BPC 7 (Microsoft) installed with incorrect regional settings

Hello experts
We have just established that our operating system was installed using the regional setting English (UK) instead of English (US). The symptom we currently have is that in the Report Library we get an error when sorting by date. We have been running BPC for around 4 months now and this is the only problem relating to dates that we have noticed.
We have been advised that the only way to correct this problem is to reinstall the operating system, SQL server and BPC.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Re-installing everything seems like a major undertaking for what appears to be such a small problem. What other problems are we likely to have in the future if we don't reinstall everything?
We are running a single server with:
- Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise Edition
- SQL Server Enterprise 2008
- BPC 7.0 (Microsoft) SP04
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Tamara

Hi You don't need to reinstall.
You just have to do the follow steps:
1. Open COntrol Panel - Regional and Language Options
Advance section - Select English US reg settings and select check box: "Apply the current settings to default user...."
Press Apply and Ok.
2. Open registry editor using regedit command (in comand line)
Go to HKEY_USERS- .Default- Control Panel - International and make sur enow you have English US settings.
If you have then export this key International into a file. US.reg
Check all key from HKEY_USERS- S-1-......- Control Panel - International
If it is any of these key not English US then edit the US.reg and replace .Default with S-1-....
for all occurences.
THis will solve your issue.
Another solution is actually to change for all keys from HKEY_USERS
.Default - Control Panel - International all the date format to be US format not UK format.
But this is a more dangerous change and it was not complete tested.
I suggest the first one which was tested for other customers.
I hope this will help you.

Jdeveloper 11g cannot be installed on Windows with Thai regional settings

I have no idea where to properly submit this issue. Hope I do not abuse this forum for too much.
Jdeveloper 11g cannot be installed on Windows with Thai regional settings configuration.
I've got "A fatal error has occurred. This application will terminate" error dialog, while installing.
I have to change my regional settings to English then install it and change my setting back later.
Regards

Sigh... This forum software doesn't even support image posting.
The error is every easy to reproduce.
1. On Windows XP, goto "Control Panel" -> "Regional and Language Options" -> "Standards and format"; and change that to "Thai"
2. Invoke "jdevstudio11110install.exe"
3. Always click "Next" until the error dialog appear.
<pre>
. Exit [x] .
. [!] A fatal error has occurred. This application will .

From my experience, this always have something to do with the Buddhist Era year system (AD + 543).

Problems with the system decimal point with german regional settings

I have a Labview 6 app that needs deploying to Germany.
My app sends strings over VISA RS232 and GPIB instruments with floating point numbers.
When changing from English to German regional settings, in Windows XP, periods are now interpreted as commas and the app starts truncating my decimal numbers. So in the English Regional Setting when I send 1.234 I get 1.234 but in the German Regional Settings when I send 1.234 I get 1.000.
I have turned off the "Use localized decimal point" in Tools - Options - Front Panel as well as set any function (Frac/Exp String to Number) that has a "Use System Decimal Point" connector to FALSE.
Now here's my problem....
This fixed the issue I was having as long as I am in the development environment, however, once I build the application I still get the truncated numbers. Example: I send 1.234 to an instrument and it sees 1.000.
Again this works fine in the development enviroment, sending 1.234 reads 1.234 with German regional settings.
Any help is appreciated.

You can use a simple function of the "Scan from string" function.
Place "%.;" (Without the quotes) in the scanning string, and this will tell LV to use a decimal point for interpretation. If you place "%,;", this will tell it to use a comma.
You can place this at the beginning of your format string, and it simply tells the parser how to work, it doesn't otherwise produce an output.
Using simply "%;" sets the seperator to the system default (maybe the best idea after the code has been run as the changed decimal point character apparently remains changed otherwise). From the LV help
The following codes control the decimal separator used for numeric output. These codes do not cause any input or output to occur. They change the decimal separator for all further inputs/outputs until the next %; is found.
%,; comma decimal separator
%.; period decimal separator
%; system default separator
Hope this helps

