Change Data Format in Form XML Data

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform.  |    System Manager / DevOps  |  18.11 This feature was updated in 18.11.

Manager allows you to change data format in the XMLXML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. data of a selected transaction submitted by the user.

Starting from Manager version 18.11.0 the product now uses Open JDK 11, therefore the XML-based locale data is the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR), older version of JDK used JRE(COMPAT), the new XML based locale introduced a stop character after the month Abbreviation for some locales like en_AU.

Below is an extract of the Form XML Data, where the Submit Date String before Transact Manager 18.11 is displayed:

<OfflineSubmissionId/>
<ReceiptNumber>XXXXXX</ReceiptNumber>
<SubmitDateString>17 Sep 2019 23:35:55 pm</SubmitDateString>
<UpdateUserProfile>false</UpdateUserProfile>
<ShareForm/>
<ServerBuildNumber>18.11.5</ServerBuildNumber>
<RevisionNumber>1</RevisionNumber>
<TrackingCode>XXXXXX</TrackingCode>

Below is an example of the Submit Date String from Manager 18.11 onwards:

<OfflineSubmissionId/>
<ReceiptNumber>XXXXXX</ReceiptNumber>
<SubmitDateString>17 Sep. 2019 23:35:55 pm</SubmitDateString>
<UpdateUserProfile>false</UpdateUserProfile>
<ShareForm/>
<ServerBuildNumber>18.11.5</ServerBuildNumber>
<RevisionNumber>1</RevisionNumber>
<TrackingCode>XXXXXX</TrackingCode>

To be able to get the date stamp without the extra full stop after the month, you will need to update your JBoss virtual machine variables.

You have to update the JAVA_OPTS variable to append the property string -Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT.

This action needs to be performed at manager/server/bin/standalone.conf on the Manager instance of the server.

Below is how the change in the configuration file should looks like in the different operating systems:

Linux

File: standalone.conf

Config: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT"

Windows

File: standalone.conf.bat

Config: set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT"
