Locale (date format) not working

In my preferences I set Language: English, Locale: Malta
and there it shows: Sample Date: 09 Sep 2013 16:28
But when reading the forum all (or most) dates and times are shown in 12 hour format: 2:44 PM. For example the post dates of messages.
Is this a bug? Or am I looking at the wrong setting?
For the record: I posted the above at 16:33 CET (14:33 UTC)

You are optimistic. They've already forgotten the lessons of Y2K. Or never learned it because they are too young to have been working then and think what they've heard of it was a hoax.

Date format not working in XML Publisher

Hi,
We have applied a date format while formatting the report layout using the Template.
The same is not getting reflected.
The output is as follows : 5/1/2006 0:0:0
i.e date with time stamp.
We require DD-Mon-RRRR format.
The same has been tried using the Text Form Field Options.
When applying the same for Number it works . But in case of Date it does not.
Can anybody who has worked on the same, let us know the appropriate way to do the same.
Thanks,
Angelica.

XMLP does not recognized the field as date. The only format recognized as date is
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
So, either make the data model to return dates in the above format, and then apply date formatting in XMLP, or do the job on the data model side and return the string in the desired final format (which, again, then will be string, not date for the XMLP)

select To_date('2/02/2012' ,'DD/MONTH/YYYY') from dual; (when i want to save to date column ) but the error is NOT VALID MONTHThe month format specified by you is MONTH but the value entered is 02, Oracle is expecting a month like 'FEBRUARY'

i try to get NLS_DATE_FORMAT in windows registery under oracle but not found i try to search for it in registery but not found. by using regedit in cmdNLS_DATE_FORMAT is a oracle parameter why are you looking in windows registery?
Query v$parameter to find the details of the parameter.

Default Date format not working. I'm confused

Where is it set to that? NLS_DATE_FORMAT can be set in various places .... OS environment, oracle session level, db initialization ....

"date format not recognised" in DBMS_SESSION, on page over db_link

Hi,
I have an Apex 4.0 page which has a region that gets data constituted from a connection across a database link.
The host database is 11.1.0.6 and the remote database is 9.0.1. (Both Standard Edition)
I am using EPG.
Intermittently, I receive the following error (having turned debugging on):
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:21:53 GMT
ORA-20867: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
ORA-02063: preceding line from CLIFF
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 157
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_LANG", line 387
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW", line 9284
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 267
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 294
ORA-06512: at line 30
I'm somewhat confused as to what is causing the generation of this error.
After receiving this error, anything I else that I do that involves building 'pages' works perfectly fine. I can login/out, no problems.
However, if I try and RUN any page within my application thereafter (all of these access local DB information apart the 1 that generates the error), I continue to receive exactly the same error - no matter which page I am trying to access.
Help?
- Tony.

Hi Patrick,
No. I haven't yet applied the patchset. May do that this afternoon now.
I don't believe I've manually set any date formats anywhere. Just entered the Builder with default options (apart from choosing a theme) and away I went!!
What surprises me is that the application has no problems viewing all the data. The functionality all seems fine. I had this working on a previous setup for months,. without any problems, using version 3.2. (This wasn't migrated though, this was a rebuild from scratch.)
From further "tests", the error seems to occur when I edit the page that involves the remote data.
Normally, a user would land on the page from having used a hyperlink column on a previous page's classic report region.
The point at which it all starts to go wrong is if I connect to the page as normal, but then EDIT the page, and then try and re-run it.
The problem with the date format then re-occurs repetitively, no matter which page I try and view. Sometimes pages will load some components, but then generate odd errors with others. e.g. I have a small series of 3 dial charts, all with slightly varying SQL series (same SQL, slightly different where clause). Now I am seeing that 1 may load and 2 may give odd flash errors...
Right now, I just tried to Export my application - and I still got given the date format error!! Sub-sequent retries allowed the operation to complete successfully.
The only way I seem to be able to eradicate the recurring errors is to kill all the currently connected ANONYMOUS users in the DB, and then relog to the application.

"Date formatting not supported yet"??

When I add imports to get around the problem described in my previous
email, I run into an exception that says "Date formatting not supported
yet". The exception is thrown in util/HtmlUtil.java. What's the
intention here? Why don't we just return the value unformatted? How
should I handle this so I can take advantage of the formatting if it is
supported someday? Are there any other formatting types which I need
to "handle" in order to run?

around during migration. The reason we don't just return the unformatted
value is that we didn't want to give the impression that date formatting
worked when it doesn't (yet).
If you just want the value to come through without an attempt at formatting,
the correct thing to do is to change your JSP tags to eliminate the date
formatting attributes. If this is a loss of data (the format masks), then
you should just comment them out rather than delete them.
The whole issue of date formatting is unfortunately complex. Suffice to say
that it is far easier for the developer to format the date as they wish in
their code then it is for us to try and provide generic date formatting.
The issue revolves around having all the necessary information in order to
do the formatting in a generic way.

