Validating Date parameter in discoverer

Hi
In the discoverer is it possible to validate or restrict the users to enter the wrong format of the date e.g. if the date format to be entered is dd-mm-yyyy, the system should not allow the users to enter mm-dd-yy,
Is it possible to put any validation?
As of now what is happening is discoverer is not telling me any thing after running for few minutes i am not getting any result, after that if i check i found that the date is in the wrong format
Regards
Ramesh Kumar S

Hi
If I may throw an aside in here. If your users are using 10.1.2 Plus there should be no need for users to key anything into any date parameter because Discoverer now has a calendar for this use. I find it much easier to teach my users to use a calendar than to try and teach them how to key dates in correctly.
One other thing you might want to consider if you have not already done so is to standardize a date format across your entire Discoverer installation. Then the date format will be obvious because its the same one they see all of the time.
Nevertheless, if you still want a mechanism to trap what users are keying it is possible to create functions that trap formats displaying appropriate error messages.

Date Parameter in Discoverer Custom Folder

Hi All,
We have a requirement where i need to filter sql query data in the where condition as below.
WHERE 1=1
AND TRANSACTION_DATE BETWEEN :PARAMETER_DATE-90 AND :PARAMETER_DATE-9
Can anyone of you help me on achieving that in discoverer.
Thank You

Hi,
to do that inside the custom folder you can use DB contexts, read the following :

Validating Date Parameter

Dear friends,
I want to validate a user parameter (named ENDDATE) in my runtime parameter form (Report 6) with format 'YYYYMMDD', I am wondering if someone would give me some hint about how to write the condition:
function ENDDATEValidTrigger return boolean is
begin
if ( the condition ENDDATE is not format 'YYYYMMDD') then
return (FALSE);
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Judy

In addition to provided list of format masks - you may just type your own in the Input Mask field.
From Reports help:
"If you enter a new format mask and accept the property sheet, the new value will appear in the list. However, these format masks are only valid during the current Report Builder session. If you quit Report Builder and then invoke it again, the list of values will not contain the format masks you created in the previous Report Builder session (unless you open the report(s) that used these masks). To add new format masks to the list that will be saved between sessions, use the Edit Masks button in the Preferences dialog."

Dear Oracle Reports Team jls,
Thanks for your reply, I tried what you told before, but I couldn't set the input mask as YYYYMMDD, since YYYYMMDD is not on the list (Oracle Developer 6.0). Any other ideas? I'd really appreciate it.

How can I pass dynamic value as a user input parameter in discoverer?

Hi,
I have a requirement for a discoverer report like this: The report will display only details for Suppliers that have expired (or soon to be) Insurance details. That is the Expiration Date is less than or equal to the day the report is being run plus any days specified in the Number of Days in the Future Parameter.
The sample code as:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
AND pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>
order by pca.expiration_date asc
Now the parameter is Number of Days in the Future (Enter the number days in the future to extract the data. This will default to 0).
Is it possible in discoverer to do so as in query i do that like a condition as pca.expiration_date <= trunc(sysdate) + <No. of Days in the Future>.
How can I pass <No. of Days in the Future> as a user input parameter in discoverer?
Please help.

Hi,
All you need to do is to create the condition in the discoverer instead of in the query.
Create a custom folder containing the following sq (note that i removed the condition)l:
SELECT s.segment1 vendor_number
,s.vendor_name
,flv1.meaning classification
,pca.certificate_number
,pca.certifying_agency
,pca.expiration_date
,flv2.meaning status
FROM ap_suppliers s
,pos_bus_class_attr pca
,fnd_lookup_values flv1
,fnd_lookup_values flv2
WHERE pca.vendor_id = s.vendor_id
AND flv1.lookup_code = pca.lookup_code
AND flv1.lookup_type = pca.lookup_type
AND flv2.lookup_code = pca.class_status
AND flv2.lookup_type = 'POS_BUS_CLASS_STATUSES'
Then create a discoverer report using this folder using all fields.
Create a new calculation as (use this exact syntax):
Sysdate + :No_of_Days_in_the_Future
Create a new condition:
pca.expiration_date <= <your calculation>
To complete it add a sort as you did in the SQL.
That's it.

Open the template in WAD and do a validation against the server and make sure the template is well formed.

Date Parameter in BIP

Hi
I have compiled a report in BI publisher. As part of reports i have also configured LoVs and Parameter (Date). Whenever i open the report from Excel Analyzer and going to define date parameter for filtering. I get the following error:
Runtime error '1004' : The name that you entered is not valid
I have set the Date string as: yyyy-mm-date and i am entring the string as: 2009-08-26
Even the calendar attached with Date field in BI publisher does not work properly, if i select 1 jan, 2009 from calendar then what i get in the field is 2009-14-01
Thanks in advance for your prompt response
Regards
Perhiya

Try using date format as yyyy-MM-dd and resave your report . It should work.