No data to refresh in BPC clients with Russian regional settings

Hello, colleagues
I hope to get some advices and information about saving data in BPC client computers with non-English regional settings (e.g., decimal point is set ","). Our BPC server has English regional settings.
BPC 7.0, SQL Server 2008. I created new Input Schedule by using standard EVDRE function. And data was not sent to SQL Server after clicking Send and Refresh, I got the message "No data to refresh". I examined hidden sheet EVDRE_DATACACHE and found cells in row A with cache data in XML format. After some experiments I found out that if all data values will be replaced with symbol "S" then all data in the sheet with EVDRE could be saved correctly. I don't know any other methods to make data with decimal point "," to be saved. Also I tried to change members of Measure (Periodic - YTD) but i got the same result.
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have the problem into server.
I think you have the regional settings wrong into server.
We have actually many customers using French, German, Dutch language having "," for decimal separator and it is working fine.
It is not working when actually the settings into the server are not English US.
Please check the follow keys from application server:
HKEY_USERS - .Default - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-18.. - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-19 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-20 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21........ ..- Control Panel - International
These keys should be sett all for english US. If it is at least one not correct that can cause problems with sending data.

Microsoft Windows : Changing the region settings using browser.

Hi,
We have a jsp page which has a drop down list and a textbox. It has 3 languages namely, English, French, Spanish, Hindi and Tamil.
If a user select French, the region should automatically changed and if the user type some thing in the text box next to drop down, he should see the characters in French, same way for all the languages.
We are trying to achieve this on the client side. We are trying to implement this using JSP Page,
Is there any way to achieve this or Do we have to include any VB Script.
Please reply back if you have any suggestion.
Thanks,

I had the same issue - all VIs in English, but DAQmx and its subVIs were in German.
I completely uninstalled/reinstalled LabVIEW and the issue persisted. I'm running LabVIEW 2014 (14.0, 32-bit) on Windows 8 64-bit, and I have another system running the LabVIEW 2014 on Windows 7 64-bit affected by the same issue. All possible language and region settings on both computers are English (United States).
I was able to fix the issue by downloading the newest standalone DAQmx software (14.5 at time of writing this)
http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-14.5/5212/en/
and just let it do a typical installation, over my current software, without uninstalling anything specific. Everything seems to be fixed now - hope this helps someone else.

BPC 7.0 Install error

Hi,
I'm trying to install BPC 7.0 for Microsoft on Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. During installation of BPC I get the folling error: "current user name does not have permission for Administrators Group - Incorrect". I thought I give it a try and installed BPC anyway, no problems else besides "couldn't create sample OLAP database". When I start know the digansotic on BPC-Server, I get more or less the same error message: Status: Administrator is not a member of local Administrators Group or Doman Adminsitrator Group. But the user Administrator has on the Windows server all permission, is a use of the group Admin, and also has all permissions on SQL server.
I have Windows Server and SQL Server only in german version available, is that maybe the problem? After installing windows server I switched regional settings to english.
I hope there is someone who can help me!
thanks
BR
Chris

If the Windows is German you wil not be able to set all the reginal settings to English US if you don't change the registry information:
Just have a look into HKEY_USERS - .Default- Control Panel - International
Also check all the other key like HKEY_USERS - S-1- Control Panel - International
You will see that at least one of these key will remain with German regional settings and this will create issue for SAP BPC installation
For SQL Server basically you can use German SQL server but you have to set the collation from Installation Guide
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Regional settings impact JavaScript Number conversion to String in applet

