Converting UTC time stamp to local time (CET)

Is there a smooth way to convert a time stamp from UTC time into the local time (e.g. CET)?
CONVERT TIME STAMP.... Just converts the timestamp from local time zone to UTC, is there another comand to perform the opposite conversion?
TIA!
/Armin

Hi Armin
The statement does not only convert from local time zone to UTC you can specifiy any timezone:
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
        INTO [DATE dat] [TIME tim]
        [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst].
The following statement can also be used to convert from date time to timestamp.
CONVERT DATE dat [TIME tim [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst]]
        INTO TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz.

Convert Data time stamp to Local Time

Hello,
I want to convert this input to local time EST.
Input:12/8/2006 10:23:00.000000000 PM -06:00
o/p: EST.Local Time

Is the input a string? A timestamp? If so, which flavor of timestamp? Something else?
Normally, you'd want to use a TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE data type for this sort of requirement, since it automatically converts data to the client's time zone. Assuming the input is a string and that the client's time zone is set to EST
1 select cast(to_timestamp_tz( '12/8/2006 10:23:00.000000000 -06:00',

Time stamp and local time stamp

Dear sirs...
i am a little confused about the time stamp datatype and how to handle it in my applications. i want to display the time for every user in its time zone. so the fields in the database are timestamp with local time zone. is this correct?
i want it to be such that if one stores the time in USA time , the other can display that same data in UK time.

Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST in IC

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. We are using IC WEB Employee interaction center.
so when agent create service ticket in interaction center and close the ticket on same day we are getting an error saying Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST.
we thought there may be problem while installing SAP CRM by basis team in time zone, but we did not find any problem.
So please advice how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Teja

Hi Teja,
I saw a similar message, and it was resolved by adding a timezone to the user profile defaults tab in SU3. I believe the system has been configured to convert between users' timezone and the system timezone, therefore it needs to know each users' timezone.

Convert system time into User local time.

Hi,
How to convert System time into User Local time.
Are there any FMs available.
Regards,
Kiran

hi,
There is just one simple funda behind the Date and time logic in SAP.
-> It is absolutely useless to store Date and time directly in DB. Why ?
Because 00:00 a.m in London could mean 05:30 in India !! So If I (in India) store a Date 1st Feb 2008 , 10:00 a.m .. This time for a person in London could be invalid.. because he is behind your time zone..
So the solution is to store the date/times in Timestamps format. Taking the above example.. 1st Feb 2008, 10:00 a.m (in India) will be stored as 20080201043000.
This time if seen in German Time zone will look as : 1st Feb 2008, 05:30 a.m.
Simple right
-> In India we store date as DD.MM.YYYY while in other countries they store it as MM.DD.YYYY.
The separator could be . or - or / .
The date format is user dependent. I might prefer to store it as DD.MM.YYYY and you might want to store it as MM-DD-YYYY.
System does not bother what your format is. It always stores in YYYYMMDD (8 Char)
On screens if you want to display Date then it must always be shown in that users format who is seeing it. How to get this done ?
DATA : lv_date(10) type c.
write sy-datum into lv_date.
So in LV_DATE variable the date will be stores in the users format.
Simple right
There are function modules that do the same. But normally we should avoid use of FM to make code simpler, short and easy... no complications at all ..
You can use system variables sy-datlo (Local Date for Current User) and sy-timlo ( Local Time of Current User ).
You can also use GET TIME statement.

Time difference between local time and server time

Hi Guys,
I am currently experiencing a time difference of 40 minutes between the local time and the current server time.
The local time seems to be 40 minutes slower than my current time.
Path for Local Time : CMC -> home -> servers -> input.file repository sever -> metrics tab. (Under the category of Installed on machine peacok, there is a local time.
Question is how can i sync the local time with my current server time?
Let me know if more info is required.
Rgds
Collin

Hi Collin,
Under CMC >Home >Input FRS , the local time shown is current time of BO Server.
Since CMC is web-based, any date, time value will be coming from BO Server box.
u2022     In case your system and BO server is in same time zone then update the date-time of BO Server
u2022     In case your system and BO server is in different time zone then check with IT team to figure out the BO Server will be maintained in which time zone.
u2022     If current requirement is specific to some report then you can add 40 min in all date value in report to get the desired result.
Thanks,
Sushil

