Date, Time, and Number Formatting

Date and time values are formatted in the invariant culture. This allows for a predictable response and action can be taken to re-format the result, if desired.

Formatting of number property data values in the Oracle Data Relationship Management user interface is determined by two factors:

  • The language setting of the Data Relationship Management client computer's browser

  • The Regional Options settings defined for the Data Relationship Management service logon account on the Data Relationship Management application server computer.

The Data Relationship Management Web Client session information includes the user's culture as defined in the browser's language setting. The data value formatting displayed at the client for the requested culture is determined by how the corresponding culture formatting is defined on the Data Relationship Management server for the Regional Options of the DRM service logon account. The client operating system's Regional Options settings do not affect data formatting in the user interface.

Similarly, the Data Relationship Management Batch Client parameter "/CultureName" allows you to specify the culture format as you would via the browser language. And as with the Web client, the data value formatting is determined by how the corresponding culture is defined on the Data Relationship Management server for the Data Relationship Management service logon account.

Note:

The default logon account for the Data Relationship Management Server Processes service is "Local System". To view or customize the Regional Options used by Data Relationship Management, the Data Relationship Management service logon account should be changed from Local System to a local Administrator account. This enables you to log onto the server as the service account and view or modify the Regional Options that the Data Relationship Management service uses.
