Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
The dateformat option specifies the format you want to use to
display dates.
Use this option if you want to change the default date format for the
language of the message repository you are using.
Notes:
- This dateformat option does not affect the Web client.
The Web client uses the date format for the locale that the browser is running
in. If the browser is not running in a locale that Tivoli Storage
Manager supports, the Web client uses the date format for American
English.
- When you change the date format and use the schedlogretention
option to prune the schedule log, Tivoli Storage Manager removes all entries
in the schedule log with a different date format when pruning the log.
When you change the date format and use the errorlogretention
option to prune the error log, Tivoli Storage Manager removes all entries in
the error log with a different date when pruning the log. When changing
the date format, copy the schedule log and error log if you want to preserve
log entries that contain a different date format.
