Hi,
Check if this helps:
select :p_sysdate , to_char(to_date(:p_sysdate),'Day') P_SYSDATE_DAY,
       next_day( to_date('01-'||to_char(add_months(to_date(:p_sysdate), -12), 'MON-YYYY'), 'DD-MON-YYYY') - 1, to_char(to_date(:p_sysdate),'Day')) LAST_YRS_DATE,
       TO_CHAR(next_day( to_date('01-'||to_char(add_months(to_date(:p_sysdate), -12), 'MON-YYYY'), 'DD-MON-YYYY') - 1, to_char(to_date(:p_sysdate),'Day')), 'Day') LAST_YRS_DATES_DAY

Calendar Functionality for a date field in HTML of a ITS service

Hi
I am working with SRM EBP module we want to add date help(with calendar function) to existign date fields in Shopping cart and PO screens . I found some HTML and Javascripts in SYSTEM and BBPGLOBAL services (named as calendar)but not sure which ones to use if anyone used date functionality or even have access to Standard SAP ITS screens that already have date field with calendar fuctionality can you help???????????????
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Let me first thank you for the quick response and timely help you provided calendar popup works great but one minor issue i am not able to click on the date entry and bring the field back into the field not sure if this funcitonality is in show_calendar.
I would really appreciate if you get time to look at below i am almost there with your help......thanks again
Here are the steps I did
I have a HTML page SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS screen 300 in SRM module , I created a new HTML page (zcalendar.html) in the same internet service BBPSC01 as suggested and I included in my HTML page SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS screen 300 and also I added below code to add a icon and a href call to the show_calendar function.
Code works great I get the popup but when I double click on the date it is not selecting the date into the field back .
Any thoughts??????

`include (~service="bbpsc01", ~name="zcalendar.html")`


`TR()`
 `if (GS_SCR_BASIC_I-DELIV_DATE.visible)`
 `TR()`
 `if (gs_scr_basic_i-deliv_date.disabled)`
 `TD(class="label", nowrap="x",
active="")``TXT_BASIC_I-DELIV_DATE.label`
 `TD(class="label", nowrap="x", active="")``gs_scr_basic_i-deliv_date.value`
 `else`
 `TD(class="label", nowrap="x", active="")`<label
for="`GS_SCR_BASIC_I-DELIV_DATE.name`">`TXT_BASIC_I-DELIV_DATE.label`</label>
 `TD(class="data", nowrap="x")`
 <input type="text" id="GS_SCR_BASIC_I-DELIV_DATE"

Looking for Calendar functionality for a Date Variable

Hi Experts,
Currently iam creating a WEBI Report where the source system is SAP BI System. I have a BEx Query with some characteristics at the row level and keyfigures at the column level. I have a Date Interval Variable (Based on 0DATE and optional), where the user will input the From and To date to execute the query. I have created the universe on top of this query, but date inteval variable appears as a character in the form of LOV. When i use this universe and buid the report in WEBI, the User Prompt for date is appearing as List of date values for this date interval variable, where as my requirement is to have date calendar for this date interval variable.
I did some r&d on top of this, when the date varibale as single value and optional, iam able to get the date calendar, but when i use the Date interval Varibale it takes as a character. I searched the forum, but i didn't find any solution.
Is it possible to have a date calendar for a date interval variable in BEx?? or its is only for single value date varibale.
Kindly suggest
Regards
Santosh

Hi,
you stated it correctly that the calendar shows up in case of a keydate and in case of a single value but not in case of a range.
in addition the underlying characteristic needs to be type DATS

for eg. DEPARTMENT SUB GROUP should return DSG..
Pls do share with me if any 1 is aware of this or who has already self defined any function for this purpose.
Thanks in Advance

And if you have 10g available, here's the regex version:
with t as (select 'DEPARTMENT SUB GROUP' col1
from dual)
select t.col1, regexp_replace(t.col1, '(\w)\w*\s*', '\1')
from t;Small correction, just in case we only have 1 letter words.

