OBIEE Answers DATE Function

Hi,
If i am executing the below statement i am getting error
Case When 1=1 Then
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_HOUR, -6,TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-240,current_date) )
Else
"Orders - Sales Order Detail"."SOD_Date Order Transaction" end
Error :
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22025] Function TimestampAdd is called with an incompatible type. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Case When 1=1 Then TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_HOUR, -6,TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-240,current_date) ) Else "Orders - Sales Order Detail"."SOD_Date Order Transaction" end FROM "RT ODS Order Management China - Orders"
If i am hard coding the date value byusing TIMESTAMP'2000-02-27 14:30:00' then its working...
PLEASE GIVE ME THE SOLUTION....
kind Regards,
Mohan.

Hi User,
This is because
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_HOUR, -6,TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-240,current_date) )
You are trying to add hours and day.Thats why it throw an error as incompatible types.
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, -6,TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-240,current_date) )
it will work because now we are adding days with days.
!st convert days to hours then add

OBIEE Answers functionality questions

Hi,
I pretty new to OBIEE Answers orginally working with Business Objects XI Webi, I have read through the user guides for Answers but some functionality I would like thats in BO XI but doesnt seem to be avaliable in Answers, Im not sure if its not documented because its more advanced functionality or whether Answers just can't do it ? Is the following functionality avaliable in Answers,
1. I want to build a report based on 2 queries and then link the data in these queries by a common dimension and display this data in 1 report, for example I have query 1 with fields A,B,C and query 2 with fields A, D, E, I want to link on field A as its common and in the 1 report display the fields A,B,C,D,E
is this possible ? This is not the same as union / intersect, and is not the same as dashboard showing two query results, I want 1 table showing the results of two queries.
2. Once you have you data set returned is there anyway to filter on the data displayed in the report without the SQL actually having the filter in ? For example I have 1 query returning 100 rows of data and in that 50 rows are of type = A and 50 are of type = B. I dont want to have two seperate queries one to get all type A and one to get all type B, but I would prefer to return all rows in the query then filter the results in the report itself so I can have 1 report table showing type = A and 1 report table showing type = B, pretty much like how you can add a filter in Excel or again how you would add a report level filter in BO XI ?

I have three dimensions and that particular column is in three dimensional tables and i changed the names and placed in fact table.
when i'm trying to view data in physical layer it is displaying data.
why i'm facing this error.. How can I resolve this??
Its very urgent requirement and any help will be appreciable..

Data Federator Universe Date Functions

Hi,
I created a Data Federator Universe from target tables (Source Tables from: Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 10g). Now, I want to create a object in the universe: "Days between 2 dates"(coming from 2 different target tables). I don't see any other date functions other than CURDATE(). How to create my object?
Alternatively, Can I create a caliculated column in the existing target table? For Example, I want to create a new column "Days between 2 Dates" from 2 different tables by using a formula in Default mapping of the target table.
Thanks & Regards,
Peter

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply.
Ok. So, Universe on top of Data Federator has limited functionality.
And, other option you mentioned is on report level. I am creating an adhoc universe and I have few objects which will calculate days between 2 dates coming from 2 different tables.
But, how can I achieve this on Data Federator level. I have no function there to find Days Between 2 dates. I see lot of time and date functions but not the one I required. Also, I added a column in the target table and tried to apply the formula there in the default mapping area. But, I see only the selected target table. I need another date column from another table, which is not displayed in the default mapping area.
How can I achieve this?

I had to hard code lot of dates. most of them are first day of the current monthe or last day of current month etc.
I thot of parametrizing all the dates, but if a business person has to include all the parameters they could go wrong and get the wrong results.
Now, I want to use date functions to achieve these requirements:
Can any one please throw some insght into this:....
1) First day of current month,
2) last day of current month.
3) first day of previious month
4) last day of previous month
5) first day of a month that is 3 months from now.

