Date Prompt using Calendar view

Hi,
My requirement is to filter data for a date column using Prompt. I want to show Prompt as a calendar for the date column. Data type for that column is "Timestamp" in Physical Layer and I changed it into "Date" data type in BMM layer.
I have created a prompt and after selecting a date from the calendar, it throwed the following error
"A date value was expected (received "2010-09-01 00:00:00")."
To have a try, I used following case statement in prompt Column:
case when 1=0 then "Booking Date Calendar"."Calendar Date" else TIMESTAMP '2009-01-01 00:00:00' END
Its taking "01/01/2009 12:00:00 AM" after selecting date from this modified prompt,but the data i have in date column is "1/1/2009".
I tried multiple ways so that i can see results, but i am not able to pass the correct value to the report from prompt.
Can you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Phani.

Date prompt using repository variables adds "DATETIME" literal to narrative

We are using repostiory variables to set initial date prompt filter values for our report. When we do that we get the "DATETIME" literal string show up on our report as in TIMESTAMP '2011-08-18 00:00:00&#39 (I am posting the exact literals from the report.
Is there any way to fix this so "TIMESTAMP" does not show?
by the way the following procedure was followed in trying to create this narrative.
http://bischool.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/set-yesterday-or-some-date-value-as-default-in-obiee-dashboard-prompt/
We are doing this in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

Double click on the connection pool and got to General tab.
In the excute on the connect field add the following Script.
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YYYY'.
Thant will solve the problem of time stamp.
I tried this in my recent project and it works. Let me know if you have any issues
Thanks
If it is the only issue coming up in the narrative view then follow Ashish method.
If the date problem persists for prompts and everywhere in the answers follow my method

To display Date prompts in narrative view

Hi,
I'm new to Obiee.I have created 'From Date' prompt (greater than or equal to ) and 'To date'(less than or equal to) prompts ,I was able to display the reports correctly ,What i need is to display the chosen dates in title of the report.How can i achieve this using Answers? (i.e)In title i need to display 'Pending Amount Between FromDate to ToDate '
Thanks in advance,
Princy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.I was able to complete major part of my need.But the last thing i need is,
Using presentation variables i was able to display the dates correctly in Table View,but i'm able to display only the 'From Date' in my narrative view.I need to display the 'To Date' also in my narrative view.I had applied two filters (i.e;greater than or equal to presentation variable and less than or equal to presentation variable)in column 'Date' .
Since i'm using a single column 'Date' for prompts i dont know how to give the condition in narrative view to show the 'To Date' in narrative view which the user chooses from prompts.

Error entering data in a data form using Smart View

One of my user is facing an issue while entering data in a data form through Excel, if she uses the same data form in workspace she is able to enter data. She is facing the issue while entering in a specific column, for all other columns she is able to enter data in the data form. It is only one column for which she is facing issue while using smart view/excel and not workspace, as in workspace she is able to enter data.
Thanks,

Hi
Check they have the "Data Form Write Back from Excel" role in Shared Services.

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

Date Prompt using Calendar view

'In Between' Date Prompt to set Session Variables???

Hi
Im very new to OBIEE and was hoping someone could help me. I have a date prompt using the 'in between' operator based on a date column.
I am trying to set up a table in the Physical layer of the RPD using a stored proc (EXEC sp_name). The stored proc takes 2 input paramaters - a start data and an end date. These dates i would like to come from the in between prompt. I have set up the physical table structure to receive the results of the request.
I looked at setting a session variable but it is asking me to insert sql to set the value and i dont want to hit the database outside of the stored proc. Also, even if i have session variables i cant see how to set them to the values in the prompt when using the 'In Between' operator.
Im really very confused and i have been searching the net and the documentation for any clue.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

In between operator doesn't support presentation variable..
so break this into is into two prompts...and use equal to operator, then you can use them as request variables which will in turn override your session variables.
in the report use operator between and use these variables in the filter..

