Message set defaults

The table below shows the default dateTime formatting symbols for the different physical message representations:

Message set property CWF default TDS default XML default
Default DateTime Format See Note 1. See Note 1. See Note 1.
Default Time Zone ID Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 ) Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 ) Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 )
Century Window 53 53 (80 for SWIFT) 53
Days in First Week of Year 4 Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 ) Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 )
First Day of Week Monday Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 ) Use Broker Locale ( see Note 2 )
Note:
  1. You can either set the default dateTime format to be derived from its logical type (the default), or specify the dateTime format that is to be used. This is set at the message set level for each physical format that has been added.
  2. The key phrase Use Broker Locale causes the broker to get the information from the underlying platform.

You can update all these default values. The CWF defaults are set for all values of the Physical Type property. If you change the CWF Physical Type to Binary, Packed Decimal, TimeSeconds, or TimeMilliseconds, you must update the Default DateTime Format property manually to ensure consistent results.

For more information about these message set properties, see Custom Wire Format message set properties, TDS Format message set properties, or XML Wire Format message set properties.
