Restrict the dates in calendar dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We have a requirement where depending upon the type of report selected,the users should be restricted in their selection of dates.
Is there any way we could control the dates shown in calendar prompts?
Thanks.

I'm sorry I have misread your initial question. So you want to restrict the calendar. I don't think this is possible, I'm afraid.

Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)

Restricting the data using attributes

Hi All,
I have to restrict the data in my report based on the Order type and Order Status. But these 2 fields are
attributes to Sales Order. Is there any possibility to restrict the query using the attributes of a CHAR.
Rgds,
Nene.

Hi Nene
May be your mate
this is the F1 help text
Selection of Filter Values for Query Definition
This field describes how the selection of filter values and the restriction of characteristics functions when you define queries.
The values from the master data table are normally displayed when you restrict characteristics. For characteristics without a master data table, the values from the SID table are displayed instead. In a number of cases, however, it could be better to display only the values that are in the InfoProvider. The setting "InfoProvider Values Only" is permitted for this reason.
Selection of Filter Values for Query Execution
This field describes how the selection of filter values functions when a query is executed.
Normally the values from the data selected by the query are defined when you select filter values as you execute the query. Only the values for which data was selected for the current navigation status are displayed.
In a number of cases it can make sense to permit additional values as well. The settings "InfoProvider Values Only" and "Master Data Table Values" are allowed for this reason. If you make this selection, the message "No Data Found" may appear after selecting filter values.
and regarding the status 6 records are you sure that the master data related to that is active if not run arrtibute change run that might be helpful

Can we restrict the data to be entered in payroll area

Can we restrict the data to be entered in payroll area?

Hi,
In my lilmited knowledge I think we can only default the payroll area using ABKRS feature.
We probably have to use a user exit of BADI to restrict it.

How can we restrict the date range in the date picker

While selecting any date a pop up date picker appears. In this date picker the users can select any future dates which can be 30-40 yrs ahead. How can customize this date picker so that the users are not allowed to slected date beyond certain range. ...??

Hi user570596,
I think there is no method to actually restrict the date picker popup, but you can use the ApexLib Framework (http://apexlib.sourceforge.net/) to define a min/max value for your date field. This will prevent the user from submitting the page when the date value is outside the defined range.
See http://inside-apex.blogspot.com/2007/03/min-max-value-validation-in-browser.html
for details.

Restricting the Data from the Controller to the BSP

Hi All,
I have a requierment wherein i need to restrict the data that is passed from the controller to the view.
The Scenarion is this !!!
For succession planning and Erec a list of Qualificaitions are displayed for the user to choose from.
SAP uses a standard Catalog SAP_ERECRUITING which contains a list of Qualificaiton. This Catalog is maintained in the view V_T77QC_VIEW.
It uses the same Catalog SAP_ERECRUITING for both Succession Plannin and Erec.
For Sucession Planning the BSP Application is HRSCP_REQ_MNT. The Controller class makes use of the method GET_QUALI_CAT_COMPLETE to get this list.
I need to restrict the list such that it picks up the Qualifications that are maintained in a Custom View rather than SAP_ERECRUITING.
How do i accomplish this?
Goin for Implicit Enhancements is one solution that i could think of. Is there any other BADI or User Exit that does this?
Any input on this is much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Pavithra

Yes!
This particualar method is not the method of the Controller class. It is a series of calls to a method in the standard Class CL_HRRCF_QUALIFICATION.ie.
The Controller class of the page calls the method get_qualis which in turn calls the method get_quali_cat_complete of a different class (which is used else where also) where this particular view is set. So i guess having an additional parameter wont work. Hope i am making sense to you. If i am not understood please let me know i shall elaborate the scenario.
Thanks again for your time.

Date field in Dashboard Prompt

Hi,
Still try to find how I can format date in dashboard prompt.
I have created prompt for Invoice cleared date using calendar format in control.
After pressing go button the format is changed to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS
I want format should always remain to MM/DD/YYYY.
Please let me the easy way to correct this issue.
Thanks,
Poojak

Yikes! I think you may have found a bug...
Seeing your screen shots, I was able to recreate your issue. I tried modifying the database connection feature tab to set a default datetime format, as well as changing the datetime format in the NQSconfig.ini file. Looking at the source code of the OBIEE page, it appears that there is Java script called GFPDoFilters that runs once you click the button (see "onclick" in the source code below). This function seems to be called in ..\OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla\prompts\globalfilterprompt.js.
If you know java script, you can try and play around in there to find where the date is defaulting to, although I'm no java script expert, and messing with core code can potentially void your OBIEE warranties.
You may want to log this as a bug with Metalink and see how they respond to it. I agree with you that it does not make sense to have a timestamp added to a calendar day selector, so hopefully they would look into resolving for the next release.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide the response you were looking for, but I think it may be the unfortunate reality.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do, and good luck!
Regards,
Jason

Date format problem - dashboard prompt - presentation variable

Hi,
I've created a dashboard prompt on a date and defined a presentation variable.
In my report I make use of the following object : TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_MONTH,-12,date '@{pv_afw_start_date}' )
My report works when making use of a drop down list, but when I want to make use of a calendar to select from, I receive the following error
*A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46047] Datetime value 17/11/2009 from 17/11/2009 does not match the specified format. (HY000)*
Is there a difference in the date formats used by the prompt type (drop down list, calendar, ..)? And how you can align them..
Txs for your help.

