COREid and Daylight Savings Time for 2007

Do COREid or any of its components require any special fix in order to comply or function properly with the new Daylight Savings Time for 2007?
Background:
In August of 2005 the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act,
which changes the dates of both the start and end of daylight saving time
(DST). When this law goes into effect in 2007, DST will start three weeks
earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later
(2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November) than what had traditionally
occurred.
Thanks,
Craig

We have experienced many problems with DST and COREid in the past; most of them resulting in hung Access server and unavailability. I don't know if it's because we have components distributed across multiple time zones or what. Our plan is to have someone available at the time change to cycle the services (and maybe the server as a whole) and do a health check after the fact. I hope this helps.

  • CF MX and Daylight Savings Time Change

    Next year 2007, the Daylight Saving day (chaning the clocks
    for spring and fall) will be changing. The Spring date will be a
    month earlier and the fall date a month later then it has been for
    years.
    How will the Cold Fusion Server for MX 7+ handle this? Will
    it use the server time or use the internal CF Server clock?
    Thanks.

    My problem is that now CFMX 6.1 thinks that it is 8 hours
    later in the day
    than it really is (it is stuck on GMT now) and I am unable to
    get CFMX to
    acknowledge the operating systems clock. :-(

  • Daylight Savings Time for the USA

    I am trying to add a new entry for the new daylight savings time change implemented in the United States in a 4.6C system.  I am trying to make the change per SAP note 919538. 
    The problem is when I go into transaction STZBC, and try to add a new entry for the USA, after I input what was stated in the SAP note and try to save the new entry, I receive an error "Choose the key from the allowed name space".
    How have others implemented this change?  I am unsure of modifying the entry that is there already for the USA since the sap note says to add a new entry.
    Regards,
    Doug Slupski

    Hi Doug
    Isn't this message informational only?? It does not show as an Error. If you hit Enter a couple of times, it should go thru...
    I am not sure if it will wipe out the previous entry under the Key "USA"from the table.
    Make a note of the previous values before u hit enter.  After you have made the change, check if it overwrote that value.
    If not, then you should be fine..If yes, chnage the value under USA to he original values and open up an OSS message.
    Hope that helps..
    Thanks

  • Has anyone had problems in v5.0a of Iplanet calendar installed on a Sun box with creating events and daylight savings time?

    Events created around 4/6/2002 at 8pm get created with the wrong time (9pm) and there are several other creation and display problems tied to Daylight Savings in April and October. Version 5.1 of the software seems to fix that but we are looking for a fix until we can upgrade. We have been using Windows systems to access the calendar.
    Thanks.

    We have not seen exactly this, but many users appointments are lining up in the wrong time slots. Also, when scheduling, the time display is off by an hour. We have found what looks like a temporary fix.
    We noticed that the problem only affects users who have the start of the week set to Sunday (when daylight savings time started). Setting the week to start on Monday fixed our display problems (you can do it in the users, options section).
    I am placing a support call w/SUN.

  • E-Load/e-ME and Daylight Savings Time Change

    If you are using e-TEST suite versions 8.10 or older, please see the following knowledge base article on updating your JRE for e-Load and e-Manager Enterprise.
    http://qazone.empirix.com/entry.jspa?externalID=201&categoryID=15
    (you must be logged into QAZone to view this link)
    It is recommended that e-Load and e-Manager Enterprise customers update the JRE on their e-Load and e-ME server machines using the SUN JRE patch referenced in the article.
    e-TEST suite version 8.20 which is releasing this week does not require any update.

  • Energy Act of 2005 and Daylight Savings Time

    We currently use Sun Studio compilers. We use the embedded tools.h RogueWave libraries. The Energy Act of 2005 changes the dates for Daylight Savings Time starting in 2007. Will there be any patches from Sun to handle this? We currently use RWZoneSimple which is extensible, but we were hoping for an update from Sun.
    Thanks in advance. Sorry if this has been covered, I just couldn't find anything.
    Further Reading:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005

