Clients an Regional Settings

Clients an Regional Settings
Hello,
I have one problem with my data base cause i have 20 clients and
13 of thems transport the default client regional settings when
they start to connect with Oracle 8.1.6. DB Server (Sun
Solaris). They do that true the ALTER SESSION....
Thank's for the help,
Barco da Cunha, Miguel

Hi,
If you are running a Cloud Deployment in which you deployed own image you could obviously, prior to uploading the image to Azure, make the necessary changes within the image to allow those to reflect to new users as part of the default profile. If you want
to allow users to specify their own regional settings you could publish the Control Panel for them as follows
For example here the Control Panel Regional Settings applet running as a Azure RemoteApp.

Hi Grant,
first very thanks for the kind reply and here my problem goes on :
I only see the problem with Turkish regional setting.I tried german,french ... and at first install of the jinitiator it always asked for me to GRANT ALWAYS to the Certificate.But when i use turkish it never asks and so the certificate does not being signed also my application does not run which uses corresponding jar files which are not signed.However,as i defined in my previous mail if at first the client has English,German or French regional setting the IE browser asks for the "Grant Always" certificate and then if the client changes her regional setting to Turkish it does not matter that my application runs.Because the IE browser already signed the corresponding jars while my client's regional setting was english at first install.
Why oracle does not support turkish based regional setting installation of the Jinitiator1.3.1.9
Is there any way to do it with oracle.Or I have to write a program which will make the regional settings english at the first installation of the jinitiator1.3.1.9
If you need further explanation do not hesitate to write me.Thanks :)
Best Regards,

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.

App-V 5.0 package, struggling to change regional settings

Hello,
I have an issue with a specific company app that requires certain regional settings to be present, which is not acceptable in a RDS server environment.
The tried and failed:
1) Modifying registries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International doesn't do the trick.
2) Using a script (control.exe intl.cpl,,/f:\\serverfilepath) stopped working with the following error message:
Any recommendations? I was under heavy impression that registries typically solve all issues for such apps.

Hello,
You can most likey include the registry keys in the package - but my assumption is the following;
1. They would be excluded by the sequencer
2. They would be excluded by the client
3. Any API would not directly point to the virtual registry keys
So virtualizing them would be useless.
The last error message seems to relate to how you are locking down the server.

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.

Currency format and Regional Settings

Is it possible for WebI reports to honor Regional Settings (client system or BO system or BO setup) and correctly handle the currency format without making any changes to the report?
Neeraj Bhatia

There might be a smarter way, but you could use alerters and the GetLocale() function.
Create a new variable called, Currency Type with the formula
=If GetLocale() InList("en_AU";"en_US") THEN "Dollar" ELSE "Euro"
Or whatever. Then use an alerter where the "Filtered object or cell" is the Currency Type variable, and the Operand is "Dollar" then click Format... then at the top click Default next to Number Format and set the appropriate currency format.
Add a sub-alerter to do the same for Euro, and whatever other currencies you must allow for.
Hope that helps.

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.

How to modify regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 working?

When I modify the regional settings on my W7 PC (i.e. switching the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol from dot to comma and vice-versa), I cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer nor can I convert Office documents to PDF files anymore. It seem like the joboptions files were getting corrupted (I can see read errors).
Can anyone advise on how to modify the regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 Pro working properly? Do I have to adopt the joboptions files (and if yes, how?)?
Thank you for your advice!

The defaults for three are blank entries. That is there are no defaults, The only way to get those back to being blank would be to delete your preferences file ( Home->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Aperture,plist ) and possibly the files in *Home->Library->Program Support->Aperture* (but I don't think you would need to do these, not sure.)
However before you do this you should know there is no drawback to having these entries filled in. Aperture would only attempt to use them if you actually selected them while using Aperture. It won't be looking for them on startup. And if the programs pointed to by these entries no longer exist on your system Aperture won't even fill in the names in the menu items where these are pointed to ( *Photos->Edit with* for example)

Changing regional settings in CS6/Acrobat X Pro

Hello,
I have just installed CS6 and would like to change the regional settings from USA to European A4.
The following test has been done:
Created customised A4 job options for each of: Standard Quality, High Quality, Press Quality
Then edited preference for Conversion from Microsoft Word to PDF using new job option 'Standard Quality A4'
PDF created is still in Letter sizing after rebooting machine.
Note: the original Microsoft Word file has a page setup of A4.
What is the best way to make wholesale changes across Adobe CS6 so that millimetres/A4 settings are the default ?
Thank you.

Hi Cre8tiveNess,
You need to set the same preferences in Control Panel > Adobe PDF Printer > Printing preferences.

T400, Backslash appearing as #, all the regional settings are correct though

hi
I have a T400 laptop, its regional settings are set for english (ireland) and i have also tried the Irish(ireland) settings, but for what ever reason, the Backslash, which is located just above the "enter" key, when pressed brings back the hash# symbol, when pressing shift, it brings back the ~ , and i cannot find the backslash, unless i use charmap.
any ideas on how to sort this issue??
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

just did some more diggin there, under the "Text services and input languages" i have set the "Default input language" as "English(United States)-United States-International.
this has sorted the problem
thanks for all the help and input.

