BO XI R3.0 - Date Format Setup

Hi All,
We had installed XI R3.0.
The Date Format which I need to use is UK Format dd/mm/yyyy.
But my Desk Intelligence, Crystal Reports etc., are currently aligned to the US Format of mm/dd/yyyy
Is there a way to change the Regional Settings of the entire XI R3.0 Or should I need to insall a Language Patch or something like that sort.
Please help me
Thank You
Ganesh

Hi Alejandro
Thanks for your reply. As I access my Business Objects from Client Servers through the CITRIX Environment, already my Browser Settings are aligned to UK Format.
But I don't know where the issue arises.
Also I am doing a upgrade, so I cannot go and change the necessary settings for each report which is not a feasible solution.
All I want is like change the regional Settings somewhere in BO Service.
Can you help me on this? Please
Thank You
Ganesh

XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

Hi,
Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One. I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status. I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005. I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine. We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field. So this is a date that is not entered by the user. The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine. We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date.
As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters. I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom). I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy. I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy. I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database. The form's table is user-defined.
I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record. The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy). The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy). This of course is not consistent.
When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite. Weird! To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function. It didnt matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up. Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
Thanks,
Mike

Ian,
Here's what I'm concerned about: Im using the date in a WHERE clause.
Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 8/3/2007"
OR
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 3/8/2007"
If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query. If the database server is setup as lets say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query. If the database server is setup as lets say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
In both cases it would be wrong.
I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine. I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the WHERE clause so that the localization specifications of the database server dont matter.
Thanks,
Mike

Date format in Email notifications

Service Desk 7.01
Windows 2008
MS SQL DB
When the notification emails are sent out to the user, the date format is in US format (mm/dd/yyyy) and we would like it to be Aus format (dd/mm/yyyy).
I have set the Default Date Style under Setup > Customer and in Setup > Email > Templates Date Style at the bottom of the window, but it is still showing as the US format.
Is there another place that it needs to be changed?

It is working in my setup. I modified the date format in setup>Email >Templates and selected Email Summary Templates and modified the format in Date Style. Attach more screen shots.

Date formats and etext templates

I have been working with etext templates in the last few days and am struggling with date conversion. My XML file has dates in the format DD-MON-YY and my output requires DDMMYYYY. It seems that the format conversion in etext template only works when the xml date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. I thought I would convert the DD-MON-YY using a combination of TO_DATE and TO_CHAR but TO_CHAR doesn't seem to accept the date mask in etext templates. It looks like I will have to modify the original report unless someone has a way to achieve this in the template.
Thanks,
Dave

I had to change the report. You may be able to change the setup in the reports server to alter the default date format but I didn't want to do that in case it affected the output of any of the other reports that are being run. (N.B. I haven't tried this myself so not sure it can be done).
The change to the report is pretty simple, I just added a formula column that took a copy of the standard column in the report and used to_char to reformat the date. In my case I reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD so that I could use the template to change the format to the required style. This is just in case there is a later change in the output style so I won't have to modify the report again.
When the date in the XML is in the format YYYY-MM-DD the documented formatting options work (e.g. "Date , DDMMYYYY" would convert "2005-10-26" to "26102005").

Date Format in Forms 6i

I have been allocated a new PC.
Where is the date format used by forms (6i) set up. I previously used to enter 20110519 in my applications and the application and it used to accept. It now does not accept the above format. Requires 'DD-MON-YYYY'.
The nls_date_format on the database is setup as YYYYMMDD.
Thanks

It takes it's format from NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the registry (HKLM/Software/Oracle/YourHome). I think the default is dd-mon-rr if the key is not defined.
I would say it is not good practice to rely on this setting. It is better to always have explicit data formatting in your forms itself.

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!
Thanks,
S

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.

