Date Order suddenly switching

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We have around 20 Domino servers (6.5.1) split between two iSeries servers.

Suddenly on Monday morning around 11:30am half of them (split evenly between the two iseries) switched their date format from UK to US. i.e. mid log it went from 14/06/2004 to 06/14/2004.

No changes had been made to Domino or the iSeries, Locale for QNOTES remained en-gb. Anyone seen this before? I added the DateOrder=DMY parameter and restarted and the dates are back as before now.

However I am mystified as to why half of them, split between two boxes changes within 10 minutes of each other and yet the remaining half remained unaffected.

I think I have seen this kind of thing reported before in the forums. I do not remember seeing any good explanation.

I am having this same problem on a 6.5.1 server on Win32. It is happening daily around 02.00 am. Restarting the server resets it correctly.

The DateOrder parameter does not affect the order of dates in the log.

Do you or anyone have news about this issue?