Convert unix time stamp to readable time with daylight saving

Hello NG,
I have a table that has a column containing time stamps in the unix time format (seconds since 1970). If I show these times to the user, they should be converted to some readable format. I'm using the following sql code as an example:
select to_char(
to_timestamp_tz(
to_char(
to_date('01011970','ddmmyyyy') + 1/24/60/60 * 1086508800,
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')||' Europe/Warsaw',
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS TZR'),
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS TZH:TZM')
from dual;
The output I get is the following:
TO_CHAR(TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ(TO
2004-06-06 08:00:00 +02:00
The output is right, but the format I need is the following:
2004-06-06 10:00:00
How do I have to alter the statement to get the correct result (add the two hours of the timezone and dst to the time)?
Any help is appreciated.

HELP - How to Convert Date in GMT to Local time in Applet

Hi All
Is there a way to convert a date from GMT format into a local time say IST in my Java applet, this GMT date is coming from a postgresql database.
Thanks in advance
Swaraj

Try this with your customization:
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format0 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
java.util.Calendar cal0 = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT"));
java.util.Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone((int)(5.5*60*60*1000), "IST"));
format0.setCalendar(cal0);
format1.setCalendar(cal1);
java.util.Date date = format0.parse("2003-01-25 00:15:30");
java.lang.String formatted = format1.format(date);
System.out.println(formatted);

Appending and add time stamp at a time........

Hi all,
i am working on a scenario...
it is file based..no mapping and bpm can be used.
I need to pick up file through xi and append it and put in the target with time stamp to it.
we can achieve this if mapping or bpm is allowed.....
But,in file processing we can use only one option at a time.....
I found a way:
scenario one: files will be appened and kept in a temparory folder
using another scenario we will pick up the appeneded file and add time stamp and keep in target structure...
but i dont think this is advisable...
please suggest me any other ways to achieve this...(can run operating system command be helpfull??)
thanks in advance..
Regards,
Kiran.

HI,
Yes you are right, Appending and adding Time Stamp will not be possible simultaneously.
Refer - this could help you
Dynamic Filename with TimeStamp
Dynamic Filename with TimeStamp
/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping
But some how you have to use mapping for it. Then if its allowed to use the mapping then as you have suggested, should have to go for two scenarios. No alternative,
Probably also you can try with Customized Adapter Module for this.

Maintenance Windows Set to Use UTC Time Actually Using Local Time on Client

Hey All -
When patching servers last month, we ran into an issue on a couple of collections. This month, it's occurring on all of them so far.
The Issue
We have about 40 collections for various server groups. Each has a single maintenance window set for roughly a 4 hour window using UTC time.
When advertising a task sequence (or something else) to run only inside of the window, it fails. Examining the execmgr.log shows the error: "CExecutionRequest::The program may never run because of Service Window restrictions."
If I open SCCM Client Center, connect to one of the systems, and view Service Windows, I see that they are set, but were set using the hours I set but as if I did not choose UTC when I did. We are in CST which is a 5-06 hour difference therefore it
fails to deploy.
Only Fix So Far
The only fix found so far is to delete the maintenance window and re-create it using the exact same settings. After this is done and policy refreshes, Client Center shows the windows correctly.
The problem with the above fix is that at some point, they seemingly are being corrupted again as some which were fixed last month seem to must be re-created again this month.
Screenshots / Logs
Maintenance Window
8:00PM in our timezone should make it start at 2:00PM CST

Converting EPOCH time stamp to time stamp in Oracle

Hi,
I need a help regarding how to convert the epoch Time stamp, to oracle date and time format.
for example,
for epoch time stamp:1204104116656
the time stamp should be :2008-02-13 12:43:00.351
Thanks in Advance
Basil Abraham

