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.

    Hi kristen,
    As far as i know SAP runs an agregated Script which will aggreate the data and store the Data.So the data which you see in the database can be one day old ( Need to check on this ) Refer to these
    Mysteries of the Portal Activity Report
    Mysteries of the Portal Activity Report II
    Mysteries of the Portal Activity Report III
    refer to these may be of some help.
    Thanx

  • Date format in Maintain capacity of iSupplier portal

    Hi,
    In Maintain capacity under planning tab of isupplier portal page, when we select a row and click on Maintain capacity,we get a detail page.In that page we r asked to specify the capacity/day for the given date range.This date field doesnot support the format dd-mon-yy/dd-mm-yy but takes date for eg 3-jul-02 but not 03-jul-02(or) 30-jul-02.
    kindly help.

    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

    Hi,
    The Date Format depends on the Browser Language and also the Language set to user in User Administration of Portal.
    Check the threads below:

  • Date format is not changing when I switch language (From English To French)

    Hi Guys,
      In our portal (NW04-EP6) application when I switch English to French,date format doesn't changed?
    Do you kow how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Maryam

    Hi Maryam,
    The langauage is set according to this priority:
    1) Language assigned to the user (in the portal)
    2) Browser's Language
    3) System's language
    4) JVM's Language
    Check your settings.

  • No English language setting with European date formatting available

    The English language setting in my iPod bought in Finland forces date format to the American MM/DD/YYYY style. There is no English language setting that would result in the European DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format.
    Either making date formatting separately configurable (as time formatting already is), or adding another English locale with European-style date formatting solves this problem.

    Yes I agree, date format should be language independant. This is very annoying!

  • 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,

  • In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

    For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

    You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

  • 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.

    Thank you for your understanding.

  • 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.
