Date Formatting in SIM

How can I change the Date formatting from US MM/DD/YYYY to Australian DD/MM/YYYY?

I can't find the config file or option !

thanks

I have also been looking for a way to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY to no avail. You are right in that there is no mention in any of the manuals.

Can someone from HP tell us if this is hardcoded and cannot be changed or not?

Strange for a program to come from a large vendor that ignores the computer's regional settings.

The other problem is Perth have just introduced Daylight savings time, so now all alerts are 1 hour out. I've tried a standard JAVA patch into the HPSIM Java Bin, but it doesn't work. !

Good Question! They don't seem to be listening :) Any ideas how to escalate these sorts of problems to them?

The forums are a best efforts basis. If you want to log a call on HPSIM, you should be able to log it through the normal support channels.
And HP engineers regularly answer queries.

Nope I've gotten nowhere so far !

Have upgraded to 5.1 and not noticed any changes in this or the daylight savings for Perth area.
