Day light Savings new rules affect SAP installs?

How is the new Daylight Savings rule going to affect / effect SAP?
"In 2007, U.S. Daylight Saving Time (DST) will begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.  This change in the schedule -- the first in 20 years -- will make U.S. Daylight Saving Time four weeks longer.  The U.S. Energy Act of 2005 drove this change, which is intended to reduce energy consumption.  While the business risk associated with having our systems reflect the wrong time by one hour for four weeks in 2007 is not as great as Y2K, the extent of the IT impact is not trivial and may impact clients in the U.S, as well as in non-U.S. geographies. "
Thanks,
Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,
Daylight Savings Time dates are different all over the world and a change in dates in one country does not directly affect SAP.  There are steps that need to be taken regardless of the exact date that the change falls on each year.  Please see SAP Notes 7417, 950114, 438660, 102088, 398374, 673556, 643844 and others (just search Notes with keywords "Daylight Savings Time").
Best Regards,
Matt

  • Day Light Savings

    This is in response to the Day light savings Bug where by the recurring alarms go off 1 hour before they should. Some people say for a work-around just don't make it recurring or put the alarm an hour back. I think I may have another solution but would like confirmation that it works.
    I HAD the problem till i went to every alarm I had set and edited them by changing the alarms to the opposite AM/PM Saved, then went back in and Re-set them back to their correct AM/PM setting (eg. 6:00am changed to 6:00pm SAVE, 6:00pm changed to 6:00am SAVE). That worked for me, can anyone else confirm that fixed the problem?
    Thx

    I thought the day light savings / summer time adjustment was set according to your home location? When first powering on the phone, it should ask you where you are (eg london uk) and it will use the rules for that location to adjust the time.
    Bit **bleep** if it doesn't.. I can't think of any other good reason for asking where you were other than locale stuff.. 
    Try setting Time zone under date & time settings (settings -> phone -> date & time) which might kill auto updating.. It is such a simple thing to get right, but Nokia does have a history of screwing it up quite badly.. 
    I remember using a nokia 7650 (first s60 phone) and it set the timezone to something impossible.. like GMT+36?!?! crazy times.. 

  • Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?, Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?, Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Greetings,
    I have not heard of that issue although some people have reported events showing an hour earlier / later (though I haven't seen that personally).
    Questions:
    What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    Can you make an event and then it just disappears?
    Are you using iCloud / MobileMe / Google / Yahoo / Some other server based calendar?
    Try these in order:
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Date & Time and make sure the Date and Time are correct and that the correct Time Zone is selected.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPhone time hasn't changed with end of day lights savings?

    Hi, has anyone else had trouble with an iPhone not automatically changing with the end of day lights savings last night (Aus time)?  My other devices have changed ok, just not the iPhone.  I have tried syncing and that hasn't worked.  Any suggestions on how to change the time would be appreciated. It is an old iPhone. With thanks,

    Thanks. Yes, Date & Time was set to automatically.  However, I have since turned the device off and then back on and that seems to have reset it.  Thanks again.

  • Date Component not to consider Timezone Day Light Savings

    Hi,
    when i use a input date component with timestamp .. where my local system timezone is Eastern Standard time (US)
    Now i am selecting a date of 10 March 2013 with time 02:00:00 am , but in the text field after the selection, i am getting the date and time as 10 mar 2013 01:00:00
    It is moving one hour back because day light saving occurs between 2 am to 3 am during this time of the year.
    Same for 11 Mar 2012 02:00:00, day light saving does not occur on one particular day of the year... sometimes its 11 mar , 10 mar, 12 mar.. but everytime between 2 am to 3 am.
    Now i am using a zulu standard time for which i have used this date component, i dont want this day light saving to be considered and change the time i enter during day light
    saving period, it should give me the time that i have chosen
    Is there any component in Jdev where it takes the value which we give or how can we build it where the date component comes with the time and does not change.
    Thanks,

