Change the date format to mm/dd/yyyy in UCM

Problem: Our client had a requirement to display the date format in 4 digit year formate ie. mm/dd/yyyy. I tried the solution provided by oracle for changing the date format to a 4 digit year (document link below), but this only does not work.

You need to do the below for the change to apply:

  • Goto “System Properties” then Localization tab
  • Enable “English-US” Locale
  • Goto “Server” tab in “System Properties”
  • Change the “System Locale” to “English-US” (auto will not suffice)

Now if you try to modify date format in “Localization” tab it should show on
search result page or content information page.
