Description
Resolution: Description: ============ On some platforms the output of 'Time' field in Timer activity presents in 12 hrs (AM/PM) while on others it is represented in 24 hrs format.
Environment: ============ TIBCO BusinessWorks™ (BW) 5.X OS: MS Windows, UNIX
Cause: ====== Time format for 'Timer' activity is based on Operating System regional settings.
Resolution: =========== For MS Windows the setting that determines 12/24 hrs format of 'Time' output field is 'Regional and Language Options' in Control Panel. The time format will be set in regards to the country chosen in this configuration panel. It can be also explicitly customized to match desired format.
For UNIX systems, environmental variable LC_CTYPE is responsible for the 'Time' field format. On most UNIX systems, if not set otherwise, this variable has a default value of 'C' also know as POSIX and will make the output of 'Timer' activity be presented in 12 hrs AM/PM format.
It can be changed to regional settings e.g.: LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 to make the output be presented in 24 hrs format.
