Portal Date format

Is there a way where we can control the date format from the portal which when change will take effect of webdynpro java applications deployed?
Scenario: We have webdynpro java applications deployed on the portal. Data are coming from r/3 which include date. NOw what we need is central control on date format.
on webdynpro we can manually set the date format, or it can be dependent to the date settings of the jco user being used.
but how can we set it automatically from the portal? is it possible?

Hi
It is possible , i would suggest you to go through SAP note : 947081. It should help you.

Date format in ESS

Hi Portal Gurus
I have a requirement of changing the portal date format in ESS screens and other km documents modified date. Now it is in mm/dd/yyyy format and should be in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
already in su01 user-profile date format is in dd/mm/yyyy
Thanks
Prasad

The date format is calculated using country and language settings.
Check SAP Notes 947081 and 1164528 which deal with this topic.
If you use an R/3 based store (UME User Management Engine) in the backend system to keep your user data please ensure that you have not only maintained the language setting but also the country setting. Both in combination determine the NetWeaver Web Dynpro locale and in consequence the calendar date format that is used, e.g. DD/MM/YYYY for Australian English and MM/DD/YYYY for USA English.
Thanks,
Shanti

Changing Date format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

Hello all,
          We have upgraded our portal system from EP 6.0 to EP 7.0 . Before upgrade the portal date format was in DD/MM/YYYY format but after upgrade it has changed to MM/DD/YYYY.
          We changed the request.mandatoryCountry and Request.mandatoryLanguage parameters as GB and EN respectively .
After this change the standard portal iview start showing date in DD/MM/YYYY format but custom web dynpro applications are still displaying date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
        Please suggest how can we change the date format for custom dynpro applications too.
Regards,
Ganesh

Ganesh,
You might find [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm] link helpful in understanding how the locale is determined for a user who logs into the portal.
Similar discussions are on the following threads
1 - date format
2 - internationalization problem - default language of wd in portal
A snippet from the above thread,
1) Language indicator of the user (Example: Language not set in portal)
2) Language preference of the browser (Example: fr - Resource doesn't exists)
3) Language indicator of the Web Dynpro Application
4) Language preference of the system
5) Language preference of the JVM
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!!!

Date Format in Portal Report

Hi,
I have created a SQL Report with following select statement. Looks like portal has default format mask for date type as 'DD-MM-YY'.
If I put DD-MM-YYYY or DD-MM-RRRR in Format Mask field in Column Formatting screen, the reports generates 04-10-0002 . It should
be 04-10-2002.
select process_id, last_update_date
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
I tried to use the to_char function as following. But it errors ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error. Even though it works fine in
my sqlplus session.
select process_id, to_char(last_update_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY')
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using? The error with to_char comes in 30984. This is a bug. The bug no is 2567445. A one-off has been issued. Please look in metalink for it. And for the date formatting in the column formatting section the formatting should work fine. Please check the data in your table.
Thanks,

How to Change Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User

Hi,
In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.
Please help.
Thanks,

Date format becomes incorrect when you run check option on portal

Hi,
We have a report which has Date variable in selection screen. When we enter selection as interval and then when we click on Check option before executing the report, the date format becomes garbage.
Here is an example:
This is what I enter in Date variable :
Date : 01/01/2001-01/01/2010
After that when I click on CHECK option, the system automatically converts the first date into garbage value i.e. 01/01/2001 will be converted to 1//20/01/0
This only happens when we run report in Portal 7.0 When we try to run similar report using default web template of BW 3.5, it works fine.
Has anybody faced similar problem ? We are on Portal Java SP13 with Patch 6.
Thanks,
Parin Gandhi.

Thanks Frank for a quick reply.
I have used the SimpleDateFormat for formatting with the pattern as, "MM/dd/yyyy" and it is working fine if user enters 4 digit year.
However, for a entry with 2 digits for a year e.g. 04/10/07 when i parse the date using SimpleDateFormat,it is giving me date as 04/10/0007.
Is there a way by means of which i could force the user to enter 4 digits for the year?
I have tried using dateStyle attribute of <af:convertDateTime> tag with 'shortish' as its value, it converts a 2 digit year into 4digit on the browser side & displays on the screen e.g. if user enters 04/10/07 it will appear as 04/10/2007 on the screen however, in value change listener method, i could see date as 04/10/0007.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Portal Language/Date Format

Hi,
Portal Version: 10.1.4
Currently our default Portal language is us and the date format dd-mon-yyyy. Since this not a very common format here page publishers are having difficulties at times to enter the correct date and I would like to change it to dd/mm/yyyy. If I install a different language by running the ptllang script, will I get a different date format too?
Regards
B.

According to Oracle documentation this can be changed @ sesion level by the following :
Alter session set nls_date_format='mm/dd/yyyy';
======================================================
To change it @ the instance level, the following needs to be added in the init.ora file :
Nls_date_format="mm/dd/yyyy".

Portal global date format

Our was/ep is set to US date format MM.DD.YY, and I would like to change it globally to EU/London format DD.MM.YYYY.
I tried to look for parameter setting on JVM/Configtool, and could not find the parameter.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I manage to found the path mentioned in the note: 816761. The actual path is under:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Property Metadata -> Properties.
My version is EP7/NW04S SPS08
However, I have 2 question here:
1. How and what parameters to set under the properties??
2. I tried to change the user profile in my EP but the option is grey off. Reason is because I am using my Backend SAP as the UME source and hence this option is not changable in EP. But I have tried all means and not able to change in SAP. Any advise?
I have do a test by creating a new ID in Portal, ie the user is store in the Java UME database. In this scenario, I will be able to change the user profile to English_UK and this will solve the data format problem to DD/MM/YYYY. But I can't use this method as the requirement is to have UME reference to my backend SAP system.
Any advise from the experts here?
Many thanks in advance.
