Problem
At NetBackup versions 6.5.6 and 7.0.1, with implementation of code in ET1914420, the date/time format displayed in the Java Administrative console has changed from mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss to Mmm dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss AM or PM.
Solution
The binary with the enhancement is available for 6.5.6 under ET2135271 which is posted for public download here:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH143778
7.0.1 a fix is available by calling NetBackup Technical Support and referencing ET2138445.
Once the binary is received or obtained, installation instructions are as follows:
UNIX:
Place the nbj.conf (*) file in the /usr/openv/java directory.
*This file may or may not exist currently in the directory as it is only supplied by support when a Java fix is required. If the file exists, a case should be opened with NetBackup Technical Support to review any defects for which the binary was given.
In the nbj.conf, place the following line:
USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=1 (or 0)
If set to USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=1 the new format will be shown.
If set to USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=0, the original format will be shown.
Windows:
Place the nbjP.jar (*) file in the <install_path>\Java directory.
*This file may or may not exist currently in the directory as it is only supplied by support when a Java fix is required. If the file exists, a case should be opened with NetBackup Technical Support to review any defects for which the binary was given.
SET USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=1 (or 0)
SET USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT >> "%NBJDIR%"\nbjconf
This can be put above the last two lines in the file:
SET INSTALLED_RELEASE=##0000
SET BUILDNUMBER=########
If SET USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=1 is configured, the new format will be shown.
If SET USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=0 is configured, the original format will be shown.
Examples of each format:
With USE_OS_DATETIME_FORMAT=0:
