RegEx to validate date between 1900 & today

Hi,
I have a RegEx which validates the date of birth
(0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)dd
But I want it to validate date of birth until today only from 1900
How can I do that using regular expression?

Thanks for your reply Jan.

I accept the fact that you mentioned above.
I am planning different RegEx for different date formats.
This application need to be called from a PHP page. so don't find any other way to tackle this issue.
Any other info?

How to validate date between Header and Detail Block..

Hi All,
I was trying to find a way where, suppose I enter 'from date' and 'to date' in the header block.then in detail block all 'from dates' and 'to dates' should be restricted between the dates entered in the header block.
Thank you

Or U Can Simply set in the child item lowest / highest Allowed Value
Invoke Property pallete for child date item and set the following
lowest Allowed Value :header.from_date (must be prefix with :)
Highest Allowed Value :header.to_date

Validate Date Range - Javascript

Hi Gang,
This is close to a repost... but more of a followup to a
thread that has
already moved down everyones list.
I have a pretty simple form validation routine I need to
implement, but I
don't know the Javascript syntax well enough to work it out
(my background
is VBscript, but this needs to be client side). I received
some good URL's
to check out some free scripts.. but unfortunately, I don't
know javascript
well enough to hack them up correctly.
If someone can help out with a bit of code, it would be a
huge help.
What I need to do is validate a numeric range as well as not
leaving the
field blank.
For example what is entered must be a number between 1900 and
2006.
Here is what I am using for the basic required function:
The name of the form is "ThisForm_Right", and the field name
is "DOB_Year"
(to explain the piece in the code below)
if (ThisForm_Right.DOB_Year.value=="")
alert ("Please enter the YEAR of your DOB.");
ThisForm_Right.DOB_Year.focus();
return false;
Can some kind sole help with a modified version to also check
for an entered
number range?
I suspect some sort of "And" statement, Like
If
ThisForm_Right.DOB_Year.Value==""
AND
Year.Value NOT between (1900 and 2006)
alert ("Please enter the YEAR of your DOB between 1900 and
2006.");
ThisForm_Right.DOB_Year.focus();
return false;
I just don't know the real syntax :>
Thanks

Shouldn't that be "Thanks so much for the Cod"?

How to compare data between two tables?

Hi,
My team is trying to develop a SAP data migration tool (DMT) using ABAP.
One of the functionalities in the DMT is to validate the data in the staging area against the loaded SAP data.
The tables in the stagin area are customer tables (i.e. user-defined tables starting with Y, Z).
How do I compare the data in the staging area against data that are loaded into SAP tables? Are there some built-in SAP functions to do this? Or, are there some better ways of doing this (e.g. instead of comparing against data in the SAP tables, we compare with some INTERNAL tables)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Kian,
Use SCMP transaction to compare data between two tables and you can not use this for comparing internal tables.
Thanks,
Vinay

Validate Date Range in inputDate component

Hi
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
I have an inputDate component which on click i need to give dates from today to future dates not passed dates.
So i have included 'validate date time range' component in the inputDate component and in the minimum property i have declared 'adf.currentDate' using expression builder and set the maximum as Jan 31,2099.
But when i execute my application i am able to select passed dates using the inputDate component, please help how can i check the date using a validator in inputDate component.
Thanks
Sudeep

ya i had tried with that property too....
i have declared minValue as adf.currentDate and on that it changes the value of maxValue to current date in Jan 3,2012
i have convertDatetime component in my inputDate to display the selected date in certain format.
It gives error as the format doesnot matches with the convertDatetime and inputDate component.
How can i use the minValue and maxValue of inputDate component?
the component:-
<af:inputDate
label="Planned Termination Date"
id="id2"
value="#{modifyuser.pterminationdate}"
valueChangeListener="#{modifyuserfields.plannedTermDate}"
minValue="adf.currentDate" maxValue="2099-12-31">
<af:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MMM-yyyy"/>
</af:inputDate>

Validate Date and block JavaScript page change

how I can validate date acrobat, can block JavaScript page change, only change with a button?