PWA site template with warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings"

SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows message in yellow "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings."
KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749599/en-us suggests applying Windows and SharePoint updates, but does not points to a specific update. Also suggests to enable "Always follow
web settings" for affected users who are in different time zone than the server time zone, but it does not work either.
Manjeet Singh

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.
Step 1: Open your Web Database in your Browser
Step 2: Click the Arrow Under the Login ID (upper right corner)
Step 3: Choose My Settings
Step 4: Click the My Regional Settings Link
Step 5: Uncheck the 'Always Follow Web Settings' check and specify your time zone.
Step 6: Click OK
For more information, you can refer to:

Regional Settings differences between 2008 and 2012

Hi There,
Can anyone explain why some of the regional setting details have changed with Win 2012?
Example: Dutch (Belgium) - nl-BE
The 'Digital Grouping Symbol' has changed from a DOT to a WHITESPACE.
2008 - €1.000,00 whereas 2012 - €1 000,00
If the settings are changed on the servers will they persist after OS updates etc?
Rgds,
Frank

Hi Vivian,
I see no reference in the KB article to modifications for the CET timezone nor any reference to the resolution of culture format info discrepancies.
A further issue is that the active regional settings on our PRD servers will be set to United States and it would appear that any modification to the Belgium locales (i.e. nl-BE, fr-BE) are not persisted once you switch to United States as the
active setting.
The knock on effect of this is that for our PRD web-applications (which are active across many regions), we have to write code to override the OS information. .NET uses the OS info to populate its Culture information.
Could you confirm if the differences between 2008 and 2012 are the result of a bug or are the changes planned? Based on communication with some of our customers in Belgium, they are of the opinion that the 2008 (and Win 2003) settings are per their expectations.
I really do not what to have to handle these situations across our application landscape and am sure that other people with globalized applications will also hit problems.

BOXI 3.0 - Strange behaviour in infoview regarding regional settings

Requirement: Currency to be shown in Brazil format (##.###,00)
We have a requirement where all financials in reports should be in a Brazil format (##.###,00).
As the report is built in Deski (.rpt) therefore u201CPreferred Viewing Localeu201D setting in infoview will not work (works only for .wdl- webi reports).
We followed below steps in Deski report to meet our requirement:
Tools -> options -> Language -> Unsupported Language -> Portuguese(Brazil)->checked the option u201Dmigration forcedu201D.
It worked perfectly when run in deski.We published the report in infoview but didnu2019t see any change in format, it was still showing us in English(US).For testing purpose we published the copy of same report and could see the changes. But after refreshing few times the formatting got disappeared.
Please help how to get the desired behavior in infoview.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pallavi

Hi Seb,
Thanks seb.
But the problem is we have reports for country UK,AUS,US ..etc as well in our repository.If we change the regional settings the format will change for these reports too.We want this format only for Brazil reports ..so this solution won't work in our case.
Why is Unsupported Language settings not working in infoview (we have applied this settings in Brazil reports only)...or is there anything that i have missed in settings?
Regards,
Pallavi

Regional settings is not effecting in SQL Server

Hi All,
I made changes to the regional and language (made decimal = ,) of the windows server 2008 R2 Standard but the database still not accepting comma as a decimal point.
Tried restarting the SQL Server services and restarted the server without luck.
Really appreciate inputs.
Thanks,
Ram.
Please don't forget to Marked as Answer if my post solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful. It will helpful to other users.

1. Right click on the server name.
2. Click on Facets.
3. Then select Server Configuration Facet.
4. Look for Default Language.
5. Set it to values as given in the below link:- For Ex: 1 for German
This changes the default language for new users. (And I don't think there is a need to restart of SQL Server, but I have not checked.)
To change the default language for an existing user, use ALTER USER.
But of course, the whole talk about language setting in SQL Server in this context is completely uselss. SQL Server only knows about decimal points. This applies both to literals in the code, and when interpreting strings with CAST/CONVERT.
Everyone is correct that that regional settings does not affect SQL Server - nor should it, it is a server after all.
One more point here when i try creating a filtering functionality on application it is creating decimal as "." not "," is this issue related to application or DB?
I have no idea what you are doing, but the answer is probably the application.

Java does not recognize my regional settings in xp

Hi,
I have set my windows xp Regional Settings for canada/french but I also have resetted the decimal point to a dot ('.') instead of the defaulted comma (,). My JVM does not seem to recognize these changes as it still shows my decimals with a comma.
Is there any way to change that behavior ?
lacou

In the past each major platform (Sun JDK, IBM JDK, Microsoft, HP, etc.) developed and maintained their own locale data, based on various input (could be ISO standards in some countries, or input from localization teams etc). Actually very difficult to create and maintain, since few countries have strict standards and users within countries disagree about what is "correct".
In recent years the Common Locale Data Repository (http://www.unicode.org/cldr/) has been established to create a common standard across platforms. ICU (http://icu.sourceforge.net/userguide/) now pulls locale data directly from the CLDR, one of the major reasons to use ICU4J.
With the work on CLDR some of the other platforms have worked on trying to align with the common standard, but there are still differences. You can find comparison charts here: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/main/index.html
