Use Yesterday as variable for Query Filter

Post Author: rrburton
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
I want to have a query filter that refers to the previous day.  In regular SQL I would use something like "= trunc(sysdate)-1".  I don't see any option for doing it this way in web intelligence, the closest it comes is selecting object and then assigning the Beginning of Last Week item from the System Date table.  What am I missing?

Nevermind - I figured it out just now.  It isn't very intuitive.  In the Objects and Variables dialog in the SystemDate table there are a bunch of items like 1 day, 2 days, etc. and you select one of those and then in the code it looks like:
WHERE   PKG_NTD_CONV.TO_ORCL_DATE(TROUBLE_TICKET_ARCHIVE.CREATE_DATE)  =  ( sysdate )-1
It should say something like 1 day ago, 2 days ago, etc.

  • Can we create range variable for Query Key Date

    Hello Gurus,
    Can we create a range variable for Query Key Date ? when I tried to give a range of values for Query Key Date, I am unable to find Range Values option. I found only Single Values.
    so, Please let me know if we can use Range variables for Query Key Date ??
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Aarthi

    Hi Aarthi,
    This is relevant for the time dependant master data that is being pulled in thw query. Like if you are using a nav attr in the query and this nav attr is time dependant, then which record (from the char master data) is to be pulled into the report, depends upon the key date that you specify.
    The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
    Hope this helps...

  • How to set enviroment variables for Inso Filter

    Hi everyone,
    I want to convert word documents to html using CTX_DOC.Filter.According to the documentation,I know I neednot set the 'Inso Filter'in the preference when creating index,but I must set enviroment variables for Inso Filter.
    I found the following instructions for it in the 8.1.5 documentation,but I can't understand it well.Is there anyone can tell me how to set enviroments variables for Inso Filter on Windows2000 Server?(My DB version is 8.1.7EE)
    Environment Variable Locations
    All environment variables related to Inso filtering must made visible to interMedia Text. Set these variables in the following locations:
    listener.ora file. This makes the environment variables visible to the extproc PL/SQL process.
    The operating system shell from where ctxsrv server is started. This makes the environment variables visible to the ctxsrv process, which does background DML.
    Any suggestions are apreciated

    NSAPI plugins are normally configured using parameters specified in magnus.conf and/or obj.conf. What plugin requires you set an environment variable?

  • How to use one Bex Variable for two purposes in one query?

    Hi,
    I want to prompt for a UOM in a query. Then I want to use that one UOM variable to do 2 tasks in the query:
    1. Perform a UOM conversion on one restricted key figure (no filtering)
    2. Filter in a second restricted key figure (no conversion)
    How would I use a variable (or two?) to do this? I do not want to have 2 UOM prompts.
    Thanks!
    Gregg

    Oh, it all seems so easy now!  Hindsight 20-20...
    Solution was to create a new input ready variable for Unit.
    1. Restrict the key figures which need restricting using new variable
    2. For conversions, in BI backend us T-code RSUOM and create new conversion type associated with new variable. Then for each key figure needing conversion, set the conversion parameter to use the new conversion type.
    Between both 1 & 2 above, the same variable is used & thus prompted only once.
    Solution works perfectly.... as it should. Hope this helps someone else!

  • SPSiteDataQuery - filter by file Title - Can I use variable for the filter value?

    I use SPsiteDataQuery to search across multiple lists and filter by file title. I have the file title information in a variable.
    Can I use variable in the filter value?
    string fileName = "Policies.doc"
    SPSiteDataQuery spQry = new SPSiteDataQuery();
    spQry.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>fileName</Value>"

    If I have understood correctly, you want to search based upon a File title in all the sites. You can include a query to filename in the spQry
    spQry.Query = "<Where>" +
    "<Eq>" +
    "<FieldRef Name=\"FileLeafRef\"/>" +
    "<Value Type=\"Text\">" + fileName + "</Value>" +
    "</Eq>" +
    "</Where>";

  • How to use a global variable for reading a query resultset in JDBC lookup?

