Dynamic Date Value for Date Range Parameter - Scheduling in BI

Hi,
I am New to BO Enterprise XI R3. I want to schedule the Crystal report which takes Date Range as parameter. Is any option available to calculate From Date automatically based on Current Date based on the range required?
Currently, Parameter option accepts parameters and enterprise process the report for configured parameters. In this case, report always prints only for configured date range eventhough report generated after one month. I am expecting report has to print data for date range (eg. 1 weeks, 4 days, or any range) based on system current date.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkateswaran.P

I'm am in the same situation. I need to be able to have the date parameter dynamically change based on the current day's date when I schedule a report. However, because this parameter comes from a Stored Procedure from the database, it cannot be modified in the Report Designer (as far as I know). I've tried to set a default for it to use "currentdate" but it doesn't seem to take. Anyone know if this can be accomplished in the scheduler?
Thanks

Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

Hello Everyone,
Our Env is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 integrated with SAP NW BW 7.02 EPH1
We are trying to schedule few WebI reports which can be used on ad-hoc basis as well. Some reports need to get data from starting of the month to today (like MTD) and few are with dynamic date ranges.
In case of relational universes i used to do Magic Date as mentioned here : http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts
But for OLAP Universes i have written a MDX filter prompt as :
<FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

Ingo,
When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
There are good examples in
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
Is the folloing scenario possible:
Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically) if date = 1.1.1900
else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
Is a customer exit like this possible ?
Pseudo code:
IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.

Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.

C5112736 wrote:>
> And then these 2 formulas 'Formula # 1' and 'Formula # 2' can be used to pass on to the stored procedure.
Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.

Dynamic date range

I'm on ECC6.0, and looking to set up a dynamic date range in a variant.
The date range is a select-option on my selection screen.
I can easily setup the dynamic date for the 'low' value in the range,
but I can see no way to also declare a dynamic date in the 'high' value.
I also looked in TVARV maintenance and it doesn't seem possible there
either, as there's no way to declare variable values.
If I can't resolve this, I will have to change my program to include a
default high date and use that.
But even that may not work if we call the variant, which may overwrite
my default in the high value of the range with a blank value.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jagan,
If you save the variant you can choose some options for the select-option. If you choose selection variabel type D (dynamic date calculation) you can choose out of several Names of Variables that provide for a LOW and HIGH value.
If you use type T, you can choose a variable that is stored in tabel TVARVC. You can add your own variable to table TVARVC using SE16.

Regarding Date Range parameter

hello,
in purchase order, i want to pass date range parameter. For eg .
I want to fetch data from 21/11/2011 to 25/11/2011
how to pass parameter for this?? or do i need to create any formula??
if yes then how/???????
awaiting for soonest reply.

hi,
you need to do this in the Formula workshop.
this formula {OPOR.DocDate} = {?DateRange}
{OPOR.DocDate} - this is the PO DocDate
{?DateRange} - this is what you have done in step #4 in my 1st post. in this example "DateRange" is the name of my Parameter.
Quote from you post
{OPOR.DocDate} = {?25/11/2011 to 30/11/2011} In this way should i write a formula??????
change this {?25/11/2011 to 30/11/2011} to the name of your Parameter. refer to step #4.

Fidel

Date Range Parameter's Restriction

Could you someone please tell me how BO restricts date range parameter when the users tries to run a query? Often times, users simultaneously try to get several years of data dumped into a single query. Some users even forget to enforce the date range, which causes the query to try to get the data from the beginning of time.
How do we as a BO developer create some sort of date range restriction so that it can prevent users from overloading a query? If the users want to get several years of data, he/she has to run a query in batches instead of doing it all at once.
I hope there is a way that we can create a custom informational error message for each report to prevent users from trying to query too many months or years of data. Some reports may hit small and well-indexed tables that allow large date range queries. But, some reports query against large and poorly indexed tables, which can potentially cause adverse effect on performance without date range restriction.
Any thoughts or advices on how to implement such things (if possible). I am also afraid that the answer will be "currently not doable". If so, any ideas if the next version of BO will allow such functionality, or if it is at least in the plan at all? Thank you so much for your insight and sharing. Have a great day!

