How to know date format of client in webservices

I have made a webservice which takes Date from the client. But these clients can have there own regional settings like DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD.
It would be helpful if someone can tell me how to know the date format of the client in server for a webservice
regards,
Saurabh

If a service recieves messages with values that are typed in WSDL as wxs:dateTime or a restriction thereof, then the data is fixed in its format to ISO 8601, and has nothing to do with the localisation settings of the client machine.
The question 'does typing a value as xsd:dateTime in WSDL fix the format' and the question 'how can a server know the regional settings of a client' are not the same question. AFAIK, the majority of public web services do not use WSDL nor WXS.

    I get local object from "UserSessionData" object but how to get Date format from it.
    I am not looking for Date value. I am looking for current local date format ("mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy or mon/dd/yyyy) whatever local date format.  I could not find example which show how to get date format from "Locale" object.

    Hi,
    You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
    Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
    BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
    User user = bom.getUser();
    char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
    If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
    I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

  • How to change date format in BR?

    Hi all!
    Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
    I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
    Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
    I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

    Hi,
    the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
    You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
    Cheers.

    How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
    Please help me ont this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In Prompt:
    Try using EVALUATE function.
    Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
    Report level:
    Try this in the column formula-
    Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
    (or)
    EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

  • How to write date format in bdc

    how to write date format in bdc report

    Hi,
         First you have a data decleration i.e data l_format(10) type c.
    now if a variable say l_date which is of sy-datum type, you will have to  <b>write l_date to l_format</b>, this will transfer the date in which you(user) have set the date format in user settings. Never hard code the format such as dd.mm.yyyy. or mm/dd/yyyy because the may have different formats, and the BDC will fails. After you have used write to to new l_format, pass this new value to BDC recording.
    Reward if useful.

  • How to change date format in OBIEE

    Hello
    I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
    The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
    Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
    Many thanks in advance!
