Invalid month error in WEBI report level

Hi,
I had a issue with date format.I am using oracle10g as a backend database.I have a  date object in universe level i used that object in web intelligence report level.I created prompt for date object after select the date from the list i  am getting " invalid month error". In database level object datatype is timestamp.
How to solve this issue.can somebody help me to solve the problem.

Hi
Date  Objects depends on various formats for different database
Make sure that u format date like MM/dd/yyyy in universe level . and the object should be in date datatype .
In the query level use prompt to select dates.
In report level
create a variable and use a formula like
todate(userresponse("Enter date");"")
Hope this helps U
Sunil

    ThanksThere's absolutely no reason that that should result in that error.
    The SQL is sent to the database and it's perfectly valid SQL, taking a string, and converting it to a date with the correct date format mask, and then truncating the date (which, by default is to the day, which in this case is pointless as it's already truncated), returning a DATE datatype, which SQL Developer will then render using it's date display format.

  • Strange invalid month error.

    Hi all,
    I have a function which receives a date and then returns a text string saying what day of the week it is, ie Monday Tuesday etc etc
    For example sakes I'll say the function is called dayoftheweek and we use the function like 'select somedate, dayoftheweek(somedate) from dual'
    Now, the bit within the function that works out the day is as below
    SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(p_date, 'DD/MM/RRRR') ,'DAY') from dual (p_date is the internal function variable for the date passed in.)
    Now, if I do this
    select dayoftheweek('25-MAY-09') from dual -- this works.
    But...
    select dayoftheweek('25/05/09') from dual -- this does not work, I get an ora 01843 invalid month error.
    So, I assumed it was something to do with the logic that worked out the day of the week.
    However, the below works.
    SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/RRRR') ,'DAY') from dual
    Does anyone know why when passing a date to the function in format 'select dayoftheweek('25/05/09') from dual' does not work but if I use this format within the function logic as above it does work?
    Cheers,
    rg

    Hello,
    Oracle does not know your date format:
    select dayoftheweek('25/05/09')I.e, it does not know that the date you are passing in is in the form of 'DD/MM/MM'. You must tell it (since it isn't your default format):
    select dayoftheweek(to_date('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/YY'))If all you wanted, however, was the day of the week from a date, then:
    TO_CHAR(to_date('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/YY'), 'DAY')Will give you that.
    And by the way, this:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/RRRR') ,'DAY') from dualIs correct by chance, even though you're getting no error you may get the wrong result, because you're telling oracle you're passing in 4 digits for the year, yet you're only passing in two.
    Edit Beware:
    SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/RRRR'), 'YYYY') from dual;
    TO_C
    2009
    SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('25/05/09', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'YYYY') from dual;
    TO_C

  • Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST  when using Dimensions in Prompt

    Hi,
    I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
    I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
    Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
    The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
    When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
    A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] }  ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]  failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
    I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
    Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
    SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } 
    ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] }  ) ON ROWS 
    FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
    Then it worked Fine!!!  If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
    By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
    I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
    Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
    regads,
    Nisha.

    Hi Ingo,
    I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
    The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
    Also,
    I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
    This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
    MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
    Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and  "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
    COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
    So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
    and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
    I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
    When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
    But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
    This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
    We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!!  We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
    Please let me know your inputs.
    regards,
    Nisha.

  • #Datatype error in WebI Reports

    Could anyone please provide some solution.

  • Previous month data in WebI Report

    Hi All,
    I have a universe created on a Bex Query. I don't have any variables created in the Bex Query. I have to create a WebI report with Calendar Year/Month as selection and depending on what user enters, i have to display Cost for the month entered by the user and cost for (month -1 ). For eg. if the user enters Feb 2009, then the report should display Cost for Jan 2009 and Feb 2009. I have created a filter for Calendar Year/Month. How do i bring previous month data in the report ? I don't have to modify the Bex Query. I have to achieve it on the BO side. Can you guys help on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Saachi

    Hi,
    There is a restriction in BO when you use it with SAP.
    When the user filters the data for FEB 2009, you will not be able to get data for JAN 2009 as it does
    not go again to the Bex query to fetch this data.
    The only workaround as of now to this is to bring all the data using Bex query by having a filter
    at the BO Query level where you say Cal year/month key = (From prompt) or 
                                                          Cal year/month key <> #.
    This is because it considers Cal year/month as string and so even at the universe level we will not
    be able to create a previous month formula.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    try with this.
    Starting the Gateway Service on the Message Server resolved this issue.
    There have also been reports of this issue when name resolution issues occur between the client and the Message Server machine.  As a test, you can add the Message Server name and IP address to the Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file.
    Or check SAP note 1590518.

  • Error in Web report "Error on Page"

    Hello,
    When I run a web report I provide values for Company code with option as * with cc value as 100*.
    The report runs and gives initial output but I get an Error on page.
    After this I am not able to navigate further in the report i.e  there is no action when I try to drill down.
    Experts please help.

    Hi KT,
    You must have used a varialble while designing the query and you must be knowing which type it is.
    To be more precise pattern selection is supported for selopt (selection option variables only).
    Please note down that the "Contain Pattern" is not supported for the following variable types:
    1) Single value variable
    2) Multiple values variable
    3) Range Value Variable
    This feature is only supported by variable type 'Selection option'.

    Please help me.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think your BASIS may have done something in the BW side, as i've seen this kind of problem when importing wrong transport and overwriting content.
    As a test,  try hardcoding the Universe connection with a named SAP_ALL user instead of using SAP SSO
    FWIW -  SP02 is no longer supported .  SP03 is no longer maintained (last FP3.8 is due soon)
    most reference customers are on XI 3.1 SP04 FP4.1 or XI 3.1 SP05   with BW 7.01 SP09/10
    From your description, i can't tell if you are using EhP1 or not. ( you really should be)

  • Formula error in Webi Report

    Hi,
    I created a variable in my webi report using below formula. It is validated but when I use this variable in my report giving #ERROR. Not dispalying the value.
    =Count([Loan Number]) Where ([Interest Amt]+[Principal Amt] > 0)
    Loan Number datatype is varchar2 and other two are number fields.
    We are in BOXI R2 version.
    Please suggest where I am going wrong.
    Thanks,
    Ven Men

    Ven Men,
    The preferred function in WebI is "if", so here is a stab at re-addressing your test on principle amount + loan amount:
    =count(if( [Interest Amt] + [Principal Amt] > 0;[Loan Number]);0)
    thanks,
