Setting Default Date in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
I defaulted today's date as default date in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. Now I did the same steps in 11g but i don't see the default dates on the dashboard prompt. I am wondering is setting the default date is different in 11g? I am using 11.1.1.6.0 version and i defined presentation variables on the report with START and END
Please advice
Regards

How to set default date value to a field on screen

How to set default date value to a field on screen and allow users to modify it ....

Hello,
In the PAI module, you need to save the changes to the database using the command MODIFY.
Follow an example:
Create or change a message in database table T100. If there is no message with the number 100 in the MYMSGCLASS message class in English, it will be created. Otherwise only the text is changed.
DATA message_wa TYPE t100.
message_wa-sprsl = 'EN'.
message_wa-arbgb = 'MYMSGCLASS'.
message_wa-msgnr = '100'.
message_wa-text = 'Some new message ...'.
MODIFY t100 FROM message_wa.

Not able to import the data in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
I had just build a new development instance from scratch.
Q1) I am getting database connnection error on the Dashboard and when i tried to update row count from physical layer it also throws me an error, as i test i tried to import but i also got an error " The connection has failed", i am able to connect thru SQL Developer. Where does OBIEE 11g look for the tnsnames.ora file.
Q2.) Where and what setting do i need to so that i can add the users in the application roles by searching them in the EM, means the LDAP users. I had gone thru most of the stuff in the web but could not get thru.
Regards,

Ans 1. This is one of the most commonly asked questions on the Forum. I hope you'd search through available posts on the Forum before creating a new discussion. In any case, this might help: http://123obi.com/2011/03/error-the-connection-has-failed-in-obiee-11g/
Ans 2. Have you set up the integration with the LDAP provider or are you looking for help with that too? These should help:

Unable to set default date for Date Picker item using Auto Row Processing

Okay, I have searched through the forum for an answer, and have not found a thing to account for my problem.
First, does anyone know if using Auto Row Processing has problems updating an item/field in a record where the Source is defined as Database Column if the 'Display As' is defined as 'Date Picker (MM/DD/YYYY)'?
I ask this only because I found out the hard way that Auto Row Processing does NOT fetch the value for an item where the field is defined as TIMESTAMP in the database.
My problem is as follows: I have a form that will CREATE a new record, allowing the user to select dates from Date Pickers, text from Select Lists, and entering in text into a Textarea item. The information is saved using a standard (created through the Auto Row Processing wizared) CREATE page level button. After the record is created the user is able to go into it and update the information. At that time, or later, they will click on one of two buttons, 'ACCEPT' or 'DECLINE'. These are Item level buttons, which set the REQUEST value to 'APPLY' (Accept) and 'UPDATE' (Decline). The Accept button executes a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Accepted', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record. The Declined button runs a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Declined', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record.
However, even though the Status Code field is updated in the database record in both Accepted and Declined processing, the Declined_Accepted_Date field remains NULL in the database record (by looking at the records via SQL Developer). WHY??? I looked at the Session State values for both the Status Code and the Declined_Accepted_Date fields and saw that the fields (items) had the expected values after the process that SAVEs the record.
The following is the code from the Accept button Page Process Source/Process:
BEGIN
:P205_STATUS_CD := 'A';
:P205_REF_DECLINE_ACCEPT_DT := SYSDATE;
END;
As can be seen, the Status Code and Declined_Accepted_Date items are set one right after the other.
As an aside, just what is the difference between Temporary Session State vs Permanent Session State? And what is the sequence of events to differentiate the two?

Here's yet another thing that I just looked into, further information...
One other difference between the date field I am having problems with (Accepted_Declined_Date), and other dates (with Date Pickers) in the record is that the Accepted_Declined_Date never gets displayed until after it is set with a default date when the Accept and Decline buttons are pressed.
One of the other dates that works, the Received Date, is able to write a default date to the record that is never typed into the box or selected from the calendar. That date is placed into the box via a Post Calculation Computation in the Source, which I set up as: NVL(:P205_REF_RECEIVED_DT,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'))
However, I do remember actually trying this also with the Accepted_Declined_Date, and setting the Post Calculation Computation did not work for the Accept_Decline_Date. Could this be because the Accept_Decline_Date is never rendered until the Status Code is set to Declined (in other words, there is no need to display the date and allow the user to change it until the record is actually declined)???
The control of the displaying (rendering) of the date is set via the Conditions / Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2
Expression 1 = P205_STATUS_CD and Expression 2 = L
Does this shed any light???

3) change the xdm file with above tagline , my xdm file is in below link-
C:\mw_bi_home\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalog\SampleAppLite\root\shared\zia%2exdm

Hi Kalyan,
i referred this blog for adding tns entries for OBIEE 11g, for windows users.cmd has only one TNS_ADMIN, but in users.sh file there are many TNS_ADMIN and moreover all are are commented out, so i am not sure where and to what i should assign the path.

