Syntax for NOW() in date function

Hi all
What is the syntax for NOW() in Date function? Can anybody help me..
Thanks&Regards
Hema

Here's how I used it.
In VC select an expression box. When creating it, ensure you have the data type DATE selected and provide a field name. If you don't select a date data type, it will not work (the default is text).
In the Data source field section, under the Expression field, select Formula, Under Date Functions select NOW(). You can also format the date
If you want to select yesterdays date, use the following formula:
DADD(NOW(),-1,'d')

OData Syntax for Now()

Hi
I am wondering if it is possible to incorporate the Now() function in an oData statement. If so, what would the oData command look like. Ultimately, I am wondering how to write the $filter=... so that I capture date fields for data that is a
few days in the past, or a few days in the future.
Any help greatly appreicated
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hello,
Project Online uses Odata v3 which doesn't have the Now() function available, this was introduced in OData v4 which Project Online doesn't use. If using Power Query you can use the date.now function with OData queries.

Syntax for WriterLoginName in Data Warehouse DB

Hello
I'm having a few issues with our management servers writing to the Data Warehouse DB. I've checked the 'Management Group' table and can see the WriterLoginName is set to
DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw - however, i'm just querying whether that field should read
sv-scom-dw
The account is in fact a domain account. It's listed as the 'Data Warehouse SQL Account' & 'Data Warehouse Action Account' (under Administration > Run As configuration > Accounts).
We have two entries in the database security (rights over OperationsMangerDW), one as DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw & a local SQL login called sv-scom-dw. Both accounts have the following permissions: apm_datareader, apm_datawriter, db_datareader, db_owner, OpsMgrReader,
OpsMgrWriter, public.
We're a SCOM 2012 R2 environment. All servers are 2012 R2, SQL is also 2012 standard.
Anyone faced a similar issue before? I'm seeing a lot of alerts in the Monitoring section for the Data Warehouse. One in particular:
Data Warehouse failed to discover performance standard data set. Failed to enumerate (discover) Data Warehouse objects and relationships among them. The operation will be retried.
Exception 'SqlException': Management Group with id ''5F201AB2-4B10-7FCC-C716-B2361102248D'' is not allowed to access Data Warehouse under login ''sv-scom-dw''
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Discovery.StandardDataSet
Instance name: Performance data set
Instance ID: {B81C47FB-A80D-0FE5-A8DB-DC4544FC8DA6}
Management group: ******
As you can see from the alert the account referenced is 'sv-scom-dw' and not 'DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw'. Which is why I originally asked, should the field in the management table be updated?
Thanks, David.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses, I shall provide an event ID shortly. In response to Mai, I've followed the link you've posted and I'm now checking the 'data source and related settings', so i've gone to http://localhost/reports on the Warehouse server (which
also hosts the reporting), and i've got the following error:
The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database. You must either restore a backup key or delete all encrypted content. (rsReportServerDisabled)

Syntax for previous months data

For some reason I cannot get the syntax of the previou month correct. Here is what I have used.
("Date"."Calendar Month" IN (SELECT case when 1=0 then "Date"."Calendar Month" else timestampadd (sql_tsi_month, -1, current_date) end FROM "RProBIEE"))
However it doesn't like this. I get an error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

I think it is saying that the it doesn't like (sql_tsi_month, -1, CURRENT_DATE) however If I use CURRENT_MONTH it doesn't like that either.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello... The data type for the "Date"."Calendar Month" value is TINYINT. So i assume you are right that i need to CAST this so that it matches CURRENT_DATE. Or perhaps maybe instead I need to CAST current DATE as TINYTINT to match? Do you happen to know the syntax? This is what I have but it's not working. I get syntax errors.
"Date"."Calendar Month" IN (SELECT case when 1=0 then "Date"."Calendar Month" else (cast (timestampadd (sql_tsi_month, -1, current_date))))

Syntax for querying between dates with ADO

Hello,
I am connecting to Oracle tables using ADO in Microsoft Access. I am not familiar with Oracle Sql. I am trying to execute the following query string but am not retrieving and records:
strSql = "SELECT COUNT(*) " _
& "FROM CCC2.CASE_EPRP WHERE CALL_DATE >= '1/1/2002' " _
& "AND CALL_DATE <= '2/1/2002'"
I can retrieve a record count if I only have the first date, but if I use the date range above the query returns zero records even though there are records for that date range. Could someone explain the correct way to write this query?
Thanks,
Rich

You really don't want to rely on implicit string to date conversion ever. Oracle will use your NLS date settings to do the conversion, but different users (and different databases) may have this set differently, so one user might have '2/1/2002' convert to February 1, 2002 while another user might have it convert to January 2, 2002. A third user might not be able to convert the string at all.
The proper way to do this is to use either Oracle syntax
"where call_date >= to_date( '1/1/2002', 'MM/DD/YYYY' )
and call_date <= to_date( '2/1/2002', 'MM/DD/YYYY' )"
or to use the ODBC date escape sequence, {d }, to create the dates.
If this isn't the problem, there may be issues because Oracle dates have a time component. If you don't specify a time, Oracle will default to midnight, so any call_date records after 12:00am on 2/1/2002 won't be found.

