Date Prompt in Webi Format issue

Former Member
0 Kudos

We are on BO 4.0 sp4 patch 14.  We are seeing something odd with our date prompts. 

When we run a Webi, or create a new webi, using a bex query with a date range prompt with a format of a numberic Month/year ( 06/2012 - 08/2012).  No matter what we select for the prompt, we appear to get all the records.    If we change the format of the prompt  to Jun/2012 - Aug/2012) we get the correct data. 

Has anyone seen this or know why this is occuring?

Hi Robert,

There is a note for similar issue logged in in Jan 13, please check if it is the same issue and is you are getting same error message from IPAD. Refer to the notes details below. If its the same issue, then I think you already have work around of passing dates in different format.

1812871 - Error MOB00082 received when refreshing a Webi report based on a BEx query with a date range prompt

The issue has been identified as a defect and logged under Problem Report ID ADAPT01679436.

Hi Robert,

I understand you have issue with the first case of entering Month/Year in 06/2012 - 08/2012. Can you please clarify as to what is the Variable type uses at Bex (Interval? or Selction Option?) and the data type of characteristic at BEx level that accepts Month/Year in 06/2012? (Number? or String?).

Also confirm if the format of values passed from webi prompt is same as the format of data in Month/Year Characteristic at Bex layer?

Thanks