    No this is not working, any other way
    I am using jdev 11.1.1.5

  • Day light savings URGENT

    I have a flat file with one of the field 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS DY' that has to be processed for conversion from cst to gmt.
    Did this by loading the table with two columns col1, and col2 having the same field and then doing an update to one of the columns using new_time functions with CST/CDT and GMT.
    But how to know when to run CDT and when to run CST. What I mean is what is the logic to get to know the cut of day for daylight saving start and end for each year.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    This is a function that will determine if the date provided is within the Daylight Savings Time.
    You will have to taylor to meet your requirement, since this only returns a message.
    create or replace function CST_CDT
          (p_Date IN  Date ) return Varchar2 is
    v_Oct_Date Date;
    v_Apr_Date Date;
    v_year     Varchar2(4) := to_char(p_Date,'YYYY') ;
    begin
    v_Apr_Date := (To_Date('01-Apr-'||v_year,'dd-mon-yyyy')
                        + (7-Replace(To_Number(To_char(To_Date('01-Apr-'||v_year,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'D') ),1,8)+1) )
                     + (2/24) ;
    v_Oct_Date := (last_day(To_Date('01-oct-'||v_year,'dd-mon-yyyy'))
                       - to_number(to_char(last_day(to_date('01-oct-'||v_year,'dd-mon-yyyy')),'D') )+1 )
                     + (2/24) - (1/86400) ;
    if p_Date between v_Apr_Date and V_Oct_Date  Then
        RETURN 'Daylight Savings';
    else
        RETURN 'NOT Daylight Savings';
    end if;
    end;
    Select CST_CDT(sysdate)  from dual;
    CST_CDT(SYSDATE)

    select CST_CDT(sysdate - 30) from dual;

  • Day light savings not updated, day light savings not updated

    I have a G2 Ipod...and it has not updated for the change in time for daylight savings. Yes, I have the correct time zone listed.  Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hello Vijay,
    I don't think you need to shutdown the system, but note the following :
    - Time zones on mainframe can be set on LPAR level only
    - It is not possible to set different time zones for different databases running on the same LPAR
    - It is required to run database and application servers in the same time zone (see DBA guide)
    https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000275902011E.PDF
    - It is required to have identical time zones for the application servers and SAP system time (see note 198411)
    - Time zone can be changed for individual users in SU01 (or by the user
    himself)

  • Do I have to manually change my iPhone 4 alarms for day light savings times end?

    Will I have to manually change my alarms for daylight savings time ends?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I didn't
    my clock changed to wintertime
    and my alarms and appointments use timespans so they start at lets say 14:00 no matter if I go to usa and adjust my clock to match their time or if I go to china and adjust my time to match their time

  • ICal meetings off by 1 hour when accepted in Mail since day light savings time

    As off the hour adjustment when I accept a meeting using the Mail App they are off by one hour in Calendar.  If I accept the meetings on my iPhone they populate properly.  I have verified my time zone settings, and even have the time zone option enabled.  Searching the forums I see this has been an ongoing issue, but I'm not finding an actual solution to resolve the issue.
    Thanks for pointing me to the solution.  I'm using a MacBook Pro with version 10.9.2 and Mail version 7.2 (1874) and Calendar version 7.0 (1841).  There are no updates available when I check.
    Thanks again!

    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.

  • Day light saving changes in UCCX scripting.

    Hi, We are using UCCX version 8.X  and we have script like press 1 to go shangai tem, press 2 to go to US team like that.
    In the time of day light saving we are doing manual changes in time of day settings manually when ever the location day light savings changes.
    so is there a way to the script refer the local time zone according to the region day light savings.
    or the reqired OS patched time zone patches will solve the problem please suggests.
    Thank you.
    Baskaran.

    Hi,
    UCCX uses its own time in the server to lookup the time. you need to configure the proper timezone for your UCCX. if shangai and US change start using daylight saving at the same date, you don't need to change your script. if not, unfortunately you need to change the time in the script itself.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • EDM price profile upload process and Day light saving issue

    we have a requirement to upload EDM price profile (with 60 min interval).  Which are the function module or BAPI's are there to upload the price profile in EDM. Also which table holds this dat. I guess it is EPROFVAL60 and can be seen using transaction EEDM01.
    Also, there is a scenario of DST (day light saving- US client) mean sometime there will be 23hrs value or sometime 25 value. How to handle this. I guess all this price value store in table EPROFVAL60 (hourly value) but the structure of this table can take 24 hrs value. Any suggestion on this.

    In the profile header there is the field u201CTime Zoneu201D. There the specification of
    Time Zone for EDM Objects is possible, e. g. where an installation is billed or profile data is displayed.
    The configuration in IMG u2013 customizing leads to the transaction STZAC and STZBC.
    This updates the tables: TTZD - Summer time rules or TTZDV - Summer time rules (variable dates)
    Please watch the OSS notes frequently, since there are some updates lately.
    Kind regards, Tom