ORA-01821: date format not recognized Error in PL/SQL report-4.0

Hi,
I am using Apex 4.0 and i have a Classic report(function returning query) which selects a date column.
The query runs at the backend and gives the output.
But when i run the report on the page, i get the error
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01821: date format not recognizedThe values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Everything seems to be right.
But I have no idea why this error occurs.
Thanks
Divya

Aren't these errors annoying! But there's a data / format mismatch for sure. What I need to see -- and what will tell you what is wrong -- is
1) exactly what the data is and
2) exactly what the format string is that is being used to convert it.
The values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Question: Is this the source data or the target data ( what it's supposed to look like after being converted)?
Let's start there:
What is the source? Is it a DB column? Is it type date or VARCHAR2 or what?
If VARCHAR2, then give us an example of the data that is failing.
What is the format -- I assume there is one -- being used to convert the data?
Are you doing a TO_CHAR or a TO_DATE?
Give us lots of detail, please. Then it should be easy to solve.

Howard

After upgrading ACS 3.3.1 to 4.2 on windows the local database is not working

Hi,
I have upgaded the ACS 3.3.1 for windows server to 4.2. Everything went fine but the local database is not working.
The CD is an upgrade kit from 3.x to 4.2 on windows. I tried to install directly the 4.2 I was able to install but integration with AD/LDAp is not working. Anysay its an upgrade kit so I cant expect it shoud work when install drectly the 4.2 but by upgrading from 3.3 to 4.2 everything should work fine.
I followed the upgradation path as recomended.
Also we have a requirment that once it is upgraded to 4.2 we need to shift the whole thing from the physical server to a virtual machine on VMware ESX server 3.5.
Can anybody pls guide me if anything else to do after the upgradation.
Thanks & Regards
Sachi

Hi Javier,
First of all I was facing a problem of restoring the old database of 3.3 to 4.2. Somehow I overcame that issue by following the below steps. Now local authentication is working fine but AD/other External database authentication is not working. As you told the setting for the unknown users are configured to fetch the credentials from the external database if it is not in the local database.
Do we need to do anything in the AD itself?
Regards
Sachi
Steps for ACS upgrade to 4.2 version
Below are the requested steps mentioned for the up gradation from ACS 3.3.2 to ACS 4.2.
        1)     Take a configuration backup from existing ACS. ACS--->System
configuration----> ACS Backup
2)    now if you have ACS 3.3.2 on server. take backup of the ACS
3)   Insert the cd or if you have the set up on the system then Run the setup of ACS 3.3.4. During the process it will prompt you to
upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 3.3.4 upgrade.
4)     Once you are at 3.3.4, take a backup and keep it handy.
5)     Run the setup of 4.1.1. During this process it will prompt you to
upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 4.1 upgrade.
6)Once you are at 4.1.1.24 take a backup and keep it handy.
7)     Run the setup of 4.2. During this process it will prompt you to
upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 4.2 upgrade.
8)     Once you are at 4.2 take a backup and keep it handy. Now run the
patch 12 and take a backup again.
9)     Now fresh install 4.2 on your new production server and install patch
12. Restore the 4.2 patch 12 backup and you should be all set.

Date format not recognized -- urgent help needed

Hi,
I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
I do have OWB installed which also has SQLPLUS installed so that there is no problem if I start it from C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin.
For some reason, the path is setting as C:\oracle\ora81\bin before C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin so the default always goes to 81 folder.
If restart the DB instance, and this problem is gone. But it comes back after some application running (our own application and Oracle provided OMBPlus ). We double check our own application, and there is no where to "alter session ...".
Any help will be very appreciatged,
Thanks,
Daming

I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
Do you have a file called 'login.sql' in the folder 'C:\oracle\ora81\bin'? If there is one, is there an 'alter session' command in this file?

Local Data AddressDoes not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces

I'm facing this error when I try to run the Applet from a client that download the applet and try to connect to de ip address of the origin.
When I run localy, there is no error!
Example: On 10.1.0.2, I browse 10.1.0.1/transmitapplet.html, and the error:Local Data AddressDoes not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces occurs.
On 10.1.0.1, I browse 10.1.0.1/transmitapplet.html and the applet run properly.
Anybody knows what is the problem?

Sorry, but I hadn't have this problem till last week. Then I tried out to run my Application as Applet...
The problem is, that a applet is not allowed to read the local IP-Address. I've solved this a little bit strange, by using a dummy SessionManager:
public String getLocalAddress() {
String result = null;
SessionAddress addr = null;
RTPSessionMgr mngrSession = (RTPSessionMgr) RTPManager.newInstance();
if (mngrSession != null) {
SessionAddress sessAddr = new SessionAddress();
// empty address will use standard IP
try {
mngrSession.initialize(sessAddr);
addr = mngrSession.getLocalSessionAddress();
catch (InvalidSessionAddressException e1) {}
if (addr != null) {
result = addr.getDataHostAddress();
mngrSession.closeSession();
mngrSession.dispose();
return result;
else return null;
This method does not support multiple IP-addresses.

The Restriction option to NOT ALLOW CHANGES to Mobile or Cellular data does not work why is this ?

The Restriction option to NOT ALLOW CHANGES to Mobile or Cellular data does not work why is this ?

Hi there,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Additionally, you may want to try completely disabling and re-enabling restrictions.

Umm I just got this iPhone 5 and cellular data is not working, can't access apps, heck can't even download any and Safari...ummm yeah not happening. I'm with Sprint if that makes any difference.

Umm I just got this iPhone 5 and cellular data is not working, can't access apps, heck can't even download any and Safari...ummm yeah not happening. I'm with Sprint if that makes any difference.

Are you in an area where there is no coverage?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't help, then yOu'll need to contact Sprint again.
