setting date format to DD.MM.YYYY

[Former Member]

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.

Hello James,

You can try to set -Duser.timezone property to the servers java properties using the configtool.

Hi,

Check this weblog on timezones, etc.

Vyara,

I only find the Timezone.Properties on OfflineCofigTool.

configuration Editor --> Cluster_data --> Server --> Persistent --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service ->

timezone.properties

They only display the different timezones, but not the -Duser.timezone.

Can you clarify?

Thanks.

Hello James,

What I meant was to add -Duser.timezone=<your timezone> to the Java parameters of every server node in the config tool (not offlineconfig tool). It will change the time zone for the whole J2EE and it will affect all applications.

Vyara,

Okay, but what is the format of the <your timezone> parameter? Would it be DD.MM.YYYY (which I want), or would it be set to = Europe/London (which is for UK).

-Duser.timezone= Europe/London? or UK?

Thanks again.

Hello James,

I think -Duser.timezone=Europe/London is the correct setting.

I hope it will help.

Hi,

I need to do the same setup in my portal, but I'm not been able to find the place where to add the

Hello Paulo,

You can add this to the Java Parameters of all server nodes using the configtool. It was written earlier in this topic.
