FirstDayOfWeek (change from Sunday to Monday)

Hi,
I want to use the Dataformat on the column to specify which dayname corresponds to weekday. That is
1- Monday
2- Tuesday
7 - Sunday
This works well if I use the function DAYNAME (either in Answers or the BI Server), but the values they give back are not translated. I want the translated versions (from localedefinitions.xml) but then I receive other values in return.
Like this:
Date DayOfWeek DAYNAME (using DayName as format in Answers)
01.06.2009 1 Monday Sunday
02.06.2009 2 Tuesday Monday
03.06.2009 3 Wednesday Tuesday
04.06.2009 4 Thursday Wednesday
05.06.2009 5 Friday Thursday
06.06.2009 6 Saturday Friday
07.06.2009 7 Sunday Saturday
To use the DayName format in Answers the input must be a number from 1-7, so first I use the DAYOFWEEK function. I have changed the firstDayOfWeek parameter in localedefinitions.xml but nothing changes (services has been started and stopped..). Any ideas?

I have already tried that too, but it doesn't affect the day of week.. If I use the functions DAYOFWEEK I get the correct result, but it is not translated (to local language from log in). Using the Format on the column is the only way to get the value translated. I changed the FirstDayOfWeek parameter to many value (0,1,2), restarted BI server etc., but nothing changes.
To use the format DayName (on the column) the value must be 1-7, but whatever I do Answers translates (using Format!) 1 - Sunday, 2- Monday etc. The firstDayOfWeek in localedefinitions.xml doesn't affect any of this. Which is very strange. Is this a bug..?

    Hey there Grelin,
    The printed calendars start on the same day that you have your calendar set to start on. You can change that in Calendars Preferences:
    Change the days and times displayed - Calendar Help
    Choose Calendar > Preferences, then click General.

  • Function Module to convert date to week from Sunday to Saturday

    Thanks
    Sebastien

    Hi,
    I think this SAP standardized. Maybe you need to create custom FM.
    You can copy SAP FM DATE_GET_WEEK. in the FORM FIRSTWEEK, I see below case,
    CASE start_weekday.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_monday.
          start_weekday_number = 1.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_tuesday.
          start_weekday_number = 2.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_wednesday.
          start_weekday_number = 3.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_thursday.
          start_weekday_number = 4.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_friday.
          start_weekday_number = 5.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_saturday.
          start_weekday_number = 6.
        WHEN if_calendar_definition=>c_sunday.
          start_weekday_number = 7.
      ENDCASE.
    Maybe you can play something here.

    What system and iPhoto version are you running?  What theme are you using.
    All of my calendars do have the month starting on Sunday,  Don't know of any way to change it.  Where are you located?
    How do you have your Calendar application's preferences set to, Sunday or Monday start of week?

    I just went from 3G to 4. The steps I used was:
    1) Activate the iphone 4 as a new phone (not from backup)
    2) tested mosts functions to make sure the phone was good.
    3) restored the iphone from backup of my 3G which I upgraded to iOS4 Monday.
    4) Allowed time for all the data to be restored to the phone.
    5) put in any required passwords, etc for email and wifi network.
    Are all these steps necessary? I don't know, but it worked for me.
    Hope all goes well...

  • Exchange - iCal - availability on Sunday and Monday

    The company has Exchange 2007.
    All users that use iCal, iPad and iPhone to access exchange show up as busy on Sunday and Monday when trying to find availability in iCal.
    (they show up shaded/grey. If they have appointsments they are shown as well...)
    Everything is fine in Outlook on the windows machines.
    We have checked the settings in the Outlook Profile and it is the same as the non-Mac users.
    Any idea what might be causing this?

  • Issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of

    Dear Experts,
    I have an issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of the Month.
    One employee was retired on 29th of March, so his payroll area was changed from biweekly to monthly on 29th. For retire we are running the payroll on 8th of every month. When we are running payroll for April he has received only 29th and 30th retire salary, by the time he is not yet retired also.
    In this case the main problem is monthly payroll time is early then biweekly. so the employee is getting retire salary then his regular pay.
    Can you guide me where we can control that monthly payroll area should not be triggered at this movement.
    Thanks
    Chandra

    You can do that but it is not that easy as it sounds if you have to do that over a period of say 10-20 years...lot of operational work!!
    Also say if you load the retiree action one month ahead say on 03/01/2011. And the employee is retiring on  03/29.
    Retire payroll is on 04/08
    Biweekly is on 04/15
    Now you decide to lock the employees after the 1st biweekly check of March...say which was process 14 days before 04/15 would be 04/01. The employee number is locked between 04/01 to 04/15. For 14 days you have locked these employees!!
    What happens if there is adjustment pay...you have to manually go and unlock the employee and lock him after the adjustment check.
    I will let you decide based on the comfort, SAP effort, Operational effort and system maintenance.

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • 'CHANGE' event not triggering for BTE 2214 on park/change from FBV1/FBV2

    I have designed a workflow template for FI parking. If the parked document is rejected, i need to trigger FIPP 'CHANGE' event for sending workitem to approver when someone changes the parked document. In SWEL event trace, the 'CHANGE' event is not getting raised.
    So i implemented a BTE 000002214 and now i am able to raise 'CHANGE' event and capture it in workflow. But this is only working when i park a document using FV50 transaction and later change it.
    But when i park a document using FBV1 and then make changes from FBV2, the 'CHANGE' event is not being triggered in SWEL. Should i implement some other BTE like 2218 etc? Can you please help?

    Hi Gokul,
    You can try handling the SAVE event instead of the CHANGED event.
    T-code FBV2 will not allow you to save the document unless you make some changes.
    Try implementing BTE 2218 and revert.
    Thanks,
    Sreekanth

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    i changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4