    Hi Friends,
    Using JDBC lookup, I am trying to read from a table Emp1 using a user defined function. In PI 7.0, this function returns values of a single column only even if you fire a " Select * " query. I am planning to use a global variable(array) that stores individual column values of the records returned by a "select *" query. Need pointers on as to how a global variable can be declared and used to acheive the above scenario. Kindly explain with an example. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Amit.

    Hi Amit,
    Sounds like a good idea but then you would need an external db and update the table in a thread safe way !.
    Regarding your question as to how to work with global variable please refer https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1352. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

  • Error when using "inlist operator" in the query filter of Webi 3.1

    Hi,
    We are currently in the process of migrating Deski to webi (BOXI 3.1).
    The problem is, Deski is using the "inlist" operator which is working fine but after migrating to webi the inlist operator in the query filter is throwing the below error,
    *Error Message :*
    A database error occured. The database error text is: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis. (WIS 10901)
    Appreciate your assistance on this.
    Thanks !
    Regards,
    Perialt

    Karthik ,
    Yes I am seeing an additional paranthesis in Webi SQL query.
    For example plz consider the product table below,
    SELECT
    Product.ID,
    Product.Name
    FROM Product
    WHERE
    Product.Name IN ( @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free)  )
    As a work around in Custom SQL, If I remove the paranthesis the below query is running fine in webi
    SELECT
    Product.ID,
    Product.Name
    FROM Product
    WHERE
      Product.Name IN  @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free) 
    But I want a permanent solution.

  • Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
    For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
    Thanks
    DR

    You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
    If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

  • CF Set form.variable for query and Next/Previous pages error

    I have a CF form with a select that posts to a CF "action" page.
    On the action page I: CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber#
    I CFOUTPUT the 'ItemNumber' into the CFQUERY (which is an Inner Join dependant on the '#ItemNumber#')...
    All of the above works just fine and displays the database fields in color alternating rows, per the rest of the code.
    Here's the problem:
    I'm displaying 40 rows on a page per "Next and Previous" code. (CFPARAM name="start" default="1" and CFPARAM name="disp" default="40" along with the rest of the NextN code in the header and body). This does display 40 rows on the page and puts a link at the bottom of the page "Next 40 Rows", etc.
    Note: I'm only querying the database once and using the query (query name="data") to populate the table rows And the NextN code (CFOUTPUT name="data") And (CFIF start + disp GREATER THAN data.RecordCount, etc)...
    The problem happens when you click the "Next 40 Rows" link to display the 2nd page of rows. Since (I'm assuming) this NextN code is 're-reading' the same page from top to bottom, an error is thrown when the code tries to read the CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber# at the top of the page.
    With the #form.ItemNumber# on this action page Originally coming from the previous posting of the form to this action page, when the "Next 40 Rows" link is clicked and the NextN code re-reads this action page - the CFSET ItemNumber (#form.ItemNumber) is not getting populated and throws the error...
    I hope I've not made this sound confusing.
    I can get the NextN code to work when I'm just querying the database without "flying in" a form variable. But when I CFSET a variable (#form.ItemNumber#) that is inserted into the query, the second page of the NextN throws an error and doesn't display.
    I would include the page code here but it would be fairly lengthy and, as well, the NextN code is a 'standard' CF code -- I've narrowed the problem down to the above "Element is undefined" (when the page tries to reload from the "Next 40 Rows" link) and am hoping there's a simple fix or another way to display the records in Next and Previous pages.
    Thanks to anyone in advance for shedding light on this.
    - e

    Thank you for the reply, Owain.
    Yes - The Next/Previous at the bottom of the page are hyperlinks.
    <a href="ThisPage.cfm?start=#Evaluate("start + disp")#">
    The following is at the top of the page (and is the variable from the form that I CFOUTPUT in the query):
    <cfparam name="ItemNumberDropdown01" default="">
    <cfset ItemNumber = #form.ItemNumberDropdown01#>
    The error report showed that the "Next Page" hyperlink was reading an undefined variable... although when the "action page" first opens from the form posting to it, it populates the CFSET just fine (per the cfparam and cfset above)... As you mention, the hyperlink clearing the form scope is what causes the error in trying to display the next set of records...
    The form page and the 'action page' are both secure pages with an application page setting the session, etc. Am I at risk in using an URL scope?
    Where would this URL scope be put? (The href is shown above - would the URL scope go in this? - How would this be written?)
    The CFPARAM and CFSET would still exist at the top of the 'action page' and still throw an error wouldn't it or would this be replaced with something else to read the form.variable for this 'first' action page to be displayed?
    Thanks again for the 'education' on this...

