Date format based on locale

Hi Gurus,
I am currently making changes to some of our existing forms so that the dates and quantities will format properly based on the locale. I am passing in the local to the form and using this to set the format. Everything works fine except for the US dates, which is getting formatted as Jan 21, 2015 instead of 01/21/2015. Because of space constraints I need to use the "shortened" version. I currently have the field set as type Date/Time and nothing listed under Patterns. I tried using date.short{} in the pattern field, but ended up with 01/21/15. Date.medium{} and date.default{} gave me the Jan 21, 2015. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the full 4 digit year?
Thanks!
Julie

Hello Julie
You can create the following pattern
date(en_US) {MM/DD/YYYY}
A default date value must conform to the short format for the locale specified for the date field. However, by default, Designer displays the default value in the medium locale format at both design time and run time.
For example, consider a form with a Date/Time Field set to use the German (Germany) locale. You enter the default value for a date in the short format DD.MM.YY. After you change the focus to another field, the value specified in the field on the page is displayed in the medium format DD.MM.YYYY. The formatted value also appears in the medium format if you view the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Note: At run time, by default, form fillers must edit the value of date/time fields using the short format for the locale specified for the field. If you specify an Edit Pattern on the Edit tab in the Patterns dialog box (Field tab > Patterns), that pattern overrides the short format, and users must enter data that conforms to the Edit Pattern.

DateFormat based on Locale

Hi,
I have a strange requirement and not sure if it is possible.
I need the date format based on Locale.
Eg: If it is US I need the string "MM/dd/yyyy" as an output and I am not expecting "09/12/2007". I need the string MM/dd/yyyy as an output .
Is there any method I can use?
Thanks

System.out.println("The SHORT format is **" + ((SimpleDateFormat)java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance(java.text.DateFormat.SHORT, l)).toLocalizedPattern());
System.out.println("The MEDIUM format is **" + ((SimpleDateFormat)java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance(java.text.DateFormat.MEDIUM, l)).toLocalizedPattern());
System.out.println("The FULL format is **" + ((SimpleDateFormat)java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance(java.text.DateFormat.FULL, l)).toLocalizedPattern());Gives:
The SHORT format is **M/d/yy
The MEDIUM format is **MMM d, yyyy
The FULL format is **EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy
I guess you should use MEDIUM instead of SHORT

Forms Data-Block based on stored procedures - REF CURSOR feature NOT FUNCTIONING

This topic is related to another topic in this forum titled "FORMS HOW TO SET QUERY SOURCE ARGUMENTS??" I posted my message there as well. I am posting as a NEW TOPIC so that it catches the attention of Oracle Support.
I built a data form based on a stored procedure and REF CURSOR IN OUT parameter.
My procedure takes a IN parameter to fill in the criteria for the OPEN <cursor_variable> select ... where ... statement.
In the Value setting of the Query source Arguments , I set the VALUE to ":BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME" at design time to supply the input value to the procedure. this works to the extent of making available the form item value to the stored procedure parameter. I verified this by doing an insert into some debug table , of the incoming parameter value inside my stored procedure.
The cursor gets opened properly into the REF cursor variable. I verified this by fetching a record into a local variable and inserting the value into a debug table again in the stored procedure.
(I took care to close and re-open the REF cursor variable again - so that the front-end can continue to fetch it from the first record. )
***** PROBLEM **************
But the front end forms runtime is giving me a FRM-40301 - query returned no records even though the REF cursor is returned properly opened.
Did anybody else face the same problem ??
Please post what you found.
Thanks,
Shankaran

This topic is discussed at length in another thread "How Set Value For Query DataSource Arguments?"
But I am posting the findings here as well.
THIS TOPIC IS CLOSED.
My Bad. The problem Cause : I did not include all columns in the
cursor rowtype in the Data-block. In the wizard for the data block , I selected ONLY the columns that I needed. But I was doing a Select * from <my_table> in my open cursor <Cursor-Variable> .... The <Cursor Variable>
itself was declared <my_table>%rowtype
FIX : The Data Block structure (columns included as items) should match the cursor record Structure. One may or may not
display all the columns in the LAYOUT though.
But I don't understand why it gives such a misleading message like FRM-40301 Query retrieved no records. Oracle Team fix it.
Hope this helps people who face the same problem.
Thanks,

