Configure Regional Settings

You can configure Axon to display the interface so that it meets specific regional or locale requirements.
You must have the Super Admin profile to perform this task.
    1. From the Axon toolbar, click the Admin Panel menu item under your user name.
    2. In the menu on the left, under the Customize & Configure category, click System Settings.
    3. In the Group list, select Localization.
    4. Click Edit, and configure the following properties:
    Property
    Description
    Date
    Format to display the date in the Axon interface. Enter a format that conforms to standard PHP convention. To view the supported formats, refer to Supported Date Formats
    Date Time
    Format to display the date and time in the Axon interface. Enter a format that conforms to standard PHP convention. To view the supported formats, refer to Supported Date Formats
    5. Click Save.
    6. In the Linux environment, run the following command to clear the Axon cache and restart the necessary services:
    sh <INSTALLATION_DIR>/axonhome/third-party-app/scripts/paramsync
    When you run the paramsync script, Axon restarts the HTTPD, Memcached, and email notification services.
Note: When you clear the cache and restart the Axon services, the Axon web interface might be disrupted for some users that are logged into Axon. Informatica recommends that you update the cache after you save your changes in all the System Settings pages. Additionally, perform this action during a maintenance period when very few users are using Axon.
