Prompt with Default date (Current Date)

Hi Experts,
I have WEBI Report With Calendar Date (0CALDAY) Object on a OLAP Universe (OLAP Universe built on SAP BW BEx Query).
I need to create a prompt on Calendar Date Object with default value as Current date (systemdate). I need to create this at universe level not at BEx level (No Exceptions).
Looking forward to hear from you.
-Thanks,
Deepu

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your response.

But EXIT Variable has a DEFAULT value in BEx Designer. DEFAULT Value (Current system Date) is populated when a BEx Query is Run. How come it is not properly reflected into BOBJ?. It retrieves the data for Current system Date in BOBJ too when WEBI Query is run but it does not show Current system Date in prompt screen.
I hope you understand my problem.
-Thanks,

    go to edit your dashboard prompt-->edit you date prompt column-->expand option -->set Default selection as SQL Results-->Enter a SQL statement to generate the list of values
    SELECT case when 1=0 then "tablename"."columname" else timestampadd(sql_tsi_day, -1, current_date) end FROM "subject area name"

  • GR Date & Current Date

    Hi

    Hi,
    You may take the print of GRN any time after posting the GRN. Hence, it shows the GRN date (date on which GRN was posted) & current date (date on which the print was taken).

  • Help with Will Print - Current Date to apply to several hundred files

    Hello,
    So I've spent all morning trying to find a solution for my problem, but I know nothing about Javascript, and the more detailed answers I've found are that give step-by-step tips are for older versions of Adobe (I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro).
    My Situation: I have several hundred SOP PDFs that I wanted to add "Printed On: current date" and "Notice: Printed copies of SOPs are only valid for 30 days past "Printed On" date. Printed SOPs must be disposed of by confidential shredding." in the footer. These PDFs are then linked to our intranet where all employees open them to print.
    What I Did: I went to Tools>Pages>Add Header & Footer entered all the information, entered the "Insert Date" then clicked "Apply to multiple files" and thought that I had done everything. However, the date is not changing...it is staying on the date that I did the whole batch of files with the "apply to multiple files"
    What I have found is that evidently i need to do batch processing, with the will print java script to put the following code in (but i'm not sure if this code will put it in the footer?):
    var f = this.getField("Today");
    f.value = util.printd('dddd mmmm dd yyyy h:MM tt   ', new Date())
    but i have no idea where to get to batch processing, will print, etc.
    I can redo the apply to multiple files so that only the "notice" part will be on the right part of the footer, but can some nice forum person give step-by-step for dummies instructions on how to fix this so the date is current on the left part of the footer whenever someone opens the file?
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Right, so I did find the Actions section under tools....So I did Create New Action>More Tools>Execute Javascript
    Then I clicked on the little "Options" box, and all that pops up is an empty javascript window with "/* Put script title here */" Is that were I paste the code I had? Do I leave the /* or erase everything and put the code? Also, i don't see anything about adding a field....
    ...sorry to be dense about this, but this is way beyond anything i've attempted in acrobat. I do appreciate your help though.
    Also, what options will i want selected on the "start with" and "Save to" options...i don't want the end users to have to mess with any prompts or anything, will Start With > a file open in acrobat run the script as soon as that file is opened via the intranet? Also, i'm assuming i then want "don't save changes" so the date will always change? Thanks.

  • Create a BEx variable which should by default contain current date, etc

    Hi,
    I need to create 2 variables: ZDATE01 and ZDATE02.
    They will be used in the following situation:
    0DATETO >= ZDATE01
    and
    0DATEFROM <= ZDATE02
    to only display records on a current "key" date.
    ZDATE01 should be a variable that has current date pre-populated in it on the variable entry screen in BEx Web Analyzer, so that users do not have to type in the date themselves.
    ZDATE02 should be a replacement path variable to be replaced by whatever is the value of ZDATE01.
    How would I accomplish ZDATE01 variable having current date pre-populated in it on the variable entry screen?
    I tried creating ZDATE01 variable with having SAP exit variable as replacement path, but it did not let me.
    Thanks

    Sorry, the previous link was wrong...
    Here you go...

    WHEN 'XXXX'.
    LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE

    L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

  • How to create a prompt with default value as current_date?

    Hello
    I'd like to create a prompt on the dashboard that has current_date as the default value. Is it possible to achieve so?
    Please provide any pointers..
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, no. Presentation variables are declared in a dashboard prompt (see page 44 of this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31767.pdf)
    Any other type of workaround would not be worth the trouble of asking the developers to create the variable for you. One note, the current date may very well already be defined and just not known to you. Can you ask your developer if he/she has a variable that contains the current date or how long it would take to create one for you?
    As a whole, it would be nice to have a set of "date" repository variables if you run Requests based on common date ranges (e.g., first day of current month, last day of current month, first day of quarter, last day of quarter, most recent end-of-year date, etc.) These can be very useful in automating reports so they don't require prompts. Of course, it depends on your organization and what you use OBIEE for...
    We have built many such variables and it has been very valuable to the users and report builders. Just a thought...