Dear Amr,
Thanks so much for your quick reply! The field I want to create a restriction on is called RESULT_DT_TM. When I saw the "where" section of the field, I just don't see how I can apply my START_DT_TM and END_DT_TM parameters on this field so that START_DT_TM and END_DT_TM cannot be more than 365 days apart. If my query does not use parameters called START_DT_TM and END_DT_TM, this "where" section will not be valid?
I don't think the solution has to be on the field itself but rather on the parameter START_DT_TM and END_DT_TM. What I want is that as long as START_DT_TM and END_DT_TM are more than 365 days apart, it does not matter what field these parameters are running against. The screen would then display something saying "your date range parameters for this report must be within 365 days. Please revise your date range on query".
Sorry, I am PL/SQL report programmer, and not familiar with what BO can do. So, is there anyway that can make my dream come true? Thanks a bunch again, Amr.

CR 2008: Setting currrentdate as default begin date in a date range paramet

I have a Crystal Report with a date range parameter.
How do I set the Begin Date to be todays date ?
I am using a Universe as the data source.
Thanks,

Hi Rajesh,
1) Is the prompt a constant value?
    If yes then type "1900/01/01" in the from value as default value. And in the report selection formula should look similar to this :
DateVar DateParamValue:-
If = Date(1900,1,1) Then
    DateParamValue := CurrentDate
Else
    DateParamValue := {?DateParam};
    {Table.DateField} = DateParamValue;

Using Date Range parameter in Subreport Selection Formula

I have a subreport which includes this line in the selection formula:
{Production.Date} = {?Pm-?DateRange}
{?Pm-?DateRange} appears in the Subreport Links window, so it seems like it should work.
The DateRange parameter is set by the user in the Main report.
But the subreport returns no records.
I tried this:
In the Main report I created a StartDate and a StopDate field from {?Pm-?DateRange} .
Then in the subreport selection formula I used these two formula fields like this:
{Production.Date} >= @StartDate
and
{Production.Date} <= @StopDate
This works!
So I have found a workaround, but still, I don't understand why the original code {Production.Date} = {?Pm-?DateRange} returns no records.
Thanks,
Art

Hi Art,
You cannot use a date range parameter directly in the subreport's record selection formula.
You'll need to create a formula in the Main report like this:
Minimum(?DateRange) //This gives the start date
Maximum(?DateRange) //This gives the end date
Then send these formulas as parameters to subreport for use in the record selection formula.
I think you've already got this figured out anyway!

Disbaling No upper/lower bound value in a date range parameter

Hi folks,
When i added a new parameter with a date range , i can see two check boxes 'No lower value' and 'No upper value' along with 'include value' checkbox in the parameter dialog.
Is there any way to disable these check boxes?? If i cannot disable check boxes and when i select no lower value check box some random date value get returns to the query and the SQL query is giving no results and also i cannot set to a default lower and upper date range too.
Please help me in resolving this.
Thanks in advance.

These features are respective to the range component. If you do not need them, I would suggest that you use two date parameters. One date parameter can act as your low date parameter, and can have it's own default date. The other parameter can act as your high date parameter, and can have it's own default value.
The only change essentially, in the way the report runs, should be some minor changes to formulas, for example instead of having a selection criteria formula that says in {?DateRange}, you would now say >= {?StartDate} and <=

Dynamic date range creation for WebI query

Hi
I have a webi query where I need to provide a date range as selection. But the from date will be based on number of days that user will provide during query execution. For e.g. user will give no of days as 10 so the date range need to be created as (system date -10) to (system date).
I am not sure how to provide the option for user to input no of days and then calculate the date range.
Could you please help me here.
Regards,
Amit

Amit.
it can be done but by creating multiple objects.
create Obj1: @prompt("Enter Number Of days",N,Mono,etc..) and capture the number of days in it.
Create your second object infact a filter object: Obj2: Sysdate
Third Object(filter) Obj3: (Sysdate-(@select(class\Obj1)))
give the between condition in webi using these two objects
between Obj2 and Obj3

Dynamic date range in the variant

Hi,
We have a background job that is scheduled to run on every 25th. One step of the job has a selection screen which has a Payment date range which is to have the dates 25th of previous to the 24th of the current month.
So every month this needs to be updated dynamically. For ex: If I look at the variant of the step of the job in period 04 the date should be "03/25/2010 to 04/24/2010". If I look in Period 05 then it should be "04/25/2010 to 04/25/2010".
Can anyone tell me if this can be achieved through a variant or does this have to be put in the code?
Regards,
raj/

You can create a dynamic variant using STVARV following the steps in the given link...
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Creatingdynamicvariantusingtable+TVARV
Now, the values in TVARVC need to be updated for each period. It can be done scheduling a separate BDC program, which runs for each period and updates the values. So, your date values will be changed for a new period by the background job and program variant wil pick up automatically the values from TVARVC. Check this link, which depicts a similar kind of requirement.
Re: Update TVARVC Table Dynamically
You can also calculate the values in intialization event each time the program runs as suggested by Sumit. But, if you need a variant then it won't help. The advantage with TVARVC is you can maintain different set of variants with different values.

