Language and settings (date format, °Celsius, metric ...)

Hello, again!
Since I apt-getted my debian again to dependencies-death, I decided to give arch a new try. As I am not trying to have nvidia, xfree, kernel26 etc on the system in one step, I am surprised to have xfree and gnome with gdm, while listening to keith jarrets cologne concert via totem just after an hour I started to install arch. Well.
What I really miss is some user-locales-wand. Where does arch read language and locale settings?
In debian, this stuff was placed in /etc/environment. Does arch behave the same way?
Since this is fixed on my machine, I feel lucky to have things like feet ore 39°F in the weather report.

For system wide settings, you can add a script in /etc/profile.d:
# cat /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
LC_ALL=XXX
LANG=XXX
LC_MESSAGES=XXX
export LC_ALL LANG LC_MESSAGES

En-CA Language has incorrect Date Format in SSRS report

When I set the Language on a Report to "en-CA", then dates are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.
This differs from the OS default format of yyyy-mm-dd for en-CA.
Is there any way to tweak the date format for a specific Language in SSRS?
Please don't say I need to add Format() calls to all of the dates in the reports... What I want to do is just give SSRS the correct date format for "en-CA" and let it do the work of formatting automatically.

Hi Andy,
In Reporting Services, by default, formats for date are 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. This language is determined by the regional
settings of the computer.
Generally, the report server language supports for all ten of the SQL Server languages. But the en-CA language is not supported by SQL Server. In this way, the report server uses the mostly closely matched language of the operating system as the language.
For example, the operating system is Canada English. Because Canada English and U.S. English are in the same language family, it chooses the SQL Server language resource that most closely matches Canada English (in this case U.S. English). So the date format
uses en-US format.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

Regarding TO_DATE function and Default Date Format DD-MON-YY

I am using oracle 10.2 version. As far as my knowledge default date format is 'DD-MON-YY'. I want to know that why first query is not giving result.
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 where sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
no rows selected
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 where to_date(to_char(sysdate),'DD-MON-YY') = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
SYSDATE
06-JUL-11
Thanks,
Rohit

A date in Oracle always contains hours, minutes and seconds. These values can optionally all evaluate to zeroes, at midnight.
TO_DATE('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') means midnight of the sixth of july 2011.
So
sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') only at midnight of the sixth of july 2011...
While during the day, after midnight,
trunc(sysdate) = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')and
sysdate > to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')Max

Weekdays appearing as numbers and odd date format

Hi
I really hope someone can help me. Weekdays have started showing as numbers, e.g. "Wednesday" shows as "4", "Sunday" as a "1". This happens in the menu bar, iCal, EyeTV. In fact, anywhere that is supposed to show a weekday. Also, the date format has changed from "12 December 2007" to "2007 12 12".
My partner has an account and her weekdays and date format are normal. I've also set up a new account and it is also normal.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?
Many thanks

Go to the International pane in System Preferences. Click on the "Formats" tab. Make sure the date formats are correct there.

In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance. This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work. However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer. We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
Thank you

Hi there! Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you. I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences. After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers. If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
Take care

Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

Hi, All
I have question about how to get dataset from web services
and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
I have no problem to get data by
<mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
/>
And display in datagrid.
But when I try to use
public function
handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
2, how to convert data format
I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
structure, as mention below:
I get:
<Array>
<id>111</id>
<Name>Production1</Name>
</Array>
<Array>
<id>222</id>
<Name>Production2</Name>
</Array>
Convert to:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node>
<node label="Production1" data="111">
<node label="Production2" data="222"/>
</node>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
Please help me.
Thanks.

First, don't specify the package path in the argument
declaration. Instead import the event object:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
The docs state this emphatically.
Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
for the event object, but maybe not.
Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
you wish.

Day and Month date format - Calculating a measure only for the last day date format

Good evening all,
I'm really struggling with a MDX query and so would greatly appreciate your help ..
Here is a simplified representation of my data:

And here is the MDX result I’m trying to get:
Tenor

VarY
10-Jan-14
30

10
90
Feb-14

Mar-14
10
0
Apr-14
10
0
Where: if tenor is the last tenor in day format (i.e. dd-mmm-yy) VarY = total sum of VarX else VarY = 0
Here is a first try below which hopefully will help you understand my problem.
MEMBER [Measures].[VarY] AS
IIF (
ISEMPTY([Measures].[VarX])
OR vbamdx!Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.Name) <= 6
OR TAIL(
FILTER(
{[Tenor].[ALL].CHILDREN},
NOT (ISEMPTY([Measures].[VarX])) AND vbamdx!Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.Name) > 6
).ITEM(0).Name <> [Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
NULL,
SUM ( [Tenor Group].[Tenor Group].[all], [Measures].[Delta] ) )
Please let me know if you have any ideas and/or advice.
Thanks in advance! Kevin

