User response function() for Date Prompt

Hi Experts,
I have the requirement to show the date enterted in the prompt in the column of the webi report.
I used the User response function e.g. =(UserResponse("Report Date").
Now I am getting the value as 5/14/2014 12:00:00 AM. I dont want to see the time stamp with the date and aslo i want to change the format of the
date to - yymmdd like 140514.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Abhimanyu Sharma.

Hi Arjit,
I closed the thread.
Can you please help in the below issue :
I have two columns in the BEX report:
1. "Local Count" which is restricted with Multiple Single Value variable "ZIN_CITY" on navigational Attribue 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID.
2. "Out Count " which is restricted with Multiple Single Value variable "ZOUT_CITY" on navigational Attribue 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID.
I put value 100 in prompt ZIN_CITY and 200 in ZOUT_CITY when i run this query in BOBJ WEbi.
But i am getting the error - Not able to retrieve data. i checked in the backend and data is present and also Bex query is working fine.
IF i change the property of variable to Single value then it is working fine in WEBi.
Also i tried another method - irresprctive of setting the prompt in BEx on Nav attr 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID, i created the prompt in BOBJ WEBi, but LOVs (list of values)are not coming in the prompt.
Please suggest on this?

Need to automate report having user response in a date prompt variable

Hi,
I've a webi 4.0 report which is having date prompt as a input from the user. This report has multiple data providers and is using variable as
=FormatDate (ToDate(UserResponse("Report Date");"dd Mmm YYYY");"Mmmm YYYY") in the report. Report Date is the user prompt enabling user to input the date and is usually the last day of Month.
I want to automate the report so that user dont have to input the date in Report Date prompt. How do I implement this?
If I simply remove Report Date being used as a filter, report will run without asking user but this Report Date is being used as a variable and will #ERROR.
Please advise.
Thanks
Pritesh

Pritesh,
Well you can create a Prompt at universe level with if and else as user input or Month end date( eom function ) or you can create variable today at universe level and schedule the every month end.
Thanks,

WebI Report using BW Query (Getting Error for User Response Function)

Hello Experts,
I have created WebI Report on top of BW query. All the prompts are coming from BW query. I was trying to create user response function but it's not working. Do I need to use special function or I can't use.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

User response function

Hi
Can any body explain about user response function with simple example.
Thnaks in advance

Assuming your universe contains a filter that prompts for user input using the @prompt function and you use the filter in your report OR you add yourself a filter which requires user input in the query panel of your webi report.
When the report runs it will ask your user to provide a value by displaying a text that you provided:
eg. Enter year:
The function UserResponse('Enter year:') will return the value the user provided and you can use it in a WebI variable for further calculations
eg. the following code in WebI
="User entered year " + UserResponse('Enter year:')
will display
User entered year 2010
assuming your user typed in the value 2010 when prompted.
Hope this helps.

User Response Error with BW prompts

Hello Experts,

Hi,
You can get the values of the prompts that are coming from BW Query using the UserResponse() function. Following is the way to get the value:
1. Say, you have a variable ( from Bex ) with Name as "Customer".
2. Now, in order to get the value of the variable in BO, you need to write the UserResponse() as UserResponse("Customer")
You have to ensure that the name of the variable is mentioned correctly within " ".
Hope it helps.

Need help with User Response function

I have the following formula:
=UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date")
The user response is a date which is displayed like this:
M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a
I would like to display the date as Mmm-dd-yyyy with no time at the end.
When I tried this formula:
=FormatDate(UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date");"Mmm-dd-yyyy")
I get the "invalid data type" message. I think I understand why (UserResponse isn't a date function), but I'm unable to come up with another formula that will do what I require.
When I tried this formula:
=ToDate((UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date"));"Mmm-dd-yyyy")
I get #ERROR in the cell.
I also tried formatting the cell to no effect.

Hi Ellen,
You have to use the format that the user is inputing in, and then format it as you would like it
so this should work.
FormatDate(ToDate((UserResponse(DataProvider(Segment Name);"Effective Date"));"M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a");"Mmm-dd-yyyy")

Math functions for dates

Hello,
Have you ever used a math function for dates (MMDDYYYY) not just a number? I'm looking to send an email out based on date field. For example, if someone's contract expires on 1/1/2016, I'd like to send them out emails 30, 152, 212 and 335 days before that date. Right now, we have fields set up for those 30, 152, 212 and 335 days and would like to know if there's a math function that would automatically fill them in dynamically based on their contract exp. date.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

User defined function for getting last string in the line

Hi Experts,
I am not java expert, can anyone give me user defined function for getting last string in the line.
for example if the source field is "NEW ARBOUR SQUARE" i want to pass to target field only last string that is "SQUARE"
please help me out of this.
Kind Regards.
Praveen.

You don't even need a UDF for this. In the graphical editor look for the standard functions and once you do a scroll over on 'text functions; you will find what you are looking for.
Just a piece of advice, try keeping UDF's to minimum unless really required or it is complicated without it.

