Prompt For Value inbetween 2 Calendar Dates

I would like to know how to set up the following in Answers.
Report should show sales that occurred in between 2 dates. When the report is run I would like the user to be prompted for a Start Date and an End Date. How can I set this up in Answers. I know I have to create 2 prompts for Start Date and End Date but after this what do I do.
Thanks

HI pass the presentation variables for the startdate as 'startdate' and for the End date 'enddate' and save the prompt. In the report level select the column date(the date which you have joined)
and use the filter for that date and use the between operator and add the two presentation variables startdate and enddate and save the report. Now the report will be filtered based on the dates you have selected.
check the link below here they have passed server variable for the date prompts but you can use presentation variable.

Error during MRP run for a Material : Calendar date

Hello All,
I am trying to run MRP for a material and it is not creating Purchase Requisition. It is giving an error that says " 08/10/2003 date lies before start of factory calendar. (Please correct)"
The MRP is set up in such a way that we have a special procurement key pointing to another plant. So we are expecting it to create a Purchase Requistion on that plant but it is not doing so.
I am not expecting a change of dates in the calendar.
Please let me know what the issue would be and where can I correct it.
Thanks
Regards
SAP Fans...

MRP will create a requisition in your plant to procure from the plant that is mentioned in the special procurement key.
The second best solution is to maintain a calendar for this past old year 2003 in your system by using transaction SCAL.
But why would you need a requisition for a time 6 years back? Ever thought about this?
You must have a production order or sales order with a wrong delivery date or replenishment lead time in your system. Because of that the MRP run calculates an expected delivery date for the requisition item that far in the past.

Prompt for values to use in calculations, (not filter)

Hi the BO WEBI experts.
I want to create a variable to capture user input for estimated 'billing degree' .
Later I want to use this value for calculations on Key Figures.
I struggle with how to make the variabel, since it seems like I need to connect the variable to the Universe, to be able to make it.
Thank you for good answers.
Best Regards

Hi Ingrid,
I believe you want to capture a value entered by user, in the webi report variable.
Please clarify the workflow where exactly the user enters the value, which you want to capture.
Does the query has a prompt, where user will enter any value, which you want to capture in the variable?
In this case, first create a prompt in the query. Go to EDIT Query mode, drag the object in the 'query filters' and specify the prompt condition.
Now, run the query and get the result set and then create a variable using UserResponse function.
Also see the 'function help' for UserResponse function from the 'variable editor'.
This variable will give you all the values entered by user in the prompt.
If this is not the case, please specify the exact requirement and the workflow.

Abhijeet

Prompt for Begining and End Date - HELP

I'm very new to this application so I hope I'm asking the correct question.
I have 1 field in the database that's used for dates. format is DD-MON-YYYY. How do I create a form that I can use to search between 2 dates. Example: Display all records between 01-MAR-2007 to 31-MAR-2007
Look forward to your response
Rejean

Rejean,
First of all welcome to the Apex Application and to the discussion forums in particular.
There is nothing wrong with the question you asked it is only in the wrong forum. There is an APEX Forum Oracle Application Express (APEX) that is very active and a terrific resource for you to use.
Hope you will find the answer in that forum.

ITunes 10.7(21) 64-bit keeps prompt for Unable to load data class information from sync services

I have just installed the xcode before I resync with iTunes.
I got this problem after sync with iTunes.
My mac running 10.8.2 and latest iTunes 10.7 (21) 64bit. I tried some advices from web but I have no luck:
1. Use sudo to remove the iTunes and resinstall it but it didn't fix the problem.
2. Use Timemachine to restore the AppleMobilexxx.kext and it also didn't fix the problem.
3. I tried to delete all backup ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/, no luck too.
4. I tried to reset the syncservices folder too http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
What else can I do now?
Regards,
Jimmy

After an entire day of searching for a solution, I finally resolved my problem.
To be honest, I tried so many things in such a random order, I'm not sure if every step is necessary but these were my actions.
I disabled ESET anitvirus (I believe that it was ESET that caused the probelem in the first place).
I created a rule to allow the following .exe file to work
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.Outlook.client.exe
I'm not sure if that is enough to fix the problem because I also did the following.
Uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes
Whilst ESET was disabled, I ran every .exe file in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Initially, I had to run the com.apple.Outlook.client.exe file every time I opened iTunes & then something made it stick. Not sure what. Maybe I had disabled ESET in the meantime.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there.

Calendar date variable problem in queries

Hi-We upgraded to NW2004s from BW 3.1 We have an issue with queries when we try to change the value of any variable that is a calendar date such as the Current Calendar Day. Example: when running a query, the Select Values for Variants screen displays today's date as the default for Current Calendar Day in the format 09/29/06. To change the date to another value, I get the screen displaying a calendar, if I pick 09/28/06, the display comes back as 28.09.2006 & then I can't proceed any further as I get an error "please enter value in permitted format for variable current calendar date"
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
thanks
Marge Blick

Hi
There may be some other reason for it, coz Day light savings starts in last week of March, not in May.
And day light savings ends in Last week of October

