Dates in WebI always in the different format 1/1/70

The date always displayed as 1/1/70 in WebI that are built on top of BEx queries.

SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 (Product: 14.0.0) Patch level 2.6

SAP BW: SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Patch 08)

The BEx : BI AddOn 7.x on (based on 7.10); SP 10, Patch 1

Java Pug-in: Java version 6 Update 29 (build 1.6.0_29b11)

I’m using the WebI from BI Launch Pad which uses Java plug-in to work. I’m not using SAP Web Intelligence Rich Client (this one needs local client installation).

For e.g.:

Fig 01 – Wrong WebI dates

While it suppose to display

Fig 02 – Corrected WebI dates

The solution for this is given in this SAP Note. You will need an OSS ID to access the SAP service marketplace to see this note.
