Search Help Error while Publishing Query in Explorer

Question

Hi All,
We have upgraded BW from version 3.1 to BI 7.0. SP level is 15. When we publish query in Explorer, selection screen appears, we get error in selecting variable(Fiscal Year/Period) entries from search help. After selecting a value from a list of possible entries, the format is changed on the screen.
For example:
If we select 002.2002 for variable FiscalYear/Period, we get
002 02 i.e. it is truncating 20 from 2002.
Now, we have to manually enter the values.
While executing query in BEx analyser, no such error occurs.
What will be the solution?
Regards,

Hi,
I have added the below query in the EBS dataset to retrieve only unique applications as APPLICATION_NAME column has some duplicate data. I imported data to DB.
select distinct(APPLICATION_NAME) as NAME from APPLICATIONIs there any table in OIM schema which you have named APPLICATION? AFAIK, applications from EBS are imported into Lookups in OIM and you will have to query lookup to get the Application name in OIM.
But, when I try to filter on application I get below error
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00936: missing expression
Error Code: 936
Call: select distinct(APPLICATION_NAME) as NAME from APPLICATION WHERE UPPER ( DISTINCT(APPLICATION_NAME) ) like UPPER('%%') The UPPER ( DISTINCT(APPLICATION_NAME) ) like UPPER('%%') clause here is wrong. What are you trying to achieve through this query?
