EFD Management Configuration – Cultural Settings

EQuIS Enterprise provides extensive flexibility with how EQuIS Format Definition (EFD) files are managed and consumed by the Enterprise workflow service. Configuration is performed by editing records in the ST_CONFIG table where CONFIG_SECTION = efdManagementConfiguration.

 

When the EDDCultureRegex CONFIG_KEY setting is defined, users are able to set the culture for specific EDDs by adding an identifier to the EDD file name rather than using the defined Workflow Service Culture Setting. This identifier is set as a regular expression. By default, the STRING_VALUE is set to this regular expression "(?<=\[).+?(?=\])" that looks for a culture identifier in the EDD file name separated by square brackets. For example, the ExampleEDD[de-de].Springfield.EQEDD.zip file contains German culture settings. The workflow service will process this EDD in the German culture so that the numerical values and date values do not cause errors when attempting to load. If this ST_CONFIG setting is defined, but no culture is specified in the EDD file name, the EDD will be processed in the default Workflow Service Culture Setting.

 

Note: The regular expression in the STRING_VALUE can be customized to look for the cultural setting value between a character other than square brackets, such as parentheses. In this instance, an example file name would be EDDName(es-es).Facility.Format.zip instead of EDDName[es-es].Facility.Format.zip.

 

See the Use EQuIS Enterprise with Different Regional Settings or Languages article for details on cultural settings in EQuIS.

See the EFD Management article for a broader discussion of EFD configuration.
