Regional settings in Cloud Deployment

How can I set regional settings (e.g., date format) for either individual users or a complete Workspace? The particular app in question here is Excel - need to change date and currency format from US to UK.

Hi,
If you are running a Cloud Deployment in which you deployed own image you could obviously, prior to uploading the image to Azure, make the necessary changes within the image to allow those to reflect to new users as part of the default profile. If you want
to allow users to specify their own regional settings you could publish the Control Panel for them as follows
For example here the Control Panel Regional Settings applet running as a Azure RemoteApp.

Regional settings & OC4J

I have a JSP+Servlets application that uses Oracle iFS to gather information from different sources. The application is deployed with OC4J on Win2k advanced addition.
Every few days the OC4J starts to use a differnt regional settings - all its logs are using a different date+time formats and the main problem is that allt the hebrew strings transformed into question marks.
The only way I managed to solve the problem so far is to reboot the machine.
Does anyone familiar whith a better solution ?

Problems with the system decimal point with german regional settings

I have a Labview 6 app that needs deploying to Germany.
My app sends strings over VISA RS232 and GPIB instruments with floating point numbers.
When changing from English to German regional settings, in Windows XP, periods are now interpreted as commas and the app starts truncating my decimal numbers. So in the English Regional Setting when I send 1.234 I get 1.234 but in the German Regional Settings when I send 1.234 I get 1.000.
I have turned off the "Use localized decimal point" in Tools - Options - Front Panel as well as set any function (Frac/Exp String to Number) that has a "Use System Decimal Point" connector to FALSE.
Now here's my problem....
This fixed the issue I was having as long as I am in the development environment, however, once I build the application I still get the truncated numbers. Example: I send 1.234 to an instrument and it sees 1.000.
Again this works fine in the development enviroment, sending 1.234 reads 1.234 with German regional settings.
Any help is appreciated.

You can use a simple function of the "Scan from string" function.
Place "%.;" (Without the quotes) in the scanning string, and this will tell LV to use a decimal point for interpretation. If you place "%,;", this will tell it to use a comma.
You can place this at the beginning of your format string, and it simply tells the parser how to work, it doesn't otherwise produce an output.
Using simply "%;" sets the seperator to the system default (maybe the best idea after the code has been run as the changed decimal point character apparently remains changed otherwise). From the LV help
The following codes control the decimal separator used for numeric output. These codes do not cause any input or output to occur. They change the decimal separator for all further inputs/outputs until the next %; is found.
%,; comma decimal separator
%.; period decimal separator
%; system default separator
Hope this helps

Problem with Batch Loader and FDM user regional settings

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1.
When I use the English regional settings for my FDM user account, I can do Export Excel from FDM, but Batch Loader doesn't work (Error : "one or more parallel processes failed to start).
When I use the French regional settings for my FDM user account, Export to Excel doesn't work anymore (Error: Conversion from string "12.0" to type 'Long' is not valid. Detail: InnerException1: Input string was not in a correct format.), but the Batch loader is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Mittal,
By default, formats for date is 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. So the formats for date is determined by the language of the
operating system on which the report server is installed.
When you deploy the report to SharePoint site that the regional setting is set to English (Australia), please also set the report language to ‘en-AU’. Then the date format can be also changes to English (Australia).
If the issue is still exited, could you please tell us the date format of date parameters and the field? If possible, please post the screenshot about this, then we can make further analysis.

How to modify regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 working?

When I modify the regional settings on my W7 PC (i.e. switching the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol from dot to comma and vice-versa), I cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer nor can I convert Office documents to PDF files anymore. It seem like the joboptions files were getting corrupted (I can see read errors).
Can anyone advise on how to modify the regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 Pro working properly? Do I have to adopt the joboptions files (and if yes, how?)?
Thank you for your advice!

