Incorrect date format on report instance

Hi,
I have a problem (well a question) relating the the instance detail information behind a report instance in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI3.1 SP2 FP2.5. On one of my servers I can view the history of a report thorough InfoView and then select the link in the 'Status' colum. This displays the 'Instance details' page. On this page the 'Creation Time', 'Expiry', etc. are shown in the format dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss. But, on my other server the same page shows these records as 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss'.
I suspect that there is a server setting to be made somewhere, but where?
Any ideas please?
Mike

Hello,
Found it. I run my SIA under a service account and not a user account. This service account was using the wrong Regional settings. When changed to the correct Regional settings the reports showed the dates in the correct format.
Thanks for looking.

En-CA Language has incorrect Date Format in SSRS report

When I set the Language on a Report to "en-CA", then dates are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.
This differs from the OS default format of yyyy-mm-dd for en-CA.
Is there any way to tweak the date format for a specific Language in SSRS?
Please don't say I need to add Format() calls to all of the dates in the reports... What I want to do is just give SSRS the correct date format for "en-CA" and let it do the work of formatting automatically.

Hi Andy,
In Reporting Services, by default, formats for date are determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. This language is determined by the regional
settings of the computer.
Generally, the report server language supports for all ten of the SQL Server languages. But the en-CA language is not supported by SQL Server. In this way, the report server uses the mostly closely matched language of the operating system as the language.
For example, the operating system is Canada English. Because Canada English and U.S. English are in the same language family, it chooses the SQL Server language resource that most closely matches Canada English (in this case U.S. English). So the date format
uses en-US format.

Incorrect date format in excel reports

Hi,
Some Activity exported from Activity overview to excel have wrong date format. For example
Some have 21/04/2008 u2013 Correct
Some have 13/04/09 u2013 Incorrect
All the dateu2019s in the database seems to be correct like '2008-04-13 00:00:00.000'.
Client is using SAP B1 2005 SP01 PL-48. Is there any know issue?
I tried the same in B1 2007 upgrading the database. All the date seems to be correct when I export it here.
What may be the reason?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Mohan

Hi Gordon,
It took some time for me to verify in the client machine.
I have changed the date format in both Business One and in the regional settings to DD/MM/YY. It seems to be ok however the appearances of date column in excel seems to be uneven.
04/10/09
04/11/09
       13/04/09
       14/04/09
       19/04/09
(Ignore the *)
I think, the problematic dates seem to be exported to excel in the paste special text format.
Any Idea why this is happening?
Regards,
Mohan

Filtering data in historic report instances

My goal is to filter data in a managed report instance without refreshing it. But I am having issues even viewing an instance. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 Server and the RAS API. Code below displays reports fine (i.e. SI_INSTANCE=0) but not report instances (i.e. SI_INSTANCE=1).
Approach 1, Use reportSource from PSReportFactory:
//Here is my query:
String reportQuery = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " + "WHERE SI_NAME = '" + report.getName() +
"' AND SI_KIND = '" + CeKind.CRYSTAL_REPORT + "' AND SI_INSTANCE = 1";
// Here I grab the latest report instance
IInfoObjects reports = iStore.query(reportQuery);
IInfoObject oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
IReportSourceFactory factoryPS = (IReportSourceFactory)es.getService("PSReportFactory");
Object reportSource = factoryPS.openReportSource((oInfoObject), getLocale());
// Here I prep and attempt to display
viewer.setReportSource( reportSource );
viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos( newDBConnectionInfos() );
viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt( false );
viewer.setBestFitPage(true);
viewer.setOwnPage(false);
viewer.processHttpRequest();
processHttpRequest above throws:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Invalid job number.---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal
Approach 2, use ReportClientDocument from RASReportFactory...
// Same query as above:
String reportQuery = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " + "WHERE SI_NAME = '" + report.getName() +
"' AND SI_KIND = '" + CeKind.CRYSTAL_REPORT + "' AND SI_INSTANCE = 1";
// Here I grab the latest report instance
IInfoObjects reports = iStore.query(reportQuery);
IInfoObject oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
IReportAppFactory raf = (IReportAppFactory)es.getService("RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument rcd = raf.openDocument(oInfoObject, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly, getLocale());
// Here I prep and attempt to display
viewer.setReportSource(rcd.getReportSource());
This approach throws an exception from
raf.openDocument()
with error:
Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_NEWOBJECT was not found in the collection.
Of these approaches I prefer the second as I can potentially filter the data.
Any ideas or help greatly appreciated as I am new to crystal reports.

Good call Ted, and thanks for the reply! I had a bunch of Failed instances and it was choking on a failed one.
Now that I have identified a successful instance, I'm having trouble displaying the historical report data.
When I attempt to display using the PSReportFactory, from first approach above, it displays the report but I
don't get historic data, i.e. it is refreshing from the database. Of course historic data display works in the
CMC so I'm sure it must be possible. How can I get the viewer to show the data as it was when the report
was run?
Also, using the preferred RASReportFactory, from second approach, I get the following exception:
ReportSDKServerException: Failed to retrieve initial report values. For example, the database information for this report could be incomplete or
incorrect. This is a configuration problem. Please contact your system administrator.---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
This seems odd as I am passing the database logon infos to the viewer, and it works the other way:
viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos( newDBConnectionInfos() );
viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt( false );
Any ideas about how I can get it to work this way?
Thanks,
--Jeff.