Hello,
I am getting my Input as 111213 where 11 denotes HH 12 denotes mm 13 denotes ss. I need ti insert : between hh:mm:ss
Please help me achieving a code for below logic
I have used standard date transformate function, there i am getting spaces as separator in my input resulting an errors i am sending without spaces.
What do you mean by spaces? Can you try the mapping below?
inputDate -> replaceString -> dateTrans(inputDateFormat: HHmmss outputDateFormat: HH:mm:ss) -> target
Constant: -> /
Constant:-> /
Hope this helps,

Hey Swetha,
Try this code:
select case when 1=2 then "Time Dim - Headcount".Date else CAST(MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(2)) ||'/'|| CAST(DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(2)) ||'/'|| CAST(YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(4)) from cobalt
It's not the most elegant solution, but it'll get you there. Ideally there would be a way to use date masking syntax, but I've tried the syntax I'm familiar with [MM/DD/YYYY] but that didn't change anything.
Good luck!

Including a date in a photo caption and being able to use the search function for the date

I have included both a text and a date as part of the photo caption on each of my photos. When I have attempted to search for a specific date or year, however, nothing comes up. For example, if I search for my photo on "Fido 1985", I can find Fido, but if I simply enter "1985", I get nothing.

Use Find >> By Caption Name or Note menu option for such a search.
Thanks

Time series functions are not working in OBIEE for ESSBASE data source

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in OBIEE as I am getting error messages for measure columns with Time series functions(Ago,ToDate and PeriodRolling) in both RPD and Answers.
Error is "Target database does not support Ago operation".
But I am aware of OBIEE supports Time Series functions for Essbase data source.
using Hyperion 9.3.1 as data source and obiee 11.1.1.5.0 as reporting tool.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi,
is because the time series function are not supported for the framentation content, see the content of the oracle support:
The error occurs due to the fact the fragmented data sources are used on some Time series measures. Time series measures (i.e. AGO) are not supported on fragmented data sources.
Confirmation is documented in the following guide - Creating and Administering the Business Model and Mapping Layer in an Oracle BI Repository > Process of Creating and Administering Dimensions
Ago or ToDate functionality is not supported on fragmented logical table sources. For more information, refer to “About Time Series Conversion Functions” on page 197.

RFC fetching data from table which is not commited

Hi Experts,
               I have a query regarding commit work.Below is the RFC that i have written
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CREATE.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" TABLES
*"      IT_ZABAP_RFC STRUCTURE ZBAPI_RFC_STR OPTIONAL
*"      RETURN STRUCTURE BAPIRET2 OPTIONAL
CALL FUNCTION 'ZBO_BAPI_CREATE'
TABLES
   IT_ZABAP_RFC       = IT_ZABAP_RFC
   RETURN             = return
Break-point.
DATA lt TYPE TABLE OF ZBAPI_RFC_STR_MAIN.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZBAPI_SEARCH_RANGE'
* EXPORTING
*   IS_STR        =
TABLES
   ET_TAB        = lt
*   RETURN        =
ENDFUNCTION.
here in first RFC call i am creating a record in ZTABLE , and then at break-point
i check the ZTABLE where it does not create any record because data is not commited into ZTABLE upto this point, but just after it i have written code for fetching data from ZTABLE but i am able to get this new record in lt.
Can anybody please explain that from where this serach RFC is providing data because inside serach i am simply selecting data from ZTABLE.
Regards,
Abhishek Bajpai

Hi Thomas,
                 Thanks for reply , i checked in ZTABLE ,before search RFC call data is not there but if i commit explicitly only then it is showing data in ZTABLE. Actually my requirement is different -
I have two RFCs 1. Create 2. Search , Now from web dynpro user will call first Create RFCs but at this point it should not insert record in ZTABLE and just after it user will call another search RFC and in this search he should be able to get these newly created records.
I want to have the functionality which a user gets when working with normal database front end like SQLPLus for Oracle. In these scenarios we see that whenever user does any insert or update the data sits in the table but still it is not committed. So there he fires Select query he sees the inserted data. But if he logs off from SQL PLUS and then logs in again, and fires Select query he does not see the data as it was not committed. I want a similiar functionalty in which if user inserts the data through Create RFC and fires the Select query through Search RFC then he can see the newly Created data also even though this data is not committed.
Although if i call create RFC in update task it will not update ZTABLE but in this situation , if user will call search RFC he will not be able to get newly created records.
So my requirement is that i should be able to get those records which are not commited in ZTABLE .If you have still any doubt regarding my question then please let me know.
Regards,
Abhishek

