I don't think you can do this through the Admin tool. I have an entry in the arsystem startup script (sorry, not ar.conf) export ARDATE="%d/%m/%Y %X"
but you would need export ARDATE="%Y/%m/%d %X" %X is time, using locale's time format Martin ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rahul Takle Sent: 17 December 2007 13:00 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Setting Date Format To yyyy-mm-dd Site Wide ** Hi Martin, No, I haven't tried that but I will try it. Is there any way by which I can do this Date setting in the "yyyy-mm-dd" format using the AR Admin tool. This is because on the BMC Knowledge Base site I came across one solution which states that Note: If you want to change date and time format site-wide instead of per-user, your administrator must change your operating_specific locale settings. which leads me to believe that there is a way to do it through the admin tool. Can you please help me in knowing weather is this possible using the admin tool or not.

I am able to set the Date Format to "yyyy-mm-dd" in the AR User Tool by setting the Custom Format to "yyyy-mm-dd" in the Locale tab under Tools >Options but this is setting is only specific to my machine. If I want to do the same setting site wide for more than 1300 users is it possible by some way. Please let me know.
