$$DATETIME$$

I'm having a display item with it's initial value $$DATETIME$$ to display the current date and time. The problem is that it's not being displayed at all in that particular display item.
I found out that it works with the "database item" property set to "yes", but this item must not be a database item. Btw, the datatype is "Datetime" as suggested in the help topics.
Anyone who can help?

Problem solved!
I did it with a trigger containing :<block>.<item> := :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME
:-)

Can you help me get the time format to match XML dateTime?

XML has a dateTime format which looks like this:
2002-10-10T12:00:00-05:00
and Im using XMLElement() functions in some queries to produce an xml document however it truncates the time portions of the data stored so it's just MM/DD/YYYY.
i would use a to_char function but I'm not sure what date format in Oracle to use to match the timezone portion at the end (-05:00) and how to get it to accept that 'T' in there as a separator as defined in the XML Schema spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/
Does anyone know?

FROM     dual;Sample output:
2011-07-25T15:50:12-04:00The TO_CHAR function is described in the SQL Language reference manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/sql_elements004.htm#sthref396
Look up "Format Models, Date" in the index.
To put boilerplate (that is, fixed) text , such as the letter 'T', in the output, include it in double-quotes.
TZH is the format specifier for Time Zone Hours, and TZM stands for Time Zone Minutes.

Catch datetime exception and custom error message in SSRS

I currently working on create report by using SSRS. I have 2 parameters: [Start date] and [End date] to filter data from database and show it on report. I want to validate 2 datetime parameter as describe above. Please tell me a solution to do this.
For example:
When user type the text like: 4/15/2014mmm => System validation thrown a message: [The From Date not correct type]
But in my case, I want to receive a custom error message by myself.(Look like: [Date Invalid!])

Hi Brain,
According to your description, you have a report with two parameters for user to input. Now you want to validate these two parameters and display custom error message when the date is invalid. Right?
In Reporting Service, it doesn’t provide any interference for us to modify the system error message (the text in grey color). That means we can’t modify the system message when error occurs. However we can create a textbox in this report, use custom code
and expression to display the custom error message. But this all based on the report is successfully running. So if error occurs during report processing, all the custom code and expression will not work. In this scenario, we find a workaround for you. We
use custom code to judge if the date is valid, if the users type an invalid date, we return a default value to make sure this report can successfully run. Then we use expression to control the visibility of tablix in this report and create a textbox to show
the custom error message. Your case has been tested in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to Report Properties. Put the code below into custom code:
Public Shared a As Integer=0
Public Shared Function IsDate(d1 As String,d2 As String) as Integer
        Try
           FormatDateTime(d1)
           FormatDateTime(d2)
        Catch ex As Exception
                   a=1
        End Try
return a
End Function
Create two parameters. One is StartDate, the other is EndDate. Set the data type of these two parameters Text.
Create a filter for StartDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!StartDate.Value,"1/1/2012")),CDate("1/1/2012"))
Create a filter for EndDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!EndDate.Value,"1/1/2013")),CDate("1/1/2013"))
Ps: In step3 and step4, the date(“1/1/2012”, “1/1/2013”) in the expression are the default we set to make sure the report can successfully process. You can set any date existing in your dataset.
Use the expression below to set the visibility of the tablix:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,false,true)
Create a textbox, put the expression below into it:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,"","Date invalid")
Save and preview. It looks like below:

Datetime parameter from stored procedure

<p>I have a report written in CR10 which uses a stored procedure as the datasource. The stored procedure has 3 input parameters, two of which are datetime data types. When the crystal report is run, it prompts the user for the 3 parameters & runs just fine except...</p><p>For the date parameters, it prompts the user to enter a time as well. In previous versions of Crystal, parameters that were datetime data types in the stored procedure were just prompted for the date when the calling crystal report was run.</p><p>I attempted to edit the parameters in the report, but the "Value Type" is grayed out (I assume since the parameter is associated with the stored procedure, rather than being a user defined parameter within the report). These date parameters are used in a BETWEEN statement in the stored proc, so if the user just enters a date but accepts the default time, the returned data gets flakey due to the addition of the time value passed by the parameter.</p><p> I tried setting a default value for the time, but I have to enter a date along with the time, which the report then uses as the default. The user then has to uncheck the "Pick from defaults" checkbox in order to enter their own date. This is really unwieldly for the end user, especially when they were previously able to just enter a date and not have to be concerned with a time at all.</p><p>Does anyone have suggestions on working around this issue? </p><p>Thanks in advance...</p>

<p>You mention that you are using CRW version 10 for this. What's the data source you are reporting against (you mention a stored procedure - but are you running against Oracle, SQL Server, DB2?). Are you connecting natively or using ODBC? <br /></p>

Null value for int and datetime date type in xml schema

hi:
I am embarrassed by a qustion in xml schema; i defined a xml schema file like
this:
<elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="test">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Comment describing your root element</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="password" type="xs:string" nillable="true"/>
<xs:element name="user" type="xs:int" nillable="true"/>
<xs:element name="s_time" type="xs:dateTime"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
and I send this file to workflow clientrequest() node, I wanted to receive data
in this schema file.but when i send null value to the element "user" and "s_time"
in workshop test tool(test soap),and use function in xmlbean like isNilUser or
isNilStime, one error occur.
I don't kown why, I had to ask the engineer of bea in china, one told me a bug.
is that true?

