How to pass date parameter in URL in system date format

Hi All,
I am working on a requirement where I need to pass the date parameter in URL. Where date format needs to be system default date format. How can we format date without providing specific date format.
Also, I got some post which had below example. Can you let me know what this format does.
'/analysis/report?queryGroupName=Custom-ProjectInfo&TimePeriodBeginning=', <%+%> FCI_CHARFMT(TIME_PERIOD_START_DATE),' <%+%>
'&TimePeriodBeginning_format=17&link_crumb=true'
Waiting for response.

Hi,
If you're running this in SQL*Plus, you can use substitution variables.
If you have a file called my_query.sql, like this
select    A.agent_no,
          (a.first_name || A.agent_name)     as agent_Name,
          P.Policy_No,
          D.Driver_No,
          D.mvr_predict_score,
       D.mvr_received
from        policy P,
       agent   A,
       Driver D
where       D.request_mvr_hit   = 'M'
AND       D.mvr_predict_Score > 540
And       D.request_mvr          = 'D'
AND        p.fullkey           = d.fullkey
AND       p.agent_no          = a.agent_no
AND       d.mvr_received     >= TO_DATE ('&1', 'DD-Mon-YYYY')          -- New
AND       d.mvr_received     < TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- New
order by a.agent_no,
             CASE a.producer_type
           when 'S' then 1
           when 'C' then 2
           when 'R' then 3
       end
;Then you can run it from SQL*Plus by saying something like:
@my_query 1-Jan-2009 31-Dec-2009&1 in the script will be replace by the 1st argument (1-Jan-2009) and &2 will be replaced by the 2nd argument (31-Dec-2009).
Notice that the last condition adds 1 to the argument
AND       d.mvr_received     < TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- Newbut uses the < operator (not <=). The result is that if mvr_received is any time on the last day (e.g. 31-Dec-2009 11:59 pm) will be included.

Date format for parameter data entry

I've just started working on MS SQL Server 2008 for the first time and am using Crystal XI11.5. I have a date parameter used to pick data. It works fine but the users are used to entering dates in mm/dd/yyyy format but this parameter forces users to enter using yyyy-mm-dd.
Normally I am not too concerned as there is the calendar but I have a couple of keyboard users who would like to just enter in the date format they are used to. I can't find any spot in Crystal to change the data entry format for the dates.
I do understand that SQL Server does store dates in yyyy-mm-dd format so is this why I only have this option? Any way to change it? I do have dates in the report presenting in d-MMM-yyyy format without problem, it's just the date entry prompt.
TIA rasinc

The later versions of CR will not allow you to directly edit the SQL statement. You actually have to add a Command and remove the tables from the data source. You can, if you wish, copy the SQL from the "Show SQL Query" and paste it into the Command.
The reason I tried to delete my previous comment is because it dawned on me (after I made the comment) that the date picker control itself, won't accept any format other than YYYY-MM-DD. So, while you can write the SQL to accept a variety of date formats, you won't be able use any of them while using that control.
The CR date picker control can be found (and therefore replaced by someone w/ more guts than me) in the following locations...

CRS 2008 Web Services: Date parameter format issue

Hi All,
I have CRS 2008 installations (Dev environment and TEST environment) on two machine (both are on the build 12.1.0.882). I have a web application that runs crystal reports deployed to these servers using web services. On the DEV Server , the report works fine when the reports input parameters are formatted to mm/dd/yyyy format. But TEST server (which is a new installation) does not accept a date parameter value for this report in this format and returns a "could not set date parameter" error. The report runs fine if I pass the parameter in yyyy/dd/dd format from the web-application.
I compared the regional language settings and Business Objects registry entries on both these machines, CMC settings, and they all seem to match. Am I missing something in the configuration or environment setup that is causing this issue? Appreciate any hints on solving this issue. Thanks so much.

Ajith

Hi Siva,
may i know how to do it?
as i did try to code in the begining by using String for my startDate and endDate. and it is able to consume, but currently if i change the startDate and endDate to Date. it is still able to consume when i change the date from "2008-01-30T10:00:50.342Z" to just "2008-01-30". but when i try to use adobe interactive form. the startDate and endDate i am using the Date/Time Field Type. and the Data Format is as Date. so it will just return "2008-01-30" only.
the part where i have error is when i try to do a parameter mapping from the interactive form to the web service. it is unable to map as they keep prompting that cannot map a Date to a Time Stamp.
that is why i stuck at this part.. so i try to find out how to overcome this errors now..