Date format when printing Maintenance Order

Dear Colleagues
When I print a Work Order, I'm getting the date format as DD-MM-YYYY
I know that I can change this format in the User Parameters, however I need to modify a huge number of users.
Question 1) Is there a way to setup the date format independent of the user parameters?
Question 2) I'd like to have the date like this: JAN-01-2010. But I don't have this option in the User Parameters. Do you know how can I do it?
Thank you for your help

Davison,
Its not possible using user settings. All you would need to do is copy the SAP SCRIPTForm program(You can keep the Print program as such) and set date mask as required in SAP script text editor using command
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
Now the date variable value written out on the screen would be
&DATE& -> JAN 01, 2010
You could revert to standard settings using command
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

"date format not recognised" in DBMS_SESSION, on page over db_link

Hi,
I have an Apex 4.0 page which has a region that gets data constituted from a connection across a database link.
The host database is 11.1.0.6 and the remote database is 9.0.1. (Both Standard Edition)
I am using EPG.
Intermittently, I receive the following error (having turned debugging on):
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:21:53 GMT
ORA-20867: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
ORA-02063: preceding line from CLIFF
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 157
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_LANG", line 387
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW", line 9284
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 267
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 294
ORA-06512: at line 30
I'm somewhat confused as to what is causing the generation of this error.
After receiving this error, anything I else that I do that involves building 'pages' works perfectly fine. I can login/out, no problems.
However, if I try and RUN any page within my application thereafter (all of these access local DB information apart the 1 that generates the error), I continue to receive exactly the same error - no matter which page I am trying to access.
Help?
- Tony.

Hi Patrick,
No. I haven't yet applied the patchset. May do that this afternoon now.
I don't believe I've manually set any date formats anywhere. Just entered the Builder with default options (apart from choosing a theme) and away I went!!
What surprises me is that the application has no problems viewing all the data. The functionality all seems fine. I had this working on a previous setup for months,. without any problems, using version 3.2. (This wasn't migrated though, this was a rebuild from scratch.)
From further "tests", the error seems to occur when I edit the page that involves the remote data.
Normally, a user would land on the page from having used a hyperlink column on a previous page's classic report region.
The point at which it all starts to go wrong is if I connect to the page as normal, but then EDIT the page, and then try and re-run it.
The problem with the date format then re-occurs repetitively, no matter which page I try and view. Sometimes pages will load some components, but then generate odd errors with others. e.g. I have a small series of 3 dial charts, all with slightly varying SQL series (same SQL, slightly different where clause). Now I am seeing that 1 may load and 2 may give odd flash errors...
Right now, I just tried to Export my application - and I still got given the date format error!! Sub-sequent retries allowed the operation to complete successfully.
The only way I seem to be able to eradicate the recurring errors is to kill all the currently connected ANONYMOUS users in the DB, and then relog to the application.

How can I modify the date format in Autoimporter?

I am finding it impossible to get my iMac recognise my Canon SX200 camera and thus allow Picasa to import its pics. Autoimporter, though, does see it and will create and populate a usefully date-named folder with them.
Useful up to a point - Autoimporter's date is in the system's format (for me, dd-mm-yyyy) which does not allow the folders to fall naturally into date order in Picasa. International date format (yyyy-mm-dd) would be ideal.
Can anyone advice how Autoimporter's date format can be modified, please?
Or tell how they got their Canon SX200 to be recognised by Picasa?

I actually use a pretty manual solution for this with a few command line tools: ExifTool, bash, and AppleScript. It's fairly raw, but here's the process in case you're intereted.
First, make sure ExifTool is working. Install it if needed.
Create a bash script that moves the photos from your auto-import folder to yyyy-mm-dd folders.
Here's a sample bash script:
#!/bin/bash
SOURCE_DIR=“/Users/yourusername/Pictures/Imported"
DEST_DIR=“/Users/yourusername/Pictures"
if [ -d $DEST_DIR ]; then
     for i in $( find $SOURCE_DIR -type f ) ; do
          mkdir -p $(exiftool -d $DEST_DIR/%y%y-%m%m-%d%d/ -p '$DateTimeOriginal' $i);
          mv -n $i $DEST_DIR/$(stat -t %y%y-%m%m-%d%d $i | awk '{print $12}' | sed s/\"//g )/;
     done
fi
Create an AppleScript file that calls the bash script, example:
do shell script "~/bin/movephotos.sh”
Then right-click the folder where you auto-import files, go to Services > Folder Actions Setup, and connect the bash script as an action for the folder.

