3680877 - Different SQL timestamp format generated in UNV vs UNX universes when filtering Oracle data in Web Intelligence

Symptom

  • When converting a UNV universe to UNX, the generated SQL syntax for date parameters changes.
  • This behavior is observed when:
    • A first Web Intelligence query retrieves start and end dates (in Date format).  
    • These values are then passed as parameters to a second query based on another universe.  
    • In the second query, the UNX version, the generated SQL no longer includes the TIMESTAMP keyword.
      • UNV (Expected behavior): "date" >= TIMESTAMP '2025-08-01 00:00:00'
      • UNX : "date" >= '01-08-2025 00:00:00'
