    How to customise date format in LTW?

    I�m quite new to working with application �Lavastorm Transaction Warehouse�, LTW.
    The LTW Ref Guide is in front of me, no worries. We use LTW 3.4.5.029.

    I need to create readers for csv based event records in LTW. I try to configure a �User Defined Reader� for it.

    Incoming time stamp format looks like: YYYY/MM/DD-HH-Mi-SS.SS
    My LTW GUI does not provide a ISO 8601 format under �Read Format� for dates. Disappointing. Probably I�m not the first to find it�. Performance is no issue in our case, only a few files per day. And I prefer not to create some weird script based workaround.

    Idea:
    I need to create a matching time format in LTW. Some updates in the database should do it, I assume. But where and how?
    - Can you please point me to the tables (or GUI) where I can define a matching date format?
    - What solutions are possible to get such a time stamp format implemented within LTW?
    Any help welcome.
