create shared variables and then bring those sub report shared variables into your main report).
Once you bring your shared variables into the main report, suppress your sub reports, and then export to excel, you're still left with a dataset that has missing rows. This is ok. You can solve it easily within the excel file itself by sorting the data on a unique ID like Account #. This removes the extra rows.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

I tried with advanced table merging functionality, i couldn't get this type of display.
Pointers are appreciated.
(Since we are doing this application for Mobile devices we need to get this kind of display)
Thanks.

Thanks Ranjit,
We build the table dynamically using rows and columns with the required spans.
So that we could achieve the same display format.
Thanks.

Date TO_CHAR Formatting Issues

Hi Team,
I'm a newbie and this is my first post here so please bear with me. I'm having an issue with converting a date column to string using the TO_CHAR function. See below for a few examples:
ORACLE_DATE;     DATE_CHAR;     DUMP(ORACLE_DATE);
31-DEC-02;     0000-00-00 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 100,100,1,0,1,1,1;
16-JAN-97;     1197-01-16 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 111,197,1,16,1,1,1;
01-DEC-06;     0006-12-01 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 100,106,12,1,1,1,1;
01-JUL-66;     1966-07-01 22:52:44;     Typ=12 Len=7: 119,166,7,1,23,53,45;
Is there any way I can determine what the actual date recorded is from the data provided?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Here's what I understand about the data:
1. All dates should start past the year 1950. For this analysis I picked everything below year 1900 to start out with the low hanging fruit.
2. The date issue spreads across 30 total fields, 14 tables, with a total of 3,358 records of interest.
Please see below for a further data snippet: (thanks for the code update)

Do you think the issue could lie in the import process, or do you think it's a better bet that the data is corrupt?
Thanks

Report format issue in obiee 11g send through Agent

I have scheduled the agent to send the report to IBM Lotus notes. I need to send the report to users in text format and not an attachement.
The report not comming as it is,the column width is getting srinked.I noticed CSS not applying in Lotus notes.

Try by setting view properties like Table or Pivot table if this is not working then attach the report to a page and set the section properties and see how it works.
If this is not working then Notes might have trimming it ;)

Planning Data from formatting issue with Smart view in 11.1.2

Hi,
We are facing one strange issue in Smart view.
We have created a dataform in Planning as follows:
Columns:
FY10 FY10 FY10
Budget Budget Budget
Jan Feb Mar
But when we open this in Smart view, we are getting the columns as follows:
FY10
Budget
Jan Feb Mar
i.e. year and scenario are spreading across months instead coming at each column level.
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2, Smart View 11.1.2 and Office 2003.
Please help us.
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

Are you saying you want the dimension members FY10 and Budget to be repeated in each column?
I think that can be done for Ad-Hoc Analysis mode, but not where you have opened up a Planning form.
Cheers
