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.

  • Filter Page Prompts based on Dashboard Prompts Presentation Var

    Hey, No one has faced this issue? Can I get some inputs please?
    Hi,
    I have a requirement where in I need to filter the multi-select values in the page prompt, based on the presentation variable that is set by dashboard prompt. Oracle said that its a bug,
    that once a presentation variable is set, we can't use that in SQL, when using multi select. But, I am wondering if anyone has some work around solution for this?
    TO be more clear, here is the explanation.
    I have a dashboard prompt that is selected initially in a page, which sets a presentation variable. Now, in another page, I want to use a multi-select prompt, which take the SQl values that filters based on the presentation variable set initially. But, this is not working. I am not able to filter values when I use the SQl like, "select .. from ..where var = presentation_var."
    If anyone has any workarounds, thats appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, no such functionality, at least not yet.
    Build two dashboards, one for the business users and one for the technical users. Then build a third "cover page" dashboard with two links using the Link or Image object. One link will say "Business Users" the other "Technical Users" and the links will take them to their own dashboard with just the prompts that concern them.
    If you want to bypass the "cover page" idea, you can use Portal Path to direct all business users to the "business" dashboard and the technical staff to the "technical" dashboard based on their login.
    Check this out for how to do this:

  • Customer Aging Report VT Label Exclusion and Modification of Date Format

    Hi Folks!
    I need your thoughts on how to remove the 'VT' label in all amounts of the Customer Receivables Aging Report.... Since it is a system variable, and already have the VT label when it is called, any remedy on how to remove this?
    In line with this also,
    We would like to modify the date format of the Aging Dates at the Header of the Table of the Report. The system returns the date format YYYY-MM-DD. We would like to change it to DD-MM-YYYY. I used the Concat and date functions provided in the Formula in PLD... but it returns mismatch error.
    I have searched through the forum and find no answers with this. I know that this will help also other users with the same concerns.
    Thanks a lot.

  • APEX_ITEM.DATE_POPUP  and ORA-01830: date format picture ends before conver

    Hi,
    I am using apex_item.date_popup for a custom tabular form.
    When I load the form with the default sysdate it works ok. However when the user submits an invalid date I get: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.
    Ex: apex_item.date_popup (2, NULL, ac.my_date, :f_date_format, LENGTH (:f_date_format), LENGTH (:f_date_format),NULL)
    Where f_date_format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'...
    If I enter 'abc' in this field and click submit, my validations find that it is an invalid date, so I reload the page with ac.my_date is the value that the user entered (ex: 'abc'). This will cause the error...
    I understand why the error occurs, but is it correct that it does happen? Any ways around this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Scott,
    I found the work around. I'll try to make this code more readable later on.
    1: Create a HTML region with the following code:
    Note: F02 is the "Column" for my date field:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function genCalF02(pRowNum,pYyyy,pMm,pSecurityGroupId)
    elemArrLen = 0;
    if (document.forms[0].f02.length) {
    elemArrLen = document.forms[0].f02.length;
    elemArrLen = '&F_DATE_FORMAT.'.length;
    pMm = '' + pMm;
    if (pMm.length == 1)
    pMm = '0' + pMm;
    w = open("wwv_flow_utilities.show_as_popup_calendar" +
    "?p_element_index=" + escape('f02' + '['.substr(0,elemArrLen) + pRowNum + ']'.substr(0,elemArrLen)) +
    "&p_form_index=" + escape('0') +
    "&p_date_format=" + escape('&F_DATE_FORMAT.') +
    "&p_application_format=" + escape('Y') +
    "&p_bgcolor=" + escape('#666666') +
    "&p_dd=" + escape('') +
    "&p_hh=" + escape('') +
    "&p_mi=" + escape('') +
    "&p_pm=" + escape('') +
    "&p_yyyy=" + escape(pYyyy) +
    "&p_lang=" + escape('') +
    "&p_application_id=" + escape('&APP_ID.') +
    "&p_security_group_id=" + escape(pSecurityGroupId) +
    "&p_mm=" + escape(pMm),
    "winLov",
    "Scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=258,height=210");
    // TODO "?p_element_index=" + escape('f02' + '['.substr(0,elemArrLen) + pRowNum.substr(0,elemArrLen) + ']'.substr(0,elemArrLen)) +
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    w.focus();
    </script>
    In you're query (or how ever else you are calling apex_item.date_popup)... use something like this instead:
    WHEN is_valid_date(my_date) = 'Y' THEN
    apex_item.text (2,
    my_date,
    LENGTH (:f_date_format),
    LENGTH (:f_date_format),
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL
    ) || '<a href="javascript:genCalF02(' || (ROWNUM - 1) || ',' || TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (my_date, :f_date_format), 'YYYY') || ','
    || TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (my_date, :f_date_format), 'MM') || ',' || apex_custom_auth.get_security_group_id
    || ')"><img src="/i/asfdcldr.gif" align="middle" alt="Calendar"/></a>'
    ELSE
    apex_item.text (2,
    my_date,
    LENGTH (:f_date_format),
    LENGTH (:f_date_format),
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL
    ) || '<a href="javascript:genCalF02(' || (ROWNUM - 1) || ',' || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY') || ','
    || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'MM') || ',' || apex_custom_auth.get_security_group_id
    || ')"><img src="/i/asfdcldr.gif" align="middle" alt="Calendar"/></a>'
    END as xxx
    This creates the text box with a date popup window beside it.
    Again, this is not pretty code which can probably be done in a function etc.
    Hope this helps anyone else who has the same issue.