What is correct format to pass Today as created date parameter

I have created TFS data set (as drill through report) which is displaying all bugs based on created date. Now, I want to pass date range as parameter from main report so drill through report displays data for the bugs created between given date range. I
am getting error "string.. can not be converted to date type" I am using following formatting expression at drillthrough report parameter:
="[Work Item].[System_CreatedDate].&[" + FORMAT(Parameters!FromWorkItemSystemCreatedDate, "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]"
Please let me know what type of expression should be used to avoid error. I tried with using CDate() instead of FORMAT but still getting problem.

Hi gajeshm,
According to your description, you want to format the parameter like a date and concatenate the string into a member. Right?
In Reporting Services, only a date-like string can be converted into a date with a format. In this scenario, the issue is on the string in the parameter as the error message mentioned. If this string can't be recognized as a date, it can never be converted
into a date. You string should be like "2011/1/1", "2011-1-1","January 1, 2011" and so on. If your string is not like these, you can use left(), right() or other Text functions
to cut the string and concatenate it into date-like. Then convert and format the string.
Here are some tips when you working on this scenario:
If possible, set the Date/Time type for your parameter.
If it's a multiple value parameter, use =parameters!xxxx.Value(0) in your expression.
If you just want to use today as parameter to format, you can use now() instead of using a parameter.

SSRS - Date Parameter Format

Hi,
I have a report where I need to filter values based on dates, so i am using two parameters , From Date and To Date
I have set the parameter to be Data/time in Parameter Properties -> general tab and Also used an expression to format as mentioned in some of the Forum links for example
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/2fa790d6-bb28-4e21-8100-fd9ea64ea61b/parameter-date-format-in-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
i am not getting any error but the format will not change,
I have already Coverted my datetime values to read as date (yyyy-mm-dd)in the SQL Query but the format in the parameter is still in mm-dd-yyyy format.
Hope I am not missing something silly and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hi,
Please try below steps:
Right click dataset -> Properties
In parameter tabs -> Your Date parameter -> In value of parameter type below expression
=Format(Parameters!YourDateParameterName.value,"yyyy-MM-dd")

Format of Date parameter

Does anyone know of a fix for the Date parameter issue. I have seen a number of posts regarding the same problem.
When Crystal asks for a Date it is required in the format YYYY-MM-DD, now to a majority of database engines this would appear quite normal. To a regular user this is not normal. Here in Australia we use DD/MM/YYYY our 12 year old database was set up to reflect this and all our reports, created in Crystal 8.5, had no problem with this.
However after spending 1000's of dollars on the latest version I find that it is basically useless because none of my 100's of reports will work, due to this 'Minor' problem.
If anyone has experience with Crystal reports against an Informix database and has a workaround solution, or even someone not using Informix, please let us know.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Create a string parameter (named eg. olPrint).
The user will then input its normal way of date inputting. However it has to be in a format you specify in the caption (dd-mm-yyyy thus 1 December 2007 = 01-12-2007 and not 1-12-2007)
Then create a formula PrintDate with the syntax:
DateTime(Date(
            ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 7)),
            ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 4, 2)),
            ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 1, 2))))
If you then select your report on = {@PrintDate} it should work.
Hope this helps.
Bye

Date Format issue while creating date parameter

While creating date parameter in the crystal reports 2008 with SQL Server 2008 database connection, I want to change the date format according to the specified format in the database.
For ex: YYYY/MM/DD and MM/DD/YYYY
This paramter will be editable in the viewer i.e. I'm going to provide option to the user to change start date and end date for data selection.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance!

i found this
i am trying to get the Enter Values screen for parameters to allow entry in a specific format 'DD-MON-RRRR' connecting to an Oracle database. I found that a hack is possible yet I would prefer a clean solution that wont need files changing on client machines. The hack involved changing some javascript files within the Crystal Reports directory. The problem is I now have the date from the calendar in the correct format but it displays the following prompt: Please enter DateTime in format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss".
Is there a way to supress this or better yet a way to specify date format without changing the javascript files of Crystal Reports.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.

