Need Solution/Workaround for Note 947081: SG dates in MMDDYYYY

We are implementing ESS for Singapore. Dates are being shown in MMDDYYYY format - we need DD.MM.YYYY, which is the Singapore standard.
Our large user base all have language EN, country SG.
With reference to Note 947081, dated 07.09.2006, I'd like to enquire if there is a solution or workaround to the limitation given in the Note:
"Known Limitations
10. Calendar date formatting for Singapore
The calendar date formatting for the locale "en_SG" Singapore is MM/DD/YYYY similar to the US American date format.
This is a feature of the SUN Java JVM. It is not possible, by means of
SAP NetWeaver, to change this behaviour."
SAP informs us there is no update from them overcoming this problem.
Changing the user master for the entire user base is not feasible.
System details: We are running on Unix Server, Java from IBM.
Inconsistencies: Any MESSAGES containing dates from R/3 come in DD.MM.YYYY
From the ESS portal some links point to ITS sub-screens - which are in DD.MM.YYYY

Hi Chopper,
How to change the standard behavior internally...?
Thanks in advance.

    Is anyone  as frustrated as i am...just bought a brand new 13" powerbook to find  that I can't load my adobe creative suite 2.3 software using the lion os! I need solutions  that do not involve spending more $$$$ one the newest CS version. After googling problem, I find I am not the only one. Apple told me Creative Suite 3 would work, but others said no.  Version 5.5 seems to be most reliable. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    No, you're not the only person who failed to do any homework before making your purchase. You will have to upgrade your Adobe software at the very least. Before you post another complaint about what doesn't run see

  • Solution - Workaround for latest NIC's not loading

    hey all,
    have discovered (with the help of a friend) a workaround for getting new
    NIC's working with the ZENworks Imaging boot cd.
    have tried posting the solution to coolsolutions but nothing seems to be
    happening so thought i would post a message here.
    basically a method on manually loading the NIC module and allowing you
    to image up or down to a server.
    it's not a solution in my mind as you still require manual intervention
    but it will at least buy some time while you wait for a newer bootcd.iso
    to come out.
    process is a bit big for here, but please email me if you would like a
    look and i would be happy to email it through.
    and if it works for you, maybe leave a message to let others know if it
    was useful/not so useful.

  • Workaround for not being able to reference a multi-select field in a calculated field?

    Does anyone have a workaround for the fact that SP doesn't allow the use of a multi-select choice field to be used in a calculation in a calculated column?  I have a list that WAS a single choice in a Status field with three other calculated columns
    that were dependent upon that field.  Then I had to change the Status field to be to multi-select (checkboxes). Now of course my calculated columns don't work.  In addition, the end user can't fill them in either.
    I've got a Status field (multi-select), a Status Date field and Expiration Date field (calc).  The expiration date's calculation is shown below.   This worked great until I was asked
    to change the Status field to multi-select.<o:p></o:p>
    =IF(Status="NoI
    Review",DATE(YEAR([Status Date]),MONTH([Status Date]),DAY([Status
    Date])+21),"")<o:p></o:p>
    There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

    Hi run4it,
    Since SharePoint calculated column cannot reference the choice field with multiple-select value enabled, a workaround is to use workflow to copy the "Status" column value to another single line text column, then reference this single line text column in
    calculated column.
    Thanks,

  • Workaround for not having a static IP address? Just need to VPN into server

    I work from home, and so do my partners. I recently bought a mac mini server, so that we will have 1 central computer where all the projects are stored. Now with me being a mobileme user, I of course have access to it no matter where I go. But for my partners, I need to provide them with VPN access so they can get to/store files on the server.
    In order to do that, of course, I'm going to need a static IP address. Problem is, mediacom (worst service imaginable for ISP) won't provide a static IP address unless I upgrade to a business account. No thanks, dont feel like spending $80+ for only needing the static IP.
    So I guess my question is this: Is there a way to get around using a static IP address? Any 3rd party software solutions, online services, etc available to me? I consider myself a novice, as I'm being forced into the position of being the "expert" on this now.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Noah

    You need to use a dynamic DNS service. Check out http://www.dyndns.com for their free service. Others exist. Use Google and search for dynamic DNS. This will keep your host name in line with your changing IP address.
    Hope this helps

  • Need a method for importing Palm III data into a Palm Centro

    I just bought a Palm Centro (Verizon), with the expectation of importing data from my old Palm III.  From the Palm III Desktop, I exported Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos into separate folders (this was done on a Windows XP PC) and copied the resulting folders & files onto a flash drive.  But when I try to import these files into the Palm Centro desktop (on a new Mac Pro with OSX), the backup files are not in a "recognized format."  Does anyone have a process for reliably getting the Palm III data into the Palm Centro?  Also, is there an easy way to purge unwanted Contacts/Calendar events from the Palm Centro handheld?  With all the trial and error, its accumulating a lot of garbage.  Thanks...