Are you sure you've got the right timestamp? Assuming this is a standard unix epoch time stamp with the epoch date starting at 1970-01-01 UTC the interval between 1970-01-01 UTC and 2008-02-13 is 13922 days, but your epoch timestamp divided by the number of miliseconds in a day 1204104116656/(1000*60*60*24) comes out to 13936.390... days a difference of 14 days 9 hours 21 minutes 56 seconds and 656 miliseconds.
Anyway to convert you need to convert your epoch date into an interval and add it to the starting epoch date (as a timestamp):
select to_timestamp_tz('1970-01-01 utc', 'yyyy-mm-dd tzr')+
numtodsinterval(1204104116656/1000,'second') dstamp

Conversion between local time and UTC: Anomaly at Daylight saving time edge

Hi all,
I want to convert back and forth between local time including all peculiarities like DST etc. This is the core of my code:
    Date d=new Date(toEpoch());
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(tz);
    cal.setTime(d);
    int offs=(cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    System.out.println("zone_offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+", dst_offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET )+", offset: "+offs);
    Calendar cal2=Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Etc/UTC"));
    System.out.println(cal2.getTimeZone().getID());
    cal2.setTime(d);
    cal2.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND,-offs);
    d=cal2.getTime();Looks (and, actually, is) rather complicated. I take two different calendar objects to be absolutely sure that no accidental DST conversion hits me on the UTC side.
The general case works as expected:
Date (fourteen digits, 'x'=Exit): 20050909190000
Entered date: Fr, 9.9.2005, 19:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Etc/UTC
Date in UTC: Fr, 9.9.2005, 17:00I live in timezone Europe/Berlin, so during DST we have GMT+2. Let's see what's happening on christmas (non-DST):
Date (fourteen digits, 'x'=Exit): 20051224180000
Entered date: Sa, 24.12.2005, 18:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Etc/UTC
Date in UTC: Sa, 24.12.2005, 17:00As expected!
Now, we enter the dark zone of DST: Each year DST is turned on and off and it seems as if this leads to problems in both cases. Let's start with the next event of this case: At Oct., 30th, 2005, DST is turned off between 2:00 and 3:00 at night. So, we have once 2:30 with DST and (one hour later) 2:30 again without DST. Java, however, garbles things completely (I'm leaving the unneeded lines of my debug output out now):
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 01:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: Sa, 29.10.2005, 23:59
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:30
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:30
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:59
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 03:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00So, directly before the DST change, offset is computed correctly. From 3:00 onward, also. But in between, Calendar does neither take an offset of two hours (what would be somehow correct) nor one hour (also somehow correct). Even though it predicts to take the one-hour zone offset into consideration, "GMT" time is actually the same as local time.
Things become even wireder at the other edge of the DST time range: This year, DST began on March, 27th, 2005: Let's see what is happening:
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 01:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:59
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:00
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:30
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:30
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000

zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:00
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 04:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 01:59
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 05:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 03:00While at 1:59, everything is ok, 2:00 is handled as within DST. That's ok, as the hour between 2:00 and 3:00 did not exist in that night in our local time zone, but at 3:00 the system totally screws up things as it suddenly subtracts three hours (while pretending to use two hours). This goes on until 5:00 in the morning when time is shown correctly again.
Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong? How do I actually convert correctly between a DST-aware local time zone and GMT/UTC?
Best regards,
Dirk

Well, I would not say I did "just about everything" wrong. Actually, Calendar is not GMT-only as it has time zone information and converts its internal time according to that information if I use the getTime() function (what I do).
In my applications, I handle dates in my own data structures. My EDate object (which is part of the QJCC library hosted on SourceForge) stores years, months, days, minutes, hours, and seconds seperately. Using this class, I managed to get an actually working time zone conversion this way:
public void toUTC(TimeZone tz) {
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(tz);
    cal.clear();
    cal.set(year,month-1,day,hour,minute,second);
    int offs=(cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    //System.out.println("zone offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+", DST offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    second-=(offs/1000);
    normalize();
normalize() does something similar to the lenient stuff in Calendar.
I will now write the method for the other direction. The most interesting item will be the answer to the question:
"Tell me the correct DST_OFFSET in TimeZone X when I have the actual point of time given in UTC."
Perhaps someone can give me a hint?!?
