Daylight Saving Time Patch

Hi,
I'm using instantclient-basic-solaris32-10.2.0.2. Does anyone know if I need to patch this client for the Daylight Saving Time change coming up?
Thanks.

Hi,
Time zone and DST information are only used in TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE (TSLTZ) and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE (TSTZ) datatypes, and not for any other datatype. If TSLTZ or TSTZ types are not used there is no requirement to make any updates to the time zone rules.
For more information, you should read Metalink Doc ID 359145.1

Daylight Saving Time Patch in 10.2.0.4

Question:
When you apply the 10.2.0.4 patch (linux-64 bit), does this patch include the daylight saving time patch that needed to be applied in earlier releases?

I know that. I was looking for the readme file but my metalink account did not have access to it. I was hoping that the forum would fill in the gap for me.
In this situation, I should have installed the 10.2.0.1 database, then the DST patch and then the 10.2.0.4. Instead, I got ahead of myself and did the 10.2.0.4 patch first. I was just wondering if the DST patch was included in the 10.2.0.4 by now. The good news is that I had my metalink updatred so I have access to the readme file now. I'm glad you knew the answer. Oh wait, you don't.

App. Servers Patches (Fix) for U.S. Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007

Hi --
I am having an issue with Oracle 10g Application Server (9.2.0.4 and 10.1.2) and BEA Weblogic (8.1.4) upgrading their corresponding JDK's to resolve the Daylight Saving Time Changes. Right now these app servers are using SUN jdk version, whcih prone to the DST issue, less that JDK 1.4.2.11.
The details about the DST can be found at this location:

Any patch for US Daylight Saving Time 2007

Do anybody know which Patch of Oracle 9i and 10g will solve US Daylight Saving Time issue 2007

Version 4 is the latest version of the time zone file. It is not available on all platforms yet. Check patch 5632264 to see if it is available for your platform.

Conversion mapping is losing time zone data during daylight saving time

We have a problem with conversion of Calendars to timestamp with timezone for the last hour of Daylight Saving Time (e.g. 01:00 EDT - 01:59 EDT) where it is being interpreted as Standard Time which is in reality 60 minutes later.
We've written a JUnit test case that runs directly against TopLink to avoid any issues with WAS and its connection pooling.
The Calendar theDateTime comes from an object called TimeEntry which is mapped to a TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE field using conversion mapping with Data Type TIMESTAMPTZ (oracle.sql) and Attribute Type Calendar (java.util).
We are using:
Oracle TopLink - 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) (Build Patch for Bugs 5145690 and 5156075)
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Oracle JDBC driver Version: 10.2.0.1.0
platform=>Oracle9Platform
Execute this Java:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm z");
TimeZone tzEasternRegion = TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Eastern");
Calendar theDateTime = Calendar.getInstance(tzEasternRegion);
theDateTime.setTime(format.parse("10/29/2006 01:00 EDT"));
Persist to the database and execute this SQL:
SELECT the_date_time, EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
FROM time_table WHERE time_table_id=1
This provides the following results:
THE_DATE_TIME EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
29-OCT-06 01.00.00.000000 AM US/EASTERN US/Eastern EST -5
The wrong time zone is in the database. It should be EDT -4. Let's test the SQL that should be generated by TopLink. It should look like the following.
Execute this SQL:
UPDATE time_table SET the_date_time = TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('10/29/2006 01:00 US/Eastern','mm/dd/yyyy HH24:MI TZR') WHERE (time_table_id=1)
SELECT the_date_time, EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
FROM time_table WHERE time_table_id=1
This provides the same results:
THE_DATE_TIME EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
29-OCT-06 01.00.00.000000 AM US/EASTERN US/Eastern EST -5
Now, execute this SQL:
UPDATE time_table SET the_date_time = TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('10/29/2006 01:00 EDT US/Eastern','mm/dd/yyyy HH24:MI TZD TZR') WHERE (time_table_id=1)
SELECT the_date_time, EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time), EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
FROM time_table WHERE time_table_id=1
This provides better results:
THE_DATE_TIME EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_REGION FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM the_date_time) EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_HOUR FROM the_date_time)
29-OCT-06 01.00.00.000000 AM US/EASTERN US/Eastern EDT -4
The correct time zone is now in the database. Let's test reading this with the following Java:
System.out.println("cal= " + theDateTime);
System.out.println("date= " + theDateTime.getTime());
System.out.println("millis= " + theDateTime.getTimeInMillis());
System.out.println("zone= " + theDateTime.getTimeZone());
This provides the following results:
cal= java.util.GregorianCalendar[...]
date= Sun Oct 29 01:00:00 EST 2006
millis= 1162101600000
zone= sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="US/Eastern",...]
The TimeZone object is correct since we are using the US/Eastern regional time zone, but the millis are wrong which makes the time EST instead of EDT. The millis should be 1162098000000.
The conversion from java.util.Calendar to TIMESTAMPTZ loses the actual offset when setting to a regional time zone. It can maintain this info by specifying it explicitly.
The conversion from TIMSTAMPTZ to java.util.Calendar also loses the actual offset even if the correct offset is in the database.
Has anyone else encountered this conversion problem? It appears to be a conversion problem in both directions. I know that the Calendar is lenient by default and will assume Standard Time if time is entered during the repeated 1 o'clock hour at the end of Daylight Saving Time, but the Calendars we are using are explicit in their time, so this would be classified as data corruption.

