Environment

All datacenters.

Cause

  • The cause of this is that the locale associated with the bizX language initial selection is cached in an Analytics user session.
  • When a user logs into BizX and then into Analytics a session for the bizX user in Analytics starts and is based on the bizX settings of the user including the language that is set.
  • When that user changes their language in bizX, and access Analytics again, the locale of the original bizX language is still being used which affects Date/Time format being used. 

Resolution

  • Please note that this is considered current expected behaviour
  • There is an assumption that users very rately require a change in their bizX language (and ultimately thier locale)

Therefore, engineering's recommendation is if you change the bizx language AFTER being in Analytics > Analytics then you will need to completely logout of bizX before Analytics will pick up the correct locale according to new language selection. The exception would be when you have 2 languages that use the same Date/Time settings, eg. French and EN-UK.
