OBIEE Cast as char,timestamp erroring

Hi,
I AM ABLE to use the cast as char and then cast as timestamp function on 2 date columns to get the time diffrnc using timestampdiff. This is on an ebs 11 instance database.
As we are upgrading to EBS R12, we set up a new test instance of obiee on this. But in this new test instance, the same formula is erroring out.
The date is in format yyyy/mm/dd. After cast as char , i get it in format mm-dd-yyyy in both instances. But on cast as timestamp,in the new (r12) instance i get the error
Oracle Error code: 1843, message: ORA-01843: not a valid month at OCI call OCIStmtFetch. [nQSError: 17012] Bulk fetch failed. (HY000)
I tried passing date in the format 'dd-mon-yy' (char format) in the r12 instance and then cast it timestamp and this seems to work. Why is the bi server expecting date in this format after char and how can i change this?
note:the nls_date_formats are same in both the database.
the date formats in both the nqsconfig.ini files are also same
any other place where i should set this?

Try to search the xml for the same code and replace using Catalog Manager.
Using Catalog Manager find your old code which is using cast as char and replace with new code for more details see
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10541/prescatadmin.htm#i1046286
Since given suggestion worked can you mark as correct on my last response?

Cast and Concat functions error

Hi
I am getting below errors while doing cast and concat
The error message is nQSError: 22020] Function Concat does not support non-text types.
and my concat code is
CAST (cast(day(current_date) as char)||'-'||month(current_date)||'-'||cast(year(Core."Dim - Date"."Date") as char) AS DATE )
Error when tried it differently [nQSError: 27002] Near <)>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] .
CAST (concat(cast(day(current_date) as char)||'-'||month(current_date)||'-'||cast(year(Core."Dim - Date"."Date") as char)) AS DATE )
Please suggest.

Hi,
CASE WHEN Core."Dim - Date"."Year" = 'year(current_date)' THEN FILTER( AGO(Core."Fact - Spend and AP Invoice Distribution"."Spend YTD", Core."Date"."Year", 1)
USING Core."Dim - Date"."Date" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."R_Current_Date")) WHEN Core."Dim - Date"."Year" <> 'year(current_date)' THEN FILTER( AGO(Core."Fact - Spend
and AP Invoice Distribution"."Spend YTD", Core."Date"."Year", 1) USING Core."Dim - Date"."Date" = CAST ( TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE )
AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE ) AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM
CAST (Core."Dim - Date"."Year" AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) AS DATE )) ELSE 0 END
Here I have taken this part of the code from above code and started testing from answers
CAST ( TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE )
AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE ) AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM
CAST (Core."Dim - Date"."Year" AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) AS DATE )) ELSE 0 END
what I could make out is when I was casting it to date I was getting the error
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtExecute:
So When I have casted it to char and removed the year function from concatenation it worked out.
With the same idea I have used this part of the code in my main code above but here char was not working out, so I need to use date and there were no compilation
errors as it used to be before.
CASE WHEN Core."Dim - Date"."Year" = 'year(current_date)' THEN FILTER( AGO(Core."Fact - Spend and AP Invoice Distribution"."Spend YTD", Core."Date"."Year", 1)
USING Core."Dim - Date"."Date" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."R_Current_Date")) WHEN Core."Dim - Date"."Year" <> 'year(current_date)' THEN FILTER( AGO(Core."Fact - Spend
and AP Invoice Distribution"."Spend YTD", Core."Date"."Year", 1) USING Core."Dim - Date"."Date" = CAST ( TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE )
AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' ' FROM CAST ( EXTRACT( MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE ) AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) || '/' || TRIM(BOTH ' '
FROM CAST (Core."Dim - Date"."Year" AS CHARACTER ( 30 ))) AS DATE )) ELSE 0 END
Now when I check results in reports. I get the error ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtExecute
The problem here happening is
Core."Dim - Date"."Date" data type is DATETIME
and the concat string whole date type is DATE.
Its like datetime=date
Since becuase of this mismatch I assume I am getting this error.
So I thought of changing the data type of Core."Dim - Date"."Date" data type in rpd. Even though I checked out to do the changes I am unable to do though I login with
Admin account.
Secondly I thought of changing the concat string whole date type to DATETIME then I get the syntax error.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