Visakh16 I cant agree more with you on it, it is good but in production u cant have them change maxrows. I think
Patrick Hurst is a better option. debug the package have it running and move up
Please mark as helpful and propose as answer if you find this as correct!!! Thanks,Dia Agha .
Hmm..Why do you need to change it in production?
What I suggested was to tweak the setting in dev machine so that it interprets the Excel file datatypes correctly when doing development. Once mapping is set correctly then it will work fine when in production or in any other environment. The tweaking is
just to make sure it interprets the datatype correctly at design time and has nothing to do with production deployment

How to return a single datetime from multiple rows of MAX(value) in DAX

Hi
I have a Results table with ResultTime, Balance, Equity which is updated with a new row every 5 minutes. I've used SUMX to find opening and closing balances and it has worked so far.
Res_OpeningBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],1),[Balance])
Res_ClosingBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0),[Balance])
But when I tried it with dates, the whole thing fell apart.
Res_MaxBalance_Date:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),[ResultTime])
Since the highest Balance is likely to be represented through many rows due to it lasting more than 5 minutes, ResultTime (which is unique to each row) is summed up and returns messed up dates well into the future. How to return only one date (first or last
datetime) from the rows where Balance is at max?
I tried a TOPN of TOPN, but Excel was not amused.
=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0))
TIA!
Re
Dennis

I still don't understand RANKX, but I figured it out anyway. I get the correct data by using:
Res_MaxBalance:=MAX(Results[Balance])
Res_MaxBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MAX(Results[Balance])))
Res_MinBalance:=MIN(Results[Balance])
Res_MinBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MIN(Results[Balance])))
Res_MaxEquity:=MAX(Results[Equity])
Res_MaxEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MAX(Results[Equity])))
Res_MinEquity:=MIN(Results[Equity])
Res_MinEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MIN(Results[Equity])))

DateTime format

Hello,
We're currently working project that uses SharePoint 2013 platform to do the heavy lifting. One of the requirements we have is that system must comply with various acts which includes date and time formatting.
The problem we're having is that our locale has two ways of formatting date values but only one is allowed in official documents and we can't find a way to force SharePoint to use the one we need. It doesn't seem care what format is set on the server regional
settings nor it allows to specify format on the site settings. But it does seem to be related to regional settings somehow since using different versions of Windows Server has different results:
Windows Server 2012 - uses yyyy-MM-dd which is what we need.
Windows Server 2008 - uses yyyy.MM.dd which is what we have.
Neither creating derived datetime field, nor creating calculated fields is an option for us. Using 2012 server is also of the table.
Any ideas as to how could we make this work?

Not able to convert element of type xs:date to dateTime in XSLT 2.0

Hi,
I am trying to subtract 2 dates and get the month difference between the two using XSLT 2.0
This is what I have done
<xsl:variable name="monthDiff">
<xsl:call-template name="monthDifference">
<xsl:with-param name="date1" select="/tns:StartDate"/>
<xsl:with-param name="date2" select="xp20:current-dateTime()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
Template
<xsl:template name="monthDifference">
<xsl:param name="date1"/>
<xsl:param name="date2"/>
<xsl:value-of select="(xsd:dateTime($date1) - xsd:dateTime($date2))"/>
</xsl:template>
Problem I am facing is
1. If the value of tns:StartDate is in below format then this transformation works successfully
2012-08-31T10:00:37+05:30
2. But I am getting tns:StartDate as input in the below format due to which the transformation fails
2012-08-31-04:00
I tried formatting the date in required format but still the transformation fails
Can someone please help in solving this issue..
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Anju

How to calculate the time duration on a datetime column?