If you use the "util.scand" method date validation is part of the process. It either returns the number of milliseconds from the Epoch date used by JavaScript for the date time object the null value.
Date Arithmetic has some sample scripts, but you need to keep in mind that Date and Time are not independent and using "new Date()" returns the date and time at the time that line of code is executed and that can cause issues for the computing of dates only.
Are you sure of day count, most differences include the start and end dates in the number of days for the calculation.
Custom calculation for today's date field (format is None):
// get today's date an time
var oToday = new Date();
// set to start of day
oToday.setFullYear(oToday.getFullYear(), oToday.getMonth(), oToday.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
// set field value
event.value = util.printd("d/mm/yyyy", oToday);
Custom calculation for the difference in days field (format None):
var cEnteredDate = this.getField("EnteredDate").value;
var cToday = this.getField("Today").value;
event.value = "";
if(cEnteredDate != "" && cToday != "") {
// process only if date values not empty
// convert date strings to date time objectat midnight
var oEnteredDate = util.scand("d/mm/yyyy", cEnteredDate );
if (oEnteredDate == null) {
app.alert("Error in processing entered date", 2, 0);
oEnteredDate.setFullYear(oEnteredDate.getFullYear(), oEnteredDate.getMonth(),oEnteredDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
var oToday = util.scand("d/mm/yyyy", cToday);
if(oToday == null) {
app.alert("Error converting today", 2,0);
oToday.setFullYear(oToday.getFullYear(), oToday.getMonth(),oToday.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
// convert date objects to days
var nEnteredDate = Math.floor(oEnteredDate.getTime() / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
var nToday = Math.floor(oToday.getTime() / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
// compute & format the difference
event.value = util.printf("%,0 1.0f", (nToday - nEnteredDate));

Best way to pass secure data between servers

Hello,
In the not to distant future my company wants to expand our
site to include a single sign-on, this will be made possible with
the 3rd party group that handles our customer info. Can someone
enlighten me as the most secure method of transferring user data
between these locations?
What has been proposed is to pass the login from our site to
the 3rd party, if successful pass back certain data, display and
possibly update on our site and then pass this back to the 3rd
party server.
Is CFLogin the most powerful method for login? I've used
query checks in the past, is that adequate or is CFLogin much
better? Any pointers are appreciated.

"Is CFLogin the most powerful method for login? I've used
query checks
in the past, is that adequate or is CFLogin much better?"
Neither, CFLogin is really just a specific purpose IF block.
Code
within the opening and closing <cflogin...> tags is run
when a user is
not logged in with the <cfloginuser...> tag. Inside
this block one
still needs to validate the credentials provided by the user,
often with
a query check.
The <cflogin...><cfloginuser...> combination
provides an easy to
interpret and use mechanism to run conditional code and
persist a user
login state from request to request. It is basically
equivalent to ones
own <cfif...> logic combined with session data for the
user state.
Under the hood it is using the same mechanisms.
I usually prefer to roll my own solution because I often want
to store
more state data about a user then is allowed with the
<cfloginuser...>
tag and the related getAuthUser() and isUserInRole()
functions.

This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server.........

Hi everyone,
I am having issues with a couple of BlackBerry's, where they are receiving a message on their phone saying:
"This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server."
Email is from "[email protected]"
This has only appeared since installing the BlackBerry Desktop Software version 6.
We have used the link below which resolved the issue on one of the BlackBerry's but on the other neither of the options are there.
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04254&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
The link I have just posted references to version 5, just wondered if anyone knows how to resolve it in version 6 or some other option. Original email is still received fine but want to stop the other email about "This message is used to carry data between.......".
Thanks in Advance.
Kevin

An alternative, if you cannot stop it via the two recommended fixes, is to send those messages to your jiunk folder at the email server level so that they never reach your BlackBerry...

