How to handle date prompt in report

Hi I have date column on database as timestamp.
Now need to apply filter in report based on date prompt.
Do i nee to cast it in Date format..or how i can do it.
thanks,

Hi User,
Which versionof obiee are you in? If you are on 10.1.3.4.1 version, apply PATCH 9492821 to fix this issue.
Can you do the following checks,
In the repository physical layer, set the column to have a data type of date
In the BMM layer, where the column is mapped, edit the column mapping to contain a CAST function to cast as date
Regards,
Dpka

How to exctract data from a report to use it in a process

Hi! I would like to know how to exctract data from a report to use it in a process. Let's say that I have a report which have following fields: id_person, name_person. And then, I want to make a process which introduce the id_person (from report) into an associative tabel. How can I reffer to the fields from my report?
I was thinking about something like that( this should be the code from my process)
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(id_person) or
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(Report_name.id_person) but it doesn't work....
Thank you very much.

Another option, use collections.
Create an on load process that loads all the rows you would have in your report into a collection:
begin
HTMLDB_COLLECTION.CREATE_OR_TRUNCATE_COLLECTION(
p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS' );
for x in (SELECT CONTACT_ID, CONTACT_FNAME, CONTACT_LNAME
FROM CONTACT
WHERE InStr( pkg_CalendarMgr.f_FetchContactIDsForDay( TO_DATE( :P3_CALENDAR_DT, 'YYYYMMDD' ), 'OF' ), CONTACT_ID ) > 0 )
loop
htmldb_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS',
p_c001 => x.CONTACT_ID,
p_c002 => x.CONTACT_FNAME,
p_c003 => x.CONTACT_LNAME);
end loop;
end;
Then, instead of your report selecting from the table, have it select from the collection, this way your display will match what's in the collection:
SELECT c001, c002 || Chr(32) || c003 CONTACT_NAME, 'Remove' remove
FROM htmldb_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS'
ORDER BY c003, c002
Then you can have a button on the form that steps through the collection, one element at a time and does whatever you want it to.

Model of how APEX handles data (values)?

Reference {thread:id=2486655}
I'm trying to get a model of how APEX handles data (values). There are several places(?) that data (values) can exist. Or so it seems. I'm trying to understand how these work -- to put all the pieces together.
Question:
A) Where data can be?
1) In the database
2) In the session
3) Rendered -- and hence displayed on the screen, if a displayed value -- but not in the session
4) In perhaps(?) some working memory pool(?) but different from the page rendered values I see on the screen?
5) Other?
Why do I think this is relevant?
Question:
B) If there are rendered values and session values different from the rendered values, then when code executes, which of these values (rendered or session) is it executing against?
And maybe the answer is, "You don't understand what's going on." Yes, "Exactly!" Hence the question.
Best wishes,
Howard

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
I'm putting this together now. For example:
I set the value of a Page Item (say, :P2_DATA) to "BEFORE" in a Before Region process and change it to "AFTER" in an After Region Process. 'BEFORE' was displayed on the screen but 'AFTER' was in the session state. So I see that PL/SQL changes these values in the session state. But it doesn't "go back" to change the HTML after the region has been rendered -- hence we see BEFORE shown on the screen. (I'll have to think about what a Dynamic Action does.)
Also, if a page item has a default value, say 'DEFAULT' then that value doesn't get into the session state. At least, not with my current settings. Oh, that explains a lot of confusion!! I suppose there's a logical reason for this but who would expect default values to be differently from other PL/SQL operations on the item?
Questions:
1) So why does a default value not get put into the session state?Several reasons, among them:
*1. When/why is the value required?* Region items (and thus their source and default values) are rendered in region/item sequence order. The item's source/default value would therefore not be available in session state until it's rendering point. This is frequently later in page show processing than the value is actually required, such as the common use case of including a data value in the page or region title. Setting the value in a Before Header/Regions computation or process makes it available as required before the item is actually rendered.
*2. The rendered page might not be submitted.* Default values are typically set when a page will create a new row. Consider the situation where the user clicks a "Create" button and is presented with an order entry form containing several default values. They then decide they don't want to create a new order after all, and navigate away from the form page via some mechanism that uses a redirect rather than a submit (such as a default "Cancel" button). This means that no page submit processing is performed, and generally that no session state management is performed. If the default values were set in session state, the order entry page would contain the default values for the non-existent order despite the user never submitting it. This may have unwanted side-effects if these values are referenced elsewhere in the application, and therefore would require extra session state management to be built into the application.
*3. A rendered item might not be submitted with the page.* Per the HTML specification, the values of disabled controls unchecked checkboxes are not POSTed on page submit. Consider a situation where a checkbox item is set with several default values, but the application requires that the checkboxes be cleared and disabled by a dynamic action if the user chooses certain options from a select list. In this case, on page submission no values are submitted into session state for the checkbox item. If the defaults had been set in session state, then the application would be in an inconsistent state, with the user-selected option indicating that none of the checkboxes were checked, but with session state holding values showing that they were. This would require additional processing to ensure that the application's state was consistent before saving it to the database.<sup>1</sup>
2 & 3 are particularly significant in basic wizard-generated applications. Doing things in this way, the wizard-generated DML and navigation "just works", without the need for additional session state management.
2) Is there a Page Item setting that causes the default value to be saved to the session state?No. Hopefully the explanations above provide sufficient reason to show why this is genearlly not desirable. On the rare occasions when it is required, set the session state value using a computation or process.
<sup>1</sup> There are other reasons—mainly security related—that make it good practice to perform such checks in more complex and internet-facing applications anyway.

