    Symptoms

    * Changing date format in vxws.properties appears to alter the date format in some services (like Record Items, for example), but not others (Patron Circulation Actions – Loans, for example).

    Defect Status

    Issue 16384-16194 / VYG-239 is resolved for Voyager 8.1.2 and higher.

    Replication Steps

    Replication steps:
    1. In /m1/voyager/yyydb/vxws/context/vxws/ui/eng, edit the date.format= variable in vxws.properties to, for example, MM-dd-yyyy.
    2. Check the date format in the xml Voyager sends:
    http://xx.xxx.x.xx:7014/vxws/patron/444/circulationActions/loans/1@MAST20001DB20020910104124|65590?patron_homedb=1@MAST20001DB20020910104124
