Apply a validation for a "prompt date"

Hello friends.
As I can include a validation to a "Prompt" date. operator is between and.
Basically what I want is to limit the "prompt".
example:
Date between: 01/01/2012 and: 12/01/2012
The date range exceeded 6 months.
Thank you for your cooperation

You will need to do this:
1) You will need to build your between prompt like this:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables/
The reason is because we need the PV for the start date and end date. (I call the PVs pv_StartDate and pv_EndDate, respectively in my example below.)
2) Create a small report with 3 columns: one column from your SA, it doesn't matter what; and one dummy column.
3) In the dummy column, click on the fx button, delete the contents and enter the following:
CASE WHEN TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 6, '@{pv_StartDate}' > '@{pv_EndDate}' THEN NULL END
4) Put a filter on the second column for IS NOT NULL
What this small report does is this: when the difference between the start and end dates is greater than 6 months, then the CASE statement will be NULL and since the filter is only looking for "not NULL" values, the report will return no rows.
5) Now in your dashboard, add a section and put your report in it. In the Section properties, click on Properties>Guided Navigation and point it to the small report "if request returns rows."
6) Add another Section below the one above and this time drag a Text object to the section. Put the text you have: "The date range exceeded 6 months. Please choose a date range within 6 months. Thank you."
7) On the Section properties of this one, click on Properties>Guided Navigation and point it to the small report "if request returns nothing."
I think you get the picture. When the date range exceeds 6 months, the top section does not appear; instead the user sees the text to change the date range.
That should resolve your issue.

Persistent prompt date format changes when reopening report in Webi

Hi all
I have a PERISTENT prompt that asks for a date when you run the report. The format is "MM/dd/yyyy". I also have a variable that displays this value in the form:
=ToDate(UserResponse([Query 1];"Please enter date:");"MM/dd/yyyy")
When the report is run the prompt works and you select the date from the calendar and all works fine. You can refresh the report and keep the persistent date prompt value if you like. Great.
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
On my report I get #ERROR associated with the above variable. This is because the peristent value in the prompt has been "re-loaded" in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a".
The only way I have found to resolve this is to refresh the report and reselect a date which makes the persistent prompt kind of useless if you close the report.
Any suggestions on solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
When opening the report in something other than modify, does the problem also occur? I too have noticed different behavior with persistent date prompts and whether running in modify or Infoview modes. Most deployments do not give their users the ability to run a public report in modify mode (though, possibly they could copy it to their own Favorites and run it in modify mode there). So perhaps this "problem" is by design and is resolved by running the report in the more common Infoview mode?
Thanks,
John

Prompt date value with default max from table1.column1

Hi all,
How do I prompt user for date of report with default date = max(table1.column1) ? Give me some example of syntax pls.
Thanks ahead.

hi,
Default Date for the Date Prompt can be Static but not dynamic in WEBI.
Because we can't specify any object/calculation as default value for the prompt.
I think it's not possible in WEBI.

Prompt Preview and Dashboard prompt Date Format.

Hi,
When seen in its preview, a Dashboard prompt based on Date data type is shown using format 'mm/dd/yyyy' which is the expected format. However, when seen on a dashboard page, the prompt's format becomes 'yyyy/mm/dd'.
Does anyone have idea how to fix this or what could be the reason?
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Manoj.

In the prompt window there was a little clock icon symbol. I first had to go to the BI admiistration in the physical and change (the specific column/field) from a timestamp to date. We also needed to a default date to be applied to our application so I created a global variable and made it a string so that it would appear in the application in the format like you stated in your thread: Select to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy') from dual. But overall I think the real trick was changing the physical from a timestamp to date.

Issues with Prompts date

Hi,
I have created two date calender prompts from the same date column of the time dimension 'from date' and 'to date' and saved those into Presentation variables.
I have to show 'amount' into one column(say opening amount) if transaction date is before 'from date'. and into another column (say debit) when transaction date is after 'from date'.When in criteria tab I try to enter the formula something like (case when transaction_date > @{from_date} then amount end) it is giving me error.
nQSError: 46030] Field descriptor id 0 is beyond the maximum field count 0
Can anyone has come across the same issue?
Regards,
Vikas

Please don't change anything to OBIEE.
You must do the difference between the data type date and date format.
When you create a dashboard prompt with a date column and you set up a presentation variable. The presentation variable take the same data type. It become a date.
The format is specifically the work of BI Presentation service to take this date and to transform it in the way that want the user (depending of the language).
What I would say, is that you must set up in the default value of the filter also a date (and therefore not a character).
Unfortunately when you enter this :
DAY is greater than or equal to @{from_date}{1990/6/6}Obiee see it as a character
And what I have discover is that if you want a date the cast function don't follow the format depending of the configuration, you have to use this format :
DAY is greater than or equal to @{from_date}{cast('1990-06-06' as date)}In this way, you will have two datea where the format change when you change the local definition (to French for instance) in your account profile.
You can also use this form :
DAY is greater than or equal to @{from_date}{date '1990-06-06'}Edited by: gerardnico on Jun 24, 2009 7:38 PM - suppress a bad bracket

Adding days in prompt date

Hi Guys
I need to create the filter like:-
user select the date using the prompt on report while opening the report and i need to use the date entered by user which will be compared as
date > user_Selected_dt +14 days..
i have created the prompt and in report i can see the date selected by user using UserResponse () function but how to put same in filter.
regards

Just create a formula in Webi, let's say "Date Filter" =
if date > user_Selected_dt +14 days then "filtered rows" else "Display All"
No you can use the 'Date Filter" in interactive filter or table filters or controls.

Univer Prompt Date Object

I have a date prompt. The users can enter a date or they can leave the Date as null. If they leave the Date prompt as Null It has to go and fetch all the Data even if the date field does not have any value. The problem here is if they leave it as null then i am running into an issue of Date column comparing it against a NULL Value. Is there a way for me to handle this issue.
-Prabu

Hi,
To get all the dates then you have to create a all object andshould place it in existing lovs. Try like this.
1. In the lovs odf the date object i.e date object-> right click ->clicko n edit lovs -> then a query panel opens for you there modify the existing query to
Select distinct(dates) from ........... to
select distinct(dates) from ................
union
select ' ALL' from dual; ---> where dual is temporary table if back end is oracle. then in date object in universe try with the below synatx as
Date = (@Prompt('<Prompt message>','A',{'Class\Object'},mono,free) or "ALL '' = @Prompt('<Text>','A',{'Class\Object'},mono,free) .
In your case replace all with SIgle quotations.

Shared Object - Prompt Data Permissions Dialog

Hello,
I'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local
installation that will use multiple shared objects for data
storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a
permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data
storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this
in the Actionscript Cookbook...
request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,
Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single
time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the
permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the
product (all written to same SO directory), or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter
would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all
app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data
config perspective...
I really appreciate your attention and help on this!
Thanks in advance,
-Maura

Hmm. Experimented a bit and it seems that once the permission
is set it applies to the Flash Player installation globally, and
not per SO, not even per domain...
Or, please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thanks.
