Formatting a date according with user settings (user defaults)

Hi All,
I need to format a date I receive via JS in YYYYMMDD format according with user defaults <b>without</b> server side action (I know, this is not a good issue, but they want it).
My solution is to write a JS function (there are a lot of it on WWW) which accepts two strings and formats the first according to the second, something like:
userFormattedDate = formatDate('20060613','DD.MM.YYYY');
paying attention to generate 'DD.MM.YYYY' string on server side, according to user settings.
But if this isn't a weblog, where is the question? :-D
The question is: is there a JS function (in DatePicker or dateNavigator BSP) provided by standard libraries which serves similar functionality?
Does exist a JS public standard library?
Thanks.
Dany

Hi Durairaj,
Tags <% %> are for server side actions.
The question is about obtaining the same effect, but client side.
Thanks.

Value conversion according to User default

Hi,
I have a Problem in a BDC. I am trying to populate pick quantity filed in my BDC ( Tcode VL02N ) the BDC works fine for a particular user default setting( NNN,NNN.NN ). But is the same program is used by some other user whose Default settings are different ( NNN.NNN,NN ) BDC fails .
I need to convert the value based on user default before passing it to the field in BDC.
pl. suggest me the solution .
Thanks.
Hitesh

Hi
Try to use the WRITE command before transfering the value to BDC table
DATA: QUANTITY(20) TYPE C.
WRITE <QUANTITY> UNIT <UNIT> TO QUANTITY.
<BDC>-VALUE = QUANTITY.
APPEND <BDC>.
In this way the WRITE statament'll write the quantity in the format according to user default parameters.

Date according to user requirement

Hi experts
I have a selection-screen date field when user enter date with the help of F4 it shows error message like this
Input date format like this                 :   09/01/2010
Please Enter date in the format       : __.__.____   like this
is there any function modules to convert date like this format .
Thanks & Regards
Siva Krishna.

To solve this purpose, a function module has been created which takes the date and format (in which date needs to be converted) as input and gives the date in the desired format as output. It also raises an exception if the format is incorrect.
For achieving this functionality, a ztable is to be created which contains all the possible formats of a date. Then the format given on the screen is to be validated against this table.

Unable to Access Data Form with Users Provisioned as 'Planner'

Hello,
I am currently experiencing an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I was hoping someone else might have some insight and/or have come across this issue.
I created two data forms. Users have been assigned permissions to the dimensions included in the data form. I have also assigned users access to the data form. The model is a single currency model.
Upon logging into the application, the user is unable to open the data form unless he/she is provisioned as an 'Administrator'. Provisioning the user as a 'Planner' or 'Interactive User' does not allow the user to open the data form. The following message appears:
*"Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form."*
My data form uses the following dimensions:
POV: ELEMENT
PAGE: SCENARIO, YEAR, VERSION, ENTITY
ROWS: ACCOUNT
COLUMNS: PERIOD
We are currently implementing Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.0. The operating system is Windows Server 2008 64-bit R2.
Any advice/suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Corey

I went ahead a created a data form that just used level 0 members and confirmed that the user had access to the members defined in the form. Still no luck.
I also checked to make sure the filters existed in Essbase. Here is what I found in Essbase:
Access: None
Member Specification: @IDES("Account"),@IDES("Scenario"),@IDES("Version"),@IDES("Entity"),@IDES("NTTA_ELEMENT")
I have no issues accessing the data through the Essbase Add-in.
I did notice some additional items in my Planning setup:
1. Task>Manage Process - Sub-Status states 'Failed' when I attempt to validate
2. Task>Manage Process - Status changes from 'Not Started' to 'Under Review' when I start the cycle.
3. Dimension Security - Users are attached to a group that has write access at the Descendent(Inclusive) level.
4. In the Account, Department, Scenario and Version dimensions I also setup the user to have write access at the member level.
As for my earlier post with the data forms, that was just my way of showing the dimensions used. I do have two data forms, 1) with top level and descendants/children and 2) with level 0 members only.
I checked the logs and there isn't really much info there. I have a case open with Oracle and a webex scheduled for tomorrow.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Corey

FORMCALC (or JS) Default date today with user override questions

I have a date field where if null, I want today to be inserted. If the user overrides the today date and saves the form, I want the user entered date to stay.
What I have in FORMCALC is:
if ($.isNull)
then
$.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(2))
endif
The first part works, it populates with today, and I can overrided the date. When I save and then reopen the form, the date is "0".
Any ideas here?