How do I change the date format to standard dd/mm/yy?

I've looked through the settings, I've looked through the help files and I've searched the forums, but I couldn't even find mention of this. My phone will only display the date as mm/dd/yy, which as far as I know is only used in USA and I've set my location to London.
Normally this isn't a problem unless the numbers are close eg. 11/10/13, which I would always read as 11th October 2013 and I have gotten this wrong before.
The only solution I have is a label stuck on the phone to remind me.
This is only a minor irritation, but as I can't fix it, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
JP

Change the date format from mm/dd to dd/mm

Is there any way to change the date format? Currently, my today screen, calendar app, etc is set to display dates as mm/dd. I'd like to change it to the UK format (dd/mm) but I have not been able to find a single method that works. I've tried themes as some have recommended but once I install them, it's still showing mm/dd.
I'm not unfamiliar with upgrading the OS and "slimming" it down, so even a method that requires me to remove US resource files will be okay.
Frankly I'm disappointed RIM doesn't provide users with a "Regional Settings" type option like in Windows to change the date format.
Any advice would be most appriciated.

Yes you can change Date format from mm/dd to dd/mm its done automatically by " Display language " selected :
Go to Menu : Setup - choose - Language and Input Methods - look for " Display Language" there is a small window with down arrow , click the down arrow and , change from " English" to " English (UK) "for DD / MM ,date format , or change to " English (US) " for MM / DD date format.
Hope this help .

Trying to change a pre-defined report. Date format is wrong, 20140217 should be 17.02.2014.

The pre-defined report in sccm "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs" has a query like this:
Select DISTINCT sys.Netbios_Name0, fcm.SiteCode, sys.User_Domain0, sys.User_Name0, sys.Operating_System_Name_and0, arp.DisplayName0,
arp.InstallDate0
FROM fn_rbac_R_System(@UserSIDs) sys
JOIN v_Add_Remove_Programs arp ON sys.ResourceID = arp.ResourceID
JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on sys.ResourceID=fcm.ResourceID
WHERE DisplayName0 like @filterwildcard and fcm.CollectionID=@CollID
I have highlighted the part that I added to the report.
I have inserted an extra column in Report Builder, and added the value inside the column and the install date can be viewed in the report. However the date format is shown like this: 20140217 - I want it to be 17.02.2014.
So I try to change this via right-clicking on the cell in Report Builder, Text Box Properties, Number. Here I choose Date and the correct format. However it does not change the date format when saving and running the report again. It just stays the same.
Kthxbai

The format can be change if it was a date. But if you look that field it is NOT a date, it is a string and therefore will not change to the data format that you want.
On top of this, there is a bigger problem. Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.....

Sorry - I am not sure what you mean by the last statement. "Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.."
- Would it be possible to elaborate? Thank you very much.

Date format mismatch between OIM 11gR2 GTC and backend custom database table (Oracle 11g R2)

Hi,
We have an OIM 11g R2 version running that has a GTC installed and configured. The GTC is used to provision to a 11g R2 database table via the DBAT 9.1.0.5.0 connector. Now the requirement is that the timestamp be recorded in the backend DB when a new record is provisioned to it using the GTC.
During the setup of the GTC, the target system date format is asked for should be one from among the values allowed by the following predefined formats:
Customizing Formats (The Java&trade; Tutorials &gt; Internationalization &gt; Formatting)
Now our problem is that the target DB to which the provisioning is supposed to happen, isn't under our control and hence we cannot change its schema, and the date format in that table is of the type "01-JAN-10 12.00.00.000000000 AM", which translates to "dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.fffffffff (AM/PM)".
On the other hand, as you can see from the above link, none of the values that OIM allows to be passed through the GTC allow for that format to be used.
Does anyone know of any way in which we can intercept the GTC provisioning request and convert the date on the fly, after OIM has passed on the control, but before the values are written into the DB table, or does anyone know of any workarounds to this issue?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could provide a solution to this.
Thanks.

See 26.6 for the plugin.zip directory structure, and as I said, I used the same method on a previous task in the same OIM instance.
