About the Locale Settings tool

To override these settings for the current session:

1. Select Tools > Locale Settings.
2. If desired, click  Settings   to review current locale settings.
3. Complete the panel.
4. Click  Update  .
5. Close the window.

Changes are effective immediately and remain in force until you log off or choose another locale.

Changing the locale with this tool affects use of Process Commander only. It does not update the locale established in your Internet Explorer or Windows setting.

Field	Description
Locale Settings
Base Currency	Optional. Identify a base currency using International Standards Organization codes, such as USD for United States dollars, UKB for British pounds or JPY for Japanese yen. The system stores this value in the pyBaseCurrency property on the requestor page, but does not otherwise use it. Ordinarily, Java JVMs compute a base currency code from the country code portion of the locale.
Use Locale	Optional. Select a locale description to be used for date, time, and number formats for the duration of this session, to override the locale defined in Windows. For example, when you choose English-(United Kingdom), Process Commander displays dates in the format 22 October 2003 15:20:31 EST. If you choose English-(United States), dates appear in the format October 22, 2003 3:20:31 P.M. EST. When you choose French-(France), numbers appear in the format 10.234,00. If you choose English-United States, numbers appear in the format 10,234.10. These date formats follow the Unicode CLDR 1.3 standard.
Use Time Zone	Optional. Identify a time zone by code, such as America/New York for Eastern U.S. time or GMT for coordinated universal time, formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time. The system stores this value in the pyUseTimeZone property on the requestor page. Daylight savings time rules are supplied by Java JDK vendors. In a multinode system, it is important that the same rules are installed on each node. For details of vendor JDK support of daylight savings time and downloads, consult one of the following links: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/dst/ http://java.sun.com/javase/tzupdater_README.html http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/TZupdater_license.html http://edocs.bea.com/jrockit/geninfo/diagnos/tzupdate.html

To change these settings permanently on your Windows workstation, use the Windows Start menu item Settings> Control Panel >Regional Options >General to set the workstation locale. Similarly, use the Windows DateTime control panel to review or set time zones.

An activity can change a user locale temporarily by calling the PublicAPI function setLocale(). For example, a multilingual worker might switch between English and Spanish rapidly, to match the speech of an incoming caller, by clicking a button on the Process Work workspace.

This lets your application implement a user selection of local (as production users do not ordinarily have access to the Locale Settings tool).

Click  Demo   to experiment with input and display values in the new setting. This opens a new window that demonstrates the effect of the locale setting on date and amounts.

Click  Submit   to open the form. Enter values and click  Compute  . For example, if you choose France as the locale, enter a date and time in the European format (DD/MM/YY), the applet displays the results in various formats:

This demonstration facility downloads and installs a Java applet on your Windows workstation to fetch the workstation locale. Your workstation must contain a Java JVM and your Internet Explorer settings must allow Java applet to run. Other Process Commander operations do not require Java applets. When you click Compute. The JVM on the server, not the JVM on the workstation, performs the computation.