Problem overloading "set data" function on Button DataGrid Renderer

Hi all, I'm hoping this is something simple.
I have a class that extends mx.controls.Button and implements mx.core.IDataRenderer. I need to set the button icon whenever the Data property is set from the DataGrid. My problem is that my overloaded set/get Data function are never called (I've stepped through the code in debug). Instead the set/get functions in Container.as (Flex 3.4 SDK) get called.
Here's the basics code:
exportButtonRenderer.as
package controls
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.controls.Button;
    import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
    import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import model.descriptors.compDescriptor;
    import events.exportClickedEvent;
    public class exportButtonRenderer extends Button implements IDataRenderer
        //    embed your icons
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/export.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageExport:Class;
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/blank.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageBlank:Class;
        public function exportButtonRenderer()
            super();
        private var _listData:DataGridListData;
        override public function get listData():BaseListData
            return _listData;
        override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
            _listData = DataGridListData(value);
        private var _data:Object;
        override public function get data():Object
            return _data;
        override public function set data(value:Object):void
            _data = value;
        override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            super.clickHandler(event);
Now I know I'm using the Flexlib TreeGrid and not a standard DataGrid but when I trace through all the code all code firing the set/get functions is coming from the DataGrid anyway.
Here's the my Grid def in my main app mxml:
Header 1
<flexlib:TreeGrid
        id="MKTXGrid"
        dragEnabled="false" sortableColumns="false" showRoot="false"

        disclosureOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/arrow_down.png')"
        folderOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        folderClosedIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        click="MKTXGrid_clickHandler(event)"
         doubleClickEnabled="true" doubleClick="MKTXGrid_doubleClickHandler(event)" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="16">

                                    e.itemData = data;
                                    dispatchEvent(e);
                                ]]>
                            </controls:click>
                        </controls:exportButtonRenderer>
                    </mx:Box>
                </mx:Component>
            </mx:itemRenderer>
            </mx:DataGridColumn>
        </flexlib:columns>
    </flexlib:TreeGrid>
Nothing too special going on.
I know this can be done, I've seen examples in the SDK:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/durango/trunk/ExternalFlexTools/com/dougmccune/ containers/accordionClasses/AccordionHeader.as
By the way I've stepped through the code of the TreeGridItemRenderer class in Flexlib which works correctly and the class def starts like this:
TreeGridItemRenderer.as
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flexlib.controls.TreeGrid;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
import mx.core.IToolTip;
import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.core.UITextField;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.events.ToolTipEvent;
import mx.events.TreeEvent;
import mx.managers.ILayoutManagerClient;
import mx.styles.IStyleClient;
public class TreeGridItemRenderer extends UIComponent
                                  implements IDataRenderer,
                                               IDropInListItemRenderer,
                                             ILayoutManagerClient,
                                               IListItemRenderer
Any help would be great!

That's because you put your component in a Box. The DataGrid is setting the Box's .data property and no code is setting the one on your component. You shouldn't really need Box. You can override updateDisplayList to center your Button instead.

Help with Date function in sql query....

My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
--------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
<%!
String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
return simpleDate.format(d);
%>
<%
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
%>
---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
something like
rdate = <%= dateString %>
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

There are sql functions upper & lower.
SELECT name FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0

I am trying to use date function in XSLT, I am using the below code, please correct me if i am wrong
<corecom:EffectiveDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373,"[YYYY][M01][D01]")'/>
</corecom:EffectiveDate>
Regards
Francis

Hi Francis,
It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code itself, but what's the content of ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373 ???
The xp20:format-dateTime function will work if the date on the first parameter is on ISO 8601 format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Examples
1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time.
1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.
Cheers,
Vlad

Need milli seconds part in XSLT Date Function current-dateTime()

Hi All,
I am calling date function, current-dateTime() in XSL. The output format is 2012-04-05T16:38:01-07:00 (Without milli seconds)
How to get the milli seconds part...?

Hi Arik....
At last i got it. :)
Followed the below steps.
Step1:
Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
Step2:
I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
//Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
Step3:
Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
Step4:
Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
Step5:
Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
uh-huh I got the output...
Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...
