Searching Date Ranges

Can you do a search on date ranges in the contains clause? I am using USER DATASTORE so I am able to store alot of information under one index. Included in this information is the date a record was entered. I would like to have the ability to search on a range of entery dates.

Hi Neil
Hope the following steps will give the workaround solution to solve the problem
1a. Create the characteristic field 'Next Review Date'.
1b. In Basic data tab-->Value Assignment : Tick mark Multiple Values & Interval Values.
1c. In Values Tab enter the date ranges that you need to define
          For Example:
                              01.05.2011 - 30.05.2011
                              01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
                              01.07.2011 - 30.07.2011
                              01.08.2011 - 30.08.2011
1d. Save it.
2a. Assign the characteristic to the class.
3a. Go to CV01n.
3b. In Additional Data tab, you can view the characteristic field that you have defined. For example 'Next Review Dateu2019
3c. Now you can enter any interval values between the dates that you defined for the characteristics.
      For example 10.05.2011 / 20.06.2011 / 25.07.2011 / 30.08.2011 or any value between the range. (If the value is not
      between the range (ex: 10.12.2011) then the system will throw the error.
3d. Save the DIR.
4a. Go to Cv04n>Classification Tab> Press 'F4' key on the characteristic. Now you can select the interval and search the required documents.

Multi Mailbox Search Date Range Results Inaccurate

Hi All,
I have an Exchange 2010 server with SP3 /RU3 installed. When I do a multi mailbox search using OWA /ECP and put in a start and end date from the Date Range dropdown box, my search results shows me more than just the intended date range of emails. For
example; if I request just a particular month and year, my results will show a couple of years worth of emails not just the one month that I requested.
If I do the same exact search using PowerShell command the results are accurate, they will show only the one month. We could use PowerShell commands but we'd would rather use the OWA /ECP console instead. To me it seems like a bug in the code. Has anyone
else experience this issue or have a resolution?
Thanks in advance.

Possibly, this could be BUG.
Haven't experience this kind of issue...

Neen help with date range searches for Table Sources

Hi all,
I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
TRACKNUM Varchar2
TITLE Varchar2
SUMMARY CLOB
SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
Timestamp Date
OBSDATE Date
GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 24-MAR-07, 22-SEP-), 02-FEB-08, etc.)
And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
Thanks, in advance….

raford,
Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
thanks very much!

How do I change the default "date range" when searching in the forums?

Hi all,
New to the SAP forums... How do I change the default date range when searching in the forums? I am getting a 90 day search by default. Then I have to change it and search again. Argh!
Thanks,
--Amy Smith

Hi Amy,
the default date range cannot be changed by users. It is defined system-wide.

EasyDMS - search by date range for characteristics of type date

Hi Folks,
I have a characteristic of type date in the additional data of a DMS document. If I enter the date (for example validity date) as 08/31/2009 and search using cv04n and give a date range for the characteristic (i.e. 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009), the search result will bring up the document.
However, I cannot do this from the EasyDMS find function. I need to specify an exact date. This is not very helpful for user who need to find documents with a validity date between 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009 for example. Is there a way users can search for date range in EasyDMS find function?
Thanks,
Lashan

To search a date range with EasyDMS Client you have to set the registry key
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\EasyDms\Generel\DateSearchPick to Value 0
Then you can use the input field like in SAP-Gui. (01.01.2009-31.01.2009)
If you set the value to 1 or the key is not defined you can only search for one specified date.
If you don't find this key on your PC create it as dword.
Maybe you must restart you PC for takeing effect.
Hope this will help you.

Regarding date ranges in search criteria in oracle forms

I am using employee number,name, person type, and date ranges as search criteria in custom form.
when I enter employee number, hit the find button, I am getting the exact info in the result block.
Result block contains
employee name,personid,emp numb,org,start_date.
Similarly when I enter employee number,dept, I am getting correct values.
My question here is, when I enter date range. Iam unable to filter data.
When i enter START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') at where clause in the result block. I got data for the date range also.
if I give condition in the where clause, results are taking so much time when i search with employee name,number,dept,person type.
If i query with date, persormance is good.
Do u any know,how to prevent START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') when we search with employee name,number,dept,person type.

Initailly Ididnt given any code in the where clause of the result block. I got data in the result block when i search with employee name,number,person type,dept etc except date range.
If i give date range, irrespective of the date, getting all the data.
after that i added code to the where clause of the result block. Now i am getting data for everything.
like, when i query with employee name,number,even date range also.
My question here, performance.
when I query with date range, data is coming in expected time in the result block.
when i query with dept, taking much time since date range logic exist in the where clause of the result block.
I need to restrict the where clause only to the data ranges. Where clause should not necessary for employee number,name,person type dept search criteria

Date range searches - not working

Whenever I use a date range on a OTN forum search, the results are not what I expected them to be. For example I did a search for JUnit within a timefram of 30 days and my own posts don't show up.
Is this a known issue?

As usual no response...

Search by date range

This should be simple but I cannot get it to work. Trying to
construct a page where the user enters a start date & an end
date & we display results.
I am using :
SELECT *
FROM AVRmonth
WHERE ExpiryDate BETWEEN #varStart# AND #varEnd#
In the Variables editor I have:
varStart % Request("startFld")
varEnd % Request("endFld")
This fails to work, DW gives the error of "Syntax error in
query expression 'ExpiryDate BETWEEN #%# AND #%#
If I change default values to be a date, eg: #1/1/04 DW gives
no error but query does not work
If I use no variables but just use :
SELECT *
FROM AVRmonth
WHERE ExpiryDate BETWEEN #01/01/04# AND #01/06/05#
It works & displays results from that date range.
I think I have tried all combinations of using # ' to
surround variable names but still no joy.
I am sure this is something blindingly obvious but I cannot
see it.
Can anyone please help...........

