• Date in BI Publisher format

  Hi, I'm new to BI Publisher. How to change the format of date in BI Publisher. I have already 1 format of database, but in the reports that we want to use a different format, how can we do?

  I have already 1 format of database, but in the reports that we want to use a different format.

  data relate to the model through representation of xml data (I omitted the case on the use of csv like data source etc)

  If you have two place for interaction date

  (1) the database in xml format

  (2) the model xml

  so you can form date of case 1 and only to tag for it in the model

  If you want to change the format of the xml representation data you can change in case 2 ( Mathieu Sundarasamy-Oracle (as I prefer) or very little 934101 of path) or in case 1 (change of format mask in the generation of xml)

  so, you have two ways to work with date

  and if you use the first case to dictate using the format mask appropriate for the needs of report production and no more

  but in the second case the new date format based on the representation of the date to xml format

  If you in case 1 and then change the format mask for your needs

  If you in case 2 then post sample xml or try yourself in order to adapt the example Mathon Sundarasamy-Oracle

• Convert the Period_Name in GL_JE_Lines table to a date format and then come back year

  I'm working on a data model BI Publisher and I try to convert the Period_Name in GL_JE_Lines table to a date format and then return of the year.

  The sql below works in 11i, but I can't make it work in Fusion.

  to_char (to_date (l. )) period_name , ' MON-RR ' ),'YYYY')
  
  Any ideas?

  Hi Jennifer,.

  To_char (sysdate, 'DDMONYYYY') in BI Publisher does not return a correct results due NLS_DATE_FORMAT/DATE_LANGUAGE settings.

  According to the standards of the I18N, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE in the database is still hardcoded to NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE. NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE 'MY' in a date format mask is an integer, so you see the correct value.

  You're not supposed to publish direct SQL with fixΘe format masks (unless it's some sort of canonical format used in internal processing, including the end-user will not be), you should return language digital date to the mid range and then make the formatting of y.

  Workaround

  Try adjusting the NLS_LANGUAGE in SQL data model to override formatting from of the

  Data base and values of the Session, for ex: select to_char (sysdate, 'MON-DD-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN') of double;

  I got this Oracle support after lifting a SR.

  Thank you

• Date format in the supporting - attachment Documents

  Hello

  Page of support documents - in 6.0 date format for entry into force and date unavailability has a descriptive format (Monday, February 17, 2014), but in the point 6.1 resembles the date format of the field has been in number as format (17/02/2014).

  Is there a way we can customize / format description to a numeric date format.

  Kind regards

  Kumar

  6.1 has brought a new editing tool and improved for the dates so that you can type the dates directly in the field or use the calendar control.  With this control, we are unable to show the descriptive long format in edit mode.  In playback mode the descriptive date must always shown as "Monday, February 17, 2014" Unfortunately it seems that the behavior of the old system that you cannot open the popup details of attachment in read mode so that you will never see these inactive/effective dates in a full descriptive format.

  Good news if

  1. we now offer a review of supporting documents report.   This report will let you see all the supporting documents on a single specification or through a hierarchy of specification.   You should be able to set the date format to display in the long descriptive view.  In the BI publisher layout tool, click the column and change the formatting in the form under "Formatting data" in the toolbar.   Discover our pack of extensibility for more information on this report and others.

  2. We hope to offer in our next major release of universal date as February 14, 2014 formats and you will be able to see the document in support and the details of the attachment in read mode.

• sqlldr: using RTRIM date format conversion

  Hi all
  
  I need assistance with date formats using sqlldr to load.
  I did some research on the internet, but not really good to find examples that help in my case clear.
  
  I am trying to load data from another source into our Oracle database, however, the field 'date' includes additional characters that I am dealing with.
  For reference, I'm under Oracle 11.2 on Linux 5.7.
  
  First, the entry of the actual date is:

  April 18, 2013 8:50:44 AM EDT

  I tried to get in a few ways but could not load until I physically removed the "AM EDT' the input string.
  My first question is if there is a way to RTRIM and get rid of these extra characters.
  Or maybe I just need a way to convert the "AM EDT" our standard date format.
  
  My controlfile has the following:
  

  LASTCHANGEDAT date "Month dd, YYYY HH MI SS",

  This will load the data, but only if I'm hard on the 'AM EDT' of the actual data entry which is not feasible.
  
  
  Also, how I would manage that comes as the date: April 18, 2013 21:50:44 CEST
  
  Also, I tried the following, but it gives me a different error:
  
  
  

  LASTCHANGEDAT "to_date(:LASTCHANGEDAT,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')",
  
  gives me error:
  
  Record 1: Rejected - Error on table NTWKREP.INTERFACE, column LASTCHANGEDAT.
  ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

  Published by: 974632 on April 22, 2013 12:41

  You only need a control file and it's okay if you are using AM or PM in the control file. Using AM or PM just said to expect one or the other in this position and will take care of both of them. Please see the demo below that shows that either am or pm in the control file works with am and pm in the data.

