Date Timeframe GROUP BY Prompt

All,
Is it possible to allow a user to select a start and end date range (YYYYMMDD to YYYYMMDD) and then also dynamically choose how they want the data to be grouped (i.e. by day, week, month, quarter, year)? I have seen a handful of blogs/posts on setting up the start and end date prompt filter but I am not completely sure how to allow the user to select the timeframe they would like to group by.
Thanks in advance.

Nicolae - I was able to get the multi-pivot approach with view selector working and it works well. The only problem is that my drill down functionality isnt working. It is due to the fact that in the request I have to include Month, Week and Day. When all of these are included in a report there is no more drill down to do since it is already down to the day.
For the 3 pivots I created, one for Month, Week and Day I have to include all 3 fields to make them available for creating the different pivot views. However, even though in the Month pivot view I am not using Week or Day (pushed to the exclude section) they still cause the resulting report to not allow for Drill Down even though only the Month is displayed. I think from OBIEEs perspective, I still have all the data in the request Month, Week, and Day so there is no more drill down to do.
If I delete the Week and Day fields from the request then Drill down comes back into the pivot.
Any thoughts on how to keep the drill down with the pivot views? I realize that by allowing for the different views within the view selectors the users basically still have this functionality but I think it would still be nice to have the drill down functionality available.
Thanks in advance.

FI:where to maintain the data of "Group account number"?

Hi.When I use the T-CODE FS00 to create G/L account,the sap require me to Make an entry in field "Group account number".But when I press F4 on the field "Group account number",the sap tell me there is no values.So I need to maintain the data of "Group account number".But I don't know where to maintain the data of "Group account number".So I need someone give me the T-CODE or some advice.Thanks so much.

Hi,
You have activated group account number. If you have any grp account number of your company please provide the group company account number.
Else if you dont want to give group account number
In T-code: OB13 remove group chart of accounts from your chart of accounts

Data Source Groups in Query no reflecting changes in Admin

Version of US used: 1.0.3
I removed some data source groups and add new ones in the Admin Application. But the default Query Application does not reflect these changes. That is, when I go to Advanced Search in the Query Application, the list of Data Source Groups displayed (i.e. the checkboxes) does not include the new ones I added and it still shows the ones I already deleted.
My question: how to update the data groups in the Advanced Query Screen? Do I have to execute all the schedules again before the updates are reflected?
Thanks!

Hi,
The caching Cindy was referring to is NOT in the browser. It is in the JSP middle-tier.
The JSP cache the data groups information to avoid fetching from the database everytime,
since data groups change infrequently.
In addition, in 1.0.3 version, this cache does not have any invalidation logic. So once the
search application has started (after first use), the data groups will never change unless
the application server (apache+jserv) is restarted.
Please restart the application server to see your changes take place. If you wish, you can
change the caching logic in the jsp itself. You may implement some trivial invalidation based
on time, or disable it if your server can handle the load.
Note: Ultra Search samples in 9.0.2 or later releases have invalidation of cache every 15 mins
or so.

Date format for Calendar Prompt in Oracle BI

Hi,
1)
In Oracle Answers, I need to have this format : dd-MMM-yy in a Calendar Prompt
I've changed in localedefinitions.xml :
<property name="dateShortFormat">dd-MMM-yy</property>
<property name="dateOrder">dmy</property>
<property name="dateSeparator">-</property>
<property name="dateFormats">
<property>dd-MMM-yy</property>
</property>
then I've restarted all services, but still, the format is (only in Calendar prompt) : dd-mm-yyyy (ex : 16-01-2007).
I'm using : Oracle Business Intelligence Product Version 10.1.3.3.3 (Build 080430.1930).
2)
related to this, I set the value of a presentation variable with the value of returned by this Calendar Prompt. I need to compute (in a report column) the difference (in days) between some column and that presentation value .
I've tried :
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Attributes."Modified Date", TIMESTAMP '@{v}')
But I get errors related most probably to the way TIMESTAMPS seems to work : getting only 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss' like parameters ? any idea how to convert variable v to timestamp , using a custom mask ?
Thank you !