Data Forms in Smart View - Add Members

We have data forms with Add Member functionality. When opening that data form using Smart View it puts red border around top member but then instead of allowing user to select a member it lists all of them in the rows. A good example is ICP data form where user can select partner to report balance. The data form online allows selection of individual partners but when same data form opened in Smart View it lists all 1,000+ ICP True entities.
Is syntax different when data form to be used with Smart View?
We have V11.1.1.3.

You have to suppress no data/zeros in SmartView and refresh the form to see the rows collapsed. I had created an enhancement request for this and it is currently under review by development. I would suggest you do the same if you'd like to see this fixed.
The bug is listed as 13878488 - SUPPRESS ROWS IS NOT ENABLED WHEN OPENING FORM IN SMARTVIEW

Queries with date functions using PreparedStatement for multiple DB

I am developing application that uses DB independant queries. I am using preparedstatement to process the queries. I need to use date functions for query selection criteria.
for eg.
selecting the list of employees who had joined in the last 15 days
selecting list of employees who had joined between two dates etc.
where Date Joined field is a Timestamp value. To extract date no DB specific function can be used.
If I use setMonth, setYear etc.. to set params in the pstmt the query becomes complex in the above case. Can any one throw some light on how to do the above in preparedstatement or any other better alternative.
Tx a lot

Hi,
I did not mean that way. I presume that there is a timestamp value (may be a date too) column in the table. Then based upon your requirement (say before 15 days) pass the value as date (or time stamp) in the query as a parameter.
String qry = "select * from myTable where join_date <= ?";
stmt.setDate(1,myDate); // this is where you will have to manipulate the value to suit your DB timestamp or date value; you will have compatibility issues with util.Date and sql.Date so use Calendar class to satisfy.Feel free to mail me if you need further clarifications to [email protected]

Creating a Calendar View using alternative date fields

I have a Sharepoint 2007 calendar list that includes the standard Start and End Date fields. I also have "Suggested Start Date" and "Suggested End Date" fields that are utilized by users to recommend the Start and End Dates for
the event.
I can create a Calendar view that displays the events according to the Start and End dates.
I cannot create a Calendar view that displays the events according to the Suggested Start and Suggested End date fields.
In practice, all items are not displayed on this second calendar view that should be displayed even though you can choose these fields as Time Interval values when establishing the calendar.
Is there a way to create a Calendar View that will use date fields other than the default Start and End date fields?
Thanks,
Chris Mang>> JDA Software Group, Inc.

Hello,
It seems problem with time value. Have you included time value in custom datatime column wile creating? What happens when you select "date only" from column settings?
You can also try below suggestion to include "IncludeTimeValue" parameter in CAMl query by designer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18362853/how-do-i-filter-by-today-and-time-in-sharepoint-list-view
OR else create two more calculated column and save date only in those columns then filter by them.
Hope it could help

Can I use Calendar "Groups" or views as data sources in PDA Sync?

From what I can see, you can only use calendars that you are subscibed to and not calendar groups/views that you have created.

As I understand it you can choose to view them individually or combined.
When I bought my iPhone and mobileMe I was told to sync to exchange account first as doing it after may delete my other accounts data.

Using 'Calendar' control type in prompt - not available

Hi All,
I am trying to setup a simple from and to date prompt that can be used in my reports to set the to and from date range for filtering the fact data that is returned. Following a number of blogs and articles on this it seems pretty straightforward. I have setup two static presentation variables on the rpd (startdate and enddate respectively) and I have started to create the prompt in answers that will be used by a number of different reports.
My issue is that, all the articles I have seen indicate the use of the 'Calendar' control type when setting up the prompt. I however only have the following control type options for the prompt *(Edit Box, Drop Down List, Multi-Select)*. I do not see Calendar. Does this need to be initialized in any way to make it available .. ie move the calendar.js file somewhere so I can use the calendar control?
example instructions: http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
Thanks,
K

Figured it out. The fields I was using in the prompts were character fields representing dates 'YYYY-MM-DD'. In order for the Calendar control option to become visible the fields selected as part of the prompts need to be of date or timestamp data type.
Thanks,
K
