Change Globalization in Packaged Application without unlocking

Question

Hi,
Is this possible? I'm currently looking at the new Data Reporter application and it looks very good indeed, I can see us using it straight out of the box. Unfortunately for us it's set to English (US) so we get dollars instead of pounds in our reports. The only way I can change it is to unlock it first, but this means that it's not longer elligible for updates, so I wondered if there was a way round this.
Thanks,
Nick.

Answer 1

I submitted a service request and got an answer, so I'll put it here in case anyone else needs it:-
I will make an Enhancement Request to make it possible in the future to change the
Primary Language for a packaged application.
I will let you know the number of this enhancement later.
A workaround could be the following for now (I tried this and it worked):
1. Login to your database with user sys.
2. Perform the following query:
select workspace, to_char(application_group_id), application_id, APPLICATION_PRIMARY_LANGUAGE from apex_040200.apex_applications where workspace not in ('INTERNAL', 'COM.ORACLE.APEX.REPOSITORY') and application_name='Data Reporter';
This will return all Applications 'Data Reporter' in your APEX environment.
Find out the application_id in the row that is the one for your workspace.
3. Now we will update the primary language for this application with the following statement:
update apex_040200.wwv_flows set flow_language='en-gb' where id=<application_id you found at the previous step> and name='Data Reporter';
4. commit;
