Synchronizing Locale-Sensitive Parameters
For the Reports Server to format reports based on user-specified locale, the locale definitions in localemap.xml file should match the equivalent parameters in the Siebel Application Object Manager.
When deploying the Siebel Reports Server in a different locale, changes are sometimes needed in how numbers and currencies are read. This is the case for the ITA (Italian) locale.
For example, a customer is deploying Siebel eBusiness Applications in Italy. The Siebel Server and the Reports Server machines are running under the ITA locale. The Siebel application uses the same thousands and decimal separators for numbers and currency (a comma for thousands and a dot for decimals). However, at the operating system level, the separators appear to be different.
The reports server administrator needs to modify the thousand and decimal separators for digits and currency (in the ITA locale) on the Reports Server machine to be in sync with the sThousand and sDecimal parameters defined for the Italian Application Object Manager. For example, sThousand and sDecimal parameters are set to dot and comma respectively. The digits grouping symbol and decimal symbol properties for both numbers and currency in the Windows Regional Settings of the Report Server should also be dot and comma.
In Siebel applications, currency and number data formats are decided in part by sDecimal and sThousand
parameters. In Windows, currency and numbers have their own set of properties that allow users to customize the formats separately. The decimal symbol and digits grouping symbol for both currency and number in the Windows Regional Settings of the Report Server should be identical to those of sDecimal and sThousand parameters in the Application Object Manager.
Verify that the locale-specific parameters in Regional Settings match the corresponding parameters in the Application Object Manager. See Table 4 for a list of these parameters.