Update Date types based on actions

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to update date types within a date profile based on a certain action condition.
I have 3 date types:
Downtime Start
Downtime End
Total Downtime Duration
The priorities in my transaction have, x, y, z for example and x is default.
Upon selecting y, the system should take into consideration the timestamp of this change and update the Downtime Start... The moment the priority is changed to anything other than "y", it should take this timestamp and update "downtime end".
The difference between these two times would be the third date type.
Any ideas how to proceed?
Regards,
Ash

Oracle Tools Common Area Version 9.0.1.0.0
Oracle CORE     9.0.1.2.0     ProductionI have a module based on stored procedures. I have defined query, lock and update procedure. All of them are working as they should, I mean that when looking at the input and output from these procedures I don't see anything blatantly wrong.
Now, when I update a table field in the form and call the update stored procedure, this procedure takes the updated values in considerations, updates some more fields, and remove some records.
It is working as it should, except for two details :
1- I don't see the values updated by the procedure in the Form;
2- even though some records were removed from the table by the procedure, I still see all my records.
Is there a way to display the returned table?
And, is there any documentation about data block based on stored procedures, what are the required signatures and limitations of those stored procedures, what a lock procedure is supposed to do (mine does 'null;' ...), how to map a collection type defined in Oracle to a Form data block ? Any link will be appreciated, I have found half a dozen page vaguely detailing this on Google, but nothing that can compare to a usual Oracle manual. Maybe I have missed something.
Thank you for your help.
adsm

Yes, I was hoping to use these procedures to map the collection type returned to the database to the block data. I guess I was wrong. Except for the initial query and reading some other information from the database, I don't have to use these procedures as I do not write anything to it.
Thank you for your help, I will go on from there.
So, it means that I will have to iterate through my collection inside Forms and manipulate my data row by row. Or, is there a way to pass an Oracle collection type between the database and the Forms client and have it displayed without having to iterate through the rows and mapping each field?

Data block based on stored procedure with input arguments

Hi,
I am able to create a data block based on stored procedure.
but I want that procedure to take input arguments as well and I am facing the issue while setting the value for that input arguments from another block item.
Please somebody help, How to set the value for input argument from another control block- item?.(Note :Data block is based on the stored procedure)
Thanks in Advance,
Anandan Muthukannan

I did exactly the same way you mentioned.
But while building the form, The call to the procedure in 'QUERY-PROCEDURE' trigger has been modified like this way
procedure_name(qp_data,':BLOCK.ITEM');
so in procedure i am getting the value as ':BLOCK.ITEM' not the expected value.

Running data providers based on other data provider results in webi

Hi,
Thank you all; this is a great place to look for answers whenever you stumble in BO.
I got a specific requirement for a Webi report. The report should display the associated metrics only when the total surveyed members are greater than 25, if not, N/A.
This requirement happens to be a new add on for the already existing report; the report was built with multiple providers, in which one of the providers gives the total surveyed members.
Is there any way that we can control the rest of the data providers based on the first data provider output. I donu2019t want to run the rest of the data providersu2014 as there are too many, and each takes quite a bit of timeu2014 if the surveyed members are less than or equal to 25.
We are on XI3.1 Sp3
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response!
Vills u2013 Is it query from the results functionality that you are talking about? I tried this approach, but as I am using the measure in the filter of the 2nd data provider (total members > 25),and the resulting SQL is not getting parsed.
Waveryu2014 The report filter that I tried to use is not working. Can you please give me some more details how to use it?
As I would like to leverage the existing report, which perfectly works for the total members> 25 logic, I was asked to find a way to not to run the rest of the data providers to save db resources, provided if the total mbrs participated in the survey from the first data provider <25.
Is there any way that we can embed some case statement in the other data providers to make them run or throw an error message depending on member count?
To give some more understanding, I want to provide you the screen shots of the queries, but I am unable to paste those screen shots here .
Essentially I am looking for is there any way to use one data provideru2019s output as a trigger for the rest of the data providers?

Which route does the data take?

Hello - I've a WRT54GL still working well after 5 years of use. I've got one Ethernet cable attached PC (computer "A"), and two WI-FI attached, (computers "B" and "C"). They're all running Windows XP. I've heard much about how intelligent devices and intelligent systems can route the traffic in the most efficient manner, but not sure how or when it works. For example, if I sit at computer "B": and copy (or move) a file from computer C to computer A, what route does the data take? Does it pass through computer B? Thanks for any info.

