I have developed a simple launch page using the HTML composer (WF 7.6.11). I have 2 calendar controls on the page. In my development environment the dates are passed to the fex in MM/DD/YYYY (with the slashes). In production the dates are passed in MMDDYYYY (no slashes). Other than the server name for some images (dev is v99wfcd03 and prod is v99wfcp03) the code is identical. Anyone have an idea as to what might be different? Is there a setting somewhere? Actually I would like dev to pass the dates without the slashes.

Hi John,

You need HotFix 6 for 7.6.11. It fixes the bug in 7.6.11 HTML composer that removed the slashes...

OR

Go to 7.7.03M

Tom,

So are you saying that since I have the slashes in my development environment that it probably has the Hotfix and the production environment needs the Hotfix?

How to determine the Gen Number:

http://server:8080/ibi_apps/diagnostics/about.jsp

This will provide a Gen number - which corresponds to a HotFix, but to determine which HotFix, you have to look at the Read Me file for the HotFix.

E.G.: v7.7.03, HotFix 5 is Gen Number 140 (go figure!).

I just looked at that and in my dev environment the client is at Hot Fix 5 and my production environment has never been updated. We have 4 distinct groups using WebFOCUS, all with independent environments. My production environment is the only environment not at Hot Fix 5, go figure. We are getting the update scheduled.

Thanks for your help.

It would really help to have the Hotfix version in the product version description somewhere, this juggling with Gen numbers is unnecessarily confusing.

I'm assuming IBI uses some form of source control management (they better!). In any decent SCM you can tag certain versions with some label (say "Hotfix 6"). The better SCM's out there even make that the easiest way to roll out a patch, which is simply a diff between this tag and the base release tag.

This hasn't happened so far, which makes me wonder...
