Datastage Date Manipulation
I always have a hard time trying to add or minus days to a given date in Datastage. You can use icon, ocon too....but I like this method when I need to manipulate a date column in Transformer Stage.
To add one day to a given date (an incoming date column):
DateFromJulianDay(JulianDayFromDate(DSLink1.your_date_column) + 1)
So basically you convert a date to a julian day, then add 1, then convert the julian day back to a date.
To add one day to a given date (an incoming date column):
DateFromJulianDay(JulianDayFromDate(DSLink1.your_date_column) + 1)
So basically you convert a date to a julian day, then add 1, then convert the julian day back to a date.

Microstrategy Modifying Tooltips on graphs
By default, when you have a graph, the tooltip on the web will display:
Series: Electronics Sales Amt
Category: 2012-09-07
Value: $2,509.24
But what if you want your tooltip to say:
Electronics Sales Amt: $2,509.24
Date: 2012-09-07?
Under Graph, Preferences, Series, select one of your series, show tooltip, remove the default value of {&TOOLTIP}
and instead type this:
{&SERIESLABEL}:{&VALUE}
Date:{&GROUPLABEL}
Series: Electronics Sales Amt
Category: 2012-09-07
Value: $2,509.24
But what if you want your tooltip to say:
Electronics Sales Amt: $2,509.24
Date: 2012-09-07?
Under Graph, Preferences, Series, select one of your series, show tooltip, remove the default value of {&TOOLTIP}
and instead type this:
{&SERIESLABEL}:{&VALUE}
Date:{&GROUPLABEL}
