Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

How to insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type

Guys,
I need insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type, when i am trying to that getting error.
error message says: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."
I have data in table a col1,col2,col3,col4 - col3,col4 has datatype as varchar and i am updating table b columns col1,col2 with table a col3 and col4.
Please guide how to do it.

Hi,
Not any String can be convert to uniqueidentifier.
1. you have to make sure u use a value which is fir to be uniqueidentifier
2. Use convert or cast in the insert query in order to convert the string into uniqueidentifier
insert X ... convert(uniqueidentifier, 'string which fit to be convert to uniqueidentifier')
Please post DDL+DML for more specific help
DDL = Data Definition Language. In our case that is, CREATE TABLE statements for your tables and other definitions that are needed to understand your tables structure and there for let us to test and reproduce the problem in our server. Without DDL no one
can execute any query.
How to get DDL: Right click on the table in Object Explorer and select script table as CREATE. Post these create table scripts here.
DML = data manipulation language is a family of queries used for manipulating the data it self like: inserting, deleting and updating data. In our case we need some sample data in order to check the query and get result, so we need some indert query for
sample data.
If you post a "create query" for the tables and "insert query" with some sample, then we could help you without Assuming/Guessing. There is a reason that DDL is generally asked for and expected when discussing query problems - it helps
to identify issues, clarify terminology and prevent incorrect assumptions. Sample data also provides a common point of reference for the discussion. A script that can be used to illustrate or reproduce the issue you have, will encourage others to help.

How to compare the date value with the date datatype column?

Hi,
I am executed a query to get output for the particular date in two different database.
I got output in one db environment, but in the another environment i didnt get the output.
APP_DECISION_DATE column contains date datatype
ex:
SQL> select DECISIONED_STAGE_ID,DECISIONED_STAGE_USER_ID from naap10_application where APP_DECISION_DATE = TO_DATE('23-JAN-07',
'DD-MON-YY'); 2
DECISIONED_STAGE_ID DECISIONED_STAG
2006060106 SYSTEM
DATABASE - II
SQL> select DECISIONED_STAGE_ID,DECISIONED_STAGE_USER_ID from naap10_application where APP_DECISION_DATE=
TO_DATE('31-JAN-2007','DD-MON-RRRR') and application_id=2007010028552;
no rows selected
in the same db i got the output while i used the TO_DATE(APP_DECISION_DATE)
SQL> select DECISIONED_STAGE_ID,DECISIONED_STAGE_USER_ID from naap10_application where TO_DATE(APP_DECISION_DATE)=
TO_DATE('31-JAN-2007','DD-MON-YYYY') and application_id=2007010028552; 2
DECISIONED_STAGE_ID DECISIONED_STAG
2006060113 SYSTEM
is it necessary to use TO_DATE function while i am using the data datatype column in the WHERE CLAUSE?
Thanks in advance.
siva

Sorry & thanks sathish,
Now i got the result.
SQL> select DECISIONED_STAGE_ID,DECISIONED_STAGE_USER_ID from naap10_application where APP_DECISION_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE ('31.01.2007 00:00:00', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE ('31.01.2007 23:59:59', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
2 and application_id=2007010028552;
DECISIONED_STAGE_ID DECISIONED_STAG
2006060113 SYSTEM
================================
But one doubt,
When i created the column with the date datatype how it gets the time value,
And in one environment db i got the result but in another environment i dont get,
Shall i want to change any session status of date?

Show all Columns with datatype = date

Is it possible to select all columns with datatype = date in the Repository.
We like to cast it like dd.mm.yyyy.

Stefan

Wouldn't it be easier to do it in the presentation services rather than the .rpd?
Update: anyways, if you wanna be nasty, use something like this:
CONCAT( CAST ( DAYOFMONTH("Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 2 )), CONCAT('.', CONCAT( CAST ( EXTRACT( MONTH FROM "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 2 )), CONCAT('.', CAST ( EXTRACT( YEAR FROM "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 4 ))))))

I am having trouble getting a numbers spreadsheet to hold different formats in the same column. A column with a date formatted heading will not convert to $ for the cells below.   Any suggestions would help.

