The Registry will validate observation dates against an expected format. This Data Validator is called “Time Period Format” and enforces that format of the reported time periods match the expected value defined in the DSD. Note: This Data Validator is only applied if the Data Structure has a dimension called “FREQ”. This time formats are defined as follows:
| Format | Frequency Code | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly | A | 2001 |
| Half-Of-Year | S | 2001-S1 |
| Third-Of-Year | T | 2001-T3 |
| Quarter-Of-Year | Q | 2001-Q4 |
| Month | M | 2001-12 |
| Week | W | 2001-W52 |
| Date | D | 2001-12-31 |
| Hour | H | 2001-12-31T23 |
| Date Time | I | 2001-12-31T23:59:59 |
Using 'H' for half-year (semiannual)
At ESCB level SDMX data exchanges, there is an agreement to use ‘H’ as the frequency value for semiannual observations with ‘YYYY-S1’ for TIME_PERIOD format.
The Registry supports this by setting 'alternate half year' mode under which:
- Frequency value H means half-year (semiannual or semester)
- The hourly frequency is not supported
- 'YYYY-S1' is the TIME_PERIOD format for half-yearly observations
Alternate half year mode is controlled at system level on Registry start-up by setting the Java System variable “TF_ALTERNATE_HALF_YEAR” to “true”.
If using Apache Tomcat, JAVA_OPTS can be set in the setenv.bat or setenv.sh file:
SET JAVA_OPTS=-DTF_ALTERNATE_HALF_YEAR=true (For Windows systems)
export JAVA_OPTS=-DTF_ALTERNATE_HALF_YEAR=true (For Unix systems)
Different procedures may be required for other web application servers like JBoss.
The Fusion Registry system log will report the following message:
2021-12-31 23:59:59.123 INFO main io.sdmx.core.fmr.application.FusionRegistryApplicationInitialiser - Using 'Alternate Half-Year' Setting