Dynamic Data Connection Parameter and Report Parameters

Post Author: despec
CA Forum: General
Hello to all,I am using a business view that is based on a dynamic data connection of 13 databases, each a different school. When I use the BV is a CXrystal Report (XI), it correctly, of course, uses the "read only" parameter for me to select a school. My problem arises when I try to enter a student name "list of values" parameter using that same dynamic data connection. After I select the "read only" school parameter, I then select that student name and immediately, the "read only" school parameter resets to "--". Therefore when I click okay, I get an error saying that my selection for the first parameter is invalid.Anyone have any suggestion on how I may be able to resolve this?Thanks,David

Hello,
Jsut a reminder this is not a Support Case Management system but for all to use.
Since you have BOE 3.1 you should have a valid support contract. Log into Service Market Place and create a case on line and a support Engineer will call you.
If you don't know how to then ask your Manager who is your SAP Account Super User and that person can add you to the list and give you a log in ID and password.

How would you send a date-range parameter to a SQL sproc?

Team,
MY ENVIRONMENT
SQL 2005, Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005
MY PROBLEM
I am authoring both a sproc and a report, so I have full control over the design. I am a SQL expert and also a Crystal 8.5 expert.
I have done the Sproc-Report connection dozens of times.
Please consider along with me the sequence of creating a report based on a parameterized stored procedure.
My sproc header is shown here:
CREATE Procedure dbo.usp_DocumentActivityReport(
     @Department NVARCHAR(50)
   , @DateRange NVARCHAR(50)
) AS
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM #TEMP
MY THOUGHT PROCESS
@DEPARTMENT is a string. That's easy.
@DATERANGE is a DATE RANGE and I don't know how to get Crystal Reports to prompt for a date range, so I used a String parameter knowing I can parse a specially formatted string, and knowing that I can use a formula to compute the string.
Step 1. Create the blank report, the {?Department} parameter, the {?CreationDateRange} report parameter, and the {@DateRangeText} conversion formula that converts {?CreationDateRange} to the specially formatted string.
Step 2. Test the stored procedure.
Tests pass; It returns data when I run it with values, with zero-length string values, and with NULL values.
Step 3. Tie the report to the stored procedure.
Adding the sproc directly creates two hard-wired, undeletable parameters, and returns data columns. That's no good because the user must supply the specially formatted string for the date range. So, I try using Add Command instead, with this syntax:
{call "EXP_TEST"."dbo"."usp_CorroDocumentActivityReport" (N'{?Department}', N'{@DateRangeText}')}
This code is accepted, but Add Command did not create any undeletable parameters at all. I guess that's OK.
But the worst part is that it does not show any output columns with data either! AAARGH!
Please assist with showing me the proper order to do these steps.
BTW, here's the VB Syntax formula for {@DateRangeText}:
Dim min As String
dim max as String
if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = ToText(Minimum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
max = ToText(Maximum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if IncludesLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = "[" & min
else
   if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then min = "(" & min
end if
if IncludesUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
    max = max & "]"
else
   if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then max = max & ")"
end if
'formula = min & "..." & max
formula = "(1/1/2009...3/1/2009)"

Date range parameter in heading

Post Author: hstevens
CA Forum: Formula
Given that I've successfully set up a parameter to prompt for a date range, can I now somehow use that in a heading? Is there someway to extract the dates from that? Or do I have have to set up two parameters - one for the beginning and one for the end date?
Thanks.

Post Author: Jean Antoine
CA Forum: Formula
To see all values entered, you would need to read and display every element in the array (multivalue). Something like this:
StringVar MVpos;
NumberVar nMaxLen := UBound(multivalue parameter); // sets the upper limits for the values the user entered
FOR i:=1 to nMaxLen Do
If i=1 Then
MVpos := multivalue parameter[i]
Else
MVpos := MVPos ', ' multivalue parameter[i];
Here, multivalue parameter represents the parameter you've created. You can place this formula in your header and see every entery entered.
Best of luck!