Hi Wayne,
Thank you for this response. I have tried this but when I start enterring $ amounts some, such as $6.00, go in OK others such as $4.00 appear as a date ie 4 Oct 12.
Kind regards

Date column with format mask 'hh12:mi pm'

let's say the user input record as shown below :
trip At01 At02
1 9:30 AM 12:30 PM
At02 & At02 are date column with format mask 'hh12:mi pm'. When the user input 9:30 and tab to next item, the column will display as 09:30 AM. Then when user input 12:30 at AT02, it will display as 12:30 PM.
Anyway, if I enter 1:00 at AT02, it will display as 01:00 AM. Actually I want to display as 01:00 PM. I still can go back to the field to edit it manually but is there a way that I can do as mentioned ?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Shu Wen

You are going to have to write your own validation logic to do this - You'll have to decide what point AM shoudl be defaulted and what point PM should be used. I don't think that there is a format mask that provides this functionality.

HT4972 I tried to update my iPhone 3S with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

I tried to update my iPhone 3GS with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

Error in viewing data in a data template with multiple data sources

Hello,
I have designed a data template with two data sources.One is from DEPARTMENTS table and the other datasource is a xml file.Following is the code for the data template :
<dataTemplate name="EmployeeListing" dataSourceRef="demo">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_DEPTNO" dataType="character" defaultValue="20"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME,DEPARTMENT_ID,LOC from DEPARTMENTS]]>
</sqlStatement>
<xml name="empxml" expressionPath=".//ROW[DEPARTMENT_NAME =$DEPARTMENT_NAME]">
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">file:///D:\OraHome_1\xmlp\XMLP\DemoFiles\Employee Salary Report.xml</url>
</xml>
/dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
The problem is when i am trying to view the data, only data from SQL Query Q1 is getting displayed and the data from Employee xml is not at all getting displayed.
Could anyone please let me know what i am missing?
Thanks
Nutan

This is from Documenation sample....
Did you see the data structure section, where you say, how you wanted the columns ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
<dataTemplate name="Employee Listing" description="List of Employees" v
ersion="1.0">
<parameters>- Defines a single parameter for the Department Number
- with default of 20:
<parameter name="p_DEPTNO" dataType="character"
defaultValue="20"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT DEPTNO,DNAME,LOC from dept
                  order by deptno]]>
</sqlStatement>
<xml name="empxml" expressionPath=".//ROW[DEPTNO=$DEPTNO]"> - Defines name
- and link to DEPTNO in Q1
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
file:///d:/dttest/employee.xml</url> - Defines url for xml data
</xml>
</dataQuery>-
<dataStructure>- The following section specifies the XML hierarchy
- for the returning data:
<group name="G_DEPT" source="Q1"
<element name="DEPT_NUMBER" value="DEPTNO" />
<element name="DEPT_NAME" value="DNAME"/>
- This creates a summary total at the department level based
- on the salaries at the employee level for each department:
<element name="DEPTSAL" value="G_EMP.SALARY"
function="SUM()"/>
          <element name="LOCATION" value="LOC" />
<group name="G_EMP" source="empxml">

Formula Created in BI Query appears in Universe as Measure with No Data

Hi,
I have created the universe on top of SAP BI Query(Which is built on Infoset).
There are some formulas created in BI Query as mentioned below:
Eg: Status1=
                    If Completion Code = null then Status1 = 0
                    If Completion Code = =10,11,18 then Status1 = 1
      Status2=
                     If Status1= 1 and Field Completion Date <= Regulatory Due Date then Status 2 = 3
                     If Status1= 0 and Report Date <= Regulatory Due Date then Status 2 = 4
In the Universe I get Status1 and Status2 as Measures.
When I use these Measure Objects in WebI report, I donu2019t see any Data for these objects in WebI Report. Both the columns for Status1 and Status2 appear Blank with no data in it, although I get the data in SAP BI Query for both Status1 and status2.
Is there any issue with the formulas to be used in SAP BI Query?
Are Formulas supported in Business Objects from SAP BI Query?
regards,
Nisha

Hi Ingo,
I tried running the standard test MDX in MDXTEST and I got the data for those calculations.
But I wonder why there is no data in WebI for those formulas(Key Figures)?
In Standard test MDX the MDX Query is as Follows:
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY [Z_WM_IS01___F98].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ON ROWS
FROM ZWM_M02/Z_ZWM_M02_Q001 SAP VARIABLES
[!V000001] INCLUDING [Z_WM_IS01___F15].[3]
Based on above Query I created the WebI report which includes the objects as described below:
one Dimension Object Notification Number which is equivalent to [Z_WM_IS01___F98].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS from above query.
Selected All the measures objects available in query which refers to [Measures].MEMBERS
And one Prompt on Region which is equivalent to [!V000001] INCLUDING [Z_WM_IS01___F15].[3]
Why there is no data for Calculation columns (Key Figures Status1 and Status2) in WebI Report???