Issue with Date Range Search

Hi, I am doing a search on a table using a date column having index defined on it.
when I am using below query:[Here 26-OCT-2010 is the current date.]
SELECT *
FROM cs_incidents_all_b
WHERE incident_date BETWEEN TO_DATE ('25-OCT-2010 00:00:00',
'DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
AND TO_DATE ('26-OCT-2010 23:59:59',
'DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
Explain plan statistics is - Cost : 4, Bytes: 559, Cardinality:1
If I run the same query by changing the dates and with 1 day duration, the cost is increasing significantly:
SELECT *
FROM cs_incidents_all_b
WHERE incident_date BETWEEN TO_DATE ('01-OCT-2010 00:00:00',
'DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
AND TO_DATE ('02-OCT-2010 23:59:59',
'DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
Explain plan statistics is - Cost : 3,643, Bytes: 2,217,553, Cardinality:3,967
And if I increase the date range, the cost is becoming too high.
If anybody faced this proble previously, kindly help me to resolve.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.

Searching by a single date or date range.

I would like to be able to search by a single date, @StartDate, or by a date range , between @StartDate and @EndDate. I am having a hard time with the logic on this for a report in SSRS.

Hi MJohnson629,
According to your description, you want to use @StartDate and @Enddate parameters to filter report, right?
In your scenario, you could create two report parameters (@StartDate and @Enddate), then specify a filter as date field between @StartDate and @Enddate in main dataset. Please refer to steps below:
1. Create two parameters, select the Date/Time for Data type. You could specify the date field as available values or not give available values.
2. In main dataset, specify the filter like below:
3. Preview the report, select values for parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Increasing the date range in generic search

Hello,
Is there an easy way to increase the date range in generic search to more than 1 year (the last year option in the dropdown)?
Our release is ecommerce 7.
Many thanks
Stefan

Check if the BAPI is able to give results for more than a year. If thats possible, add new select options to the jsp of the search view.

Defining Date range and using the same range to search the documents.

Hi Sap Gurus,
in our business there are some documents which do have Validity period, like say Inspection certificates and valid for say 10 months, ex.. JAN 25th 2009 to Oct 24th 2009
we store this certificate in DMS and link to some SAP object say an Asset,
we have a requirement to list all the documents based on the expiry date range. say to get a list of documents which are about to expire in 15 days, or the list of documents which have already expired
I tried to define a characteristic in date format, but it is a single value field, and search is only supported on that specific value only.
like we cannot serch the DIR falling in between this Date Ranges.
also report of Documents which are to expire in 15 days could not be got.
is there a way to meet this requirement , if it is through a development also please tell me how the logic could be built
Thanks and regards
Priya S

Hi SAP Gurus,
Thanks much Thomas for your Promt reply.
The solution provided by Thomas really works but the same thing is not possible in EDMS,
in Easy DMS we cannot manually give any value in the date characteristics field, the system will ask to fill from the date window format.
so we cannot enter < or > <> value in characteristics, hope there is any note or other procedure to get the same funtionality.
please if any one worked on the same with EDMS let me know
Thanks and kind regards

How to Search BPM Processes for a Given Date Range through a VC Report

Hi All,
We have a VC component build to view the BPM process information. Here we are supposed to provide a Date range option for searching the processes. But the Range search is not working.
I tried in below ways.
1. On Action Submit, I set the Occurance_D value as "=DSTR(@DATE_FROM,"M/D/YY")&" - "&DSTR(DADD(@DATE_TO,1,"D"),"M/D/YY")" it is working only if there are processes existing either on DATE_FROM or on DATE_TO, otherwise its not working.
Like, I have 5 processes triggered on Sep-5-2011, then if i give the Date Range as 9/5/11 - 9/11/11 or 9/1/11 - 9/5/11 it is working. But if I give 9/1/11 - 9/11/11 it is not working.
I tried this way as well.
=DSTR(@DATE_FROM,"M/D/YY")&" : "&DSTR(DADD(@DATE_TO,1,"D"),"M/D/YY") . Even this is not working.
Can some one please help.
Regards,
SrinivaS

Dear SrinivaS,
The main things you need to consider are:
- store your date value from the UI in a store
- the store gets used to submit a filter string in format (MM/DD/YY) to
BI_START_TIME_D.
If you follow http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw72/helpdata/en/81/541300d147
41b39057c8ab3be61f7a/frameset.htm
you find that the process data source can be filtered in format "9/9/11
- 9/12/11" for field BI_START_TIME_D and BI_END_TIME_D.
The trick is now at submission time to concatenate the strings
accordingly and submit to BI_START_TIME_D. Use the following dynamic
expression
=DSTR(store@START_DATE_FROM,"MM/DD/YY")&" - "
&DSTR(store@START_DATE_TO,"MM/DD/YY")
to format the string during submission. I was able to verify this on my
machine. I hope that also your locale settings work with this
implementation.
Find attached a link to a small sample application [(test_date.zip) |please find attached a small sample application (test_date.zip) which]which shows you the proper usage of a date picker in conjunction with the
process data source. Please import the zip file into VC and deploy it.
Best regards,
Ralf.

Forum search doesn't seem to work for Date Range 'ALL'

Hi there,
Forum search doesn't seem to work for Date Range option: 'ALL' .
For a given search criteria, I get few search results when the date range is chosen as 'last year', but for the same search criteria, when the date range is chosen as ALL, no search results are shown (not even the ones shown earlier for last year selection).