The defaults for three are blank entries. That is there are no defaults, The only way to get those back to being blank would be to delete your preferences file ( Home->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Aperture,plist ) and possibly the files in *Home->Library->Program Support->Aperture* (but I don't think you would need to do these, not sure.)
However before you do this you should know there is no drawback to having these entries filled in. Aperture would only attempt to use them if you actually selected them while using Aperture. It won't be looking for them on startup. And if the programs pointed to by these entries no longer exist on your system Aperture won't even fill in the names in the menu items where these are pointed to ( *Photos->Edit with* for example)

Changing regional settings in CS6/Acrobat X Pro

Hello,
I have just installed CS6 and would like to change the regional settings from USA to European A4.
The following test has been done:
Created customised A4 job options for each of: Standard Quality, High Quality, Press Quality
Then edited preference for Conversion from Microsoft Word to PDF using new job option 'Standard Quality A4'
PDF created is still in Letter sizing after rebooting machine.
Note: the original Microsoft Word file has a page setup of A4.
What is the best way to make wholesale changes across Adobe CS6 so that millimetres/A4 settings are the default ?
Thank you.

Hi Cre8tiveNess,
You need to set the same preferences in Control Panel > Adobe PDF Printer > Printing preferences.

No data to refresh in BPC clients with Russian regional settings

Hello, colleagues
I hope to get some advices and information about saving data in BPC client computers with non-English regional settings (e.g., decimal point is set ","). Our BPC server has English regional settings.
BPC 7.0, SQL Server 2008. I created new Input Schedule by using standard EVDRE function. And data was not sent to SQL Server after clicking Send and Refresh, I got the message "No data to refresh". I examined hidden sheet EVDRE_DATACACHE and found cells in row A with cache data in XML format. After some experiments I found out that if all data values will be replaced with symbol "S" then all data in the sheet with EVDRE could be saved correctly. I don't know any other methods to make data with decimal point "," to be saved. Also I tried to change members of Measure (Periodic - YTD) but i got the same result.
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have the problem into server.
I think you have the regional settings wrong into server.
We have actually many customers using French, German, Dutch language having "," for decimal separator and it is working fine.
It is not working when actually the settings into the server are not English US.
Please check the follow keys from application server:
HKEY_USERS - .Default - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-18.. - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-19 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-20 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21........ ..- Control Panel - International
These keys should be sett all for english US. If it is at least one not correct that can cause problems with sending data.

Sorin Radulescu

T400, Backslash appearing as #, all the regional settings are correct though

hi
I have a T400 laptop, its regional settings are set for english (ireland) and i have also tried the Irish(ireland) settings, but for what ever reason, the Backslash, which is located just above the "enter" key, when pressed brings back the hash# symbol, when pressing shift, it brings back the ~ , and i cannot find the backslash, unless i use charmap.
any ideas on how to sort this issue??
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

just did some more diggin there, under the "Text services and input languages" i have set the "Default input language" as "English(United States)-United States-International.
this has sorted the problem
thanks for all the help and input.

PWA site template with warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings"

SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows message in yellow "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings."
KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749599/en-us suggests applying Windows and SharePoint updates, but does not points to a specific update. Also suggests to enable "Always follow
web settings" for affected users who are in different time zone than the server time zone, but it does not work either.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings".
Users are getting this message even after correctly specifying and changing the timezone in their Sharepoint Settings. This is a common problem across the net, but we've found a workaround
that will eliminate this problem.
Step 1: Open your Web Database in your Browser
Step 2: Click the Arrow Under the Login ID (upper right corner)
Step 3: Choose My Settings
Step 4: Click the My Regional Settings Link
Step 5: Uncheck the 'Always Follow Web Settings' check and specify your time zone.
Step 6: Click OK
For more information, you can refer to:

Regional Settings differences between 2008 and 2012

Hi There,
Can anyone explain why some of the regional setting details have changed with Win 2012?
Example: Dutch (Belgium) - nl-BE
The 'Digital Grouping Symbol' has changed from a DOT to a WHITESPACE.
2008 - €1.000,00 whereas 2012 - €1 000,00
If the settings are changed on the servers will they persist after OS updates etc?
Rgds,
Frank