Set Default Date Format in 4.2 jQuery Mobile Smartphone

Hi guys,
on "normal" Desktop interfaces you can set a default date format in the Globalization settings. Currently I'm working on a JQM app, and I noticed, that the same settings I have for date format in other apps, don't take affect.
I now read in the 4.2 release notes, that somehow this issue was a bit buggy. Is this fixed? I would like to set a german date format like "DD.MM.YYYY"; (as it's working in desktop apps). How can I do it? In global settings this entry gets saved.
But whenever I want to set an individual date-picker-item to that format, it changes back to "YYYY-MM-DD" after saving. And I don't really want to get into writing a conversion function in the dml-processing now.
Thanks for any hints, best regards,
tobi

Hi Tobi,
the "Date Picker (HTML5)" item type maps to the HTML5 input type="date", which requires that the internal format of the date value always has to be YYYY-MM-DD, but it's up to the browser to actually display the date in the format of the local operating system setting. The browser of iOS for example shows the date in the format of my local language/country setting.
See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7372038/is-there-any-way-to-change-input-type-date-format
To make a long story short, it's not possible to specify the display format for those date pickers, because it's not supported by the HTML5 spec.

How to set default date of 3 weeks(21 days) from today's date during page load?

I want to show the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.
For example ,i have given as adf.CurrentDate + 21 in EO for the attribute 'DueDate'. But it is showing me the date as 9.7.2013. 3 weeks default date is not getting set.If i give adf.currentDate also ,it not giving me today's date,it showing the 9.7.2013 only.Kindly provide your suggestions to set the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
when you set the value on the entity level then you don't want to show it during page load but when the field is empty ? Correct? if so then the use case is a different one. The easiest way to implement this would be to create a Rowimpl class (Java option) and then in the get method of the entity attribute check if the value is null and if it is, set it to the current date + 21 days. This way all rows will be set with the 3 weeks due date but fields are not overridden each time the row is queried

How to set default date time in Oracle apps

I am using two parameters as from_date and to_date, with valueset fnd_standard_datetime for both parameters.I want to display the datetime while i run in apps , it should show the datetime as sysdate with time as ex : from_date:07-10-2013 06:00:00 ( Today ) ,to_date : 08-10-2013 05:59:59 ( next day ). the date must be editable.can i have a solution asap. While i used a view , it works but the datetime are not editable .
Regards,
Dinesh

Hi,
You can try this by using the sql statement in the parameter section.
Go to parameter in the Concurrent Screen then for that parameter there is a validation, so you have given the Value set as FND_STANDARD_DATE. Then select the default type as 'SQL Statement' and give the query in the Default Value.

Setting default date range in selection screen when executing as batch job.

Hi Guys,
I have one report to be scheduled as weekly batch job and one of the selection screen field is date range. If i set this report to run today then the date range will be from one week back date(Lower value) to today date(Higher value). When it runs for next week(Already scheduled as weekly batch job) the date range should be like this
Lower value = today date
higher value= next week run date.
How can i achieve this functionality. Is it possible through Dynamic variant concept?. Rest of the selection screen fields have some default values and should not change.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks in advance,
Vinod.
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 22, 2008 3:52 PM

Hi Vinod,
Would suggest you to this.
Create two parameters : p_start_date and p_end_date of type sy-datum on your selection screen , instead of a range.
Now goto create a variant from SE38 for the report.
While creating the variant, mark the "Selection Variable" checkbox for the two parameters and click on "Selection Variables".
Select the option "D: Dynamic date calculation" for both the date fields.
For p_start_date - select the option "Current Date"
For p_end_date - select the option "Current date +/- ??? days" and put 7 in the pop up.
Hence what you have done now is, set up a dynamic variant, where p_start_date will have sy-datum and p_end_date will have sy-datum + 7, everytime the job runs.
Now, in the program, first step after START-OF-SELECTION code the following:
RANGES: r_date FOR sy-datum.
start-of-selection.
refresh r_date.
r_date-sign = 'I'. r_date-option = 'BT'.
r_date-low = p_start_date. r_date-high = p_end_date.
append r_date.
Hence this way, you would have built your range and use it as needed.
Cheers,
Aditya

Setting default date @prompt

I have a @prompt filter like this:
Table.Datecolumn >= @Prompt('Start Date ','D',,mono,free) and
Table.Datecolumn <= @Prompt('End date','D',,mono,free)
I like to set the start date defaulted to '07/01/2009'..so that user need not enter any start date as it is already shown in the prompt display.
Any help?

Hi,
Try to modify your filter expression like this:
Table.Datecolumn >= @Prompt('Start Date ','D',,mono,free,,{'2009/07/01'}) and
Table.Datecolumn <= @Prompt('End date','D',,mono,free,,{'2009/07/01'})
Be careful taht the default value syntax matches the database date format.
This syntax works only for BOE XI 3.1 and upper versions.

Didier