Timestampadd ask for a timestamp not for a date.
Check here :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/admintool/admintool_SQL14.html
The syntax is :
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 3, TIMESTAMP '2000-02-27 14:30:00')You may have to change your prompt to retrieve a timestamp.
Where do you use your formula ? In a formula column ?

How to restrict the data with Filter in Query - Updated the description

Hi all,
Free Characteristics: u2018Service Orderu2019 & u2018Statusu2019.
Key Figures: u2018Response Timeu2019 & u2018Data Record Counteru2019.
Calculated Key Figure: u2018Resp Time > 1 hru2019.
Only u2018Plantu2019 is in ROWS and u2018Resp Time > 1 hru2019 & u2018Data Record Counteru2019 are in COLUMNS section.
The report looks like the below:
Plant---Resp Time > 1 hr -
Data Record Counter
100--1--
2
101--1--
3
After dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019 , the report looks like the below:
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Data Record Counter
100--111--
1
100--120--
1
101--130--
1
101--141--
1
101--150--
1
I want only records whose u2018STATUSu2019 is u2018Yu2019. The u2018STATUSu2019 is u2018Blanku2019 for Service Orders 12, 13 & 15
and those records should not be there in the report.
The report should be like the below:
After dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019, the report looks like the below:
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Data Record Counter
100--111--
1
101--141--
1
After creating the Restricted KF u2018Countu2019 on u2018Data Record Counteru2019 by restricting u2018STATUSu2019 to u2018Yu2019 and
dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019, the Count shows ZERO :
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Count
100--111--
0
100--120--
0
101--130--
0
101--141--
0
101--150--
0
If I keep the Filter (globally) on 'STATUS = Y' then it returns 'NO Data'.
If I keep the u2018Service Ordersu2019 is in u2018Rowsu2019 and the Filter on u2018STATUSu2019 (u2018Yu2019) then it works fine, but the report should be based on PLANT.
Thanks in advance.

Using variables in the SQL Results in Dashboard Prompt

I use the ff query to limit my results on my dashboard prompt. The variable value is given by a dashboard prompt within the same page.
SELECT Owner.Name saw_0 FROM "iSupport Service Request" WHERE "- Service Request Attributes".Platform =
'@{promptedPlatform}' ORDER BY saw_0
It works fine with this query, only when selecting a particular selection in the prompt that feeds the variable data. Is there anyway to have this particular prompt by default(when the page first loads, load all the values possible prior to filtering by the variable?

Hi Harley ,
The frame labels are 1,2,3 etc
sym.setVariable("subselect" , 0); // in the stage composition ready
Then in the menu you can set the "subselect" variable to 1,2,3 and then call sym.play(sym.getVariable("subselect"));
Thanks and Regards,

Urgent- How to Default Current Months First Date in a Dashboard Prompt

We have requirement that whenever our user clicks on a dashboard it should show the report associated with the dashboard defaulted to MTD.
For example if the user is running the dashboard on 16th Jan then the report associated with dashboard by default should show data from 1st Jan to 16 Jan.
And then latter user should be able to select the dates of his choice in dashboard prompt and the report should show data according to selected date.
Please send some clues or work around for this issue.

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
Regarding Question 3:
If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

Date control in Dashboard prompt??

Hi All:
I am using dashboard prompt to filters date. And I am using Between operator. When I give same date in from and to date then it does not work. If I give one day after to date then it shows ok dates. Like
From Date: '28-12-2007'
to_date: '28-12-2007'
It should show the record of '28-12-2007'(Record exist against that date). But when i give to date: 29-12-2007 then it shows the records of 28-12-2007's date. can any body know what could the problem. Thanks
Ali

Ahh, do you have dates stored as Timestamps in your database or do you just have dates without timestamps. The only way i can think of to overcome your problem is to convert them as chars in the filter rather than dates. Unfortunately, BI EE appends TIMESTAMP clause to all its date prompt values even if you have some other format as system-wide default.
Thanks,
Venkat

Crystal Reports - Charts - Restricting the data points on the X-axis

Hi,
Is there a way to restrict the number of points to display on the x-axis of a crystal chart keeping the number of data points the same.
For example, if the chart plots date vs value points and the data for the chart is from 1980 to 2009. This means the data points on the x-axis appear very close to each other.
I need a way to show the chart with all data from 1980 to 2009 but limited x-axis labels. Is there a way to configure the number of labels to show on the x-axis.
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer.
"Right click on one of the x axis labels and select Group (X) Axis Options...
On the Layout tab there is an option to Skip Group Labels, check this and enter in the number of labels you want to skip". Is there a way to do this from a .NET client or via a formula field in Crystal itself. The data points is going to be dynamic, hence the requirement is to dynamically configure the "number of labels" to be skipped.
Thanks.
