Hi,
How can we change the date and time format displayed on some of the ESS services like addresses, LR screen? Currently I see US format date MM/DD/YYYY and time is in european format 12,50 instead of dot(.).
I tried changing the browser setting to UK but it didn't work. Any other suggestion please?
Thanks

What is
IE Settings language as
Personalisation of the user, WHich language is set?

SU01 default tab has correct date format and time zone.
I checked and there is nothing at the iView properties to set the date and time settings.
User, portal and ECC systems are all located in the same region.
In the portal personalise for a user, I see in the general information tab the language is "EN", when I try to change it to English(united kingdom), I get error that I cannot change due to security error. I'll check with security team to see if I can change this and get it working. But however, I want to change it at global level at at user level.
IE setting are set to UK english from US english, but no luck.
I have checked at one of the ESS DC that I'm customising there is a property file with JCo connection details, one of the attribute "master language" is set to "en", but again I don't think we have to go to this level to change at DC level for date formatting. Please let me know.
Thanks

I tried to create a simple WD application with just date control UI element, I can see the date format is displayed based on my browser setting. If I change it to US in my browser locale, it date format changes to US date format, if I change it to UK locale the date format is UK based.
Only my ESS/MSS applications are always displayed as US format. I checked at the iView level and I can only see ForcedRequestLanguage but I cannot see ForcedRequestCountry property so I'm unable to set any country specific details here. When I look at the JCo connection language tab, I see the
Current locale: en
Default VM locale: en_US
I think this is where change is required. However I changed following JCo languages from en to en_UK but still no luck
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
Backend is checked as posted above.
I checked below which is the second precendence in determining locale
Portal mandatory locale -- open file prtDefault.properties on server under
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC#/j2ee/cluster/server#/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/system/properties/
I cannot find below mandatory parameters in the prtDefault.properties file
request.mandatorylanguage
request.mandatorycountry
However, I found this
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Is this something I can change? Or should I replace or should I add mandatoryLanguage/country?
Can this file be edited through NWA or should this file be edited manually at the file system level?
Please advice.
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Praveen
Glad to hear you resolved the issue
I was looking at any potential ESS and MSS application or configuration related reasons for the issue
It looks like the problem needed more knowledge of Enterprise Portal technology platform
Best wishes

Hi Praveen
In SU01 does the user associated with this employee have the correct date format settings
Can you also check the iview properties to see if there is any setting which might force this date and time setting
Where is the user located, where is the Portal server and ECC system located? - are the system times and locales for all three systems correct?
Best regards
Stuart

Thanks. I found that in the JCo connection for all ESS applications under language it's "en" and it's not country specific. How do I change this?
I have changed my browser language settings from en_us to en_uk but no effect for calendar date format.
Please let me know how can I change the JCo connection language setting from en to en_uk?
I have followed the note that Siddharth mentioned and also found that resource bundle for en_uk is available.
Thanks

Please have a look at the Note 947081, Now on a broader level
this can be achieved by the Note mentioned above.
The decimal separators, comma and decimal point are dependent on the
locale of the browser(i.e user logon language).
If the logon language is English then the separator is decimal point. So
if you enter 3.5 then it will remain as 3.5 itself.
if you enter 3,5 then it will be converted to 35.
If the logon language is German then the separator is comma. So
if you enter 3,5 then it will remain as 3,5 itself.
if you enter 3.5 then it will be converted to 35.
So the conclusion is the decimal separator is dependent on the locale of
the browser.