I'm having the same problem as described above but I am using JavaScript to reflect the current date:
var msNow = (new Date()).getTime();
var d1 = new Date(msNow);
this.rawValue = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d1);
The user can override the current date and save the form, BUT when the form is reopened it will run again and insert the current date over the user entered date.
(I've tried several variations of "if (this.isNull)" to the above code which results in "01/00/0000" when opening the saved form --so it still doesn't retain the date entered by the user.)
Does anyone know what code I need to add to to keep the user entered date that was saved with the form? Or if there is a better way to make the date calendar default to today, allow user override and save that user entered date on the form?

Open XML file with user default browser and not the default editor.

Hi,
I'm writing a java program that appends numerous XML files together. The result is a NEW well formed XML document. Since i have an XSLT that performs several UI modifications on this xml file, the file extension must remain '.xml'. I need to open this xml file with the users default web browser. The problem is that:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
....opens the xml file with the users default program for opening xml files which in my case is Oxygen. I want to force java to open this xml file with the users default web browser and nothing else.
I guess i need the Windows command to perform the 'open with' feature but i have no idea what that command is or how to find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Varun Singh

People do not often ask questions (or make challenges or observations) idly for the sake of 'theory'. It is most useful to explain to the best of your ability.
As to
"Since the Desktop class was only released with SE 6 I am forced to find another alternative. "
There is an 'alternative'. You can import it into a 1.5 project. It was available as a free standing API before 1.6 - through JDIC. See [https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html|https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html] for more info.

Report layout with User default and gobal default

hi,
any authorization to control report layout, only some user ID can use "user default" layout, and part of user available to set the layout as default
thanks

Is is a custom-developed ALV report or an SAP-supplied one?
If if is custom-developed, you can register the following user-commands
&AVE - Save layout
&OL0 - Change layout
&OAD - Select layout
in parameter IT_EVENT_EXIT of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. When these user-commands are triggered, control passes to the user command routine in your callback program. In the callback routine, you can implement authorization/security checks.
Also look at parameters IS_VARIANT and I_SAVE to control use of variants.,
If it is an SAP-supplied program, try using the auth-object mentioned in my earlier post.

Formatting DATEs with FORMAT clause and not with "to_date()" ?

Well I know I could format a DATE inline with the to_date() function.
But is there a way to format it in a separate FORMAT clause similar to
numbers?
If yes how would a format of
dd.mm.yyyy
or
yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss
look like?

user559463 wrote:
Ok, again I am searching something like
COLUMN "expiry" FORMAT "YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS"No, it can only be done via TO_CHAR or NLS_DATE_FORMAT. I think you should read SQL*Plus COLUMN command.

Error when executing Query with user date settings = mm/dd/yyyy

Hi all,
I created a remote cube with datasource = TCURR table with proper conversion of the date etc.
The query on top of this remote cube works fine if my user date settings is set to dd.mm.yyyy
But when a user in USA, with user date settings = mm/dd/yyyy, executes the same query, they get a message
SYST: Date 31/05/2006 not expected.
Message no. FGV004
The input variable on the Query is on 0CALMONTH.
This message appears immaterial of what calmonth input I give.
has anyone encountered this error? if yes, what could be the solution please?
thanks
Emmanuel

Hi,

http://web.mit.edu/sapr3/docs/webdocs/getstarted/gsSETTINGS.html
You need to change the settings as required.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

In LSMW flat file date format to be converted to user profile date setting.

hi all,
i got a flat file in which date is in mm/dd/yyyy format.i converted the data using lsmw but this conversion is valid only if user has set his date profile as mm/dd/yyyy in his user profile setting->own data. now if user has some other setting then it will give error. so how to convert date and how to do mapping with same . please help.

Sunil,
use below fm to get current user date format:
data: idate TYPE sy-datum,
          tdat8 type string.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATUMSAUFBEREITUNG'
     EXPORTING
       IDATE                 = idate
     IMPORTING
        TDAT8                 = tdat8.

Filter omni portlet output data according to portal user

We have created an omniportlet that connects to a database, and retrives some values into a defined HTML layout.
We want to filter output data according to our portal current user name
When we try to use portal.wwctx_api.get_user inside of omni portlet select statement fallowing error occurs.
Error in executing Query : [ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1803 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1637 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1865 ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 183 ]
Thanks a lot

This is because the Omniportlet is actually operating within a different context--a separate database connection from the Portal connection. We have similar issues with Java portlets. You might try creating a public parameter on the portlet, then mapping that to the system variable USER (done on the Parameters tab of the page where you deploy it--if you don't see a parameters tab, you must enable Parameters and Events at the page group properties level). I haven't tested any of this, but it should get you going in the right direction.
