Hello all,
I'm new to dynamics (main tree, checked out at 2/07/2002 (dmy)), so forgive
me if this is a stupid question...
My problem: I wan't to change the dateformat to European iso American (dmy
iso mdy) and the year-offset to 1980 iso of 1950. This can be done by
manually altering the used icfconfig.xml file. Is this also possible from
within Dynamics ? It seems that dynamics defaults to 1950 and American
whenever I regenerate the icfconfig.xml file.
Kind Regards,
Bert Jansen

Date-format and Year-offset settings in dynamicsBert,
Yes, it is possible.
From the Dynamics Administration Menu choose Session Property Control from
the Session menu. All the settings that can be applied to the SESSION handle
begin "session_". Look for session_date_format and session_year_offset.
You can modify the value of both of these by choosing the "Modify record"
button and setting the Default Property Value to something else.
These two properties both have the "Always Used" flag set. What this means
is that all session types will always get these property values, even if
they don't set them themselves in the Session Type control. If they are set
via the Session Type control, then that value overrides the one in the
Session Property control. Otherwise the default in the Session Property
control is used.
This functionality is not new to version 2. This works in 1.1 as well. Where
things are different in V2 is that the Session Types can be derived from
other session types. But more about that later.
Hope that helps.
regards,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Your solution solved the problem! Thanks. I've got another question for you:
why is the "Entity import" menu-item in the dynamics administration
disabled? --I previously did some testing with the latest baseline and
there it wasn't disabled...
Regards,
Bert

Date-format and Year-offset settings in dynamicsI'm assuming you built your
database in the last 24 hours.
We have a central repository that is used to feed the POSSENET web site. All
work that any developers do that affects the repository has to go through
the central repository. There is one person that has the responsibility of
making sure that all the submissions for the day are properly loaded into
the central repository and do not break (too much) existing stuff. That
process currently happens around 5:30 am EDT, although sometimes it takes
longer than others and it only gets done by around 9:00 am.
In the partcular case you are talking about, there is an ADO submission that
is outstanding that replaces the Entity Import with a dynamic container.
That ADO has not yet been loaded in the central repository, but the old
static container that it replaces has already been removed from the SCM
system (CVS) so that it is no longer compiled and therefore does not appear
in the menus.
Once this morning's ADO load is completed and submitted to POSSE, this
problem should go away.

Bruce
