Default date in VF01

Hi SD Guru's
I would like to default the Billing Date in VF01 to Current Date. Any suggestions and advice on this.
Regards
Vineet

Hi Vineet,
You need to make this setting in your copy controls. Standard SAP provides data transfer routine 11 at item level in your copy control setup. Depending upon whether your billing document is order relevant or delivery relevant, you can setup routine 11 in the VTFA (for order related billings - example F2 from OR) or VTFL (for delivery related billings - example F2 from LF). If you are already using some your own customer defined data transfer routine, you can ask your ABAPer to copy the code from routine 11 and use that in your data transfer routine. If your copy control has a blank data transfer routine, you can very well make use of 11 there and things will be fine.

Billing Date in vf01 to make default system date

hi all,
i need to make billing date in vf01 as system date(sy-datum) by default.
how to get it done.
any idea.
thanks
Venkat.

Hi...
You can do this with Enhancements Or BADi depending on availble objects for that screen. I will let you know the procedure to achieve same thing with BADI.
1. goto Class CL_EXITHANDLER from SE24, Double click the method INSTANCE, there is a select statement to pick BADI name into one variable , now make a break point there.
2. By opening the VF01 this breal point will triggers and you can find corresponding BADI.
3. Or you can find the BADI name in your way.
4. Goto SE19
5. Enter the BADI Name to impliment it...give implimentation name
6. Inside the BADI yo van have no.of interface methods..with details descriptions
7. Also find the Attribute name for you Date field, that must be there in one table parameter....
8. Now double click the interface method to write your code
9. " TABLE-FIELD = sy-datum " ...is your code here. TABLE is the attribute which you found earlier.
Thats it.
All the best.
Thanks,

Return default data if no data is returned by sql query

Hi,
I have a requirement.
I have an inner query that returns no data. However I still want to return default data (say 'abc'). The below sql does not return anything inspite of using nvl . Please advise .
select nvl( x.vencode,'abc') vencode
from
-- below sql returns no data!
          SELECT a.vencode vencode,
                 a.mid mid,
                 a.title title,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY a.vencode ORDER BY a.title) rnk
           FROM (
                 SELECT *
                 FROM    (SELECT vencode FROM vendor where login is not null and vencode = 'BKFI'
                                    and login > (sysdate - 90) )
                      CROSS JOIN
                         (SELECT mid, title, ROWNUM num FROM tcommmemos where mid is not null)
                ) a,
               (SELECT * FROM (
                SELECT v.vencode, tc.mid, tc.title
           FROM
           (select * from vendor
                 where login is not null and vencode = 'BKFI'

            tcommmemosviewed tcv, tcommmemos tc
           WHERE     v.vencode = tcv.vencode
                 and tc.mid is not null
                 --AND tc.post_date > v.hiredate
                 AND tc.mid = tcv.mid)
               ) b
               where a.vencode = b.vencode(+)
                 and a.title   = b.title(+)
                 and a.mid     = b.mid(+)
                 and b.mid is null
) x

Use any aggregate function it'll always return a value even if there no data in the table
create table r_dummy_1 (a number);
SQL> select * from r_dummy_1;
no rows selected
SQL> select nvl(max(a),1) from r_dummy_1;
NVL(MAX(A),1)

How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4

A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users - in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
20/01/2009 20-Jan-2009 20th January 2009
This displays in BO 6.5 as
1/20/2009 1/20/2009 20th January 2009
My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
Can you advise how to correct this problem please.

Hi Sebastien
Thank you for your response.
I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
Any other ideas?

By refering to 7th page in the document. It is explained to add the data source object from the 'info' port and add the field called 'RAPTNAME'to the DATA source object.
But the RFC object which i added to the story board, i havent find any 'info' port in my added RFC. But still i have added the data store object and added field. then
copied the following given formula in the document in respective formula window ,Formula showin as valid. when i click on check button.

How to give specific default date with expression in SSRS

Hi,
I have to pass some specific kind of dates in "Default Values" section of parameter.
1st is whenever SSRS report run for any year in default date I want to pass value 1/1/(Current Year), for this I tried many way like , = "1/1/" + DatePart("Y",Now()) also = "1/1/" + Year(Now()) but it
is giving me error. When I tried both part individually "1/1/" and DatePart("Y",Now()) , it is working but when I join them with + sign it is giving me error that "input string is not in correct format"
2nd I want to set up like when package run in month of April, it takes default date as "(Previous Month, which is May)/1/(current Year)" so if I am running report on 4/5/2013 then it in default date it should take 3/1/2013.
Please help me with the expression. Thanks in advance.
Vicky

Hi Visakh,
Thanks again.
I have one more question, I also have start date and end date. In start date I can put your expression as you gave me as below,
=DateAdd(DateInterval.Month,DateDiff(DateInterval.Month,CDate("01/01/1900"),Now())-1,CDate("01/01/1900"))
But can you please help me with End date expression?
In End date I want to put previous month's last date. For example, if active batch is running package on
12/16/2013 then for End Date parameter it should value "11/30/2013"
For 1/16/2014 then for End Date parameter it should value "12/31/2013"
For 3/16/2013 then for End Date parameter it should value "2/28/2013"
Thanks for your help in advance.

