本地化时间维度

配置时间维度以正确显示区域设置。

You can configure the displayed format of time dimensions based on locale in the Standard Time Dimensions.cfg file (located by default at Server/Profiles/<my profile>/Dataset/Transformation/Time/Standard Time Dimensions.cfg).

For example, in North America you can express the date May 3rd, 2015 as 5/3/15, or %m/%d/%y. However, in other parts of the world this could be interpreted as %d/%m/%y, or March 5th, 2015 due to an ambiguity in the values. 为了避免出现这种情况，管理员可能需要更改显示格式以满足某个区域设置中用户的期望。

1. Override Default Time Dimensions in Standard Time Dimensions.cfg

若要启用这项功能，管理员必须覆盖默认设置，具体方法是：编辑现有的时间维度，或者使用其他参数创建新的时间维度。

下面是有关修改时间维度的示例。

在这个示例中，星期、小时、天、月份以及一天每个小时的格式值都被设置为默认值。

注意

如果忽略这些行，Data Workbench的行为将不会更改，维将使用默认值进行编译。

Transformation Include = TransformationInclude:
  Extended Dimensions = vector: 1 items
    0 = TimeDimensions:
      Comments = Comment: 0 items
      Dimensions = map:
        Day = string: Day
        Day of Week = string: Day of Week
        Hour = string: Hour
        Hour of Day = string: Hour of Day
        Month = string: Month
        Week = string: Week
      Hidden = bool: false
      Input Time (1970 epoch) = string: x-unixtime
      Week Format = string:
  %m/%d/%y
      Hour Format = string:
  %x %H:%M
      Day Format = string:
  %x
      Month Format = string:
  %b '%y
      Hour Of Day Format = string:
  %#H:%M
      Name = string: Visit Time
      Parent = string: Visit
      Week Start Day = string: Mon
  Transformations = vector: 0 items

2. 配置 meta.cfg 文件

此外，包管理员有必要将这些参数及其默认设置添加到配置文件的 meta.cfg 文件中。这样操作后可以通过工作站进行编辑。

下面是有关一个已配置的 meta.cfg 文件的摘要。

dimensions = vector: 6 items
  0 = Template:
    ...
  ...
  5 = Template:
    name = string: Time Dimensions
    value = TimeDimensions:
      Name = string:
      Comments = Comment: 0 items
      Hidden = bool: false

  Week Format = string: %d/%m/%y
       Hour Format = string: %x %H:%M
       Day Format = string: %x
       Month Format = string: %b '%y
       Hour Of Day Format = string: %#H:%M</b>
      Input Time (1970 epoch) = string:
      Parent = string:
      Week Start Day = string: Mon
      Dimensions = map:
        Hour of Day = string: Hour of Day
        Day of Week = string: Day of Week
        Hour = string: Hour
        Day = string: Day
        Week = string: Week
        Month = string: Month
