<p>Hello there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am designing a report using BIRT 3.7.1 to be used with Maximo SmartCloud Control Desk 7.5.1.1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All I want to do is to make sure that the date function I use in BIRT returns the date according to the calendar type that the client user machine is using.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For most people, the calendar type is the Georgian (January, February ... etc) calendar. However, in the project we are working on, users use a calendar on their computers known as Islamic or Hijri calendar, it is simply changed from windows regional and language setting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My question is: How can I make the BIRT report I am designing get the date from the machine of the user himself?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If he uses Georgian: He should get a date like 09\11\2014</p>
<p>If he uses Islamic : He should get a date like 16\01\1436</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Currently, I am using the new Date () function , it returns the Georgian language on the machine using Islamic calendar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, I tried the following code in an expression in a data element:</p>
<p> </p>
<div>var d = new Date(); </div>
<div>var n = d.toLocaleString(); </div>
<div>this.text = n;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Still, it returns Georgian representation or format.</div>
<p> </p>
<p>Would very much appreciate any ideas / suggestions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