  • Variable for Query without changing Datamodel

    Hello Experts,
    I need in the Query a variable, which should have inpact on the processing in the user-exit. This variable should no be used directly for constraining data.
    It is an Yes/No variable. And I don't have in my multicube any characteristic which have Yes/No in their domain.
    In such situation I have always added to Multiprovider and Cube an new characteristic and created an variable for this characteristic.
    But I don't like this solution, because this changes in the datamodel are in really not important for the datamodel. It only an work around for getting the possibility of adding a variable.
    Does someone know an better idea for adding variables to query, without changing datamodel like this.
    Thanks
    Wojciech

    Hi Bhanu,
    Not really - I don't want to change Cubes.
    Thanks

  • Variable For Query Key Date

    Hi All,
    I am using time dependent master data, i want to count number of employees on particular key date for diffferent Orgunits. So i created variable in the query properties for dynamic date selection .I also have other variable - Calendar month.
    If the user enters particular  Calendar Day (21.03.2008), then the report should show the total number of employees for that particular day.
    If the user chooses Cal Year/month  then the report should show the total number of employees for that time frame (12.2007-12.2008).
    When i enter Cal Year/month and execute the system not allowing to execute the report. It says Calender Day is mandatory.
    How can i bypass the calenderday when i choose calyear/month.
    Variable for Key date :
    Char - Calender Day
    Mandatory
    Ready for Input
    Regards
    A.Vasister

    Hi,
    For this work you have to create another 2 variable.
    1. Make your both user entry variables as optional.
    2. Create another 2 variables processing type as user exit.
    3. In the CMOD program, identify which variable contains data.
       - If the user entered month, then in the user exit of Calender day's from date should be
         first day of the month parameter and to    date should be the last date of the month parameter.
       - If the user entered date, then pass corresponding month&year value of the date to calmonth variable.
    Let me know the position.

  • How to create/use SAP Exit variable of Query designer

    Hello experts,

    Kindly provide your valuable inputs on this.
    Thanks,

    Hello Gautam,
    I think you should first implement the user-exit via the transaction SMOD/CMOD and the SAP-Enhancement RSR00001 User-Exit ( BW Reporting )
    For the concrete implementation I would suggest to encapsulate the variables, as it is described here

  • Use of Shared Variables for data transfer from a RT traget to a desktop application

    Hi,
    I want to adopt the shared variables to share data in an existing distributed application comparable with the T3 Benchmark configuration in this document:
    [1] http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/5B4C3CC1B2AD10BA862570F2007569EF
    The current implementation uses a well tuned solution with RT FIFOs and TCP/IP communication with a desktop-PC which monitors and stores the data.
    The desktop application runs with a much slower execution rate than the TCL. So the TCP/IP packets are used to buffer the data with a package size dependent on the data send rate.
    To use the shared variables instead of this RT FIFO + TCP/IP implementation I need to read the shared vairable buffer at once each time the desktop application reads the shared variable.
    But according to this quotation from [1]:
    "With buffering, you can account for temporary fluctuations between read/write rates of a variable. Readers that occasionally read a variable slower than the writer can miss some updates."
    this seems to be impossible. Am I right?
    Are there any suggestions to circumvent this problem? Or are shared variables not made to share data between unsynchronized processes without data loss?
    Regards Till

    You can use the error-cluster to detect the end of your queue. The erroroutput of the shared variable will return a -2220 Warning, if it reads a value it has read already before. I attached a modified example and saved it for 8.2 I hope you can open it.