Sending Date parameter from the form to Report

Dear Friend
Hi everybody, I am sending the date parameter to my report through a form ,and my date format in the form and in the report as follow : DD/MM/YYYY but when I enter the date as 18/1/2004 the system pass this value as follow : 18-JAN-04 but I want the system to pass my date format as 18/1/2004 not as 18-JAN-04 ,how can I do that
Best regards
Jamil

Ino,
thanks for your answer.
You're all rigth abouth the index issue. So I've written my SQL like you say in your post. But i get an error : "ORA-... Non-character found where character expected... " or something like that. I've checked nls_date_format in my client machine and the server (DB 8.1.7.4), and also the regional settings in both machines, and all are set to 'DD-MON-YY'. What can be wrong?
Thanks again for your time.
Jaime.

Issue with Custom data parameter in Excel Data Connection

Hello,
We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
the request only for this specific case?
1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover

2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

Hi
Its simple, first of all break ur data in terms of pages. Write the logic in one JSP.
suppose i have jsp PrintReport.jsp , for page 1 url will PrintReport.jsp?page=0 ... so on
get the page parameter in JSP
String page="";
if(request.getParameter("page")!=null)
page=request.getParameter("page");
get the rowcount from the Result and assume records per page is 100
if u have 1000 rows then 10 pages u have to serve
StartRowNumber=page*recordsPerPage
EndRowNumber=StartRowNumber+recordsPerPage
Execute a SQL query , select * from table where rownum between
StartRowNumber and EndRowNumber
Provide google like pageNumbers in ur HTML page
ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 ..10
Regarding printing , Create HTML button called 'print' and add Javascript ' window.print()' on clicking it.
Hope it would solve ur problem
Cheers

SSRS Report date parameter values using SSAS Cube as datasource

Hey Guys,
i m building an SSRS report using SSAS cube as the data source. The report contains shared data-sets which provide the required data. below is the set up.
Sql server version : Sql server 2008R2
Report builder 3.0
I have, Report A, powered by Dataset D, running on Cube C. The dataset has 3 parameters out of which one of them is a date parameter- P1. I have it set up such that on the report there is another parameter - P2 which contains the type as Date ( to
ensure the user is exposed to a date picker), the input from this, P2 is then manipulated to required format before fed into the dataset parameter P1 (hidden). I have two questions regarding this parameter.
Currently, when the user pick's a date (P2) which has no values, the report errors out as it doesn't find that corresponding member on the cube. Can it be made such that if the member doesn't exists, a simple error message like "date not found"
pops up as opposed to report failing?
Secondly, can i manipulate the date picker (P2) exposed to the user such that the unavailable dates are grey'ed out on the date parameter (P2)?
Please let me know if there is any more info required on each of the questions.
Thanks

Hello Katherine,
below are the errors which pop up with the 'Constrained' function in place and without. The MDX query is what follows.
Without:
An Error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted). The Execution Failed for the shared data set “Dataset1”.(rsDataSetExecutionError). Query Execution failed for dataset ‘DataSet1’. (rsErrorExecutingCommand). The dimension ‘[10 Sep 2014]’
was not found in the cube when the string, [10 Sep 2014], was parsed.
With Constrained flag:
An Error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted). The Execution Failed for the shared data set “Dataset1”.(rsDataSetExecutionError). Query Execution failed for dataset ‘DataSet1’. (rsErrorExecutingCommand). Query(1,1476) The restrictions
imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated.

Error while passing date parameter to the XML data definition

Hi All,
I have developed a BI publisher report using XML data definition & RTF template.
This data definition contains a SQL query in it's CDATA section and runs as a concurrent program(without RDF) . We are looking to pass a date parameter to the SQL query and its not accepting the date parameter. However, when we hardcode SYSDATE in the SQL query in place of the parameter, the report runs fine. In the log file it shows that the parameter is being treated in American date style and we are using DD-MON-RRRR format. I have tried to convert the date format however still the error exists.
What we did ?
Created a XML data definition which contains the SQL query in its CDATA section & p_rundate (DATE) parameter.
Registerd the XML data definition as concurrent program with EXECUTABLE= XDODTEXE and Output format as XML with p_date as a date parameter.
Looking for any available solution for the same.
Thanks.