    The RW Tools.h++ library that comes with Sun Studio has been updated with the new DST rules. I don't think the patches have been released yet.
    If you have a service contract with Sun, you can get a pre-release version of the patch via your support channel.
    Otherwise, check the Sun Studio patch page from time to time
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/index.jsp
    Look for a C++ compiler patch that includes a fix for bug 6456479.
    RW Tools.h++ does its own DST calculations. Other libraries rely on the Solaris functions in libc. Patches for Solaris are available now as follows:
    S10 - 118833-24(sparc), 118855-19(x86)
    (The fix is included in S10u2.)
    S 9 - 112874-34(sparc), 114432-24(x86)
    S 8 - 108993-62(sparc), 108994-62(x86)

  • CF MX and Daylight Savings Time

    Hi. We have ColdFusion MX Version 6,1,0,83762 installed on

  • CUE timezone and daylight savings time

    Hi,
    Having issue where CUEs don't seem to be adjusting for daylight savings time. Timezone is set correct to EST but is a hour off because its daylight savings time now. The router and CUE are configured to use same NTP server and router has summertime setting and adjusts for DST fine and has correct time but CUE is a hour behind, like it is not doing DST.
    Were on version 2.2(2) of CUE software.
    This is also in indiana where the laws changed recently so maybe that has something to do with this.
    Any ideas?

    Very likely due to the change in Indiana. A workaround would be to change the timezone to an EST zone that observes DST such as America/Louisville (Eastern Time - Kentucky - Louisville Area).
    Hope this helps.

  • SimpleDateFormat and Daylight Savings Time

    I am trying to parse into a Date "April 15 1999" with "MMM d YYYY" using SimpleDateFormat. This string parses w/out error and the resulting Date is: Thu Apr 15 00:00:00 PST 1999. This is correct in that I am in California. The problem is that 4/15 is Daylight Savings Time in 1999. The getTimeZone result for the parent DateFormat is "SystemV/PST8PDT". I have wrestled with this for over a day now, I admit it, I need help.
    Anyone have any ideas what could be happening here?
    Thanks
    Roger

    When I run BigDaddy's code I get MST for the TZ (which is correct, my default is Mountain TZ and we don't observe DST. By this I surmise that BDLH's default is Pacific TZ and that it observes DST. The following code shows the setting of the TZ to "America/Los_Angeles" and produces the correct result. Windows XP.
    import java.text.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class PTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy");
            Date dte = sdf.parse("April 15 1999");
            System.out.println(dte);
            SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy zzzz");
            sdf2.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles"));
            System.out.println(sdf2.format(dte));

  • All-day calendar entries and daylight savings time

    Since changing to daylight savings time, whenever I change the date on an all-day calendar entry, my iPad (but not my iPhone) changes the one-day calendar entry to a two-da calendar entry. How do I correct this?

    Dates are represented internally with a long that represents the number of milliseconds past some fixed point. Timezones do not affect this.
    I'm assuming you're getting your dates as java.sql.Date
    You should then build a Calendar (see GregorianCalendar) and call setTimeZone() with your timezone without daylight savings

  • Calendar and Daylight Savings Time

    I'm trying to use Calendar objects to store month, day, year information for use in date comparisons/calculations. (e.g. how many days between 1/1/06 and 2/1/06) My program knows nothing of hours, seconds, minutes, etc. and it really doesn't care about them.
    That being said, the concept of hour has been cropping up since Calendar automatically throws in an extra hour here and there for DST. In very specific circumstances it can cause an incorrect value.
    So to solve this I decided to turn off DST but that seems to be more complicated than it should be. My solution was to create a SimpleTimeZone that has DST disabled and use that as the time zone in my Calendar. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. It now subtracts an hour every now and then (for some strange reason).
    So is there any way I'm not seeing in the API to just simply disable DST?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok here's a minimal example of what I'm taking about:
    import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    public class Test {
         public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception {
              SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yy" );
              format.setLenient( false );
              GregorianCalendar testCal1 = new GregorianCalendar();
              testCal1.setTime( format.parse( "10/29/2006" ) ); //One day before DST switch
              GregorianCalendar testCal2 = new GregorianCalendar();
              testCal2.setTime( format.parse( "10/30/2006" ) ); //After DST switch
              long time1 = testCal1.getTimeInMillis();
              long time2 = testCal2.getTimeInMillis();
              System.out.println( time2 - time1 );
    }The output of the program is 90000000.
    Using some basic math you can calculate that the time between a single day should be 86400000 milliseconds. The difference between the result and the theoretical time between two days is exactly 1 hour.

