Dynamically change the time value in the report used on user's locale?

Hello
Just a question as I have been thinking about a lot of new scenarios in OBIEE. This is an open discussion and I'd like to learn from you experts on this...
Let's say I have a report that has date, time, and stock.
The date and time are stored in a time dimension in the DB.. I also have a user table in the DB that stores user's information for authentication purpose.. The stock comes from a fact table..
So let's say it is 9am in NYC when the stock market is opened, and my company's stock value is $10/share at 9am est, April 20th.
Then I have a user who is in California, he logs on to his system at 9am pst, he show see the stock value at 9am pst, which is actually 12pm est. Then I can have a user from India, or Japan or UK that their local time may be the next day already..
If they are all coming to the same stock report and select the date and time filter say "April 20th", "9am", the resulting stock value should not be $10 like it would be for NYC users. It should be a different value corresponding to the stock value at a different est time after converting the local time zone to est..
If I want to implement this, how would i go about it?
Should The data loaded into the date dimension be kept at 1 standard time zone?
How would the system automatically know what time zone when an user logged in to the system?
Where does the conversion take place?
In summary, what would be an overall process at a high level to implement such thing?
Please share your thoughts..
Thank you

Hi Careen,
You have to go for Controller extension and add a firePartialAction event for that item,
get the handle of that event then get the bean handle where you want to set the value
and set the value to that bean.
Or you can get the VO handle and set the field's attribute(may be name) and its Form attribute(may be id).
Thanks,
With regards,
Kali.

  • Dynamically changing the report path

    Is there any way to dynamically change the path where the reports are saved. Teststand 4.1.1

    Yes you can run a VI in the ReportOptions Sequence, add it to the Setup of that sequence. If you dont use FileGlobals.Dated anywhere else then use a Local instead. Just remeber FileGlobals are only global to sequences that are contained in a SequenceFile. They are not global across SequenceFile unless you are using the Batch Process Model.
    You will probably have to set a number of other parameters up to work with ReportOptions.Directory. The best way to handle this is to setup up you exact conditions statically (ie via the Config | Report Options... menu ). Place a breakpoint in the ReportOptions (use a label if you dont have any steps in the ReportOptions sequence at the moment) and run your Sequence. Remeber to use Test UUTs or Single Pass. You dont have to use your full test sequence just create a simple one step sequence.
    When you reach the break point, then you can browse the Parameters.ReportOptions and see what properties are required to ensure your reports are setup correctly.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Go to the Report Attributes, in the Column Attributes section:
    1) Use Headings Type as PL/SQL.
    2) In the text area Function returning colon delimited headings write a PL/SQL anonymous block returning colon delimited headings.
    Hope it helps!

  • Dynamically changing the layout of thre report-urgent please

    Can we change the layout of the report dynamically during runtime for example:the user should have flexibility to change the width, size , position of columns before the report is displayed & also he choose some fields not to display as per his discretion.
    Mahesh

    There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
    - Try Reports XML Customizations
    This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
    - Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
    Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
    - Use several layouts
    You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.

  • Change the Report Title for XML Publisher, depending on the field value.

    I want to change the Report Title as below.

    Please let me know whether it is possible, if yes please guide me. how can we do it.

    Tim covered the inline if statement, though not specifically regarding a title, in his blog recently:

    The syntax is:

  • How to dynamically change the text of a TextObject with embedded DataField?

    Hi
    I'm trying to dynamically change the text of a TextObject at runtime, by using the .NET library. My problem is that if one or more DatabaseFieldDefinition is embedded inside my text, I'm unable to change the "static text" only, by keeping the field, e.g. I have :
    Text1 => "Contact Name: {Contact.Name}"
    and I'd like to change it to anything else like:
    Text1 => "Nom du Contact: {Contact.Name}"
    Half of my TextObject is static text while second part comes from the dataset.
    (of course the translation is dynamic - it is called at run-time and the new value to be set depends on the calling application language)
    If I simply modify the Text property of my TextObject, the {Contact.Name} embedded field is not evaluated anymore by the Crystal Engine, but considered as a single text.
    Using formulas or parameters looks quite difficult, because it means having many ones just for translation needs - I cannot control the way my users will create their reports and "force them" to use complex methods just in order to put a text and a value together...
    Anyone knows how to deal with that ?

    Only way I can think of doing this:
    1) Create a formula (call it lang) and enter the string "Contact Name" in it
    2) Place the  {Contact.Name} field next to the string
    3) So now you have:
    ContactName:  {Contact.Name}
    4) Check what localization you are after. If you need "Nom du Contact", change the lang formula so it shows "Nom du Contact" using the code below:
    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
    Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Dim Report As New CrystalReport1()
    Dim FormulaFields As FormulaFieldDefinitions
    Dim FormulaField As FormulaFieldDefinition
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    FormulaFields = Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields
    FormulaField = FormulaFields.Item(0)
    FormulaField.Text = "[formula text]"
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
    End Sub
    I realize this may not give you consistent spacing as the translations may have strings of differnt length. Perhaps someone has other idea(s)...

