Browser Time Zone Setting

We're using Apex 4.x and I need to capture the Browser Time Zone (TZ) into an application level item. Can anyone please suggest the approach.
Initial thoughts are to capture the TZ using JavaScript and use it inside the Page 101 login procedure. But, I'd appreciate any tips on how this TZ can be passed into an application level item and stored for further usage within my application.
Thanks,
VS Kumar

Jari - Thanks for your great tip. I was able to utilize this feature and assigned to apex application variable the timezone offset using GET_SESSION_TIMEZONE. I have a minor issue since I'm setting in the apex developer menu path - 'Shared Components ->Edit Globalization Attributes ->Automatic Time Zone=Yes'
When I run the application there is a brief 5 seconds *'Set Time Zone'* message that pops and then I see the login. Do you know how this message can be not visible, but still be able to set the session time zone offset using the above setting (Meaning, the problem is fixed using the above setting, but the message that appears before the login screen appears 'Set Time Zone' is a bit inconvenient.
Can you please advice if this message can be made NOT to display, but continue to use the 'Yes' for 'Automatic Time Zone' in the Globalization Attributes?
Thanks,
SK

How to update time zone setting in Aperture 2

When you install Aperture 2 you specify a time zone. However, I can't figure out how to change Aperture's time zone setting. I used to live on EST, so most of my photos are in EST. But since then I've moved to HST (Hawaii Standard Time) and purchased a MacBook and Aperture 2. I'm now trying to import photos taken in EST and can't seem to import them with the correct EST date/time. I changed my MacBook settings to EST and the date/time in the import window shows the label "EST" but the time has been adjusted to 5 hours ahead, which is HST. It is still adjusting the time from EST to HST even though my MacBook is setup to EST at this moment in time.

Have you tried changing the date time settings in your camera?

Same user has different time zone setting in Analytics & BI Publisher

Hi All,
i am using OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 now,
1) when login to http://localhost:9704/analytics, the time zone setting is (GMT+08:00) Taipei,
2) when login to http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver, the time zone setting is [GMT-11:00] Midway Island, Samoa,
it is different, why? and i can't even modify the time zone setting in BI Publisher.
Regards,
Makson

do you know how does the default time zone setting come from?It comes with the installation itself default. or it will be related to some database timezone that will be taken by BI.
default time zone values can be changed with variables that have been newly introuduced system session variables like TIMEZONE in OBIEE 11g
TIMEZONE --> Contains the time zone of the user, typically populated from the LDAP profile of the user.

Time zone setting

I can't seem to locate a time zone setting for Adelaide South Australia on my nano. It's available as a city on the clock but not for me to select as my time zone...am i missing something here!?!
Cheers,
Neil

Yes I have the same problem. It's strange that you can select Adelaide in clock section but not in the time zone. It's also silly that you can't select the GMT offset manually.
Apple, is there any way around this? How about a patch that would fix this problem?

Report for Users Personal Time Zone Set.

Hi All,
Is there any report or transaction code, which can give me the list of users with their Personal Time Zone set by Individual on the ECC 6.0 system?
Thank You in Advance.

You are assuming that there is a standard report but so far no-one can recollect it.
Have you done the following:?
1. Identified the relevant field
2. In SE84 do a "where used" on that field to ID the tables it is in
3. Looked in all those tables
If it's directly in a table then that will help, if it's stuck in a structure then that's not so good.
You could also do a trace via ST05 to see what tables are referenced or updated when you make the change

My iCal is off by 1 hour - same time zone setting

Help! I've been through numerous forum posts regarding iCal quirks and I can't find a solution to my problem.
I use MS Outlook at my work and sometimes, I send myself an appointment on my home account so I can see the same personal appointment on both calendars. Today, I set an event for tomorow morning 9AM on MS Outlook and I invited myself on my icloud.com account.
When I received the meeting invitation for 9AM, it shows that the originator (me) sent the invitation for 9AM in the time zone I was sending it from but on my iCal the time the meeting shows up is 8AM. It's off by 1 hour.
I've verified all my time settings in my computer and I can't find any setting that will move the time to the correct time.
The time zone where I'm sending the Outlook invitation is set to GMT-5:00 Eastern Time. I used the 'set time zone automatically' feature in the Mac System Prefs and the city next to where I'm located is automatically detected. The location is coming up within a confirmed time zone that is GMT-5:00 Eastern Time. The two calendars should match but they're off by 1 hour.
Any suggestions on what I might try to fix the problem?

Over the weekend my computer shut down due to battery running out, which I now know dumps all Mail accounts. Between this issue with the time zone and the loss of my Mail data I have switched to Outlook 2011. It has been a bit of a pain to re-setup a mail program but my meetings are now making it to my calendar correctly. Of course outlook and iCal don't play friendly either so I have to drag and drop to get things onto my calendar but at least I'm making it to my meetings at the appropriate times.
Mine time issues were with webex meetings. Thanks for confirming that it wasn't my system alone.

Under Date & Time Preferences, Apple's automatic time zone setting puts some Aleutian Islands in the wrong time zone.

I've been checking all around to find a source to this problem and it seems to continue leading back to where the problem may be with Apple's time zone referencing software. Some time zone maps incorrectly place all the Aleutian Islands in the Aleutian/Hawaiian Time Zone, but several of the eastern Aleutian Islands should be in the Alaska Time Zone instead. I wonder if Apple's time zone software is referencing an incorrect time map.
Currently, I do a lot of travelling with my laptop and everytime I return home, I have to reset my time preferences to a manual setting. It's a real nuisance which should be unnecessary with todays technology. Any help finding a solution would be appreciated.

Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the Privacy tab.
Make sure: Enable Location Services is selected.
If that was already selected, try this article > About Location Services / Lion

[SOLVED] Gnome's automatic time zone setting never triggers

Whenever I travel across timezones, I need to open Date & Time Settings and turn Automatic Time Zone off and then on again. When I do that, the timezone updates correctly. Is there maybe a super-long refresh interval on that feature by default? Or some optional package I need to install to actually enable it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Last edited by oconnor663 (2015-02-02 20:18:43)

Oh good call, that was off. I'll assume that was the issue. (I guess turning on Automatic Time Zone does one location check irrespective of the setting?)

Location Services: Setting Time Zone... Always Active

Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the always active SETTING TIME ZONE setting in LOCATION SERVICES / SYSTEM SERVICES.
It's always purple - never stops polling for location.
I've noticed a change in the battery life for my iPhone 4 and I think this is the culprit.
Is that setting needed for anything in particular or can it safely be turned off?
Thanks for any advice you have!

Grrrrrr, now (after the iOS 5.0.1 update), this is happening not only on my iPad, but also on my iPhone 4S, which never had the problem on iOS 5.0. So, instead of going from 1 to 0 devices having the problem, I've gone from 1 to 2 after the update! Isn't this the opposite of what was supposed to happen?
Letting the iPhone sleep for a while, shutting it off and turning it back on, resetting it with home+power, all do nothing. Weirdly, it *wasn't* doing this right after I did the update; it only started about a day or so later.
****Update: and now it's off again, but it did come on for about 10 minutes and then turned off again. Hmmmmm. I agree that having the status bar icon enabled is a good idea, to at least be able to see when this happens and disable it if you're in a situation where battery life matters.

Cannot set Time Zone in iPad2 after iOS 7 update

The Time Zone setting keeps on spinning. Any ideas on resolving this in order that I can setup the appropriate time zone?

Perhaps you need to physically trash the preference file. I'm not sure which one it is as I'm not at the Mac right now, but you could try com.apple.preferencepanes.plist. There might be a more specific one relating to the time zone pane itself though.

Time zones being re-written when files are processed from refernced files

I'm having a problem where photos with time zones set are being re-written automatically to whatever time zone my mac is currently set at when Aperture processes them for viewing regardless of the time zone they were set to. This happens as the photos load for viewing (i.e. not on the browser thumbnail view). It does this one at a time and eats up processing time. This seems to only happen (I think) for referenced files stored on my external drive and not those stored in the Aperture library. If I re-set the photos back to the proper time zones using Batch Change, it still happens next time it has to load the photo into memory, again "processing" and again the time zone reset to whatever time zone I'm now in.
Here's the exact situation:
- I've imported several photosets from a Canon 50D. The camera was set to the time zone of the country in question. Let's use India at GMT +5:30 as an example.
- When I import the photos, I also use the time zone presets, setting both the Camera Time and the Actual Time to GMT +5:30.
- I'm importing the photos as referenced files, storing them on an external hard drive.
- So when I first view the photos, the time and date show correct. Again using a real example IMG_0001 shows the date 6/10/10 1:43:31 PM GMT +05:30.
- Now I close Aperture and re-open.
- I open the folder and view the photo. The "loading" message appears at the time and the "processing" message appears on the bottom. (and during this unnecessary processing, it is very slow flipping to the next photo, a serious annoyance in browsing).
- After processing, the photo IMG_0001 now shows the date as 6/10/10 1:43:31 PM GMT +03:00 (the time zone I'm currently in and the one my Mac is currently set to)
- If I close it again and re-set my Mac to say I'm in London at GMT, and re-open, the photo is re-set instead to GMT.
- I can re-set all the dates to the proper time zone using the Batch Change where I again set both the Camera Time and Actual Time to the correct time zone. But when the photo re-loads, it again re-processes and goes back to the date of the Mac. So changes don't seem to stick.
- This appears to happen only to files that are referenced and stored on my external drive, not those stored in the Aperture library.
Has anyone had this problem? Is it a bug or some hidden setting I'm missing? Is there some way to tell Aperture "don't change the dates, ever, unless I do it via batch change"? The problem turns into a major inconvenience in reviewing and editing photos with it taking the extra processing time every photo and messing around the order.

maybe you try this question also in the dedicated Adobe Illustrator Forum, not many inhere (including me) have much experience with Illustrator nor live trace I'm afraid.

UWC + time zone + system time zone

Hello,
I have messaging server 7 running on solaris 10 x86.
when I change my system time zone, the time stamp related to messages received and sent is getting changed, regardless of the time zone set in UWC (global setting).
Is it a correct behaviour or it should have considered the time zone set in the UWC?
Printable view of message in UWC, doesn't show the attachment information in that. is it a product limitation? or there is some configuration for that also.
I have tried on 3 different servers.
Thanks,
Sumant

View events in a different time zone?!?

I see there are older and closed discussions on this questions, long before before Lion and iCloud came into being.
I live in Greece which is European Central Time and this is the time zone my iCal is normally set to, with time zone support turned on.
I was in the US Eastern Seaboard for 4 weeks this past Summer and all my appointments entered while there were entered in EST - or DST, whatever.
According to the iCal Help Menu
"If you create any new events while the main calendar view is shifted to another time zone, the new events take the time zone of the current view. When you switch back to your original time zone, the events created in the shifted time zone retain the shifted time zone setting."
Well, they don't: they appear in whatever time zone the calendar is set to - the correct zone can only be seen if you double click on the event.
Has anyone found a way around this?
And how is one supposed to handle the departure and arrival times for flightsthat croos over time zones?
Sometimes Apple doesn't figure on people encountering these problems: as someone said in an earlier post: do they think they whold wolrd lives on Cupertino time?
