Using the Locale to Control the Names of Time Members

Using the Locale to Control the Names of Time Members

When you build a cube, the system can use the current server locale to determine the names of members of any time dimensions. It is useful to check the relevant option, as follows:

1. In the Management Portal, select System Administration > Configuration > National Language Settings > Locale Definitions.

   This page displays the current server locale.

2. Examine the setting of the option Use locale date/time/number formats and change it if needed.

   If this option is Yes, then the system considers the locale shown on this page when it builds or synchronizes the members of time dimensions.

If you later change the locale, it is necessary to recompile and rebuild the cube.

Also, see Locale Definitions.