  • TMG with 2010/2013 Coexistence gives dual prompts (TMG and OWA prompt)

    2 X 2010 CAS', Load balanced pool
    4X 2013 Mutilrole (will take the place of the 2010's in the load balanced pool)
    Currently we use TMG to publish owa externally.  From TMG, the traffic goes to a load balancer, and to the 2010 CAS's from there.  TMG is doing pre authentication.
    However, if I take the 2010 CAS' out of the load balanced pool and enable the 2013 in the load balanced pool, users start getting dual prompts - one at the TMG, and then the 2013 OWA login (no mailboxes on 2013 yet, so have only tested with mailbox still
    on 2010).
    I have been through both of the following articles - however, basic auth. is not an option on the exchange side, as then internal users get prompted for windows credentials.  Has anyone in coexistence been able to get this working without basic auth
    (currently use Basic, Windows Auth, and NTLM)?

    Hi,
    As document mentioned, Forefront TMG cannot perform authentication delegation therefore we need change FBA to basic authentication in Exchange 2013.
    However if you don’t want use basic authentication, we can try to disable pre-authentication on the TMG server by new web listener and select the "Do not require SSL secured connections with clients.".
    Also, I find an similar thread about your question. For your reference:

  • Numbers dont see data format from excel - how to import excel doc and have correct data format?

    Have a problem with excel doc when open in Numbres - all datas are wrong - numbers cant read correctly a excel date. How do I fix it?

    I was hoping this would be one of the bug fixes in the recent update. There was something in there about improved Excel compatibility.  I have yet to have this problem with Excel dates so I cannot test the new version to see if it is any different. What version of Numbers are you using? Did you update to the latest version (3.2)?

  • Diff between Oracle 9i and 10g with date format MON in FRENCH language

    Hi,
    With a session in FRENCH language, when i do:
    SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') from dual;
    The result in 10g is:
    TO_CHAR(SYSDA
    27-juil.-2005
    The result in 9i is:
    TO_CHAR(SYS
    28-jul-2005
    Where is the problem and how can i have the same result in 10g than in 9i ?
    Thank you for your help.

    This behaviour is documented in the Oracle Database 10g Globalization Guide; it also includes the steps on how to revert back to the Oracle 9i locale definitions.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10749/applocaledata.htm#sthref1769
    Please note that 10g is using the correct convention, the Oracle9i locale definition files will be desupported in a future release.

  • Can you control format when setting variable from dashboard prompt?

    I'm setting a session variable from a calendar date prompt in a dashboard prompt, and the variable is referenced in a calculation in the business model. I'm initializing the date prompt from another variable which returns format TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00', and the initial load of the dashboard is successful. After changing the value of the date prompt, the query fails because the prompt sets the variable to 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
    My question is: Is there any way to control the formatting when setting a variable from a dashboard prompt? I would like to get the timestamp format.
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Issue with siebel 7.5 dashboard prompt and grandtotals

    Hi Group
    We are having a weird issue on a dashboard page in 7.5 version.On our dashboard there is report with columns like area,area values and area values column is being filtered with a dashboard prompt.
    The dashboard prompt is working fine by applying the selected filter value but we are doing subtotals by area and grand total at the end.The subtotal and grandtotal are not changing with the filter value selected.
    Say we want to see area only having area values >=40000 the report is showing right areas applying this filter to areavalues,but the subtotals and grand totals still showing up for all areas and not for selected areas as per the filter.But when we run this report individually in Answers we are getting right subtotals and grandtotals by applying filters.
    I know description may not be very clear for you guys but can give you any kind of clarification you want in detail.
    I believe this is somekind of bug in this version.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks a lot.

    Quit the applications that you are not using. Monitor RAM usage with your Activity Monitor. Add more RAM, 6 Gigs is the max on your model.
    When your Mac runs out of RAM, it starts using swap files on your hard drive, shown as page outs in Activity monitor. Your hard drive's speed performance will be noticeably slower than your RAM's speed.
    Activity Monitor will also allow you to identify which apps are using the most RAM. The app is in your Application's Utilities folder.
    Plus, Mid 2007 iMacs's (iMac 7.1) can run Mavericks, it's free, and will make better use of your RAM than Lion, IMHO.
    P.S., If you actually have an iMac 6.1, it's a Late 2006 iMac and is limited to Lion.

    hello,
    i have at the dashboard a calender prompt for a column of date format and a pres variable for that value ('DAY'); i placed in the report a column of which content (fx) is @{DAY};

    Changing the ini files should change the date format. Have you amended the correct instances of the date format? In dbFeatures there is one for every ODBC connection.
    For example in my DBFeatures.INI
    [ DATA_SOURCE_FEATURE = ODBC_300 ]
    DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy' ;
         TIME_FORMAT = 'hh:mi:ss' ;
         DATE_TIME_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss' ;
         IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR = '"';Also a file on the presentation side in OracleBI \web\Config called localedefinitions.xml.
    Inside that there appears to be defaults for localisations - maybe it is possible to amend your locale in the Administration settings of the dashboard.
    However, I haven't tried this sorry.

  • Problem related to Dashboard prompt

    Hi friends. I'm new to OBIEE field and I'm stuck in one of my report. My dashboard has 2 reports and dashboard prompt fiscal year. Fiscal year in both the reports comes from different tables; thats why prompt doesn't sort both the reports simultaneously. I can't change the report format due to nature of the database table. Can you please suggest me some alternate way to filter both the reports on (Fiscal Year dashboard prompt).

    I think a presentation variable in your DB-prompt will help. Store the chosen year as for example 'year' and let both the dashboard reports use this presentation variable in their filters for "fiscal year"

  • Prompting issues on dashboard pages

    I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
    -- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
    -- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
    -- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
    For example:
    Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
    This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
    The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?
    Edited by: user8090364 on Apr 14, 2009 3:19 AM
    Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

    Hi John
    They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
    Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.
