Adapt date format to British English language area

You can display the date in the British English format day/month/year. By default, the date is displayed in the American English format month/day/year.

The required files are available from version 9.9 after installation. After installation, the directory
<installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\i18n contains (for Unix, accordingly) subdirectories with locale (for example, en or us), each of which contains a file named ppmdate.jar. This file contains the localization of the respective language version.

Procedure

  1. If required, stop all infrastructure and PPM components.

    To do so, go to the Windows Start menu, open the program group ARIS > PPM 10.4 > Stop Servers, and click Stop ARIS PPM Core 10.4.

  2. Replace the file ppmdate.jar with the file with the same name from the directory <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<Version>-runnable.zip\ppm\i18n\en in these directories:
    1. <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<Version>-runnable.zip\ppm\lib\
    2. <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-web-run-prod-<Version>-runnable.zip\ppm\web\clientjars\
    3. <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-web-run-prod-<Version>-runnable.zip\ppm\webservices\automation\WEB-INF\lib

      To restore the American English date format, copy the file ppmdate.jar located in the directory <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<Version>-runnable.zip\ppm\i18n\us to the directories listed above.

  3. Start all infrastructure and PPM components again.

    To do so, go to the Windows Start menu, open the program group ARIS > PPM 10.4 > Start Servers, and click Start ARIS PPM Core 10.4.

  4. Start the relevant PPM client.

    To do so, go to the Windows Start menu, open the program group ARIS > PPM 10.4 > Start Servers > Start ARIS PPM instances, and click Start <client>.

The date is displayed in British English format.

Extractors

The same procedure is applied for extractors. The directory with the localized files is <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\<extraktor>\i18n with the subdirectories \en and \us. Copy the required file ppmdate*.jar to <installation directory>\ppm\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<installation_time>_ppm-client-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\lib\ext and replace the existing file.