I want to update timestamp(3) column with respect to varchar2

I want to update table2
create table t1 (id number,date1 timestamp(3))
insert into (1,' ');
insert into (2,' ');
insert into (3,' ');I want to update t2 with date column in t1
can any one help me

Test them and make sure they work before you post them. You forgot the table name (after the keyword INTO).
insert into (2,' 3/14/2011 10:22 AM');
insert into (3,' 3/15/2011 10:22 AM');
I want to update table2
create table t1 (id number,date1 timestamp(3))This is the same name you used for the other table. I'll assume you meant to say t2 here, not t1.
insert into (1,' ');Don't try to insert a string (such as ' ') into a TIMESTAMP column, You can INSERT a literal NULL, or simply not INSERT anything into that column.
insert into (2,' ');
insert into (3,' ');I want to update t2 with date column in t1Use TO_TIMESTAMP to convert the string into a TIMESTAMP:
MERGE INTO     t2     dst
USING (
           SELECT id
        ,        TO_TIMESTAMP ( date1
                          , 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM'

UPDATE value in column with value in SAME TABLE

Hi all,
Here's my issue...
I have a table which records all incidents for a person.
The table looks something like this:
tbl_connect(person_Id NUMBer,
OLD_ID VARCHAR2(24),
CASE_NUMBER     VARCHAR2(10),
CASE_TYPE     VARCHAR2(10),
PERSON_ROLE     VARCHAR2(30),
INCIDENT_TYPE     VARCHAR2(40));
The table is populated from a source table with all fields except person_id. Person_id is a sequence number that gets generated if the person comitting the incident is a NEW PERSON to our system. OLD_Id is the unique identifier between the source table and tbl_connect to identify a person.
The problem: If an existing person commits a new incident, a new record will be inserted into tbl_connect without PERSON_ID. Since the person already is in the database the person_id already exists in tbl_connect for that person. I now need to UPDATE person_id column with the person_id that already exists for this person. How can i achieve this.
Ive been trying all sorts of update queries but nothing seems to work. ANy help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Frank,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Here is a sample table.
I know it's a bit confusing. The data that is being dumped into this table is information from a old system. The OLD_ID is in here because it is the relationship between this table and the old table. PERSON_ID is new to this system to identify a person uniquely. That is why i need them both in this table for right now.
So say my tbl_connect got populated with new info from the old table. As you can see, old_id=567A has comitted another incident. Since he already exists in tbl_connect, now i need to update person_id with the value of 1. Does that make sense now????? If old_id did not exist, all i would do is insert a new row and set person_id to the next sequence number.
TBL_CONNECT
PERSON_ID OLD_ID      CASE_NUMBER CASE_TYPE
1     567A     12345          IR
1     567A     15236          MV
     567A     98547          IR<--newly inserted record of same person

Let's look at your stylesheet -
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url(assets/images/Business%20Men%20In%20Reception%20Col.2.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #003;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
It's a good idea not to use spaces or any punctuation in your filenames when working for the web.
#header {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
#heading {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
There's no need to specify the default values (font-variant:normal) or to specify auto margins for any block element without an explicitly defined width. And wouldn't it make more sense to put the font style on the body tag, where it will inherit into the rest of the page than to restate it as you have done in the next rule?
#bodytext {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-variant: normal;
width: 300px;
#container {
width: 960px;
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
.rightimg {
float: right;
margin-left: auto;
padding-right: 40px;
#heading #navbar ul li {
padding: 30px;
</style>
Margin-left:auto can't work without knowing what the width of the element is.... Keep your CSS lean and targeted - it will help you to debug your layouts.