  • Oracle TimeZones and Daylight savings time

    Hi,
    I am working on converting a bunch of old data to a new system. I ran a couple of validation reports for the end user to verify, it seems the times were off. I am in the EST but it seems the times in the db were stored as UTC.
    So when you convert the time from UTC to EST you need to subtract 5 hours but when it is DST you only subtract 4.
    I need to know how to figure out if a time was entered in DST or EST and then I can use something like a decode to decide how much to subtract.
    DST Rules:
    Stone Age -- 2006 First Sunday in April ,Last Sunday in October
    2007 -- present DST Begins 2 a.m. (Second Sunday in March)      DST Ends 2 a.m. (First Sunday in November)
    Here is part of my select statment:
    to_date(to_char(asgn.start_date-5/24,'DD-MON-YYYY')) effective_from,
    I looked at Ask Tom and other sites but could not find a good working example that didn't have a hard coded date. Maybe it is not possible in a select statement.
    Thanks so much for any help you can provide !!!! :)

    I don't see how it possibly can. A DATE datatype does not contain timezone. See the definition of what it contains in the SQL Language doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
    >
    12
    DATE
    Valid date range from January 1, 4712 BC, to December 31, 9999 AD. The default format is determined explicitly by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter or implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY parameter. The size is fixed at 7 bytes. This datatype contains the datetime fields YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND. It does not have fractional seconds or a time zone.
    >
    So that DATE value has NO way of knowing what the timezone of the process that entered it was.
    And depending on the meaning of that DATE column you don't even know for sure if the date value represents a date in that process's timezone. I can enter a date representing '01-Jan-2007' but that date doesn't necessarily mean it belongs to my timezone.

  • IPod clock and daylight savings time...

    I've missed a lunch appointment today because of my iPod!! It looks like a bug to me.
    I arrived in SFO from South Africa and used my iPod clock this morning - it turned out to be an hour slow. When I looked at the clock, I saw that 'daylight saving' was turned off. This seems to be the default if you add a new clock.
    Why on earth would anybody want to have the wrong time when they create a new clock for a new city???
    Has anybody else seen this bug?
    I have checked the 'settings' section and there I had daylight saving turned on, so I don't think this should have happened.

    I think that you're telling me that the bug is worse than I thought!!
    Yes, daylight saving is artificial (all time measurement is, but that's another matter). That isn't the point, though. When I add a new city clock it is because I'm likely to be going there soon, or talking to somebody there, and I want the time to be correct. I have no idea if the place has, or has not, DST, and I don't care - I just want the clock to know and get it right.
    I think you're telling me that the iPod clocks don't download DST tables periodically to make sure that they have them correct (because they change from time to time).
    This means that the iPod clocks are not just useless, but dangerous. There ought to be a warning on the iPod saying - don't use this clock for anything you rely on because it may not know the correct time!!!
    I do hope you are wrong. Surely the clocks check and download the tables every time you connect to iTunes - surely!! Nobody could have been so irresponsible as to offer clocks that don't actually work...

  • Java and daylight savings time

    I just tricked my OS into thinking it is DST but setting the date ahead a bit. After checking, my OS DOES think it is currently DST (with a date of April 3). However, Java doesn't seem to get it!
    For example, take the following two lines of code:
              TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central");
              System.out.println(tz.getDefault().getDisplayName());
    "Central Standard Time" is displayed. Well, it isn't CST, it's CDT. Why doesn't java see this? Am I doing something wrong?

    Ok, that's fine and dandy. However, when I run the following code (when my machine is in CDT):
              SimpleDateFormat format0 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd z HH:mm:ss");//z means timezone
              SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss z");//pattern is arbitrary
              Calendar cal0 = Calendar.getInstance();
              format0.setCalendar(cal0);
              format1.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
              //Date date = null;
    try {     Date date = format0.parse("2005-01-25 EST 19:15:30"); //zone EST
              String formatted = format1.format(date);
              System.out.println(formatted); }
    The time is formatted and printed as if my computer was in CST. My question is as follows:
    How in the hell do I pass a time from one time zone, and return it formatted according to another timezone taking DST into account? Clearly, the code above does not do that. Java certainly doesn't make DST easy. Oh, and if it's easy to you, perhaps you can explain.