right now, Calendar prompt displays (by default) dates using the format : DD-MM-YYYY, although I tried to configure everything to DD-MMM-YY
If using folowing formula in a column : TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Attributes."Modified Date", CAST('@{v_reference_date}' AS DATE))
i got errors (State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1843, message: ORA-01843: not a valid month at OCI call OCIStmtExecute: )
I got errors for TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Attributes."Modified Date", @{v_reference_date})) as well.
It works for TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Attributes."Modified Date", CAST('@{v_reference_date}' AS DATE)) only if I directly type the date (in the Calendar prompt) using a DD-MMM-YY or a DD-MM-YYYY- format .
so , I will need to force Calendar to use DD-MMM-YY format (don't know if it is possible), or, in the worst case, I should be able to CAST a string to date using a mask provided on the spot (something like to_date('01-13-2010', 'dd-mm-yyyy') )

Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: <em>select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"</em>
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)

How to learn to extract data and group it

I recently met a guy who is looking to employ some folks. He got in touch with me in LinkedIn. I have done my research and I know he’s a real guy looking for people. I would like to get the job despite of the poor work conditions but I just feel the fear of failing or not being capable to do the job.
I know I have to try and it will be great if some of you could give some advice on how to do the job or how can I self-learn this. I'm ready to read books and follow instructions. Last year, I did a DBA internship so, I’m familiar with PL/SQL but I didn’t cover information on how to programme or gather data.
Here’s bit of the job information: "The work is to programme in PL/SQL to extract data and group it. You will learn how to make indexes and work with massive data. You will learn about programming performance in PL-SQL to extract data".
I have translated the job info from Spanish to English so, I hope you can get what I’m actually looking for. For the ones that can speak Spanish, this is what the guy wrote: "El trabajo es programar en PL/SQL para extraer datos y centralizarlos. Va a aprender a realizar índices y trabajar con datos masivos. Va a aprender mucho sobre performance de programación en PL-SQL para extraer datos".
Thanks! Gracias!

How to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?

how to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?
sql>variable q date;
when i execute it show list of datatypes

Hi,
As Lokanath said, there are no DATE bind variables.
You can use a VARCHAR2 bind variable, and convert it to a DATE in your SQL statment.
If you're using SQL*Plus, consider a substitution variable. It won't be as efficient as a bind variable, but it will be as convenient.
For example:
DEFINE first_entrry_date = "DATE '2010-06-20''
SELECT   ...
WHERE   entry_date >= &first_entry_date
{code}

Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

Hi All-
What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

Delivery grouping and the delivery date for group in SD

Hi
Using a userexit I am grouping certain materials together. However the delivery date for group field is not picking up the expected date.
Assume the following example:
Material X            Delivery Date 20.12.2006
Material Y           Delivery Date 27.12.2006
If I group them together I expect the delivery date for the group to become 27.12.2006 however it is picking up 20.12.2006.
If anyone has some thoughts regarding this they would be most appreciated.

Yeah got ur point i was mapping the table configuaration for ur reference.
This grouping is supposed to make sure that all materials are delievered at the same Date (VBEP-EDATU) and must use the last date in the delivery group.
say materials X -- DELIVERY DATE 20 12 2006
                     Y -- DELIVERY DATE 27 12 2006
so the matnrs are avalaible in VBAP along with for the VBELN and POSNR values now pick the delivery date for this material from VBEP   ,,
Now once the itab is sorted by delivery group and EDATU descending .
so X and Y are present in for delivery group 001 say .
X -- DELIVERY DATE 20 12 2006
Y-- DELIVERY DATE 27 12 2006
after sort by date it will be
Y-- DELIVERY DATE 27 12 2006
X -- DELIVERY DATE 20 12 2006
which will pick up the latest date (or max date)
Tis was what i meant to say.
what is the incude you r using ?
regards,
vijay

Restrict the dates in calendar dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We have a requirement where depending upon the type of report selected,the users should be restricted in their selection of dates.
Is there any way we could control the dates shown in calendar prompts?
Thanks.

I'm sorry I have misread your initial question. So you want to restrict the calendar. I don't think this is possible, I'm afraid.
