Daylight Saving Time Changes for 2007
Hello Friends
Sun's J2SE 1.4.2_11 has taekn care of the new Daylight Saving Time changes in accordance with The Energy Policy Act of 2005. Does anyone know if bea has incorporated same changes to their Jrockit, if so then starting which version.

Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hello All
We currently compile and run our application with Jrockit 1.4.2_04 (build 1.4.2_04-b05), if we change to minor version 11 for 1.4.2 should we recompile the application. I would think that DST related binaries would only be called at run time not compile time, however I am far from being a compiler expert. Can any learned friend shed some light.
Henrik what do you think.
Regards and Thanks

Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007 for USA
Can anyone give me solution how to handle Daylight saving Time changes in 2007 in USA for JDK 1.3.x releases? We are using this due to some vendor dependency. We can�t upgrade to higher versions up to middle of the 2007. I would be thankful if somebody gets back to me.
I have a similar issue where we cannot upgrade the jdk 1.1 without involving a lot of effort. If we keep the same old jdk, can someone tell me if use of Date and Calendar api will be impacted by the Daylight saving change.....provided the timezone is default and not explicitly set to EST. Also there isnt any timezone related buss logic.

Support for US Daylight Saving Time changes in 2007
The Start and Stop dates for Daylight Savings Time in US will change from 2007.
From Sun's bug database, it looks like Sun has handled this Daylight Saving Time changes in JDK 1.5.0_06.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6317178
Does anyone know if they have handled this in earlier JDK releases (1.3.x, 1.4.x)? If not, do they have any plan to handle these changes?1.3.1_18 had a timezone change.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/ReleaseNotes.html
1.4.2_11 had some timezone changes (but now there is a 1.4.2_12, so use that).
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ReleaseNotes.html
Not sure exactly what the timezone changes were, but check the release notes or give those JDKs a try. -
Oracle Fix for U.S. Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007
Hi --
Does any one know that if Oracle 10g Application Server (9.0.4) or Oracle 10g Application Server (10.1.2) as a fix for this issue.
Summary of the Issue: Information about the impact of the US Energy Policy Act of 2005, which changes the effective dates of US Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2007 for the US. The passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 alters the Daylight Saving Time (DST) start and stop dates by four weeks. Extended Daylight Saving Time will begin in March of 2007.
The details for the issue can found at this location:

Hi --
I am having an issue with Oracle 10g Application Server (9.2.0.4 and 10.1.2) and BEA Weblogic (8.1.4) upgrading their corresponding JDK's to resolve the Daylight Saving Time Changes. Right now these app servers are using SUN jdk version, whcih prone to the DST issue, less that JDK 1.4.2.11.

Daylight Savings Time Changes for 2007
Could Oracle have made it any more confusing to update database server software for the DST changes starting in March? One document I read points to at least a dozen other documents, some of which are actually written in English.
Has anyone been able to simplify this procedure or are you all just hoping the DST changes don't affect you?Are you not able to find the correct patch for your database platform?
You can always contact Oracle Support to clarify any issues you may have that relate to your platform. -
I just got an e-mail from Sun about the DST issue for 2007.
Is Adobe going to come up with a fix for this or should we download
the JDK directly from Sun? We are currently running JDK 1.4.2_04.
Some sort of communication about this issue would be appreciated.
U.S. Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007
The United States has planned a change to its DST observance
beginning in 2007. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that DST
will start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first
Sunday in November. In 2007, the start and stop dates will be March
11 and November 4, respectively. These dates are different from
previous DST start and stop dates. In 2006, the dates were the
first Sunday in April (April 2, 2006) and the last Sunday in
October (October 29, 2006).
If you are concerned about application failures that may
result from these DST changes, you should update your Java Runtime
Environment. The following Java platform versions have correct time
rules to handle the DST changes that will affect U.S. time zones in
2007. You can download any of the following Java platform versions
to resolve this DST issue:
JDK 6 Project (beta)
J2SE 5.0 Update 6 or later
J2SE 1.4.2_11 or laterOk, I have figured out what the issue is here. I'm posting
this in the hopes
that Adobe will modify their document, "How to upgrade the
JVM that ships with
ColdFusion" at
http://www.adobe.com/go/2d547983.
There are several steps that
are omited or vague, so here is some additional information
that will help you
in the upgrade process.
JVM 1.5.x is NOT supported for ColdFusion. The link
specified for the upgrade
process points to the Java SE page which currently displays
1.5.x as the
current version. Instead go directly to the 1.4.2x page at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
to get the correct version of the
JVM.
It should also be noted that the default installation for
the JVM points to
C:\Program Files\Java\JDK<version>, this default
directory must be changed
because the java.config file does NOT allow for white space
in the java.home
argument. When installing the JVM you should choose the
?Custom? install and
install to C:\Java or a directory structure that does not
contain spaces. It
may be helpful to rename the JRE directory under Jrun4 and
install to that
directory directly if you don?t want the java files outside
of the Jrun
directory. This is important because if there is white space
in the directory
structure, ColdFusion will not start up and return a ?Service
fails to start
with Service-Specific Error 2? message when starting the
service.
Once you have installed the JVM it is necessary to create a
directory in the
JVM folder called ?Server?. There is already a directory in
the folder called
?Client?. Once you create the Server directory, copy the
contents of the Client
directory into the new directory called Server; this is
completely omitted from
the document and is important to the process for upgrading
the JVM.
Using the above information combined with the document
provided by Adobe, I
was able to install the JVM 1.4.2_11 and ColdFusion started
up using it.
Hopefully these suggestions will help others in the future
when they need to
upgrade the JVM.
Thanks! -

