Changing timezone

Hi expert
I want to ask about changing timezone
Since Go Live on January 2008, our production system using the wrong timezone (CET), it should be UTC+7, so we can not view current statistic data on ST03 - it just displays statistics data just for two days ago
I've read this thread [SAP NetWeaver Administrator;, it can be done by changing timezone thru SPRO
My question is: if I change it now, is it impact to the old data? I mean for the accounting reporting last year and current year, like jurnal, balance sheet, income statement, etc
Thanks in advance

I dont think so it will be an issue. (becuase i had made the same mistake a very long back and it did not effect the data.
Regards,
Jazz

Change timezone from command

how to change timezone from command in windows server 2008
Sudhir

Hi,
1. Open an elevated "Command Prompt".
2. Now provide any of following commands:
tzutil /g (To know current time zone)
tzutil /l (To get a list of all available time zones)
tzutil /s time_zone_ID (To change time zone)
Fox example, if you want to set the time zone to "Pacific Standard Time", then the command would be:
tzutil /s "Pacific Standard Time"

Changing timezone in Solaris 9

Hi,
How do I change the timezone (TZ value) for all users without putting it in any profile.
I've made the change in /etc/TIMEZONE but the system takes effect only when you restart it. How do I bring it into effect?
I've read that for Solaris (x86) the default crontab entry /usr/sbin/rtc -c under root id does that. What needs to be done in Solaris 9 for SPARC (9/04)?
Regards

rtc is run in cron as root in order to take care of daylight savings.
The problem with the timezone variable is that its picked up by the init process, which then keeps its value and sends it to any program which its spawns (and since all programs are parents or grandparents of init, all of them will get this value).
You can of course set a value in your shell, and then start up the processes which you want to have the correct timezone, but in order for it to take effect system-wide i'm afraid you need a reboot, unless you can use kmdb to change it somewhere, but that would still leave it at its old value in most applications.

Change timezone in Java-only system

Does anyone know how to change the timezone on a Java-only system?
I have already added the setting "-Duser.timezone=America/Dallas" on the configtool, but when I look at the logs in NWA, it still looks like it is reporting on GMT timezone.
Thanks!

Change timezone in MDM 5.5

Hi All,
Do we have any settings where we can change system timezone & user timezone in MDM 5.5 system.
We have installed MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch 3, Oracle 10g on HP_UX.
Thanks & Regards

Robert, I'll take a shot at this not knowing your environment i.e. version of mars and more importantly is the an LC or GC. If you are trying to change it on the LC you may want to be aware of this:
Issue: GC:LC - Communication issues after time zone change. After initial configuration, if you change the timezone of a communication GC:LC, there may be problems with communications between the GC and LC.
Workaround: If you notice that the Local Controller appears offline, verify that at least 10 minutes have passed since the appliances rebooted. Alternatively, you can jump start the communication by navigating to Admin > Local Controller Management in the Global Controller user interface.
That really applies to older code however you can also keep this in mind, that once you change the time, if it is greater than 30 min the change time commands will reboot the box!
moreover;
ssue: GC:LC - Communication issues after time zone change. After initial configuration, if you change the timezone of a communication GC:LC, there may be problems with communications between the GC and LC.
Workaround: If you notice that the Local Controller appears offline, verify that at least 10 minutes have passed since the appliances rebooted. Alternatively, you can jump start the communication by navigating to Admin > Local Controller Management in the Global Controller user interface.
Sorry if this solution does not fit your environment. Good luck.

Changing timezone in ISE 1.1.2

Hi,
I need to change the timezone of two ISE 1.1.2 servers. One primary and one secondary. Both are set to "EST" timezone and i would like to change
them to AMERICA/Montreal because they are now one hour late since day light saving change.
According to the release notes, it is not recommended to change the timezone on ISE after the installation. I'm thinking of doing a backup
of the ISE application (in the maintenance GUI or CLI) and then changing the timezone on both servers. After the change the ISE servers will gain one hour. So after i will do a restore of the backup i did just before the timezone change. The timestamp of the backups will be older then the current time
of the servers.
Will this work? Is it the best way to change the timezone?
Does anyone run into this issue? How did you fix that? Did you have any problems?
Thanks in advance.

Ive had success with no obvious issues changing time zone on a PSN box. I first broke the join from the PAN server and then did a time zone change. Then rejoin the PSN back to the PAN. Again, I didnt see any issues.
As for the PAN time zone change, I would probably rebuild the box if you didnt feel comfortable. In most cases if you are very fimilar with ISE it take like 30 minutes to put the config back on it ..

Changing TimeZone for Calendar object doesnt change its time

Hy, I have a Calendar object with I have set with a Date but I I want from this calendar with the Date set, set other timezone for this calendar and get the corresponding time(always gettting the correct time if is in daylightsavings) but I get the same time.
Calendar calendario = Calendar.getInstance
calendario.setTime(new Date());
System.out.println(calendario.getTime()); *// for example I get the 14:12:25 hours for GMT+01:00*
calendario.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+02:00")); *//change time zone using GMT*
System.out.println(calendario.getTime()); *// I get the same hour: 14:12:25*
Why? How to do it using GMT format?