• Convert number to date format

  HI team,
  
  I have a problem, how we can convert number in date format?
  This is the result of the query.
  
  SQL > col START_TIME for 999999999999999999999999
  SQL > select start_time in qrtz_triggers;
  
  START_TIME
  -------------------------
  1364243906000
  1364589406000
  
  So, I have to change the date format niumber rto.
  
  My date format as for example: "" Mar 25,2013 20:36:45 ""
  
  
  Please suggest me...
  Thank you

  This is the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.

  SQL> SELECT to_char(to_date('01/01/1970','mm/dd/yyyy')+1364243906000/24/60/60/1000
    2  ,'Mon dd, yyyy hh:mi:ss PM') FROM dual;
  
  TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01/01/1970','
  ------------------------------
  Mar 25, 2013 08:38:26 PM
  

  So in your query instead of start_time use
  TO_CHAR (to_date (' 01/01/1970 ',' mm/DD/yyyy') + start_time/24/60/60/1000,' Mon DD, YYYY HH: mi: ss PM "")

• In the RPD date format

  Hi gurus,
  The RPD, I have a condition where
  
  If (received_date-current_date) < X then...
  
  the date of receipt in the database is digital. Ex: 20040810
  
  How can I change the date format to match the default value for the current date in the expression builder.
  
  Thank you
  Avinash

  Looks like you use the calculations based on the fact table or could be physical columns.
  I suggest you use the logical columns so that you can use the column date (by received_date) your day sun.
  or else
  map the day Sunday to the fact table and to use physical expression for the same, the same as your other post with status = completed as I said in my last email.

  You must use the timestampdiff function.

• varchar2 to the date format conversion

  I have converted the formats of date several times, but for some reason, I get an error invalid number when you try to convert a varchar2 column. I tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted like ME-DD-YYYY, but I want to change it to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:
  
  Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
  of cc_class_scmast_v
  
  When I try to_date I get this:
  
  Error from the 1 in the command line:

  If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY '. Formats like which apply only to chains.
  Conversely, if it is in the format "DD-MON-YYY", then it is a string, not a DATE.

  but I want to change to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:

  Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
  of cc_class_scmast_v

  To_date (x, "MM/DD/YYYY") tries to convert the string x in a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, for the month. The first 2 characters of 'fccpdate' are "fc", which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), not to mention a number from 1 to 12, TO_DATE so will raise an error.

  When I try to_date I get this:

  Error from the 1 in the command line:
  Select TO_DATE ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL

  I tried to remove the single quotes of my column and that does make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

  It's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single quotes are not identifiers (including the column names). "fccpdate" is the literal string of 8 characters containing 'f', ' c; Another 'c', 'p' 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. " fccpdate (without the single quotes) can be the name of a column.

  If fccpdate is a string, as July 18, 2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.

  TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
  

  If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use

  TO_CHAR ( d
          , f
          )
  

  where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d is perhaps the TO_DATE expression above

  TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
          , 'MM/DD/YYYY'
          )
  

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

• Change the DATE FORMAT in a data store

  I created a few projects with the help of a Teradata technology using tables that allow to CREATE_TARG_TABLE the Yes option.
  
  Model / data store, there are DATE fields, but I can't change the DATE FORMAT, change the field.
  
  When the process starts and creates the table in the database, create using FORMAT of DATE "AA-MM-DD" and I would like to create as "YYYY-MM-DD".
  
  Y at - it a step that I am doing wrong, to be able to change the DATE FORMAT?
  
  From already thank,

  Hello

  --> Physical Architecture topology--> Teradata--> data types, create a new data type (or modify the existing DATE data type), then set it to the desired format of the syntax 'Create Table' and 'Format data type accessible writable.

  That is to say DATE FORMAT "YYYY-MM-DD".

  Then all your tables created will use this format. (I just tested it, it works).

• insertion error - date format picture ends before the conversion while

  My system: I use of Oracle Database 10 g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - product with SQL * more: Release 10.2.0.1.0 and the first thing I've done in this project is a user account configuration especially for her through Application Express 2.1.0.00.39 with all permissions and then connected with SQL * more and seized command and run scripts on it since.
  
  I got the following error was in a previous project, but I don't have the result of it so I don't know how much he touched me. We can not always distribute perfect projects so I could live with that. It is that this new project is the first that start from a previous one have of course, I still have the error so I think they'll be less forgiving of mistakes that I had more time to work on it. However, after hours of research & debugging tests I still cannot do things.
  
  I read on sites in development more than a couple that we should not rely simply on inputs of channel inserts on dates where there is incompatibilities with nls_date_format and based instead on TO_DATE. This seems logical and I have no problem of implementation, but there is a problem running it. :|