CHAR RELATIONSHIP error in SEM BPS planning sequence

Hi,
I'm executing a planning sequence with 2 planning functions.
1st being "Exit funciton" & 2nd being "Repost funciton".
I've a "characteristic relationship of type attribute" defined at the planning area level.
Am getting CHAR RELATIONSHIP check error when am executing this sequence.
EXIT function gives blank values for a characteristic that is used in "characteristic relationship".
But, REPOST function adjusts this blank characteristic value to actual value which will be correct when "CHARACTERISTIC RELATIONSHIP" is checked.
When I execute sequence, EXIT function gets executed & CHAR RELATIONSHIP errors are being displayed before "REPOST" function is being executed.
Is there any other approach to deal this scenario? like checking CHAR RELATIONSHIP after REPOST funciton execution?
I can execute REPOST funciton from "EXIT FUNCTION" using API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE, but this doesn't suit my needs.
Please note that I've a need to use 2nd planning function rather deriving characteristic relationship from the EXIT function.
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts.

Hari,
each function must produce results that adhere to the rules specified as characteristic relationships. BPS will always execute the char.relationships after the exit function. You might be able to avoid this by adjusting the characteristics in your planning level.
Calling another function (like REPOST) from within an exit is not possible since BPS needs to finish processing the exit first, before it can run the repost.

Hi,
I am using Oracle CEP 11.1.1.4.
I am trying to understand pattern matchin feature therefore my examples are meaningless. I am producing data like that ( between 1-3 and printing to console ):
00:00:00 Producer produced 1
00:00:05 Producer produced 2
00:00:10 Producer produced 1
00:00:15 Producer produced 3
00:00:20 Producer produced 3
00:00:25 Producer produced 1
Then I am looking for the data ( or you can think that as 1-2-3 ) that has been produced once and has not been produced within last 10 seconds.
I am using system-timestamp channels.

TIMESTAMP Error

I get the following error :
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
when I try to insert in a timestamp : '2000-03-23 10:13:54'
I have looked at TIMESTAMP format and it is set to : YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS
I am using Oracle 9i.
Is there a command I could use that would return what format my database is expecting for TIMESTAMP.
Thanks Tony

This is how you would do the parameter change (for DATE and TIMESTAMP datatypes), if not using explicit conversion, as shown in above examples:

Table created.
SQL> insert into t values ('2000-03-23 10:13:54', '2000-03-23 10:13:54') ;

Thanks for your help,

You have a conversion problem with your character set between the database and OBIEE.
You have to set your NSL_LANG as you can see in this thread:
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
To do this, you can do it in your connexion pool with an alter command. Check here for an image example:

Timestamp error with IR 9.3 and CSV Files

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and getting used to all of the Hyperion functionalities. I'm trying to create a query that will give me the history of orders and for that I'm using CSV files as the source of information. I have date fields that when I select them returns me a formatting error: "12/18/2009 doesn't match date format: 1992-01-31 00:00:00". I assume that this is because the field format is recognized as Timestamp. Is there a way to change the field format from within Hyperion?
Appreciate your help!

How and where exactly did you make this modification? I moved from an old PC to a new one and my queries work great on my old PC but with my new one, I am getting this "doesn't match date format:" error. I didn't have to make any changes when I set things up on my old PC (at least not that I remember) and not sure what to do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does CAST ( date as timestamp) causes performance issues

Hi
does casting from DATE to TIMESTAMP in a query or in a view causes the slow down of performance??
Please guide...
Thanks
Rimpi

Everything you do affect performance. How significantly is a question answered by testing not by asking questions on an OTN forum.
Create a loop doing it 10,000 times and find out.
And, in the future, always include your version number.
