Save Selection w/ Current Date

We have a dashboard prompt that has the business unit and the current date, among other fields. We need to set the business unit as a default saved selection for a group of users. The problem is, the date is also saved in the selection instead of defaulting to the current date. Is there a way around this—to set a saved selection for the business unit, but not the current date?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hello Vb,
This script *shows the created date of a file*. Maybe you can do something with it. With a small change it get the date from the finder add adds it to the file.
set selectedFile to (choose file)
tell application "Finder"
set modDate to the modification date of selectedFile
end tell
display dialog "That file was last modified on: " & modDate
This scripts shows *how long ago the file was created*:
--Part 1:
set selectedFile to (choose file)
tell application "Finder"
set modDate to the modification date of selectedFile
--Part 2:
set curDate to the current date
--Part 3:
if (the year of modDate) ≠ (the year of curDate) then
set ageInYears to (the year of curDate) - (the year of modDate)
display dialog "The file was changed " & ageInYears & " years ago."
--Part 4:
else
if (the month of modDate) ≠ (the month of curDate) then

How to save file as "current date-current time"

Hello,
I'm trying to rename a file as from file.mov to "current date-current time"movie.mov, So the final product should be something along the lines of 08-18-08-12:59:08movie.mov (or whatever format the current date/time is in osx). Any ideas on how I would go about this? Thanks again!

Current date parameter in concurrent program is not not taking current date

Hi All,
I have scheduled one concurrent request running very day @21:30 ,one of the parameter passed is current date ,which defined as default value at the time of defining concurrent program.Surprisingly its taking next day date as parameter.Can someone help me resolving this issue.
From where this current date is taken.
When I am logged in unix as oracle user and executing following query I am getting follwoing results
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
Session altered.
SQL> select current_date from dual;
CURRENT_DATE
05/25/2010 07:40:11
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
05/25/2010 07:40:20
date
Tue May 25 07:40:35 SAUST 2010
When I logged in unix as applmgr user:
SQL> select current_date from dual;
CURRENT_DATE
05/25/2010 04:41:17
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
05/25/2010 07:41:19
date
Tue May 25 07:41:04 SAUST 2010
Unix level date is correct and sysdate is also correct in both cases.
But current_date when logged in s applmgr user is wrong,is this reason for the issue.
If so how can I change it
Version : 11.5.10.2

Thanks in advance

How to display the current Date and time in xslt version 1

but it does not works for me ..help needed????
Edited by: user9519185 on Jan 20, 2009 3:04 AM

Use a formula: =NOW()
Format the cell for Date and Time, with both the Date part and the Time part displayed. Format the two parts as you wish, using the choices in the Inspector's menus.
The cell will update each time the table is recalculated.

How to Get Current Date from MS Access in a Select Statement

From a java method, I want to use JDBC to get the current date from MS Access. In Oracle I would do "select sysdate from dual", but I can't figure out how to do it in MS Access. Here are some of my attempts. I have a table in my Access db called PARM.
//        String sql = "SELECT '0', NOW() FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT DATE() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW()";
//StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
//        String sql = "select { fn now() } from parm";
        String sql = "SELECT Date()";
//java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
        if (rs.next()) {
            return rs.getString(1);
        } else {
               return null;
          }

Why are you getting it as a String? You should be getting it as a timestamp.
Although getString works for me too. There is something else wrong that you haven't shown.
Here is some shoddy, but simple, test code that demonstrates it working.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stats");
    Statement s = c.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT NOW()");
    while(rs.next()){
      System.out.println(rs.getTimestamp(1));
    rs.close();
    s.close();
    c.close();
}

Default selection on current month, week and date

Hi,
We are on Dashboard 4.1 sp3 the same version as BI.
The dashboard report is using LiveOffice connection. We are now facing an issue with default selection on current month, week and date.
The dashboard report drilled down from month, to week, then to date. The dashboard feed -live office report is on month/week/date ascending order - becuase we have running average calcualtion on LO report, it seems have to be in ascending order to get the correnct runnning average.
I tried to on Insertion to change default seletion, it works on month, but it doesnt working on week and daily.
but when LO report is on ascending order, on dashboard column chart the default selection is not on the current month, week and date.
Is there a way to solve the issue. Could anyone please help.
Thanks,

Setting only the TO field on the Created on Field in Selection screen to Current date

Hello,
We have a requirement to Set only the To date in the Created on Field in Selection screen to the Current date, I have tried through Dynamic variable option to set the Date calculation but I am able to see Options to set the Current date to From or From and To Created on Date fields instead of setting the Current date only to To created on Field.
We are in 4.7 and are not supported with user defined variables, Appreciate your inputs on this.
Thanks and Regards

Since you are working with Dynpros , you have to split the screen in two parts, and one for the Showing differenet fonts and other your normal Dynpro information.
you need to use the Method ADD_TEXT Did you check the program DD_STYLE_TABLE.

Selecting based on current date

I wonder how I can set a value in a table based on the current date. I have viewed most of the posts and I found that it is straight forward to get current date. But my problem is to pass that current date for the comparison in my select statement. For example
I can get date using the select statement but I don't know how to use it in the next select statement. See below
select sysdate
from dual;
Like here,
UPDATE PAYMENT (payment_date)
SET (sysdate) /* this does not work */
WHERE pid='8';
So what do I need to do to set the payment_date field correctly? (for the reference my PAYMENT table is shown below for clarity)
CREATE TABLE PAYMENT
     (pid          VARCHAR(15)          NOT NULL,
     rid          VARCHAR(15)          NOT NULL,
     payment_date     DATE,
     due_date     DATE,
PRIMARY KEY(pid));
I would very much appreciate your response. Thank you.
Edited by: user10653046 on Nov 30, 2008 12:30 AM

If I'm not mistaken, you are asking about the basic syntax of an UPDATE statement?
You can find that in the SQL Language Reference. A link to the part where it talks about the UPDATE statement: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_10008.htm#SQLRF01708
An example:
SQL> CREATE TABLE PAYMENT
2 (pid VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
3 rid VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
4 payment_date DATE,
5 due_date DATE,
6 PRIMARY KEY(pid));
Tabel is aangemaakt.
SQL> update payment
2     set payment_date = sysdate
3   where pid = '8'

How to create a Date or time field that automatically saves current date or time?

hello,
i want to know that how to create a Date/Time field that automatically shows current Date/Time when .pdf form is opened.
also want to how to stop user to give input in Date/Time field
currently im putting a Date field but it is accepting user input.
hoping for quick response
Thanks in advance!

You can place the below code in the initialize event of the field to display the current date and time.
Set the language to FormCalc.
You can play around the formats to get the desired format of date and time.
if($.rawValue eq null or $.rawValue eq "") then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")," ", Num2Time(Time(), "h:MM:SS A"));
endif
You can not restrict the input area in Date time field instead you can validate the input while existing the field.
(OR) set the field to either readOnly or protected mode.
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.