I can't get the syntax for a table defined function to work.

Specifically I'm trying to use a table type definition in my function.
CREATE TYPE "MYSCHEMA"."TT_MYTABLE" AS TABLE (
"Field" varchar(12)
CREATE FUNCTION "MYSCHEMA"."MYFUNCTION"()
RETURNS TABLE ("MYSCHEMA"."TT_MYTABLE")
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT
All the function examples use an actual field definitions and not an predefined table type. I've tried the above and a bunch of other variations but I get a syntax error on all of them.
This is the documentation page;
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_hanaplatform/helpdata/en/20/d42e77751910149f0ff6b879b1290f/content.htm
They don't show any examples using the table types and I can't seem to make sense of " <datatype> ::= <sql_type> | <table_type>".

If you read the grammar correctly then I think it is not possible. Table UDF does not allow return table type that refers to another structure type definition but only elementary sql_type
I think what grammar you refering is from input parameters
Table Functions must return a table whose type is defined by <return_table_type>. And Scalar Funcitons must return scalar values specified in <return_parameter_list>.
Defines the output parameters
<return_table_type> ::= TABLE ( <ret_column_list> )
Defines the structure of the returned table data.
<ret_column_list> ::= <ret_column_elem>[{, <ret_column_elem>}...]
Defines the list of columns returned from the function.
<ret_column_elem> ::= <column_name> <sql_type>
<column_name> ::= <identifier>

What is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.

Hi to all
1.....what is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.?
Thanks and regards,
k.swaminath reddy

hi
good
Lets do simple example where you will first create a RFC in one server (say A) and create normal program in othere server (say B). Finally you will call the RFC in A from B.
Do the following steps for creating RFC in server A.
1. log on to server A
2. go to se37
3. Edit -> function groups-> create function group and give the function group name (say ZGRP).
4. create a FM ( say Z_TEST_RFC) in se37 providing the function group which is created just now.
5. go to attribute tab -> choose remote-enabled module from processing type.
so that your FM will become RFC.
6. provide the import parameter in import tab.
we will provide only two import parameters.
- parameter name : P_NUM1, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value (all the parameters of RFC must pass by value).
- parameter name : P_NUM2, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
7. provide the export parameter in export tab.
parameter name : P_SUM, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
8. write the given simple code in source code tab.
FUNCTION Z_TEST_RFC.
P_TOT = P_NUM1 + P_NUM2.
ENDFUNCTION.
Do the following steps for creating ABAP program which will call the RFC in server B.
1. se38 - > creat a program.
2. write the given simple code.
data tot type i.
call function 'Z_TEST_RFC' destination 'XXXXXX'
exporting
p_num1 = 10
p_num2 = 15
importing
p_tot = tot.
write tot.
please note that XXXXXX is RFC connection which is avialable in sm59 transaction in server A.
-go to sm59 - > abap connection (list of RFC connection configurations are avialable). choose server B connection and replace it of XXXXXX in the code.
finally you can execute the normal abap program that will call the RFC and display the result.
reward point if helpful.
thanks

Which is correct Syntax for IN function in SQL expressions filters?

Hi,
I want to build a report which looks at the last 4 snapshot dates.
I obtained each snapshot date using this filter
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 7 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) A
now the second one would be:
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 6 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) B
third one
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 5- dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) C
4th one
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 4 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) D
to simplify them let's call the filters A, B , C, D
so, my sql expression should be like something like Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" in 'A', 'B', 'D', 'C'
I have tried to combine the below, with brackets and comma separated, without brackets, with single quotes and without, but I always get a syntax error.
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" in TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 7 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 6 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 5 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 4 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) )
It doesn't seem to like the IN function either.
Any idea?

Take each of these filters and union them in your answers report.
This way, you filter down to exactly the last 4 days.