Default data adaptor error when deploying a war file in weblogic

Hi All,
Newbie here with a few questions regarding the deployment of OPA 10.1. Really hoping you guys can help...
1) I'm attempting to deploy an unexploded web-determinations.war file on WebLogic. Thanks to this forum I've got past the issues of "rulebase directory not found" etc. However, i'm now faced with an issue which I can't find any info on. Please see below.
3672074 [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] WARN com.or

I've got the following entry in the application.properties file too...
# Default XDS data adaptor file path
#xds.file.path =data
From what we can see we believe the code is getting a null pointer because of the following method in the WebDeterminationsServletContext class.
public String resolveFullPath(String path)
File f = new File(path);
return f.isAbsolute() ? f.getAbsolutePath() : this.servletContext.getRealPath(path);
We believe the getRealPath(path), highlighted in red, is returning null. Any ideas how we can resolve this?
2) The second issue I'm facing is with regards the plugins.libraries property in the application.properties file. I've got the entry as
plugin.libraries =DataAdaptor.DA;
which should point to our customised data adaptor. However I'm getting the following error.
4242994 [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '2' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] WARN com.or
acle.determinations.web.platform.servlet.WebDeterminationsServletContext - Can not find class: Data

acle.determinations.interview.engine.local.LocalInterviewEngine - Can not find class: DataAdaptor.D
A
3) Also, does anyone know if it's possible to deploy a web-determinations.war file containing additional internal application code? What we're attempting to do is deliver a single war file which not only holds the web determination code but also all the code for an application which wraps the OWD within it. At present this just isn't working. I'm not sure what the conflict is exactly. The only way i seem to be able to get this working is by deploying the code in two seperate war files.
Any help on these issues would be greaty appreciated.
Thanks,
Taj

(2) is being caused because your data adaptor plugin is not installed properly. The jar that contains your plugin needs to go in the WEB-INF/lib directory and you must specify the fully qualified class name in the plugin.libraries property of the application.properties file.
If you haven't provided a custom data adaptor, Web Determinations will configure and attach the default one for use instead, which is file based. If you are deploying to WebLogic as an unxeploded war, you must configure the directory the default data directory the plugin will uses by specifying an absolute path that your instance of Web Determinations has read/write permissions to in the xds.file.path property of the application.properties file. In your case (1) is basically being caused by (2) since if the your data adaptor was loaded correctly the default one wouldn't load at all.
As for (3) yes it's likely possible, provided you don't have library conflicts. How it's done really depends on what these additional customisations consist of.

How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

Hi All,
How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,
Arpan

Hi Arpan
OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
so
1- Stop BI Server from EM
2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
4- modify it and save
5- bring BI Server up.

Unable to set default date for Date Picker item using Auto Row Processing

Okay, I have searched through the forum for an answer, and have not found a thing to account for my problem.
First, does anyone know if using Auto Row Processing has problems updating an item/field in a record where the Source is defined as Database Column if the 'Display As' is defined as 'Date Picker (MM/DD/YYYY)'?
I ask this only because I found out the hard way that Auto Row Processing does NOT fetch the value for an item where the field is defined as TIMESTAMP in the database.
My problem is as follows: I have a form that will CREATE a new record, allowing the user to select dates from Date Pickers, text from Select Lists, and entering in text into a Textarea item. The information is saved using a standard (created through the Auto Row Processing wizared) CREATE page level button. After the record is created the user is able to go into it and update the information. At that time, or later, they will click on one of two buttons, 'ACCEPT' or 'DECLINE'. These are Item level buttons, which set the REQUEST value to 'APPLY' (Accept) and 'UPDATE' (Decline). The Accept button executes a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Accepted', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record. The Declined button runs a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Declined', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record.
However, even though the Status Code field is updated in the database record in both Accepted and Declined processing, the Declined_Accepted_Date field remains NULL in the database record (by looking at the records via SQL Developer). WHY??? I looked at the Session State values for both the Status Code and the Declined_Accepted_Date fields and saw that the fields (items) had the expected values after the process that SAVEs the record.
The following is the code from the Accept button Page Process Source/Process:
BEGIN
:P205_STATUS_CD := 'A';
:P205_REF_DECLINE_ACCEPT_DT := SYSDATE;

As can be seen, the Status Code and Declined_Accepted_Date items are set one right after the other.
As an aside, just what is the difference between Temporary Session State vs Permanent Session State? And what is the sequence of events to differentiate the two?

Here's yet another thing that I just looked into, further information...
One other difference between the date field I am having problems with (Accepted_Declined_Date), and other dates (with Date Pickers) in the record is that the Accepted_Declined_Date never gets displayed until after it is set with a default date when the Accept and Decline buttons are pressed.
One of the other dates that works, the Received Date, is able to write a default date to the record that is never typed into the box or selected from the calendar. That date is placed into the box via a Post Calculation Computation in the Source, which I set up as: NVL(:P205_REF_RECEIVED_DT,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'))
However, I do remember actually trying this also with the Accepted_Declined_Date, and setting the Post Calculation Computation did not work for the Accept_Decline_Date. Could this be because the Accept_Decline_Date is never rendered until the Status Code is set to Declined (in other words, there is no need to display the date and allow the user to change it until the record is actually declined)???
The control of the displaying (rendering) of the date is set via the Conditions / Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2
Expression 1 = P205_STATUS_CD and Expression 2 = L
Does this shed any light???

How do I change the default "date range" when searching in the forums?

Hi all,
New to the SAP forums... How do I change the default date range when searching in the forums? I am getting a 90 day search by default. Then I have to change it and search again. Argh!
Thanks,
--Amy Smith

Hi Amy,
the default date range cannot be changed by users. It is defined system-wide.

Current date as default date in bind variable (jdev 10.1.3.3.0)

Hi,
I would like to initialize a bind variable with current date -7 days
I saw the post regarding this request but it was for jdev11 and the solution doesn't work in jdev10.
Have you any idea to do that in jdev10
Thanks.

A bind variable used in SQL statement
It's the same problem discussed in this post : current date as default date
The only difference is that i'm using Jdev 10 !