How to handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?

Hi, Gurus.
I am working on IFbA with ABAP and Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
I've developed a function module in R/3 system and created webservice, connected the WSDL address to the form. The problem is how can i handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?
It's Ok if i bind the dataconnection node to the form element, but how can i handle data without binding to the form element? I mean that how can i use the data retrieved from Webserivce in the Javascript, please give me some sample code or script method.
Thanks.

Hi Yang,
If you are using Web Service, then the binding will be done automatically.
It can't grow automatically, what else should i do to achieve this?
1.Select the table(make sure you are not selecting subform) in Hierarchy view
2. Under table select the Row which is having the required fileds for data
3. In the Binding of that row, check the checkbox "Repeat Row for each item data" and under that check the Min Count which will set the default row **** to 1

How to generate data model summary report

Hi,sir,
How can I generate a summary report when I create a server data model in designer 9i as some software did.
I know CA Erwin or Sybase powerdesigner have a good report builder.
It is easy to use. How about designer 9i?
Any tutorial?

Hi,
It's look like you are assuming that an organizational model can be created from external data input via a report. If so, then your assumption is wrong. There is no standard way to create a org. model from external input.
As a standard practice SAP provided a report as mentioned in the previous reply. Using this report you can download ECC/R3 org. model into SAP CRM. This is the easy and best proven way of generating org. model in SAP CRM.
Please let me know, if you need any further clarification
Do not forget to reward if it helps

How to handle data in a request object

I want to know the best way to handle data received from sql query to display on a jsp page and for page navigation. If I store data in a request object then the data is lost after displaying first page. When user hits Next link to view more data I need to do another query to database which I want to avoid. I display only 20 rows at a time. So if my query returns 100 rows I display 5 pages. I need to retain data when user hits next to view other pages. What is the best way to handle this?

By caching your resultset. There are caching custom tags that perform this function. Check out http://www.servletsuite.com/jsp.htm.

How to get date prompts from one date column

i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanks

you can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

How to convert data from a report in PDF which are specified on multiple lines ?

It often occurs that in a report one detail entry is folded onto two subsequent lines.
e.g.
No.
Container          Lt Ht Tp F/E     Dam          Weight Temp     Bi Im First Seal     No. Cell     Booking ref.
In Arr    id     A         Tml         PoL PD   PoD             C T L R F B
1       XXXU123456-7 20 ST I F                        24.000                                  SLX11            1    25A     CVA12345
How does the conversion to Excel is going to handle this ?
I need the second line of data in my excel sheet.
YES               9/10   14:15        BEANR   REFCT

Hello Jay,
Don't use SSIS to convert. Use SSIS to FTP the files out.
How you convert to PDF: the format is owned by Adobe so there might be royalties involved, but there are paid and free (OSS) libraries to doing so. Just search online.

