Chapter 7      Time and Date in Reports
  How Date Formats are Set
This field is used for the daylight savings time adjustment so that the Logger does not write duplicate 
keys in the database when the time“falls back” (that is, when time rolls back an hour for US daylight 
saving time in the fall). The time zone of the PG or NIC that generated the data is not recorded in the 
database.
Time and Time Zones Dependencies
The table below shows the time synchronization and time zone dependencies among the various 
components in the reporting system relative to the Router, which the ICM/IPCC system assumes to have 
the correct time.

Not Necessarily means although the ICM /IPCC components might be time synchronized 
or time zone synchronized with the Router, there is no enforcement of this policy, nor is it reasonable to 
assume that your system is automatically set up this way. 
For a detailed explanation of how ICM software handles time synchronization, see the ICM 
Administration Guide for Cisco ICM Enterprise Edition
 available on the Cisco web site in the 
Documentation section of the Cisco Customer Contact software web page.
The PG or NIC is not required to be in the same time zone as the Central Controller. However all time 
that flows between the PG or NIC and the Router is in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and thus time zones 
do not matter. 
The Router, Logger, PG, and NIC need to be time synchronized in order for routing to happen correctly. 
However, the WebView server and the WebView client can be off by several minutes, and the reports will 
still make intuitive sense to the reporting user.
How Date Formats are Set
WebView sets date format in reports according to the language setting in the Internet Explorer browser. 
WebView supports nine languages on the server and can support the date formats of the locales listed in 
If WebView does not detect any of these languages, it defaults to US-English (
mm/dd/yyyy
) format. 
The languages appearing in the Internet Explorer language list are actually locales; that is, a combination 
of ISO-639 language code and ISO-3166 country code. 
The mappings between locales and date formats are defined in the file, 
wvLocale.properties,
 in the 
form of: 
<locale>=<date format>
For example: 
De=DD/MM/YYYY