  • Delimited Org Unit(having end date Current date) are not coming in Bex output.

    HI All ,
    I have problem with BEx query output while using the Org. Unit Time dependent Hierarchy structure. In ECC side some of the Org. Unit nodes were delimited or their end date set to less than current date. Now this hierarchy is loaded to BW on daily basis those Org. Unit also laoded to BW hierarchy and these nodesare not coming up in our query output. Client wants to see these unit data as it important to him.
    Please suggest  .
    Thanks,
    Arvind Venai

    Hi Arvind,
    As per my understanding, the valid to/end date for Hierarchy should be 31.12.9999. May I know what is Valid To in your case?
    Did yo u check the change happend in ECC for hierarchy is reflecting in BW ?
    There mught be some restriction in BEx Query , please check

    Hi Suresh,
    I have got more idea to do this.
    1 .Build another object of the same field in unv = u201CDate Rangeu201D
    code:
        case when (Date between trunc(sysdate u2013 1) and trunc(sysdate)) then u2018Yesterdayu2019
                 when (Date between trunc(sysdate u2013 8) and trunc(sysdate+1)) then u2018Last 8 Daysu2019
       end
    2. Now Add Yesterday in the defalut for currentdate-1 promp or u2018Last 8 Daysu2019 for currentdate-8 Prompt.
    = @Prompt(u2019Date Pickeru2019,'Au2019,DateX,mono,constrained,persistent,{u2019Yesterdayu2019})
       Create this prompt in the "Date Range" objects. or create a condition, What ever way you want it.
    Please try this and see if this can work without any parsing error.

  • Outlook event export defaults to current date/time

    iCal suddenly started imported all outlook exported events as "Private Event" at the date and time of the import rather than the date and time specified in the exported event.
    Any help?

    As Tom says, it's not the form you should be exporting but its data.  To export as a PDF file the easiest way is to do so is as a report which is restricted to the data in question by means of a parameter in its underlying query.  The report
    layout can mirror the layout of your form of course, and you might even be able to save time in designing it by copying and pasting objects from the form to the report, with both in design view, and then fine tuning the design of the report manually.
    You'll find an example of how to export a report as a PDF file as InvoicePDF.zip in my public databases folder at:
    https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=44CC60D7FEA42912&id=44CC60D7FEA42912!169
    If you have difficulty opening the link copy its text (NB, not the link location) and paste it into your browser's address bar.
    This little demo file exports the current invoice as a PDF file, and also has options for exporting multiple invoices.

  • PROMPT WITH DEFAULT VALUES DOES NOT DISPLAY VALUES THE FIRST TIME

    Hi,
    With one of our scorecard reports, when you select a division, the leader role/leader prompt picklist values do not get populated the first time. Because this is only happening in reports we have written in house, we do not see this happening to the reports that are installed as default.
    Is there any workaround known for this error.
    Thanks and Regards

  • How to fill a prompt in webi with current date?

    A webi report is being generated on BEx Query.
    IN BEx query variables are defined for some date fields to prefill them with current date.
    Foe ex. there is license start date. For this field variable is defined so that in variable screen License start date is automatically filled with greater than or equal to current date(which is system date). WHich is a mandatory variable.
    On BO side, a webi report is being developed on a Universe (based on this BEx query).
    When the webi report is run, the license start date(mandatory variable in BEx) is automatically prompted, but date is not getting prefiiled with current date.
    How to prefill this prompt with current date?
    the prompt should be like
    LIcense start date >= <current date>

    Hi,
    Yes, it isn't possible to reference anything like 'Current Date' in the universe (like you would with a SQL data source).
    The solution I have seen recently goes like this, I don't know the exact details (so I might have some terminology wrong), but someone with ABAP skills should get what I mean.
    Assuming you want to filter on 0CALDAY.
    In ABAP, create a customer EXIT that calculates the current date as a number (so today might be 40651). Do the same for 0CALDAY.
    In the BEx create a formula variable that references each of those, then a Formula Key Figure (I forget the exact name of them) that's just the current day number minus the 0CALDAY number. This gives you the 'age' of that row of data.
    Your Webi report can then have a built in filter (or prompt with a default value) of, say Age <= 30. The report can be scheduled and will always run with the last 30 day's data.
    We actually did the customer exists to show the 'age' in months.
    Sorry I can't explain it any better, but it's working great for us.
    Hope that helps.

  • Current date as default value in scaffolding

  • How to set default value to current date in Webcenter Imaging Application?

    Hi
    I have created an application in Webcenter Imaging and have a field called as ScanDate.
    While uploading documents against that particular application, i want that ScanDate field should default to Current Date.
    I tried setting the default value but it becomes a static date.
    Can anyone suggest me what to do in this case?
    Regards
    ACM

    You can't do that anyway. The default values are saved as part of the VI and a built application can not do that. Instead, you will have to do this yourself by saving the data to a file, loading it and wiring it into a local variable of the control. You can do this, for example, with the configuration file VIs or, if you want to rely on the good work that other people already did, you can go to the OpenG site and download their file package, which includes saving control values to INI files.