Copy data between cubes

I need to copy data between two cubes (through a business rule). Can I do it using Partition/Replication? If so, does anyone have an example on how it is done? I'm currently using @XREF, but that does not transfer data for blocks that don't already exist in target database.
I'm very new to this so a detailed description will help.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, partitions are great. I like to use replicated partitions because I can control the data, and deal with integrity issues etc. Your usage may vary.
Basically, you go to your "Source" database, go to the partitions menu, and "Create New Partition". You then walk through each of the tabs in the partition menu
Type Tab: Choose the type. Let's say a "replicated" partition.
Connection Tab: Choose what databases will be connected with the partition
Areas Tab: I like to check the "Use Text Editor" to just type out the formulas. Also check the "Show Cell Count" to have some confidence your formulas are working as planned. Here you define what data moves from source to target. For example I might setup the following
Source:
("Actuals Data"),
@LEVMBRS("Province",0),
@GENMBRS("Company",2)
Target:
("Actuals Data"),
@LEVMBRS("Province",0),
@GENMBRS("Company",2)
If the names don't match, you can adjust that in the advanced properties or mapping properties. (If you have multiple slices of data - use the advanced mapping).
Now validate and save

This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.

I have a client with a BlackBerry Pearl 8110. It was (is) configured to receive email from a Microsoft Exchange Server via his Outlook account. I have uninstalled the Desktop Manager and re-installed ensuring the computer transmits his email via the Re-Director. All settings in the Desktop Manager are correct. The phone was working fine for over 5 years. Now he is getting emails both on his phone and in Outlook saying:
This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.
I have verified that his phone is not attempting to perform the Enterprise Activation process by checking :
Options > Advanced Options > Enterprise Activation.
He does however have a Service Book entitled "CMIME"
How can I resolve this issue?

Is the user needing the Redirector service?
Step 1: If you're not using Redirector or Enterprise, you should uninstall Desktop Manager and then reinstall it using the BlackBerry Internet Service option.
Step 2: On your device, go to: Options > Advanced > Service Book, and delete all service books for [Desktop]

Date between sysdate-50 and sysdate problem

hi,
i have a big big problem and i need some help
I have oracle 8i and 10g databases installed at work. i have a problem with an select statement that brings data from 3 tables.
The select looks like this:
select mms_id, img_id, mms_usr_id as usr_id, mms_pvd_id, mms_data as data
from vsc_mms vm, vsc_image vi, vsc_user vu
 where img_mms_id = mms_id
 and mms_usr_id = usr_id and usr_client_id = cli
 and img_mms_id <> 0
 and mms_status =0
 and mms_data between data_ini and data_end .......is not very important; the joins are made all right. What is important is that:
vsc_mms has aprox. 3.000.000 recordings
vsc_image has, also, aprox. 3.000.000 recordings.
select count(distinct img_date) from vsc_image =657.021
select count(distinct mms_data) from vsc_mms >=600.000
On both tables there are, among other, index on mms_data, img_date.
Now, my data_ini and data_end come from java (user send data_ini and data_end through http:// ) OR i can put this select in a procedure like:
declare
datai date:=to_date('20.01.2006','dd.mm.yyyy');
datae date:=to_date('30.01.2006','dd.mm.yyyy');
......my select ..... and mms_data between data_ini and data_end
the select takes on 8i more than 30 seconds. the same select takes on 10G quite same long time. i also run the select using
and mms_data between sysdate-50 and sysdate and i got the same long time.
Also important: this select brings almost 30 recordings; when the restrictions are too severe and the count(*) =0 the result is brought in 0.01 seconds; outherwise, when count(*) >1, is ruinous.
But, if i put and mms_data between to_date('20.01.2006','dd.mm.yyyy') and to_date('30.01.2006','dd.mm.yyyy'), the response come in 1 seconds or less.
1. Can someone help me and tell me why i got this long time for response when i use sysdate or when receiving data_ini, data_end like parameters from java
2. is it true that for a better usage of a index, the procent of repeatedly recordings has to be small? I mean when i have 600.000 distinct recordings from 3.000.000 is it good or not to use index on that column?
thanks in advance

How to get two hard drives to be seen on MBP desktop. I need to be able to see 2 hds both 3 tb to transfer data between them. This is easy in windows just open two instances, one for eac hard drive. TIA robbo

am trying to back up and transfer data between two hard drives but cant get up twp Hd icons at the same time. It is so easy in windows but cant seem to do it in MBPro. Even Dick Smith couldnt help me today.
It is probaly so easy it everyone will LOL but I cant get it happening.
TIA Robbo

Do the HD icons appear on your Desktop?
If not, adjust your Finder preferences:
Also check "Hard Disks" if you want your internal HD to appear on the Desktop.
Open one, open the other, should be no problem.