Hi Vivian,
I see no reference in the KB article to modifications for the CET timezone nor any reference to the resolution of culture format info discrepancies.
A further issue is that the active regional settings on our PRD servers will be set to United States and it would appear that any modification to the Belgium locales (i.e. nl-BE, fr-BE) are not persisted once you switch to United States as the
active setting.
The knock on effect of this is that for our PRD web-applications (which are active across many regions), we have to write code to override the OS information. .NET uses the OS info to populate its Culture information.
Could you confirm if the differences between 2008 and 2012 are the result of a bug or are the changes planned? Based on communication with some of our customers in Belgium, they are of the opinion that the 2008 (and Win 2003) settings are per their expectations.
I really do not what to have to handle these situations across our application landscape and am sure that other people with globalized applications will also hit problems.

BOXI 3.0 - Strange behaviour in infoview regarding regional settings

Requirement: Currency to be shown in Brazil format (##.###,00)
We have a requirement where all financials in reports should be in a Brazil format (##.###,00).
As the report is built in Deski (.rpt) therefore u201CPreferred Viewing Localeu201D setting in infoview will not work (works only for .wdl- webi reports).
We followed below steps in Deski report to meet our requirement:
Tools -> options -> Language -> Unsupported Language -> Portuguese(Brazil)->checked the option u201Dmigration forcedu201D.
It worked perfectly when run in deski.We published the report in infoview but didnu2019t see any change in format, it was still showing us in English(US).For testing purpose we published the copy of same report and could see the changes. But after refreshing few times the formatting got disappeared.
Please help how to get the desired behavior in infoview.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pallavi

Hi Seb,
Thanks seb.
But the problem is we have reports for country UK,AUS,US ..etc as well in our repository.If we change the regional settings the format will change for these reports too.We want this format only for Brazil reports ..so this solution won't work in our case.
Why is Unsupported Language settings not working in infoview (we have applied this settings in Brazil reports only)...or is there anything that i have missed in settings?
Regards,
Pallavi

Regional settings is not effecting in SQL Server

Hi All,
I made changes to the regional and language (made decimal = ,) of the windows server 2008 R2 Standard but the database still not accepting comma as a decimal point.
Tried restarting the SQL Server services and restarted the server without luck.
Really appreciate inputs.
Thanks,
Ram.
Please don't forget to Marked as Answer if my post solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful. It will helpful to other users.

1. Right click on the server name.
2. Click on Facets.
3. Then select Server Configuration Facet.
4. Look for Default Language.
5. Set it to values as given in the below link:- For Ex: 1 for German
This changes the default language for new users. (And I don't think there is a need to restart of SQL Server, but I have not checked.)
To change the default language for an existing user, use ALTER USER.
But of course, the whole talk about language setting in SQL Server in this context is completely uselss. SQL Server only knows about decimal points. This applies both to literals in the code, and when interpreting strings with CAST/CONVERT.
Everyone is correct that that regional settings does not affect SQL Server - nor should it, it is a server after all.
One more point here when i try creating a filtering functionality on application it is creating decimal as "." not "," is this issue related to application or DB?
I have no idea what you are doing, but the answer is probably the application.

Java does not recognize my regional settings in xp

Hi,
I have set my windows xp Regional Settings for canada/french but I also have resetted the decimal point to a dot ('.') instead of the defaulted comma (,). My JVM does not seem to recognize these changes as it still shows my decimals with a comma.
Is there any way to change that behavior ?
lacou

In the past each major platform (Sun JDK, IBM JDK, Microsoft, HP, etc.) developed and maintained their own locale data, based on various input (could be ISO standards in some countries, or input from localization teams etc). Actually very difficult to create and maintain, since few countries have strict standards and users within countries disagree about what is "correct".
In recent years the Common Locale Data Repository (http://www.unicode.org/cldr/) has been established to create a common standard across platforms. ICU (http://icu.sourceforge.net/userguide/) now pulls locale data directly from the CLDR, one of the major reasons to use ICU4J.
With the work on CLDR some of the other platforms have worked on trying to align with the common standard, but there are still differences. You can find comparison charts here: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/main/index.html