Date format on report

Hi Everyone!
I have a date format that is in the footer of my report. The format is set with the following: fmDay Month DD RRRR HH:MI AM and this is what I want, but when it prints out I get the following: Monday September 24 2001 11:0 AM . I would think I should get Monday September 24 2001 11:00 AM . I need the other part of the minute to show up. Now, it does show up if I have Monday September 24 2001 11:15 AM. I really need for the whole date format to show up. If I change the format to mm/dd/rrrr HH:MI AM then I don't get the day which I really need to show up in the footer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
~Vannette ([email protected])

Please change your current date format [to]
fmDay Month DD RRRR fmHH:MI AM
Neeraj Vannette -
To explicate, recall that FM is a toggle. Your first
FM set the format to suppress all blanks and leading
zeroes, so 11:01 became 11:1. The added FM sets back
to normal mode, so everything after the first FM is
zero/blank suppressed, after the second FM is not.

URGENT: Date format in Reports Giving me trouble...plz help me out

Hi guru's Can any one help me out
I
n the front end apps we are getting the date value as
BOM_SRS_DATETIME_STANDARD
Where we are entering the date value as MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS
The date format set in the company is like RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
SO I format masked the date parameter in .RDF to RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS format.
While the actual date format in the data base is like DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS.
I checked all the old reports and the date format is like they masked the date format to company format and used the afterparameter trigger like bellow:
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null and :P_SENT_DATE_TO is null then
:P_SENT_DATE_TO := :P_SENT_DATE_FROM;
end if;
if (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM = :P_SENT_DATE_TO) and (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null) then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE = '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
else
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE >= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
if :P_SENT_DATE_TO is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE <= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_TO ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
end if;
I tried this but i couldnt get the output either.
I am pretty much confused.
Plz help me out...

If you want to use a dynamic where caluse in your report query you can use a Reference Cursor using REF CUR QUERY tool in your report like this :
function QR_1RefCurDS return DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_REFCUR is
temp_CHARACT DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_refcur;
begin
IF :FROM_NO IS NULL AND :TO_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for SELECT ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE=:FROM_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE BETWEEN :FROM_NO AND :TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE<=:TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
END IF;
return temp_CHARACT;
end;
But first you have to declare a cursor type in a package

Change default date format of reports data source

Hi all,
I need to convert an ugly EBS standard charactermode report (Oracle Reports) into the Xml-Publisher format. I'd like to use the existing report as the xml data source as all data is available in the old report.
The problem is that the date format used by reports is determined by NLS_DATE_FORMAT (et al). This date format unfortunately is not xml compliant (dd.mm.yyyy in our case) and so Xml-Publisher date related features (e.g. sort by date) will not work .
The report/template is submitted via the submit concurrent request form.
Is there a way to make the underlying reports produce xml conformant dates without resorting to wild substring operations in the template or changing the EBS standard report?
Thanks
Christoph

Can i change the nls parameter of a particular column(date field) in a table?if i set that it is apllied to all the tables in the database..No. Please understand that all dates, in all tables are stored in the same, oracle-defined, format. NLS_date_format affects how that internal date is converted to a character string for presentation to humans, or how to interpret a character string (received ,ultimately, from a human) for conversion to that internal format. It (NLS_DATE_FORMAT) can be set at several levels, but table/column is not one of them.
Please read the link I posted in my earlier response. It will clear up your confusion.

System date format in reports (winnt)

Hello All,
I am using oracle report bulder 6.0.5.35. on winnt
i have to show all the date fields in my report in the system format (as specified in the regional settings in control panel)
i couldn't find a direct solution, so what i did was to create a user defined parameter and pass the system date format as a string to the report at runtime (this report is invoked from VC++, so i can pass the local setting as a string at runtime)
after this, in BEFORE REPORT trigger i use the following code
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format',:dat);
--where dat is the user parameter.
shouldn't this change the date format for the current session. but this is not happening. (i have not set date formats for any date fields in report)
i am not getting the output in format that i passed, but always i am getting in 'dd-mon-yy' format.
can anybody please help. is there any other solution.
thanks and regards,
Pinto.

hello,
the DBMS_SESSION changes the settings on the database side. as reports has it's own client-side NLS settings this does not have any influence on the output.
the client-side settings are defined by the NLS_LANG settings in the registry on the client.

No. of hours appear in Date Format in Reports

The output of the Personnel Action Report shows the "Annual Working Hours" column in Date format. This is the same with other reports like the Wage Type Reporter.
Can somebody suggest a solution to this?
Thanks
RS

Hey thanks to both of you for responding.
Personnel Action Report is customised "ZHRPA" and Wage type report is also a customised one.
Ameet, could you please let me know what exactly I am supposed to chekc in my parameters (SU3)? Should I ask the developer to check the report since this is a customised one?
Remi, wage type reporter is also a customised report here. It is the customised version of PC00_M99_CWTR.

Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
Now go to defaults and change the date format.
Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

I want to change the Date format in BEx reports. Currently I am getting MM DD YYYY. But I need it as DD MM YYYY. I had gone thru numerous posting on this issue. I changed the Date Settings in SU3.

I feel in your case, going to the System (in menu)-User Profile-Own data then, you get, Maintain user profile. Here you have the option of Maintaining, Date format.