Opened an SR. Looks like there is a problem with conversion either in TopLink or in JDBC.

Does BOXI 3.1 supports Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Hi ,
Can any one tell me whether BOXI 3.1 supports Day Light Saving (DST), in case of scheduling reports?
Thanks in Advance,
Raghuveer.

Hi Reddy,
you can contact your vendor regarding this information ....
You need to appy the Business Objects patch, you will need to apply the extended Daylight Saving Time (EDST) patches for your operating system and Java Virtual Machine and Application Servers in order for the Business Objects patches to take effect. Please contact your vendors for updated information.

BO-XI R2 daylight saving time

The time in infoview has not changed to accommodate the daylight saving time change.
Version: 11.5.8.8265
Tried to install xir2 edst patch (CHF15_DST), when doing so I get a message stating "MHF1 is needed as prerequisite"...when I try to install MHF1, receive message "No supported XIR2 products detected"
Please advice, thank you.

Symptom
The Integration Kit for Baan driver displays incorrect time data in reports. The time is off by an hour between the dates marking the old Daylight Saving Time (DST) and the new DST change.
Cause
DST has been changed to occur earlier in the year. The Integration Kit for Baan does not pick the new settings up.
Resolution
There are files called ZONEFILES on the BAAN Server. These files must be already updated on the Baan server side.
The Integration Kit for Baan installs our own version of these files in the following folder:
\Baan\Native\lib\ZONEINFO
on the hard drive where the Integration Kit is installed.
Back up these files on the Crystal Reports/Business Objects XI computer, then put a copy of the ZONEFILES from the Baan Server to the computer where the Integration Kit for Baan is installed.

Oracle Fix for U.S. Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007

Hi --
Does any one know that if Oracle 10g Application Server (9.0.4) or Oracle 10g Application Server (10.1.2) as a fix for this issue.
Summary of the Issue: Information about the impact of the US Energy Policy Act of 2005, which changes the effective dates of US Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2007 for the US. The passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 alters the Daylight Saving Time (DST) start and stop dates by four weeks. Extended Daylight Saving Time will begin in March of 2007.

They are the settings I have always used and my computers have always reverted to and from Daylight savings (except of course I'm in Queensland, Then I have to reset my location and remember to set it back.
Other than that if may come down to trashing your pref file for date and time.
Good Luck

The Daylight Saving Time in the Salvador City in Brazil is not working!

Since this month, the government includes the state of Bahia, in Brazil, in the list of the states that will follow the Daylight Saving Time. Maybe Apple is not knowing about that and didn't update it's Daylight Saving Time list. So, Please, include the state of Bahia (and of course the Salvador City) Brazil in the Daylight Saving Time list! Thanks!

USA Residents: Early Daylight Saving Time *Changes*.

Apparently, a few folks are unaware of the changes & patch because for various reasons they do not check and/or use their Software Update Control Panel.

I have a similar issue where we cannot upgrade the jdk 1.1 without involving a lot of effort. If we keep the same old jdk, can someone tell me if use of Date and Calendar api will be impacted by the Daylight saving change.....provided the timezone is default and not explicitly set to EST. Also there isnt any timezone related buss logic.

Cisco ISE 1.2 Daylight Saving time

Does ISE support DST change?

Time Zone = UTC is best practice for a distributed deployment. Also, remember that if you change the time zone on an ISE, the database is deleted! So, set this during initial setup. BTW, for the Eastern Time Zone in the United States, use EST5EDT in order to allow for Daylight Saving Time.

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.