Due Date function for Reminders

Apple needs to incorporate the due date function into the Reminders app so we don't have to do this separately from the icloud website
This is obviously a glitch,   if we complain enough maybe this will be fixed
currently the only way to set due dates for reminders requires being sneaking as this article explains
this needs to be fixed
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57495293-263/how-to-set-a-due-date-for-moun tain-lion-reminders/

I've found a way, but it's annoyingly complicated:
1. Export your reminders list (produces a .ics file)
2. Open the .ics file with a plain text editor (I used TextMate, but I'm sure any editor would work).
3. Search for the reminder.
     -Say you are looking for "Homework 5", you should find something like this:
          SUMMARY:Homework 5
4. Below that field (but before END:VTODO) there are 2 fields:
          DUE;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121108T140000
     and
          TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121108T140000Z
5. TRIGGER is when you want to be reminded. DUE is the missing due field if it doesn't match TRIGGER.
6. Modify TRIGGER to a legit time (24-hr, of course):
          TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121107T180000Z
7. Save and Import the modified .ics file back into a new list in reminders. Then, delete the original list.
8. You should see the due field now and be able to edit the dates natively within the app.
9. You're killing me, Apple. The due field would be extremely useful, especially for students like me. I wish the presence of the due field were toggle-able in Settings>Reminders.
10. While I'm ranting about my wishes, the repeat feature would be much more useful if the frequency were completely customizable (i.e. Repeat every [#] [wks/hrs/days] or Repeat every [1st/2nd/3rd/etc.] [Day of week] of every [1st/2nd/3rd/etc.] [month/week] and so on... ).

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Not really, that function is a start, but to calculate the true ammount of work days there are a lot more variables to take into account. For instance, easter depends on the easter sunday which isn't a fixed date. In one year it may be in may, in the next it's in april. So defining a list of holidays (as done in the function in your example) isn't going to cut it. Therefore I mentioned implementing the function in Crystal Reports is a hard job which I wouldn't gladly take on. In the meantime, I've come upon an other solution using SQL Server 2005. It's possible to use assembly's in SQL Server, so I compiled the function as an assembly and loaded that into SQL Server. I needed information from the database for my reports anyway, so now I'm able to do the calculations in the views in the database, instead of leaving that to Crystal. Somewhat of a different solution, but it works for now. It would be great if future versions of Crystal would support the loading of assembly files though

Bapi/function module to get opening or closing stock for a posting date

I am creating a report where i need to get the opening stock value and closing stock value for the given starting date and ending date respectively for the PP report.
The T-code for that is MB5B.
So,can any1 plzz tell me how i can get the stock value for a starting date/ending date...
Is there any BAPI or function module to find this out..
or any logic?
Thanks.

Hi Kiran,
You would like to findout opening and closing stock of a particular period and of a particular period....
If we would like to findout opening and closing stock of material A as of 18 / 8 / 2008,
then do like this.
go to MBEW table .. there u get opening stock as on today. Today the date is 20/8/2008. from today's opening stock if we add / subtract the movements which have happened on 19/8/2008 and 18/8/2008 u'll get opening and closing stock as on 18/8/2008.
U get the movements from MKPF ( material doc header) and MSEG (material doc item ) based on posting date. In MSEG u get movement type.
If the movement type is 101, it means the stock is added.
If the movement type is 102, it means the added stock is reversed.
from today's opening stock deduct the stock with moverment type 101 and add the stock with movement type 102.
This will give u opening stock as on 18/8/2008.
To get closing stock of 18/8/2008 ..... the opening stock of 19/8/2008 is 18/8/2008's closing stock.

Date Functions( first day of a month that is 3 months from now....)

I have recently written my first stored procedure.
Its rather a bunch of SQL statements.
I had to hard code lot of dates. most of them are first day of the current monthe or last day of current month etc.
I thot of parametrizing all the dates, but if a business person has to include all the parameters they could go wrong and get the wrong results.
Now, I want to use date functions to achieve these requirements:
Can any one please throw some insght into this:....
1) First day of current month,
2) last day of current month.
3) first day of previious month
4) last day of previous month
5) first day of a month that is 3 months from now.
6) last day of a month that is 3 months from now.
7).....
Can any one please throw some light on any one of this.. I can try to work from there onwards ....
Thanks a lot in advance,

I have a client who was working with Now to Date, which is now obsolete. She is looking for a mac calendar program that is as close to Now to Date as possible. She has installed Outlook 2012 but finds that is takes too much time to enter data. Help?

I have a client who has been using Now to Date on her Mac. That program is now obscure and she is looking for software that is extremely similar. She has tried Outlook for Mac and it is too labor-intensive for her. She wants a professional look, and something that is not linked to e-mail as she works with a lot of proprietary information. Help?

I could not identify that app in macupdate.com. If a Calendar program, what about iCal? did she try it and disliked? If you go to macupdate.com, and type ‘calendar’ in seach filed, you will be given a lot of apps, you or she should test what it most appropriate for your/her needs.

well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new.
