Dear all,
I hope you can help me with my problem.
We are trying to provide our client with HR data in BW but they want to be able to filter data based on Persian dates whereas every time-dependent data in BW is based on Greg dates.
Is there a way to get Persian dates from end users at the time of report execution such as 1394/11/18 ( which is today) and convert it to Greg dates before passing to the underlying infoprovider?
I know the ABAP code to this conversion but I wonder how it can be done through variables and exits ?
Of course even if we can do the conversion via customer exit, there is still a big problem.
If I create the variable on 0CalDay as reference characterstic, in web intelligence the User will be presented with a Calendar object to choose from and it won't be possible to enter values such as 1394/11/18.
Any ideas?
The ideal scenario would be to force BW to use ZPersian date infoobjects instead of 0DateFrom and 0DateTo but I it doesn't seem possible.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
SJ