How to Handle Data Loads in BW

Hi friends,
we are almost on the verge of completing the development, and are planning to go live very soon, but before that we need to make sure the number of records getting loaded (from R/3 to BW)are in sync. If the user says that there are so many records for the Area currently, how do we handle this to happen in BW?? when the number of data packets keeps increasing how do we update the same to our targets,
If there are any steps or procedures to habdle the data loads , after and before GOLIVE , can someone please let me know(Data sizing, Loading, and archiving),
If the client tells that these many records are expected, how should we handle these situations??
Your input is really appreciated.
Thanks alot in advance,

Hi,
Best way to ensure that is after your data has been loaded to BW, run a report and verify the results. They should match per the logic or any filter criteria with the R3 area numbers.
In most cases the number of records might not match so doing a comparision of how many records were sent and how many got uploaded through the monitor will not be a good comparision.
For increasing data volumes go through the following thread on Performance tuning :

Data Reconciliation :
Reconciliation of a BW and R3 data
Re: Reg -- reconciliation process.

How to save data in a report?Urgent...

hi all,
I'm doing a project in java to create report generator..After creating a report i have to save the report..For that i have to save the datas & the program to execute the data..My doubt is that how i would store the data?.According to my idea i created a table that contains the field names for report header,date ,fieldcount etc..how to store the field values?Because different people selecting different fields from a table..How could i store the values?is it to create each table for storing field values for each report?Could you please clarify my doubt as soon as possible?
Regards
Preethi

hi,
Thanks so much for your quick reply..i'll clear my doubt..I'm doing a project in java that helps to create reports for java programs(same concept as that of crystal repots)..For that I made 3 tabs in a tabpane.The first tab consists of Mainpanel(to select the database,then table, fields and report header)..The next tab is the Design tab.This tab consists of ReportHeader,PageHeader,Detail Section etc.In this tab there are facilities to adjust the font size,font type,the position of each headings and field positions.And final tab is the Preview tab.Here the reports can be viewed with the selected font and with data for each field..Here i have to give an option to save the report.To save the report i have to save the data and the code necessary to execute these datas.i think i have to store the font type,font size,the x && y position that the user selected at the time of design.My doubt is how could I save these values?by using database & table concept or by using FileOutPutStreams..The number of field sthe user selected may be diffreent for each of the file?Didi you get my doubt?Hope you got it..

How to compare dates in Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I cannot figure out how to compare the dates in the Crystal reports.
I need all dates that are in the future to be displayed with the green font.
So in the formula for the font for this texbox I've tried to use different
formulas like:
If DateDiff("d", CurrentDate, {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Anticipated}) > 1
Then
     crGreen
or
If {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Anticipated} > CurrentDate Then
     crGreen
(where DevelopmentTracking_SELECT is the stored procedure, and Anticipated
is a date field).
None of them worked. All dates are treated like they were in the past
comparing to the CurrentDate. If I reverse these formulas like:
If {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Anticipated} < CurrentDate Then
     crGreen
then all dates turn to green, otherwise they always stay black.
What could be a problem here?
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you.

OK, got it, thank you. It worked.
However, I also need to use another field value which is not on the report, like this:
If CurrentFieldValue < CurrentDate And {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed} = False Then
crRed
DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed is not on the report.
Is it possible to use it with the cross-tab?

How to fetch data to APEX Report using stored procedure?

hi all,
i am making a report in APEX. user selects two dates and clicks GO button - i have a Stored Procedure linked to that result region so Stored Procedure gets called.
my stored procedure does the following -
using specified dates (IN) i do query and put data into a table (this table has been created only for this report) -
i want to show all these data i entered into the table on my APEX report in the same procedure call. can i use ref cursor to return? how to do that?
currently, i use another button in APEX which basically fetches all data from table. basically, user clicks one button to generate report and then another button to get report. which is not desirable at all :(
i m using APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and Oracle 10 database.
pls let me know if you need further clarification of the problem. thanks in advance.
regards,

How to handle Exceptions in Oracle Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2?

We are using Oracle Reports Builder 10g 10.1.2.0.2, Windows XP with Oracle 10g database. The reports are converted into JSP reports.
How and where do we write exception handling code in Reports Builder? We want to achieve the following:
1. Display a customized JSP page with customized error message
2. Allow users to cancel the report execution, if possible and then direct them to the parameter form with all the values they entered before.
Once we write these codes in the Oracle Report Builder where will it show in .jsp files?
Thanks
