How to fill a prompt in webi with current date?

A webi report is being generated on BEx Query.
IN BEx query variables are defined for some date fields to prefill them with current date.
Foe ex. there is license start date. For this field variable is defined so that in variable screen License start date is automatically filled with greater than or equal to current date(which is system date). WHich is a mandatory variable.
On BO side, a webi report is being developed on a Universe (based on this BEx query).
When the webi report is run, the license start date(mandatory variable in BEx) is automatically prompted, but date is not getting prefiiled with current date.
How to prefill this prompt with current date?
the prompt should be like
LIcense start date >= <current date>

Hi,
Yes, it isn't possible to reference anything like 'Current Date' in the universe (like you would with a SQL data source).
The solution I have seen recently goes like this, I don't know the exact details (so I might have some terminology wrong), but someone with ABAP skills should get what I mean.
Assuming you want to filter on 0CALDAY.
In ABAP, create a customer EXIT that calculates the current date as a number (so today might be 40651). Do the same for 0CALDAY.
In the BEx create a formula variable that references each of those, then a Formula Key Figure (I forget the exact name of them) that's just the current day number minus the 0CALDAY number. This gives you the 'age' of that row of data.
Your Webi report can then have a built in filter (or prompt with a default value) of, say Age <= 30. The report can be scheduled and will always run with the last 30 day's data.
We actually did the customer exists to show the 'age' in months.
Sorry I can't explain it any better, but it's working great for us.
Hope that helps.

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).

How to get date prompts from one date column

i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanks

you can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

Date prompt to displayed in header&Format date format in header MM/DD/YYYY

we have a date prompt. Based on the date selection on prompt, it has to be appeared on the Report header. Actually RELEASED_DATE is timestamp format. we need to format this to dispaly only MM/DD/YYYY format in Report header section.
Report Name : <?$RELEASED_DATE?>
We are displaying the same RELEASED_DATE with timestamp in Report section
<?param@begin:CRSU_RELEASED_DATE?>

can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.

Passing data from one screen to another(web-dynpro) in SRM sourcing cockpit

HI Experts,
i am facing problem in passing data from one web-dynpro screen and assigning the data it to another web-dynpro screen.
my requirement is that when ever user selects a contract in PROPOSE SOURCES OF SUPPLY screen popup and press only assign only button, the data of the contract should be copied to the shopping cart.
i have already used the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, but unfortunately it was not working.
so i tried to use the context, element and other web-dynpro fields to pass the data, i am able to pass the data from the popup to the second screen and able to assign it.
but when ever i deselect the shoppping cart which has been assigned with the data of the popup and select another shopping cart the data of the above shopping cart is cgetting changed.
i am unable to figure out the exact reason why this is happeing.i have written code in the ASSIGN ONLY button method to fetch the popup data and in the WDONMODIFYVIEW method of the second screen to assign the popup data to the shopping cart.
i have tried to bind the elements using the BIND_TABLE, BIND_STRUCTURE, BIND_ELEMENT, BIND_ELEMENTS methods, but nothing is working.
can anyone suggest me where i am making mistake and try to solve the issue.
Thanks

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 Prompt through not resolved in webi on OLAP Universe

Hi,
I am using BO XI 3.1 with latest fix pack.
I have created a OLAP universe based on SSAS 2005 Multicube for reporting using WebI
I have Date field in my SSAS cube and i created a universe based on that cube , but my Date field changed to Character in the Universe Layer.
My requirement is that i need to create a a prompt over that field in the webi report using a CALENDAR to enter the value instead of entering the value manually.
I changed the type of field for the date field from CHARACTER to DATE in the OLAP Universe level and exported it in order to see the calendar prompt ( as the calendar component is visible for the data type of DATE) .
This conversion don't seems to work for me due to the conversion from Char to Date even if i have the data for particular date i cannot see the records but if manually type the value for that same date without converting the Date format to type Date.
I also tried the MDX stuff and created :
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="format"@Prompt('Enter Date ','A',,,{1/1/2009})"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
but problem is still the same .
So can you suggest about unusual behavior of the Universe Layer.
Kindly suggest .
Regards,
Vibhav

Hi,
First I think you have to create a support ticket because normally the object in the universe must be generated with data data type nad it is not the case.
We are awere of some limitations with data types.
Secondly, if you want to have users entering date you have to specify date in the prompt data type like this:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Enter Date ','D',,mono,free)"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

Searching Web Apps with Data Source fields containing multiple values

I have a Web App with a field allowing multiple values to be entered similar to the checkbox list. I need to restrict allowed values to a large, finite list of values currently stored in another Web App as the data source. I can't apply the Data Source field type as that only allows single value selection. I also need to be able to use the Web App Search form to search for items containing 1 OR more values in this field (the search functionality of a checklist field type). Here's what I've tried for field types:
Text (string) or Text (multiline) field type - By saving a list of comma separated values (the same way that checkbox list outputs) to a text input or textarea, the search logic only searches for exact string (including commas) and doesn't parse the individual values.
List (checkbox list) field type - This allows me to search multiple values using OR logic, but the web app will only store values that have been entered as options in the actual web app field setup. I tried using a checkbox list with minimal or empty options hoping that whatever values I sent over in a comma separated string value would still get stored, but because the values came from my Web App data source and not the list of options stored with the field, they were not saved.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
My other question is about how I might use a similar multi-value field as described above but return search results containing items with ALL selected values for that field (AND logic).
Can anyone enlighten me to the inner workings of BC web app search logic?

