Hello Experts,
I'll explain my problem and what's the solution we're trying to implement.
We have BIP 4.1 SP3 and are using both universes and BW. BW has been upgraded from 7.0.1 to 7.4 and all of the old WAD needed to be replaced. We choosed to use Design Studio and the Generic analysis template.
We have encountered several problem during it, but the last and thougher one is the date format.
Before with the WAD on BW, the SU01 paramters were taken in account and the date was displayed with YYYY/MM/DD. Now with Design Studio on BIP, the CMC preference language and its associated ISO date format is taken in account.
Users are all using English US, which give us the format: m/D/YYYY which is a no go as it is a massive change for the massive population of BW. Unfortunately, none of the installed languages gives us buth the correct language and date format.
We do not have any problem with WEBI or other BO software as, most of the time, formulas can be used to adjust the format.
Do you know if it is possible to alter the BI Plateform date format associated to the different installed language pack ? We want to change it plateform wide and make sur all of the users will have exactly the same.
I looked into the different configuration files on BIP without finding something useful ... Any other Idea ?
PS : we're using crosstabs on DS and nothing can be done to alter format ...
Thank you in advance.
