How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4

A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users - in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
20/01/2009 20-Jan-2009 20th January 2009
This displays in BO 6.5 as
1/20/2009 1/20/2009 20th January 2009
My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
Can you advise how to correct this problem please.

Hi Sebastien
Thank you for your response.
I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
Any other ideas?
Regards
Linda

There are JS forums at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com. Good luck.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatPattern);

How to change the date format from default to mm-dd-yyyy?

Hi,
There is a requirement to show the current date in an error message at the attribute level. That is, if the user input a date in a text field that is earlier than today's date, then an error message must immediately pop up with today's date in the message. To achieve this we are using a token expression in the EO ( Under Validation rules) . The token expression uses adf.currentDate to get today's date.
The problem is that the expression extracts the date in the form of yyyy-mm-dd. What expression should I use to get the current date format in mm/dd/yyyy ? Can I modify the adf.currentDate expression in some way to get the desired format?
Thanks,
Anand

You could write a custom EO method to return today's date in the specific format. Then access it via the Groovy adf.object expression.

Change default date format of reports data source

Hi all,
I need to convert an ugly EBS standard charactermode report (Oracle Reports) into the Xml-Publisher format. I'd like to use the existing report as the xml data source as all data is available in the old report.
The problem is that the date format used by reports is determined by NLS_DATE_FORMAT (et al). This date format unfortunately is not xml compliant (dd.mm.yyyy in our case) and so Xml-Publisher date related features (e.g. sort by date) will not work .
The report/template is submitted via the submit concurrent request form.
Is there a way to make the underlying reports produce xml conformant dates without resorting to wild substring operations in the template or changing the EBS standard report?
Thanks
Christoph

NLS_date_format affects how that internal date is converted to a character string for presentation to humans, or how to interpret a character string (received ,ultimately, from a human) for conversion to that internal format. It (NLS_DATE_FORMAT) can be set at several levels, but table/column is not one of them.
Please read the link I posted in my earlier response. It will clear up your confusion.

IR Job Parameters - Import bqy to a location - Append date to filename - How to change the date format?

Hi All,
The title pretty much says it all. We have a few jobs running that require Mon-YY appended for each month they are run. Right now it's a manual process of changing the import file name in the parameters for each month. I see that I could append the file name with date but it's not in the format I need. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any help is appeciated!

Unfortunately, I do not have a Firefox OS device, so this is based on an old screen shot I saw in a search...
During initial setup, you may have been asked to confirm your language and region. I believe the region is used to localize your date format. Can you find a setup app to get back to those choices? Please be advised that running a setup app may remove some data, so it's probably a good idea to wait for additional feedback before actually going forward with it.

How to change the date format in Sharepoint 2010 to dd MMM yyyy

Hi,
I am looking to change the datetime format with in the modified column from mm/dd/yy to dd MMM yyyy. I dont want to create calculated field with dd MMM yyyy format. I want the actual modified column value to be represented as dd MMM yyyy format.
Thanks for your help in advance.
regards
Kalyan

I'm not really sure what context you asking to change this for but to change your date time settings -
Go into Site Settings and under 'Central Administration' there is a link to 'Regional Settings'. Click this and you specify the way dates and times are displayed.
I have done this and mine displays as DD/MM/YYYY like you are asking.
My locale is current set to English (United Kingdom) and sort order is general. Even if you're not in the United Kingdom, I can only see this way being your solution as US dates are always set as MM/DD/YYYY.

OIM11gR2: Changing Default Date format in calendar input

Hi Experts,
There are certain OOB fields in OIM like "Hire Date", "Provisioning date" that accept input from calendar control.
I could see the default input format is like MM/DD/YY (eg: 12/13/12) when i click on calendar icon and select any date range
But i want the functionality like if i select a date from calendar it should get populated as "MMM dd, yyyy" eg (Dec 13, 2012) in text box.
Please help me out!!
thanks in advance.

Apologies... when I read the question through the first time I didn't work out that you were using the query window inside the Deverloper Tools for Visual Studio .NET. The OracleGlobalization object would be used in .NET code.
I don't know a way to override the date format in the query window other than doing a to_char() on the date in the query.
Something like:
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dualSorry about that,

How to change default number format for saved data in signalexpress

I cannot find an option for determining format and precision of saved data. By default it is scientific with i think 3 siginificant numbers. How and where to do it?

Stjepan, it sounds like you're right where I was 2 months ago! Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling w/ SE.
Here's what I've had to do to control the precision of the data in my ascii file.
Insert an Amplitudes and Levels step from Analysis>Time Domain Measurements.
In the A&L settings, deselect Export RMA Value (keep Export DC Value selected).
Now drag that DC signal from the A&L step into your data view (literally drag and drop this signal onto the graph). From here you can configure the data view's properties to your likings, I.E, significant digits or digits of precision, floating point, etc.
I've found that Floating Point, 2 Significant Digits, and uncheck Hide Trailing Zeros to work well (visually speaking).
Insert your Save to ASCII step after the A&L step, and be sure to save your A&L's DC signal.
The data will export exactly as it's shown in the display.
TIP: you can rename your signals from any of the steps. This is handy because it's the renamed channel names that show up in your data headers (much more descriptive when you have multiple channels).
My apologies if this is all information you already know...

How to change default Export Format Type in Crystal Report Viewer

We are coding in VB.NET 2005 using the CR2008 SP1 .NET objects.
The Crystal Report Viewer, when displayed, defaults the export type as .rpt (Crystal Reports).
We distribute our .NET application to our customers. 99% of the time, this .rpt format is useless to our customers as they do not have crystal reports developer. They usually export to a .pdf or .xls format. Is there a way to default this export option to something other than .rpt?
Thank you.

Yes, that's as much as I figured.
With the Crystal for .NET methods, the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine's reportdocument object has an ExportToDisk method. We wanted to use this (as we used something similar with the RDC) to prompt the user to export. However, the reportdocument's exporttodisk method does not have an argument that allows for Prompting the user (true/false) like the RDC's export did. You have to actually know ahead of time the type of export the user wants as well as the filename. Well, we do not, and therefore, want the user to be able to select the type of export they want as well as enter their own filename. We want the Crystal methods to prompt for this. Since we are unable to, we've had to resort to declaring a reportviewer object and setting the viewer's reportsource = to the reportdocument. We then use the ExportReport() method which defaults to .rpt (which none of our end users have Crystal Developer). This is why we want to know if there is a way to reset the default export method to something more common (such as .pdf or .xls). Is there a way to change the reportdocument's file type in order to default the export type? Just trying to come up with some sort of workaround...
Thanks
