Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Timeformat

The timeformat option specifies the format in which you want to display system time.

The AIX, AIX 5L, Solaris, and HP-UX clients support locales other than English that describe every user interface that varies with location or language. Solaris and HP-UX clients only support English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese locale information. The default directories for system-supplied locales are as follows:

The backup-archive and administrative clients obtain format information from the locale definition in effect at the time the client is called. Consult the documentation on your local system for details about setting up your locale definition.

Note:
This timeformat option does not affect the Web client. The Web client uses the time 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 time format for American English.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients.

Options File

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