Data can be routed through an internetwork using the following three types of information:
• The physical address of the destination device, found at the data link layer. Devices that forward messages based on physical addresses generally are called bridges.
• The address of the destination network, found at the network layer. Devices that use network addresses to forward messages usually are called routers, although the original name, still commonly used in the TCP/IP world, is gateway.
• The circuit that has been established for a particular connection. Devices that route messages based on assigned circuits are called switches.

Can Data Links be established between Data sets based on View Objects?

Hi all,
In the BI Publisher Documentation it's given that Datasets based on view object queries do not support Data Links / Group Links. We found out that only way to establish relationship between view object Datasets is to create a view link and then upload it to create a Dataset.
1. Is there any other way to establish relationship between view objects Datasets in DataModel editor itself just as in the case of data sets based on (SQL queries e.t.c.)?
2. If so can View object Datasets be linked to Datasets based on other Datasources?
3. Will the Datalinks for View object Datasets be supported in any of the upcoming releases. Is there any ER logged for this case?
Any insight on the above issues will be really helpful.
Thanks

Enhance the data source with date and time and populate these fields in the user exit using the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP .
OR
You can create Z function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP in BW side and write a routine in update rules/transfer rules to populate date and time.
hope this helps ...

Sort all the Records in Data manager based on Update Date

How to sort the reocrds in Data Manager based on Date or something ?
And also I have three records for a same customer in ( for three different company codes ) and when I search for this customer with the Customer number then it is showing three records , but when I search with Update Date then no records are fetched ...what is the reason ?

If you make a field as type "Time Stamp" in your data model using the MDM Console, make sure that the option Sort Index is set to Normal. If this is the case, whenever a record is updated in the repository, the date will be updated. If the sort index is normal, then MDM will allow you to sort the records based on the date and time by which they were updated. You can do this by finding your time stamp field in the MDM data manager and clicking on it. If there is an up and down arrow next to the name of your field, it means it can be sorted. Also, to answer your other question, you can definitely search based on date. Use the Free-Form Search on the left hand side of the data manager at the bottom of the screen. Simply select a date, and it will show you all the records updated on that date.

Inserting in the UUT_Results table a value that we read from our data base from a local variable

We would like to include in the UUT_Results table a value that we read from our data base into a local variable during the execution of our sequence file. We found that by modifying the configure database options we were able to add a column for this variable, but the local variable was not available to be placed into an expression for that column from the local variables or parameters. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how? Station Globals were available to be included in the expression, however the sequence file may be executed on more than one system which makes the Global unavailable on systems other than the one where the sequence file originated.

You can use the TestStand API to programmatically create global variables at runtime, thus ensuring their existence. For example, you could call Engine.Globals.SetValString("GlobalStringVariableName", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, "variable value")
Of course, if you need to test multiple UUTs in parallel, a single global is not sufficient. In that case you might consider adding the field you need to the UUT datatype in the process model. You could then access the field in your sequence via RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.YourNewField = YourNewValue.
If you also want your sequence to run without using a process model, you must check for the existence of the UUT before accessing it. You could use the expression function: PropertyExists("RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.YourNewFi
eld")

Error While Activating BI Web service data source based on MDM XI.

Dear experts,
Need help with an error that i am getting for a BI data source based on XI MDM. An extra field was added in the data source as part of business requirement and it works fine in dev environment but when we transported the changes to Q environment it is always giving following error.
The web-service based communication structure in the data source in QA is not getting updated with the new field in the target system.
Any inputs or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Many thanks for your help. This solved the issue for our .NET code, however the leak is still present in the report designer. I was also wondering if you could help further: because of the limits on the java memory process is there a way to ensure that a separate java process is started for each report that is loaded in my report viewers collection? Essentially the desktop application that i have created uses a tab control to display each type report, so each tab goes through the following code when displaying a report and closing a tab:
Is there a way to ensure that a different Java process is kicked off each time that I display a different report? My current code in c# always uses the same Java process so the memory ramps up. The code to load the report and then dispose of the report through closing the tab (and now the Java process) looks like this:
    private void LoadCrystalReport(string FullReportName)
      ReportDocument reportDoc = new ReportDocument();
      reportDoc.Load(FullReportName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
      this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDoc;
    private void DisposeCrystalReportObject()
      if (crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource != null)
        ReportDocument report = (ReportDocument)crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
        foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
          table.Dispose();
        report.Database.Dispose();
        report.Close();
        report.Dispose();
        GC.Collect();