    Click on the following link for the upgrade guide on kb.palm.com
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
    You will need to hard reset the Centro in order to clear out the Centro before sync'ing. Click on the following link for the hard reset procedure.

  • Absolute conditions - MIGO - workaround for note 304178

    Hello,
    does anybody know how to avoid the problem of note 304178?
    Pretty often we have POs with i. e. 20000 kg.
    Freight costs are defined as absolute conditions (fixed amount).
    When in MIGO only 18000 kg are posted, the delivery costs vary - even though they are defined as absolute.
    The carrier doesn't care about the variance, he bills the fixed amount.
    Note 304178 says, the problem is SAP standard.
    Do you know about a workaround or a programmed solution?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Portal Problem:  Workaround for NOT alphabetizing paramters in portal form?

    Hello all,
    In Portal, I am defining 6i reports. Portal has forms that pass these parameters to 6i reports but they keep showing up in alphabetical order. So, the rep_end_date is appearing before the rep_start_date.
    These are the steps:
    1. Go to Navigator
    2. Click on Administer
    3. Click on Display Portlet Repository
    4. Under Seeded Providers, Click Oracle Reports Security
    5. Click on Reports Definition File Access
    6. Click Create Reports Definition File Access
    7. Go through the steps until you get to OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
    Enter REP_START_DATE
    Enter REP_END_DATE
    8. When you are finished select done
    9. Click on Customize
    10. In the form you will see that the REP_END_DATE appears before the
    REP_START_DATE
    It is not logical for the users to enter the end date parameter first and then the start date second.
    I tried to work around it by changing rep_start_date to arep_start_date. This
    fixes the appearance on the form. Unfortunately this change causes the report
    not to work. The parameters used in the report 6i must match the parameters in
    portal exactly.
    I have been in contact with ORACLE with a TAR. They replied that I should ask you for any code that you might have or ideas.
    I have been brainstorming some ideas:
    1. Going into the report and renaming rep_start_date to something like
    raep_start_date. The advantage would be that it would fix the problem. The
    disadvantage is that we would have to go into every report and check for
    wherever that bind variable is named and change it. It would be tedious.
    2. Another option would be to create a form using form builder for each
    report. This also would be tedious and would require the forms server to be
    configured. We aren't sure whether a report being called from a form would
    process faster than just a report being called from portal or not. We are not
    as experienced in using form builder, however we have successfully created one.
    The advantage would be that it would solve the problem. The disadvantages is
    that it might be more time consuming.
    3. I suppose yet another option would be to create a html page as a portlet
    and then pass the parameters to the report that way. This would be where
    coding would come into play. I have been researching this option but I think
    that we would have to hard code the specific paramters used for each of the
    100s of reports. There might be a LOV issue with this one.
    4. Final option is to hope that one of the portal developers would have code
    that would easily fix this problem on OTN.
    I look forward to any information that you could provide.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Lindsay

    An alternative, maybe simpler, is to join together the exported segments using Quicktime Player.  Importing into iMovie again might result in degradation of video quality.

  • Best workaround for querying across multiple Data Sets?!

    Hi folks
    Today I was migrating my older OEID 3.0 applications to 3.1, and I noticed some of my older version views are not working anymore in new version.
    We used to have multiple Bulk Add/Replace (without specifying Collection Keys) and we could use any attributes from any of these, in a certain View for example.
    My views were like SELECT SUM("an attribute/metric from Bulk Add_1") / SUM("an attribute/metric from Bulk Add_2")
    Now that you have to specify a FROM clause in your views, and it has to be from a certain Data Set, whats the best way to achieve above line goal?
    Bests,

  • Need a FM for gettng starting & ending date based on the settlement period

    Hi,
    I have to filter a database table based on the settlement period( IDENT3 ) and the field available is of date field. Can anyone give me a function module by which can calculate the starting date and ending date by providing the settlement period ( eg. AM- Monthly, AQ- Quarterly, AJ- Annually,  etc ) and date.
    Thanx in advance.
    Regards,
    Sumanth.

    Hi Sumanth,
    Please use the function module 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE' to get the start date and end date for the particular factory calender.
    For end date:
    CORRECT_OPTION                  +
    DATE                                       sy-datum
    FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID        Aq(quaterly)
    For start date:
    CORRECT_OPTION                  -
    DATE                                       sy-datum
    FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID        Aq(quaterly)
    According to sy-datum, it will calculate the Extreme  interval .
    Thanx,

    Dear Swarnava,
    Yes, VLC 2.0.0 is installed. And so is the browser plug-in 1.0.5, which hasn't been updated for a long time. That's why I'm wondering why Firefox 'thinks' there's a new version of that particular plug-in available.