Making a User Defined Function for Mapping in XI

Hi folks..
I knw how to make User defined Function in XI,
i was wondering about can we have any room for making a function for Initializing Purpose, which intializes few fields in source Message to some Global variables, and later we can use these Global Variables to set the the Target field
My Doubt is this...
i have Source & target Structure like this Structure like this....
SOURCE TEST DATA IS...
Parentsrc
 child1src a
 child2src b
 child3src c
 child4src hi
 child4src hello
 child4src hey
(On the basis of instances of child4src the istance of the Parentdst will be generated)
TARGET DATA SHUD BE LIKE THIS....
Parentdst
 child1dst a
 child2dst b
 child3dst c
 child4dst hi
Parentdst
 child1dst a
 child2dst b
 child3dst c
 child4dst hello
Parentdst
 child1dst a
 child2dst b
 child3dst c
 child4dst hey

Hi
You have to modify your target structure:
Source
Parentsrc
child1src a
child2src b
child3src c
child4src hi
child4src hello
child4src hey
Target
root
Parentdst
child1dst a
child2dst b
child3dst c
child4dst hi
Parentdst
child1dst a
child2dst b
child3dst c
child4dst hello
Parentdst
child1dst a
child2dst b
child3dst c
child4dst hey
</root>
Now map like this:
child4src -
Parentdst
child1src--|
child4src--| UseOneAsMany -- Splitbyvalue --- child1dst
child4src--|
child2src--|
child4src--|UseOneAsMany --Splitbyvalue --- child2dst
child4src--|
child3src--|
child4src--| UseOneAsMany -- Splitbyvalue --- child3dst
child4src--|
child4src -- SplitbyValue -- child4src.

Java user-defined function for mapping a complex structure

All,
Hope one of you can help me with this. I have a structure with over 15 fields and would like to concatenate all the fields into one target field and while I do this, I need to ensure that each field is padded with blanks as defined the data type. Can one of tell me if this is possible with a java user-defined function and if so, what type of logic is needed.
Input_MT
Field_1 string len=10 "need"
Field_2 string len=6 "java"
Field_3 string len=7 "help"
Field_4 string len=8 "asap"
etc,
Output_MT
DataOut string "need java help asap "
(for some reason the exact spaces in between the words disappear in my Preview message)
I have several fields in the input mt and therefore I find graphical mapping using concatenate and my own user defined function padWithSpace too messy.
Thank you for you help.

Hi,
If your final req is to write all these fields next each other in a file, you can configure this in receiver file adapter by specifying the fixed length for each field.
If you want the padded string as your MM o/p, you can create a simple user defined funtion with 15 fields as input and 15 constants for their lengths, and find out the length of the each string and pad it with required no of spaces.
int max_len = 10;
int actual_len;
actual_len = a.lengh();
for(int i=0; i < (max_len-actual_len; i++)
a = a.append(" ");
return a;

SQL User Defined Functions for performing statistical calculations

Hi!
   I hope you can help. I just wasn’t sure where to go with this question, so I’m hoping you can at least point me in the right direction.
   I’m writing a SQL Server stored procedure that returns information for a facility-wide scorecard-type report. The row and columns are going to be displayed in a SQL Server Reporting Services report.
   Each row of information contains “Current Month” and “Previous Month” numbers and a variance column. Some rows may compare percentages, others whole numbers, others ratios, depending on the metric they’re measuring. For each row/metric the company has specified whether they want to see a t-test or a chi-squared statistical test to determine whether or not there was a statistically significant difference between the current month and the previous month.
   My question is this: Do you know where I can find a set of already-written user defined functions to perform statistical calculations beyond the basic ones provided in SQL Server 2005? I’m not using Analysis Services, so what I’m looking for are real SQL User Defined Functions where I can just pass my data to the function and have it return the result within a stored procedure.
   I’m aware that there may be some third-party statistical packages out there we could purchase, but that’s not what I’m looking for. And I’m not able to do anything like call Excel’s analysis pack functions from within my stored procedure. I’ve asked. They won’t let me do that.   I just need to perform the calculation within the stored procedure and return the result.
   Any suggestions? Is there a site where people are posting their SQL Server UDF’s to perform statistical functions? Or are you perhaps aware of something like a free add-in for SQL that will add statistical functions to those available in SQL? I just don’t want to have to write my own t-test function or my own chi-squared function if someone has already done it.
Thanks for your help in advance! Oh, and please let me know if this should have been posted in the TSQL forum instead.  I wasn't entirely sure.

Error in User defined function for dynamic file naming

Hi Varun,
I guess I have answered a similar question just a few minutes before on very similar post from you. Just pasting the same here .................
Are you trying to access the ASMA values from the SOAP header of the XI message for the source file name?
First of all you need to Set the Sender File Adapter for Set ASMA and then file name. So it will work fine when you actually run the scenario end to end.
But in the mapping tool when you test the mapping - there is not message header updated with the actual source filename - and whenever you try to read the FileName attribute in the message header from the UDF - it cannot find the object and returns a NullPointerException.
I would suuggest for your mapping tool testing to be successful, have a check in the java code for null values,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
If (ourSourceFileName != null)
Return ourSourceFileName;
Return "NoFileName.txt";
Let us know if this works.

Suddha
