Finding the Start Date and End Date from the Calendar Component
Create 6 Global variables in Design Studio for Start and End dates,
1.Start Month
2.Start Day
3.Start Year
4.End Month
5.End Day
6.End Year
There are two calendar components
- From

1.From Calendar Component (named as DEMO_FROM)
When a Date is selected in "From Calendar component "
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
then we will take the output via following script
(DEMO_FROM.getDate());

Now we need to find Day,Month and Year for Starting date from the above calender component
a) Script for Start Month from the calendar component
Start Month=Convert.subString(DEMO_FROM.getDate().substring(6,2),2);

b) Script for Start Day from the calendar component
Start Day=DEMO_FROM.getDate().substring(6);

c) Script for Start Year from the calendar component
Start Year=DEMO_FROM.getDate().substring(0,4);

1.To Calendar Component (named as DEMO_TO)
When a Date selected in "To Calendar component "
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
then we will take the output via following script
(DEMO_TO.getDate())

a) Script for End Month from the To Calendar component
End Month=Convert.subString(DEMO_TO.getDate().substring(6,2),2);

b) Script for End Day from the To Calendar component
End Day=DEMO_TO.getDate().substring(6);

Building the Open Document URL
Currently with the above steps we have Start and End Year, Month and Day values .
Now we need to built the Date Time syntax as below

Clik here to view.
Creating some of the variables
var comma =",";
Now appending the Start and End Year, Month and Day variable in the final Date Time Variable
var datetime="[DateTime("+Start Year+ comma+ Start Month +comma + StartDay + comma +"12"+ comma +"0"+ comma +"0+")"+".."+"DateTime("+End Year+ comma+ End Month +comma + End Day + comma +"12"+ comma +"0"+ comma +"0+")]"
Above the time is given as yellow color.
After the above step the result will look like this

var u_datetime= Convert.urlEncode(datetime);
Finally Open Document URL is
APPLICATION.openNewWindow("http://boserver/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&iDocID=AQqHNJjiKkR_ZGlk25nJ6oc8g"+ "&lsRZTM_EVT_RANGE="+u_datetime);
where ZTM_EVT_RANGE= this is the prompt text of the Date range in Webi Report
Now we successfully Opened the Web Intelligence report by passing Date Range from Design Studio .!!
