Novell GroupWise 8 Hot Patch 2
Situation
Importing an address book with birthdays using the German client causes the birth date to swap date an month.
For example: January 5 (05 - 01 in German format) becomes May 1 (01 - 05 in German format)
Resolution
English client can be used for export and import as a workaround.

Steps to Duplicate:
- Log in with a user in the GW client with German interface
- Open the address book and add a contact in a personal address book including Birthday (For example 5th of January). In the summary view this shows 05.01(correct German date format)
- Export this contact
- Import the contact again
- Check the details for the newly imported user - notice that the Birthday has changed to 1st of May. In the summary view this shows 01/05
The day and the month got swapped after the import.