Not prompting for the parameters of stored procedures while running

Hi All,
I have a stored proc which takes in 3 parameters and execute a copy of a record in a table based on the 3 parameters which I pass in.
When I use the proc in crystal reports (Crystal Reports 2008), it is not prompting for the parameter values if we execute the report directly. It's prompting the values only when I do 'Veriyf Database' from the menu. Why is it not prompting for values when executing directly. Am I missing anything here?
Also, I have a C# .net project which uses the report and take in input parameters. Even there, previously, I used to call the VerifyDatabase () first and then the SetParameterValues () which was working fine for regular expressions. But for this report (which uses stored procedure), it is not giving the desired output (copying data), even though the report doesn't fail to run. But when I changed the order of the call to have SetParameterValues () before the call to VerifyDatabase (), it works fine (copies the data for the given input parameters).
Please let me know what is missing here? Is the order of the call to VerifyDatabase () and SetParameterValues () matters? If so, why is it working for regular expressions and not for stored procs?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Siva.

I recommend posting this to the Crystal Reports Design forum. As I read it:

The issue is in the CR designer 1st. So it needs to be resolved there before moving on to the CR SDK in .NET.

Need Solution/Workaround for Note 947081: SG dates in MMDDYYYY

We are implementing ESS for Singapore. Dates are being shown in MMDDYYYY format - we need DD.MM.YYYY, which is the Singapore standard.
Our large user base all have language EN, country SG.
With reference to Note 947081, dated 07.09.2006, I'd like to enquire if there is a solution or workaround to the limitation given in the Note:
"Known Limitations
10. Calendar date formatting for Singapore
The calendar date formatting for the locale "en_SG" Singapore is MM/DD/YYYY similar to the US American date format.
This is a feature of the SUN Java JVM. It is not possible, by means of
SAP NetWeaver, to change this behaviour."
SAP informs us there is no update from them overcoming this problem.
Changing the user master for the entire user base is not feasible.
System details: We are running on Unix Server, Java from IBM.
Inconsistencies: Any MESSAGES containing dates from R/3 come in DD.MM.YYYY
From the ESS portal some links point to ITS sub-screens - which are in DD.MM.YYYY

Hi Chopper,
How to change the standard behavior internally...?
Thanks in advance.

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Lync 2013 Clients prompting repeatedly for credentials for calendar data from outlook

Our Exchange server had crashed recently (nothing major) and a reboot of the CAS server resolved the issues. However since then all our domain computers with Lync 2013 clients are prompting for credentials for calendar data from outlook. We would but in
our domain credentials but it still asks. It would sometime ask once a day or sometimes repeatedly throughout the day.
I have look on the forums and tried fixes that included: editing IIS Autodiscover and ESW to use NTLM first , rebuilt lyncs cache in app data etc and none seems to resolve the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: Our Lync 2013 environment is internal only. Only users on domain computers can access the service. We do use a proxy server here for internet but I do not believe Lync is going through the proxy since its internal to our network only. This is NOT happing
to our users with the Lync 2010 client.

Please update your Lync client with the latest version.
You can check the following KB:

Calendar date prompts

I am on 11.1.1.5. I am creating two calendar date prompts begin date and end date for an analysis. I want to be able to generate some kind error message or warning if the user tries to enter a date smaller than begin date in end date prompt. How can I do this?

@Amith, no the link would not accurately satisfy the OP's need. What if the user chooses a valid date (i.e., in the allowable date range), but the report produces no records? The customized "No Results" message, would say, "Please choose a valid date value" and would be incorrect.

How can I do this?@user12301184, what you need to do is this:
1) Create a small report that returns rows if the dates selected in the dashboard prompts are in the valid range, and does not return rows if the dates chosen are outside the range.
2) In the dashboard, move a Section to the workspace and put your main report there. Click on Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and have OBIEE point to the small report created in step 1 with the radio button "Display when report returns rows" checked off.
3) Move another Section to the workspace and put a Text object in the Section. Click Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and point to the same report, but this time choose "Dispay if the report returns no rows."
4) Now in the Text object, put your customized message, "Please choose a valid date range."
5) Finally, in the report itself, you can customize your "No Results" view to say, "There are no records to display for the date range selected."
To summarize, according to the OP's criteria, there are two reasons why the report wouldn't show rows: one, specifically because of the invalid date range; and two -- not explicitly stated, but true nonetheless -- when the report itself produces no rows even though the date range is valid.
My solution takes into account both scenarios. It doesn't give a potential wrong error message like so many applications do when the scenarios are not thought out completely.

Date prompt for Answers report.

Hi,
I created a report in Answers. I created a prompt on a date field which shows when the Account was closed. I foramtted the date field into a custom date format and the results also display in that format. for ex: the format I created was DD-MMM-YY. When I create a prompt for this field the drop down values show as 4/24/2008 12:00:00 AM, But I want the drop down for the prompt to be displayed as the same format as the column i.e DD-MMM-YY. This is for just a regular report prompt (column filter prompt) and not any dashboard prompt. How can I acheive this? Thanks.

hi,
But the prompt displays DD/MM/YYYY. How can I make the prompt also display DD-MMM-YY? Also if I create a dashboard then how do I use the same prompt with DD-MM-YY formatIn both the report and prompt fx use the following syntax and make is prompted on report column "fx"
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ),Dim-Date.REPORT_DATE, 'DD-MON-YY')
