Symptoms

 

The regional settings of the computer are set to German or something other than English (United States).

When a database backup is performed using OracleBackupManager, OracleBackupManager fails if you try to display the backup times.


Cause

  Depending on the regional settings, numbers may be displayed with a comma as the decimal point and the thousands separator as a period instead of a comma.

For example, when the regional settings are set to 'German (Germany)', the numbers will appear as: 123.456,78 instead of 123,456.78


Solution

 

Set the Regional Settings back to English (United States):

1) Select Settings > Control Panel > Regional Options.

2) On the General tab, from the Your Locale (Location) drop-down menu, select English (United States).

3) Click OK.

Permanent fix:
