Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Dateformat

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

Options File

Place this option in the client options file dsm.opt.