Environment:
XP, IE6 and IE7, JDK 1.6.0_13,1.6.0_10,1.6.0_7, Apache
Hi,
We recently converted our application from the MS JVM to Sun JVM 1.6 and have since had numerous problems with a user's regional setting impacting the application's behaviour.
The application is using an applet, passing JavaScript Number values to an Applet where the input argument in the Java function is declared as a String.
We have users with various regional settings, most don't impact the application, but we have found problems when the regional settings are set to "French (France)" or "German (Germany)".
With "French (France)" JavaScript Number values >=10000000 get truncated to a Java String value of just the first character.e.g. 10000000 is converted to "1", 200000000 is converted to "2".
With "German (Germany)" a trailing "0" is added to the converted String, and for values >=10000000 we get the String value with an additional 6 "0"s and then 2 additional "0"s as the input Number value is increments by each power of 10.
A simple example follows.
Any help understanding why this is happening and any coding solution would be appreciated.
The default number format for the various regional settings seems to be impacting the implicit conversion to String in LiveConnect.
We can re-code to convert the Number value to a String in the JavaScript before calling the applet, but this involves significant re-coding of the application.
We also have a workaround to verify that navigator.userLanguage returns one of the list of supported languages and exit the application if the language is unsupported.
Thanks
Rob

I have found a workaround by setting the locale in the applet to a locale that does perform implicit Number to String conversion correctly.
e.g.
public void init() {
try {
Locale.setDefault(Locale.US);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Failed to set Locale, Caught Exception: " + e.getMessage());
and adding this line to the java.policy to prevent "access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.language write)" errors.
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.language", "read, write";

Regional settings influences jdbc stored procedure calls?

Hi,
We have a strange problem: we use a jdbc test client
that does a simple stored procedure call with one
input parameter (integer) and one output parameter
(integer). Like:
"? = callprocedure(?)" . The database resides on a different server.
The problem is: this only works when we use "netherlands" regional setting on the windows 2000 machine that
java client program runs on. If we switch to
"english (united states)" the call gives other results
in the output parameter / returns an error code.
Does this have something to do with the Locale of the
virtual machine? Or do I have to do something with
NLS_LANG to eliminate the behaviour that is dependent on
the windows regional settings? Please help!
Thanks,
Michel Schudel
We use the Oracle JDBC thin driver, latest version.
(archive: classes12.zip)

Ok, here it is. Basically, I first call a stored procedure called SETPARAM which receives two Strings:
a parameter name and a a parameter value. After that, I
call a procedure called RUNSQLKIT without any input parameters. The output parameter is an integer that indicates the number of "cells" in the output message. After that, I start to retrieve the cells but that is not important here. What happens is: with Dutch regional settings, the number of cells is normal (387) but with
US settings, the number of cells is -1 (indicates an error.) Why? I use no dates or floating point values as
input/output!
Jvm version is 1.3.1_08, oracle driver is 8.1.7
(Oracle 8i) thin jdbc driver. Oracle runs on AIX.
conn = m_dataSource.getConnection();
// Setup the input params
stmtInput = conn.prepareCall("BEGIN Pck_Sqlmast.setparam(?,?); END;");
for (final Iterator iter = m_kitParameterNames.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
final String sName = (String) iter.next();
final String sValue = input.getParameter(sName);
if (sValue != null) {
stmtInput.setString(1, sName);
stmtInput.setString(2, sValue);
stmtInput.executeUpdate();
// Call the kit
stmtRun = conn.prepareCall("BEGIN ? := Pck_Sqlmast.runsqlkit(?); END;");
stmtRun.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
stmtRun.setString(2, m_kitName);
stmtRun.executeUpdate();
final int iCells = stmtRun.getInt(1);
Hi Michel,
Perhaps you would care to post some more information
including:
1. Entire error message and stack trace you are
getting.
2. The part of your java code where the error
occurs.
3. Java version you are using.
4. Oracle database version you are using.
5. Platform on which Oracle database is running.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings".
Users are getting this message even after correctly specifying and changing the timezone in their Sharepoint Settings. This is a common problem across the net, but we've found a workaround
that will eliminate this problem.

