Prior to loading the database, the data files provided with this installation may require modification to set the date fields to match the locale setting of the server.

The default date format used in the data files is EN_US (MM/DD/YYYY). If the server locale is something other than this format, then all date fields must be modified to fit your locale. The data files are contained in the XML files which are located in the <Windchill>/loadFiles directory. You only need to consider the XML files relevant to your installation.

To locate the dates that require modification, use an editor that can perform expression matching on the data files. Using this editor, execute the following expression to find the dates that require modification:

[0-3]?[0-9]/[0-3]?[0-9]/[12][90][0-9][0-9]

This expression will find all entries that match the default MM/DD/YYYY pattern. This expression will also find all entries that match the DD/MM/YYYY pattern.
