Date format issue for some users

Scenario #1:

The RDS server is migrated to different region DC.

Issue:

When existing users access the MS access as remote app, they get date format issue.

Error message:

Your system is configured for American date format mm/dd/yyyy. Please change the regional settings to Australia and try again

Scenario #2:

Date format not showing correctly in server for some users when they remotely login to the server

Issue: Some users still see the date format as MM/dd/yyyy even though it is set to dd/MM/yyyy.

Troubleshooting: Since the issue is occurring only for some users, it's more related to user profile

Resolution: Delete the stored user profile from the server for existing users. Since the existing user profile are stored and that regional details are displayed based on user profile stored. Once the existing user profiles are delete, a new user profile is created and saved when user logins in again.

Steps to delete the user profile

1. Run > sysdm.cpl to open System Properties window
2. Click on Advanced tab
3. Click on Settings button under User Profiles section
4. Select the user profile with issue and click Delete 

Note: If Delete button is grayed out/disabled, make sure that user does not have any active/disconnected session. You can check this in Task Manager > Users. Log off the user and try to delete again.

Add following code in to your script.

//Your JSON Data

var empdata = {

 content: {

     employee: [

       {

         name: "Joe",

         Age: 30,

         id : 1007

       },

       {

         name: "Bill",

         Age: 35,

         id : 1008

       }

     ]

  }

};

//Create Class

var Employees = React.createClass({

render: function() {

  //To retrieve keys from data.content

  var keys = Object.keys(empdata.content);

  //iterate through the keys to get the underlying values

  var allEmps = keys.map((t) => empdata.content[t].map((e) => ({e.id}-{e.name}-{e.Age})));

return ({allEmps})

}

});

//Render data to HTML

ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById("root"));

        {
            string shortName = string.Empty;
            string[] txtArray = strSiteName.Split(' ');
     
       //if site name is a single word, get the first three characters of the site name
                if (txtArray.Length == 1)
                {
                    return strSiteName.Substring(0, 3);
                }

                //Get the first letter of each word in the site name
                foreach (string word in txtArray)
                {

                }
                return shortName;
            }

Unit testing Vs Integration testing Vs System testing Vs UAT Vs Smoke testing

Unit Testing
- Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use.
- Unit tests are created by programmers or occasionally by white box testers during the development process.


Integration testing
- Individual software modules are combined and tested as a group.
- System integration testing is the process of verifying the synchronization between two or more software systems and which can be performed after software system collaboration is completed.
- It occurs after unit testing and before system testing
- The purpose of integration testing is to verify functional, performance, and reliability requirements placed on major design items


System testing
-  Once the system testing is done  the software is ready to ship
-  Done by QA at development end
- System testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and as such, should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.
- It is also intended to test up to and beyond the bounds defined in the software/hardware requirements specification(s).


UAT
- User acceptance testing is testing conducted by users of the system
- Done by QA(trained like end users


Smoke testing
- Smoke testing refers to the first test made after assembly or repairs to a system, to provide some assurance that the system under test will not catastrophically fail. After a smoke test proves that "the pipes will not leak, the keys seal properly, the circuit will not burn, or the software will not crash outright," the system is ready for more stressful testing.