Hey Aleksandr
Tenor is a string. The tenor table is used by other reports too and contains tenors in day, month, etc format (e.g. 01-Jan-14, 02-Jan-14, 03-Jan-14, ..., Jan-14, Feb-14, ...).
This is why I was trying to differentiate the 2 "groups" of tenor using length.
Something like:
MEMBER [MEASURES].[MOUT] AS
iif(
isempty([Measures].[VarX]),
null,
iif(
(Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.NEXTMEMBER.Name) =
Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.Name)
null,
SUM ( [Tenor].[all], [Measures].[VarX])))

Language and Region Date Preferences not working

Date set up is for UK (day/month/year), whichever format I use for cells in Numbers, it's aways MM leading.
I tried everything on 2 separate machines and it's not working on both. What am I doing wrong ?

Mirage.za,
You could try using a Custom Format.
Also you could send Apple feedback about this if you want: https://www.apple.com/feedback/numbers.html
Hope that helps,

Inserting multiple records in JSP and setting date format

Hi,
I'm looking at the possibilities for using JSP's as a web application.
I've got a few questions about it:
1) Is it possible to insert multiple records in the detail block of my JSP. Normally when I click the 'insert button', an insert JSP comes up, which is a html form with the possiblity of inserting only one record.
2) Is it possible to change the format of a date field. Now a date field is displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'. My nls_date_format is something else.
3) I can't get the static combo box working for the class EditCurrentRecord. The normal use combo box is no problem. Probably, I don't have the syntax correct. Could anyone provide an example for this.

2) Just use the Calendar object. You can format the date any way you want. I am assuming that you are talking about how the date appears after a .toString() call.
Here is how I do it (this code will probably look very bad I am trying to type into a very small space so bear with me):
public static String traceDate(java.sql.Timestamp dt)
try
if (dt == null)
return " ";
else
Calendar clFmt = Calendar.getInstance();
clFmt.setTime(dt);
return
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" +
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) + "/" +
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.YEAR)) + " " +
String.valueOf( (clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) == 0) ? 12 : clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) ) + ":" +
padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MINUTE)),2) + ":" +
padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.SECOND)),2) + " " +
(clFmt.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM ? "AM" : "PM");
catch (Exception e)
throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage());
(padLt is a custom function that just pads 0s to the left of the number)

Save and Export Data format issue/question

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with what is probably a super-simple question. I have a group of people that will use some forms. They will all have Acrobat Pro so they can save and update the data in the forms.
Here's my issue. I've tried binding both a sample XML as well as an XSD with the same results.
1.) If I save the interactive PDF containing the data connection, users can type the information in the form, but fields that are "info only" and not bound to a particular node go away. The file does generate the correct XML.
2.) If I delete the data connection (but keep the bindings), all the data stays in the form, but now my XML tags are intermixed with my fields and subforms and the xml looks pretty useless.
So, here's my question, given that users will use Acro Pro 7, how can I ensure that all data stays in the form on save and writes out xml ignoring fields that are not bound to any nodes in the xml.
Thanks for your help!

Answer to number 1: Just not a supported option at this time. Wait for some SDK Apps to come out maybe someone will create something that can do translation or something along those lines. No one really knows till developers start releasing Apps and seeing what can be done.
Answer to number 2: Currently there is no 3G Support and currently unknown when and if there will be 3G Support. It mean technically it means making another iPhone. And 3G is not as available in mass networks like EDGE is right now.
Answer to number 3: Currently iPhone is only available on the select networks we have deals with and no other providers at this time. If you by chance got one of the Unlocked iPhones then perhaps it may work with another provider. But our fellow friends in Germany, France, and U.K. could probably answer that better then I could.

Hello Adlyd,
SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise. I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this. Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page. It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible. In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.
You can also purchase technical support from the [Online Store|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300].
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

1218598 - Support policy on customizing BusinessObjects InfoView and other applications
Symptom
In previous versions of Business Objects products, Business Objects Customer Support had assisted customers with the customization of the ePortfolio and InfoView applications by providing guidance on what changes were required for simple and specific custom features.
What is the support policy for customizing BusinessObjects XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 InfoView and the other included applications?
Resolution
Starting with BusinessObjects XI, code-level customization of InfoView and the other applications included with BusinessObjects XI is not supported and not recommended. These applications include Crystal Reports Explorer and the Central Management Console.
InfoView is a fully-featured product and can be customized by changing settings in the Central Management Console or by changing values in the application configuration files only.
Requests for custom features in InfoView or any other included applications will be treated either as enhancement requests, or in extreme cases, as product defects. Any feature that does not function as documented will be treated as a product defect.
Custom features may also be implemented as part of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement, or by engaging Business Objects Consulting Services.
