Setting the short date format on Linux
On Linux, you can set the short date format used for reports, email notifications, and the startup log file, and any other date string created by the Helix ALM Server.
Valid date formats include: %m/%d/%y, %d/%m/%y, %b/%d/%y, or %d/%b/%y. You can substitute %b with %B or %y with %Y in these formats. The year parameter must be last in the date format.
Valid delimiters include a period, dash, forward slash, backward slash, comma, or a space.
| Character | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| %b | Abbreviated month name | Mar |
| %B | Full month name | March |
| %d | Day of the month, 01-31 | 22 |
| %m | Month of the year, 01-12 | 03 |
| %y | Two-digit year | 99 |
| %Y | Four-digit year | 1999 |