Fetching Data from SAP ECC to BODS 4.0

HI,
I am trying to fetch tables like LFA1 and ADRC into BODS from ECC. I am able to connect to the ECC system from BODS.
In Data services Designer I go to Datastore and add a new datastore as SAP Applications.
I am able to connect to ECC using this. After that when I select the datastore and select import by name i get the following error
Data Services Designer
Error: Cannot import the metadata table <name=LFA1>.
RFC CallReceive error <Function Z_AW_RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE- SAP System has status 'not modifiable'[SAP NWRFC 711][SAP Partner 701 ][PET][hicgudb3][BOBJDS][4102]>. (BODI-1112339)
OK
Can you please help me in resolving this.
What kind of access does the user need to have for fetching data from ECC using BODS
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
The Select statment accessing MSEG Table is Slow Many a times.
To Improve the performance of MSEG.
1.Check for the proper notes in the Service Market Place if you are working for CIN version.
2.Index the MSEG table
2.Check and limit the Columns in the Select statment .
Possible Way.
SELECT MBLNR MJAHR ZEILE BWART MATNR WERKS LIFNR MENGE MEINS
EBELN EBELP LGORT SMBLN BUKRS GSBER INSMK XAUTO
FROM MSEG
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB
WHERE WERKS EQ P_WERKS AND
MBLNR IN S_MBLNR AND
BWART EQ '105' .
Delete itab where itab EQ '5002361303'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5003501080'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5002996300'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5002996407'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5003587026'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5003587026'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5003493186'
Delete itab where itab EQ '5002720583'

Doubt in Fetching data from a View

Hi all,
I want a data from a view v_tvko.How to use a view in program for fetching data from that.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Nithin.

Hi Nitin,
We can't directly refer a view to get data.
We need to refer the tables using which a view has been created.
Using those tables, we can fetch the data as per our requirement.
For suppose, if you go to a view in SE11, then click on Tables tab, there you can get the reference tables.Then you need to check for the fileld in those tables for which you require the data.
Post the query directly on the table instead of view.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Anand.

Slow Speed While fetching data from SQL 2008 using DoQuery.

Hello,
I am working for an AddOn and tried to use DoQuery for fetching data from SQL 2008 in C#.
There are around 148 records which full fill this query condition but it takes much time to fetch the data.
I wanna know that is there any problem in this code by which my application is getting slower.
I used break Points and checked it, I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time.
Code:
// Get an initialized SBObob object
oSBObob = (SAPbobsCOM.SBObob)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoBridge);
//// Get an initialized Recordset object
oRecordset = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
string sqlstring = "select DocEntry,ItemCode From OWOR where OWOR.Status='R' and DocEntry not in ( Select distinct(BaseRef) from IGE1 where IGE1.BaseRef = OWOR.DocEntry)";
oRecordset.DoQuery(sqlstring);
var ProductList = new BindingList<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("", "---Please Select---"));
while (!(oRecordset.EoF))
ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString(), oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString() + " ( " + oRecordset.Fields.Item(1).Value.ToString() + " ) "));
oRecordset.MoveNext();
cmbProductionOrder.ValueMember = "Key";
cmbProductionOrder.DisplayMember = "Value";
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi Sharma

Hi Ravi,
your code and query look correct. But can you ellaborate a little bit.
It seems to be a DI API program ( no UI API ) ?
When you say "I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time." do you mean the recordset query or the DI API connection to SBO ? The later would be "normal" since the connection can take up to 30 seconds.
To get data it is usually better to use direct SQL connections.

Maik