Hi guys,
I've done some search on this forum and everywhere else but I can't seem to get this right, at the beggining it sounded like something very simple to accomplish, for the instance with Excel but I'm struggling to get it to work with Crystal Reports on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
I have a datetime column (SQL Server 2000) that I wanted to calculate the the time duration on the report group footer, unfortunatelly the built-in SUM function cannot be applied and I've tried several formulas that I've found on the internet without any luck. I'm using a datetime column to store only the time because I'm stuck with SQL Server 2000 which doesn't have a time data type.
Would you guys know how to do it by any chance?
Some sample code I've tried: http://www.minisolve.com/TipsAddUpTime.htm
Thanks a lot,
Paul

Guess what, by further testing the code on the website mentioned above I got it working.
Pus, I needed to change the grouping on the code, so I had to come up with a way to update the formulas based on the groupping field.
Considering "call_date" is the field that you are groupping by on the designer use the following code to update the formula:
CrystalReportObj = new ReportDocument();
CrystalReportObj.Load("C:\\reportfile.rpt");
FieldDefinition FieldDef;
//Get formula
FormulaFieldDefinition FormulaDef1;
FormulaDef1 = CrystalReportObj.DataDefinition.FormulaFields["SubHours"];
//Get formula
FormulaFieldDefinition FormulaDef2;
FormulaDef2 = CrystalReportObj.DataDefinition.FormulaFields["subMinSec"];
//Update the formula to work with the new grouping field,
//this must be called first else will throw an exception
FormulaDef1.Text = FormulaDef1.Text.Replace("call_date", "call_extension");
FormulaDef2.Text = FormulaDef2.Text.Replace("call_date", "call_extension");
//Get the new field we are grouping by
FieldDef = CrystalReportObj.Database.Tables[0].Fields["call_extension"];
//Replace current grouping field with the new one,
//considering there only one group in the report, index 0
CrystalReportObj.DataDefinition.Groups[0].ConditionField = FieldDef;
Have fun.

Crystal Report that reads from an XML file Datetime or Date

I have a Crystal Report 2008 that reads from an XML file, the source File XML Date data looks like this: 2008-03-10
But the Crystal Report interpreted by datatime, I need the Crystal Report to look like this: 2008/03/10 (date) not 2008-03-10T00:00:00-05:00 (datatime)
Look at an example (source file xml, report, and parameter file to execute report) at url: http://www.5websoft.com/sample.zip
Import the file in the design and will to verify that interpret incorrectly the fields of type date as datetime
not mapped currently for fields..
Help.....
Thanks!

You could always reformat the field to only display the date portion:
Format Field > Date and Time tab; choose the date style you need here.
Or create a formula to extract just the date and use this field in your report:
date({table.field})

Hide / unhide dropdownlist in DateTime Picker

I am writing an ASP.NET application and using javascript DateTime Picker code (I have found it on the Internet):
<script type="text/javascript">
// 

</script>
Also I have to use DropDownList below this DateTime Picker. In the IE 6.0 "DropDownList" control comes in front of this calendar (this is a known problem in IE 6.0, that is form items appear infront of all other).
And now I am trying to hide the form items as the DateTime Picker is shown and display them again as the calendar is closed. For this action I am using:
document.form1.dropDownList.display = true / false in the "function ds_sh(t)" and "function ds_hi()"
but its not working (not hide or unhide, no action).
Maybe somebody could help me in this situation.
Thanks in advance.
br,
Forumaic

I replaced these to lines that not worked in the DateTime picker with this one:
var obj = document.getElementById('ddlTest');
    obj.style.visibility = "visible";
var obj = document.getElementById('ddlTest');
    obj.style.visibility = "hidden";And now everything working like it should be.

I want to pass AuditTime value from page1 to page2.
I am passing the AuditTime value from page1 to page2 using Destination URI.
The AuditTime value is 2008-11-11 12:45:31.0
How to get the AuditTime in page2 so that I can get the exact value '2008-11-11 12:45:31.0' ?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sagarika

Hi
I am passing the value using the following destination URI,
OA.jsp?page=/uttara/oracle/apps/uttaraimc/audit/webui/Page2&auditTime={@AuditTime}&retainAM=Y
In the database the AuditTime value is like '2008-11-11 12:45:31.0'
Normally we are using pageContext.getParameter("auditTime"); to get the value which are passed in destination URI.
Here if I'll use pageContext.getParameter("auditTime"); I am not getting the correct value.
How to get the exact value?

DateTime issue at Universe Level

Hello Experts,
We have stored date in database as datetime format. In Universe, we have created object on this date. But we have to keep type of this objet as u2018Dateu2019 as there is no datetime object type available in universe.
When we dragged this objet in webi, we found that we are getting only date but no timestamp. We can manually do this using report formatting. However we would like to achive this at universe level.
My question is : What should be the type of object in universe for getting datetime at report level ?
We found that, if we keep objet type as char, we may get the desired results. However is there any other alternative?
Regards,
Chinmay

Hi,
Use the Function Convert to convert into datetime format in the Universe object level.
Syntax:
convert(datetime,field_name,101)

Shiva Kumar G.C