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

Scheduling WebI reports in BusinessObjects 4.0 date prompts

will SAp Business Objects 4.0 include some kind of feature to allow people to schedule webi reports in an easier way if the report conatins date prompts? For example if my report has 2 dates start date and end date prompts, it's logical if I want to schedule it to be refreshed every month I don't want to keep it scheduling with the same start date and end date for ever. I want them to change depending on the month.
I know there are some things that can be done at universe level, but what if a user doesn't have rights to modify the universe? It would be more useful to have some option in the schedule window to make the values change depending on some basic conditions.
Or at least if profiles settings could help to do that by selecting in the list objects instead of fixed values from the list, it could help too.

Hi,
This looks like to be a request for future product enhancements.
You need to log an Enhancement Request via Idea Place for the feature/functionality you would like to see in BI4.0. Please follow steps in the attached SAP note [1515837 - How To: Enhancement Request Process - Idea Place |https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3030303135313538333726].

WebI displays incorrect dates when sourced from SAP

We have several issues, all tied to displaying dates from a BEx Query, through the universe, into WebI.
Scenario One: Dates that have a datatype of date will parse in the universe, but will give driver not capable when used in WebI. Could this be tied to an invalid date?
Scenario Two: Dates set with date datatype parse correctly and can be queried in WebI, but return incorrect results. If queried WITHOUT a measure, date appears as one day less than actual date (ex. SAP date = Apr 28, 2009 but universe object set with date datatype shows April 27, 2009. When a measure is added, the same date displays as Sept 27, 1976.
I suspect that we need to modify the data access files in order to accurately convert SAP dates (which by default come into the universe as Character) to a date datatype. If this is the case, are there sample sapen.prm and sap.sbo files to ensure appropriate settings?
Does anyone have additional thoughts on what could be causing this issue? Are there sample sapen.prm and sap.sbo files anyone would be willing to share?
Thanks!

Hi Robin,
If you are using BOE XI 3.1. Then make sure that you apply fixpack 1.4 on it because the issue you are Describing is Fixed in this fix pack.
Here is the Description of that Particular issue In Release Notes of Fix pack 1.4
      ADAPT01181134
      Description:
      When users create a Web Intelligence document with the universe which is built based on SAP data, it fails to display correct values for some Date objects. This problem occurs when users have a timezone of 'GMT-x hours' on the machine where BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed.
      I hope this would solve your problem.
Thanks,

Analysis Office vs Webi report ---Bex query Data mismatch

I have one Bex query.
I insterted the query in Analysis office for Microsoft edition, and its pulling 985 records, but when i inserted the bex query in Webi report its pulling only 27 records. Any body faced similar problem, explain the solution..?
Using BICS connction for webi report development.
Environment: BI 4.1 SP5
Anlaysis office version : 1.4 SP10

Hi Ingo,
If we make it database delegated then the Webi query returns no results. (Blank results). Moreover there is no exception aggregation
We have tried the following and getting the result correctly,
In the Bex Query We had a Time variable which was based on SAP exit. We removed the SAP exit variable from Bex Query and restricted the period for atime range.
Then created a Prompt in Webi report for the time
The result is matching.
But still failed to undrstand this because other queries which have SAP exit variables works fine.
Still working around for a convincing solution for this.. Will let you know
Thanks and Regards

Percentage based on the Date and Dimension - WEBI

Hello,
I have to calculate percentage based on the Dates and a Dimension.
I have BEX Query as source and reporting is done on BOXI - WEBI
Here is the table structure in the report.
List# , Process01, Process02.
List# is unique and Process01-Has 4 operations, Process02 has 3 operations (and these Operations can change from 3 to 7 or 2).
Operations will have a 'Date' only when it is completed.
and when all the operations in a 'Process' have 'Date' then i need to get the 'Latest Date'. If few of the operations are not confirmed, then i need to get the percentage like when 2 of 4 operations have date it will be 50% and when no operation is confirmed then 0% and so on .
Example Cube data:
List#,ProcessCategory,Operation,Date
100,Process01,456,11/11/2010.
100,Process01,457,11/12/2010.
100,Process01,489,
100,Process01,490,
100,Process02,890,11/13/2010.
100,Process02,891,11/14/2010.
100,Proceess02,892,11/15/2010
Result:
List#, Process01, Process02
100,50%,11/15/2010.
Please help me in this, i tryed different logics but it is giving ERROR at percentage.
Your help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I applied this:
If([Process Category] InList("Process01") And IsNull([Date]);[Percentage];Max(Date)))
[Percentage] = (Count([Date])/Count([Operation]))*100.
but, this is not becoming true - even when Operation has one Date
Showing result as:
List#,Process01,Process02
100, 11/12/2010, 11/15/2010
But result should be
100,50%,11/15/2010
Can anyone help me achieve the right result!
Thanks in advance.