Ok, thanks. The last question, this changing of timezone and the hour I am getting, is respecting the timezone daylight saving?, I mean if the TimeZone I set is in daylight savings, I will get the correct hour according to this?What DrClap said.
However, I think you still may be under some misapprehension about time zones:
1. A Date does NOT have a timezone, even though it stores a date/time value.
2. Setting a Calendar's timezone does NOT change the time stored in the Calendar. You may even need to run its complete() or computeFields() method to have the timezone change reflected in all its fields (not sure).
3. As DrClap said, if you are using a DateFormat to display the Calendar, you need to set its* timezone in order to see what you want (for reason 2 above).
It's amazing to me that after 10 years this API still gives so many problems (and believe me, you're not the only one).
One thing you might also want to do is have a look at [url http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/]Joda Time. It's been around for a long time now, and so is quite mature; and is fully interchangeable with standard Java date/time classes. In fact, many of its ideas were under consideration for Java Version 7 as JSR-310, but were decided against (still not quite sure why, as in my view the current API is very poor).

Changing timezones shifts calendar events (N93, E6...

It is commonly accepted that if you arrange a meeting for when you get to New York, you arrange a time for the time zone New York is in, (unless you want to leave your phone at home in England) so why do all the calendar events shift 5 hours automatically when you set your clock to -5 GMT? Has anyone noticed this? Very annoying. I have to ignore the timezone function and simply adjust the clock back a few hours (the phone asks if I have travelled to a different timezone, I have to press NO).

Let me give an example to explain better.
If i've arranged a meeting in New York for 1400hrs (and added a calendar event for 1400hrs) and then fly from UK to New York, I would normally change my phone timezone to the local timezone on arrival, so for example, 1300hrs GMT arriving in New York my timezone would slip back 5 hrs to a local time of 0800hrs.
On opening the phone's calendar, a window then announces that 'time zone changed, calendar entries updated', and hey presto my 1400hrs meeting (and everything else in the calendar) has gone forward 5hrs to 0900hrs.
The event *should* remain at 1400hrs, not to have shifted just because I have changed the time zone of the phone. My Treo never did this, it's quite annoying.

How can I get iphone 4s to change timezone automaticaly?

I have recently bought a new iphone 4S. Software is up to date. Location Services are on. Timezone is set to automatic but it's locked on Sydney. When I travel around the country the time doesn't change whereas my 3G used to change automatically. The only way I can change it is to revert to manual and select where I am and the time. Any ideas? It's very frustrating!

I believe the time zone setting work automatically only in North America. However, most services provide the time setting correctly when you make, or receive a call. Check this with your service provider.

Unable to change timezone through iCloud site when logged in.

Anyone else having same issue?
I click my name once logged in and them select time zone but there is not a way to select the continent I want let alone the state/city timezone.

Try signing out of iCloud and changing the time zone on your computer. Then sign in and move the bar. then double-click. If that fixes it, change you PC's time zone back to the correct zone.

Changed timezone after sync

Hi,
Recently, I am experiencing a strange issue after sync with the blackberry desktop. After sync, my BB (storm2) displays a different day and time and it turns out my timezone has been changed, in my case from Amsterdam to Eniwetok (wherever that might be). Obviously, I checked the settings on both my BB and computer (smae timezones etc). What's wrong ?
Thx,
Mark

Hi there!
I've just found this and it worked over a BB 9780:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-BlackBerry-Functions-and/Time-Zone-Changes/td-p/677/p...
"If your BlackBerry automatically reverts the time zone when connecting to your PC you need to change an option within Desktop Manager. Open DM > click Synchronize > uncheck the option to update date and time when connected."
Good luck!

How to change timezone in B2B to reflect date fields per local time in DB

Hi,
I am in EST zone and I could see the data in database with date columns having time in PST. One of my transaction just errorred , I could see from B2B user interface tool error report message date time as 2:14 EST, while when I check the database values from TOAD the value is 11:14, which indicates there is some setup which might have caused to update Pacific Time in the database, I am not sure what could be the setup. Can anyone please indicate or provide inputs on what could be the cause and how to set up the application so that the date type data is updated with local time in database.
Thanks
Sachin Sutar

Hi Sachin,
We store the message using the database time. It seems like the database time zone is set to PST. To change it to a different time zone, please follow the instructions on this link:

Entries in apps shift when changing timezones

This is not an issue in calendars, but in apps that create entries with timestamps. For example, a TapForms entry with time and date of when I watched a movie, a Gratitude365 entry that records what I was grateful for on Christmas Day, or a PocketMoney expenditure entry with a time and date stamp recording the purchase of a book on my birthday. These are apps where, unlike a calendar, I want the entry to retain the time of the timezone where I created that entry. Unfortunately, all these entries shift based on timezone, so when I move to a different country halfway around the world, suddenly my app shows that I watched a movie on a different day, what I'm grateful for on Christmas appears on Boxing Day, and the book I bought on my birthday appears belatedly as well.
Any ideas on how to make entries appear with the timestamp of the timezone in which I made the entry? Just modifying the entry manually isn't a proper solution, because I've lived for long periods of time in significantly different timezones.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The developers of these apps would have to correctly support time zones. Most make the (incorrect) assumption that people don't move from one time zone to another.
Contact the app developers, as there's nothing you can do to fix their apps.