  • OBIEE 10g AGO Function Dynamically Change the Heading

    I created columns in my rpd named Sales Previous Month, Sales 2 months ago and Sales 3 months ago using the AGO Function. This is working fine.
    My problem is when displaying these headings the users would like to see the Month Name instead of the Headings I created. For example if looking at a report for January the users would like to see:
    Sales Previous Month = December
    Sales 2 Months ago = November
    Sales 3 Months ago = October
    Is there any way to dynamically change the value of the column header to show the name of the month?

    Hi SriniVEERAVALLI,
    Thanks for the reply. I have found that I might haven't created the relationship between dimension and fact tables correctly.
    I initially created the foreign key relationship (instead of creating complex join) in physical diagram between the dimension and fact table. And the relationship type is hence greyed out.
    I have deleted the foreign key relationship in physical diagram. Then
    1. In physical diagram, create complex join between dimension and fact . The relationship is 'inner' and can't be changed.
    2. In Logical table diagram, create foreign key between dimension and fact . The relationship can be changed (inner, outer, etc).
    Is this the correct way?
    I tried these on two newly created dummy tables and it worked.

  • Dynamically change the Binding of a view object

    I want to reuse a panel several times in my application. The VO has one bind parameter (:1). The same panel should be reused several times with different bind variables.
    I found a technical note concerning this issue called: How to Dynamically Change the binding of a View Object to a JClient Panel. This works for JDeveloper 9i but not for JDeveloper 19g. Does anybody know how to dynamically change the binding in JDeveloper 10g

    You may use bindRowSetIterator() and pass in a custom fetched ViewObject or a RowSetIterator to the iterator binding that is displayed in your panel.

    Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
    Thanks

    Hi Developer life,
    According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
    As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric  values) in the details,  add  an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
    the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
    If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.
    Similar threads with details steps for your reference:

    If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
    Any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Question on changing the report template to display the images

    I am trying to change the report template so that each table cell will display an image and a checkbox for the image. The column templatet for the new report template is like this:
    <td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t17data">
    <table>
    <tr height="90%"><td>
    <img src= "&F101_GET_THUMB.#COLUMN_VALUE#" onmouseover="return onmouseover_img('#COLUMN_VALUE#');">
    </td></tr>
    <tr height="10%"><td align="center" valign="bottom">
    <input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="#COLUMN_VALUE#"/>
    </td></tr>
    </table>
    </td>
    My questions are:
    1. If the #COLUMN_VALUE# is null, the table cell will display a broken image icon and a checkbox. How could I avoid this? I could add condition to this template, such as when #COLUMN_VALUE# is not null, but how to refer to the value of #COLUMN_VALUE# in pl/sql?
    2. I want to always put the checkbox at the center bottom, but no matter what I set "align='center' valign='bottom', it is always close to the image. Since the image sizes are different, the appearance of the checkbox are just up and down. How to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Fengting

    hello,
    at designtime the elements from the template are physically
    imported into the report. the only way of re-applying a template
    is to use the wizard, which will re-default the layout.

  • How to spilt columns dynamically in the report based on Date Parameters

    Hi All,
    We have an XML Publisher report in which the parameters are Fom date and To date.
    User wants the data in the report to be split dynamically based on the months in the From date and To date interval.
    Eg. if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAR-2013' then the report should show 3 columns JAN,FEB and MAR and the corresponding data.
    if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAY-2013' then the report should show 5 columns JAN,FEB,MAR,APR and MAY and the corresponding data.
    Can anyone please advise, how can we spilt the months and data dynamically in the report.
    Regards,
    Shruti

    well you wanted the columns to be added dynamically.  the easiest way would be to use a Pivot since the columns are based on the values in the data.  and if the values of that column are Month Name/Abbreviation for that date then you will get month columns.
    Have you worked with Pivots before?

  • Dynamic changing the LOV

    Hi
    we are facing some problem in Dynamic Changing the LOV.
    Lets assume the below scenario.
    I have tables like location and department table.
    In location table i have values like country name and location. For one country there will be multiple locations.
    First i need to show the unique country names in LOV. based on the country selection i need to show locations.
    all we need to achieve in same page meaning i have two lovs in one page. first one is country and second one is locations.
    pls. help us to resolve this issue.

    Why wouldn't you put two items (visible=no) on page; first of them with "select distinct..." of country on record group for LOV1 and the second with LOV2 with locations, depending of values in item1 where you took value from LOV1?