Problem with Crystal Report XI and Regional Settings

Dear All,
I am working on Crystal Report XI under Chinese Windows 2000 Professional and Chinese Visual Foxpro 9.0.
I created a User defined Function Library under VFP9.0 as an ActiveX with a function that return a String. I could saw the function in CR XI and the function works fine when returning English. When the function returning a Chinese String, CR XI gives different result. The Chinese text returned from the function only works when my regional settings (control panel -> regional settings) is set to Chinese Taiwan otherwise it shows "??????".
It is queer, the text object always correct, shows Chinese text, no matter what regional settings is. I did try my best in VFP to convert the string to double byte, unicode, etc but it stilll doesn't work.
Could anyone help me please. Thank you.
Regards,
Antony

If you have the correct font, it will actually say "MS Arial Unicode" in any of the font drop downs - CR Designer, MS Word or any other software. So, you'll have to ensure that the font is installed.

Set with filter Expirationtime comparison current-datetime does not list members: regional settings?

Hi all;
I've created a criteria-based set that has to filter for users that have an
"expiration Time" "prior to" "today".
xpath filter: /Person[ExpirationTime < fn:current-dateTime()]
I've got one user where I've set a date expired to a week ago.
When I click view members it does not return any results. When I change the logic to
"expiration Time" "after" "today". to see how this logic works, it doesn't return any results either.
I'm working in Belgium, regional settings are d/MM/yyyy H:mm (in 24h format).
My browser language is also set to nl-BE, where FIM actually uses this in the PORTAL field too:
Today in Belgium is 16/09/2014 16:45. But My set returns 0 members.
I've read some articles that FIM needs the format in yyyy/MM/dd format (for import)
Is it correct that FIM Portal doesn't handle this XPATH current-dateTime() function correctly for foreign regional settings?
I've tried to set it current-dateTime("d/MM/yyyy") or other variants, but that gives an error when I'm trying to save.
Kind regards,
David

Hi,
I've checked, the "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" is running, and set to automatic.
I've changed the Local default to "dutch (Belgium)" in the Site settings (it was English (US)):
I've launched iisreset to restart the website.
I've looked at the set, no members. I've validated if the users its date format was OK (and Belgian/European style) => it was.
I've played in the set with the different options (I'm translating as these are in Dutch):
- Prior to 1 day
- Prior to 1 day from today
- Prior to "Tuesday 16 September 2014 0:00:00" (from a calendar control)
- Prior to today
None of these returned any user records :(

Problem with Batch Loader and FDM user regional settings

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1.
When I use the English regional settings for my FDM user account, I can do Export Excel from FDM, but Batch Loader doesn't work (Error : "one or more parallel processes failed to start).
When I use the French regional settings for my FDM user account, Export to Excel doesn't work anymore (Error: Conversion from string "12.0" to type 'Long' is not valid. Detail: InnerException1: Input string was not in a correct format.), but the Batch loader is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

Hi Mittal,
By default, formats for date is determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. So the formats for date is determined by the language of the
operating system on which the report server is installed.
When you deploy the report to SharePoint site that the regional setting is set to English (Australia), please also set the report language to ‘en-AU’. Then the date format can be also changes to English (Australia).
If the issue is still exited, could you please tell us the date format of date parameters and the field? If possible, please post the screenshot about this, then we can make further analysis.

HT1918 How do you change your country/region settings with a balance?

I've relocated to another country and still have a 1 yuan balance with my itunes account that was synced in China. When I try to change my region settings to Canada, it says that I must spend my balance in order to make the switch. There is nothing that I can purchase that is 1yuan (even when if I top up the balance, there isn't an app that is 51 yuan or 101 yuan). How can I get rid of the balance so that I can change my country settings to Canada?

System local V Regional Settings

Guys,
I understand now that the system local on a OS determines the character set used based on the language chosen.
How does this differ from regional settings are they not similiar ?
Thanks

If you are looking for the difference then here you go:
Regional options settings
The Regional
Options tab contains the following settings:
Standards and formats
These are user-specific settings and are stored as part of the user profile.
Location
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Language settings
The Languages tab
contains the following settings:
Default input language
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Installed services
This is a computer-wide setting.
