Problem: Installing Workbench displays by the default the date format as MMM-dd-yyyy, I need to change the date format
to match EMEA (international) date format such as dd-MMM-yyyy.
Solution:
If you add these two lines to the %CA_SCM_HOME%\workbench.ini file, it will change the display format of
dates in workbench:
-Duser.language=<language code>
-Duser.region=<country code>
For example :
-Duser.language=en
-Duser.region=US
(for US English - the date will show as Aug-08-2015)
-Duser.language=fr
-Duser.region=CA
(for Canadian French - date shows as 2015-10-08)
-Duser.language=en
-Duser.region=UK
(for United Kingdom - date shows as 08-Aug-2015)
Note: The Workbench.ini file will be read only so you must change the property to be writeable in order
to save the changes. This is the contents of a Workbench.ini that was changed for the UK region:
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-Duser.language=en
-Duser.region=GB