Daylight Savings Time Change Mar-2007
Is this years new date for DayLight Savings Time going to affect my WRT54G v3.1 router? My firmware is 4.30.5.
Also, does anyone know why the opening admin page for my router say I have a WRT54GL?Versions 1 - 4 and GL's use the same firmware because they all have the Linux operating system.
The new release firmware for versions 1 to 4 is 4.21.1 If there is no fix for the new DST in 4.30.x it might be in the new release. -
Converting unix timestamp to date after Daylight Saving Time change
Hello,
in one of the products we use the internal scheduler stores dates (and times) in an Unix-like format, that is seconds since 1st of January 1970. We have used this SQL to extract the actual date:
TO_CHAR(t.next_fire_time/(24*60*60*1000) +to_date('19700101020000','yyyymmddhh24miss'),'yyyymmddhh24miss')
Everything worked fine until the time has changed this weekend from UTC+2 to UTC+1 (we are located in Eastern Europe). Since then the query above returns one hour later than it should.
I.e. timestamp *1320067800000* is returned as *20111031153000* even thought correct is (and the actual time the event was scheduled) *31-OCT-11 02.30.16.000000 PM*
I found queries like this on different forums and no one seems to worry much about the daylight savings. Is this a configuration issue in the DB or is it a bug in our code?
I tried selecting the SESSIONTIMEZONE and DBTIMEZONE and both were +1.
Any help appreciated.Your problem is hard-coded 2hour offset:
to_date('19700101<font size=5 color=red>02</font>0000','yyyymmddhh24miss')You need to calculate current offset to adjust it to current DST situation:
with sample_table as (
select date '1970-01-01' + 1320067800000 / 1000 / 3600 / 24 dt_utc from dual
select dt_utc,
dt_utc +
extract(
timezone_hour
from
from_tz(cast(dt_utc as timestamp),'utc') at time zone 'Europe/Prague'
) / 24 dt_prague,
extract(
timezone_hour
from
from_tz(cast(dt_utc as timestamp),'utc') at time zone 'Europe/Prague'
) tz_offset
from sample_table
DT_UTC DT_PRAGUE TZ_OFFSET

For DST , we are planning to shutdown ABAP systems. What about JAVA systems, shall we need to shutdown JAVA systems??
It would be great, if any one can provide any document or OSS notes for JAVA systems.
Thanks & RegardsHi Srinivas,
Sorry that I don't know any Note covering all different platforms and releases...
My experience is that for non-active Java engine on Windows, the Java engine would run fine without shutdown. For some platform(s), it is required to shutdown ABAP stack, so the Java engine will be down for ABAP+JAVA systems.
If you give the release and the platform details, manby someone has the answer.
Best regards,

New Daylight Saving Time Rules

Hi,
I'm using instantclient-basic-solaris32-10.2.0.2. Does anyone know if I need to patch this client for the Daylight Saving Time change coming up?
Thanks.Hi,
Time zone and DST information are only used in TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE (TSLTZ) and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE (TSTZ) datatypes, and not for any other datatype. If TSLTZ or TSTZ types are not used there is no requirement to make any updates to the time zone rules.
For more information, you should read Metalink Doc ID 359145.1

CreateODBCDateTime monkeys with Daylight Saving Time!!
If one uses CreateODBCDateTime to convert a date into the
proper format for storing in a SQL Server database, and one runs
this operation on a date between 0200 and 0300 on the day that
Daylight Saving Time changes, the function will change the time
forward or backward one hour. IT WILL DO THIS EVEN IF THE DATE YOU
ARE STORING IS UTC, thus rendering UTC times INVALID because they
do not have DST. Why does this function monkey with DST at all?I have several international web sites on this server, one of
which has over 100,000 users who have contributed over 70 million
records, all with UTC timestamps. The problem occurs during the one
hour period EVERY YEAR when daylight saving time is started. It
does not do this in the fall when the time reverts. So, yes, the
problem only occurs during 1 hour out of 8,760 hours, but when you
start with 70 million records over 5 or 6 years...
But the danger is for anybody who stores or manipulates a
date/time OTHER THAN the date/time that is being used internally to
the server. In other words, if your server is set to Central Time,
and you have users in Hawaii or Arizona who need to store their own
date/time, it is likely to apply Central Timezone RULES to that
date/time, even if Hawaii and Arizona don't use DST.
Let's say you're scheduling operating rooms in a hospital in
Honolulu. All the CF routines are going to make sure to shift those
times forward an hour without warning, have a nice day. In my case,
it is happening with UTC, but it could be ANY time zone that has
different rules than the ones on your server.
Yes, I can probably figure out a different way to process
times, but this is a massive system with thousands of different
templates. In fact it affects several pretty massive software
systems with millions of lines of code, so it's not as if I can
just change a few SQL queries and be done with it.
It probably should be a rule for anybody operating a
ColdFusion server in an international setting, where dates and
times from different regions might need to be stored in a database,
to set up the server on UTC time just to avoid this problem.
Me, I have to
a. find all the places this will affect in thousands of lines
of code,
b. try to decide what impact going to UTC on the server will
have on things like scheduled tasks, email servers, etc,
c. then figure out whether there is any way to repair tens of
thousands of corrupted records