Crystal Reports Date Parameter Problem

Hello Experts,
I have this query in crystal, I need it to be suming the Quantity and Totals but because of the date optional its not doing that, How I put the date parameter and remove it from her so that I can achieve my results.
SELECT T0.[DocDate],T1.[Dscription] as 'BRANDS /SKU', Sum(T1.[Quantity]) as 'QTY', Sum(T1.[LineTotal]) as 'VALUE' FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry INNER JOIN OCRD T2 ON T0.CardCode = T2.CardCode WHERE T2.[GroupCode] = '100' GROUP BY T1.[Dscription],T0.[DocDate]
Thanks,
Titi

Hi Titi,
I don't really get what your question is but I can suggest to add the date parameter on WHERE clause. In case it's optional, you can put validation checking before entering query. When it's null you set a period of time which is relevant to current date. And as replied by GordonDu, the parameter is compare to T0.DocDate
Hope it helps.

FM for validating date coming from a file

HI All,
I have to validate date that needs to be validated before passing it to DB.
Is der any FM for same
I tried CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL.
But it accepts date only in one specified format.

hi,
try this
Use Function module DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY to validate a date.
1)If you given a invalidate date then it will ask you to enter a valid date.
2)After changing it to correct value, you can click on SAVE button or if you want to continue with the invalid date then click on USE INVALID VALUE button.
Try with this code.

User validity date is not refelcting in Childsystem

Hi Experts,
I have changed the validity of a user in CuA system . But the validity is not reflecting in child system. on checking SCUL I found the error as " User type 75 is not actiive". I didnot find any issues in distributing roles and profiles for this user in CUA.only for user valdity I am reciving this error. Please advice how this error can be rectified. In SCUM the distribution parameter is global for user valdity. I need to know the root cause for this error.
Thanks,
Sanjeev.S

Hi Sanjeev,
Why dont you identify user master data that has not been changed from the central system and distribute it again where necessary.
You can do all this from SCUL
Look at the following SAP notes :
632486
First of all check if that user is existing in the child system and is active or expired:
Some times the user might have been deleted in the backend system and you are tyring to change the validity date of the user only on the CUA system because he exists only in the CUA box.
I strongly think that the user record is manually deleted in the child system
Please try to perform this action for another user who exists and see if its happening the same way.
if it does not.
Go to the child system and delete the user completely and recreate the user one more time in CUA and see what happens.

Automatically increment a date parameter

Is it possible to schedule a workbook for a period of time and have the date parameter automatically increment to the next date in Discoverer?

Hi
Yes of course. When setting up a scheduled workbook, in the Step 1 screen of the Schedule Workbook dialog there are two radio buttons with a title: How often do you want to repeat the schedule? You can choose Never or Repeat Every and then set up a repeating schedule to run anyhere from x minutes to x years. In the Step 2 screen is a box titled Delete results automatically after. You get the opportunity to say how long, in days, the results of previous runs should be kept.
Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook from Oracle Press? If so, please take a look at pages 478 to 495 in chapter 14. Pages 480 and 481 in particular describe in detail the steps above.
If you don't have a copy you might want to consider getting one. I worked very closely with Oracle Corporation to get the book as accurate as possible and yes while I make a little money from you buying it that's not why I recommend you get it. Even though I wrote it I use it myself every day as it is over 1,000 pages long and is crammed with as much knowledge as Oracle Press would allow me to do at the time.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

I have read that in previous CR version (before XI), you could default a date parameter to the current date. Is there any way in CR XI to achieve this or our we SOL until we upgrade to CR 2008 (which I hear does allow date parameter defaults)?David

Long Parameter In Discoverer?

Hi All ,
Is it possible to create long parameter in discoverer Plus.
Regards
mani

Hi,
If the column is a LONG data type then using this column in a condition is not supported by SQL and therefore your only alternative is to implement your own INSTR function in a PLSQL package.

In order to develop the output, i have created a view based on the base tables, there a about 2 millions records, the input parameter is a date, the output of the workbook is very slow, can i do the following..
1. Since the workbook is having date parameter , can the date parameter be directly refer to the column in the discoverer administrator... so that the performance can be reduced...
if possible let me know the steps to do this...
if there is any other method to increase the performance, do let me know...

Is the DATE parameter IN or IN/OUT? If so then the first thing you should check is to see if your XML is valid. Date is represented by java.sql.Timestamp and should adhere to the XML Schema definition for dateTime, which is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss. The error seems to be coming from the XML parser which could mean that you instance value for your DATE parameter is the wrong syntax.
