Calender in Java Viewer in Infoview

[Former Member]

Hi

We have many reports which take date as parameter. These reports are published using Infoview.

When the default viewer is set as DHTML , the reports are asking for this parameter with a calender option.

but when we change the viewer to Java, the reports are asking for this parameter to be enteted manually with day , month and Year as different text boxes.

Does anyone know how to attach calander in Java Viewer ?

Thanks Soni

Can we change the order in which Day,month and year is asked.

to be very specific , currently the viewer is asking date to be entered in yyyy, mm and dd format (in seperate text boxes)

we need it to be mm , dd and yyyy boxes

Hi Kamal

No ,this is not possible.

As I mentioned earlier ,the default behaviour of the Infoview cannot be changed.

Hence ,the viewer settings cannot be changed with respect to calendar.

Thanks

Kamal,

As Soni pointed out, there is really no way to modify the code behind the Java panel since it is a pre-built Java applet that is downloaded and run within InfoView.

There are a few settings that you can change within the applet, but most of them are only cosmetic changes, nothing functionality-wise. You can take a look at the config file for the applet located at "D:\BusinessObjects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\webiApplet\AppletConfig\defaultConfig.xml", but again, it would not really let you modify the date format that you are looking for.

I wonder why you are looking to do that - what is the date format in your database? Does it match with the one you intend to use?

Cheers,

Hi Kamal

- This is the inbuilt functionality in Infoview.

- When the default viewer is set as DHTML , the reports asks for the parameter with a calender option.

- Unfortunately ,this is not possible when you select the Java viewer.

- When you change the viewer to Java, the reports would ask you for the parameter to be entered manually with day , month and Year as different text boxes.

- Infoview is made up of jsp pages(API's) which are not public.

- So ,we cannot make any changes in the settings i.e default behaviour while using Java viewer in Infoview(cannot attach calendar).

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks

Soni
