Daylight Savings patching and XE

Will there be a patch for XE and those who don't have Metalink?
Maybe download XE w/a patch?
thx

I don't believe there are any patches for XE. Without or without Metalink.

Daylight savings patch?

Do you have a daylight savings patch to update the time on the routers now that Daylight savings is all changed?
I just upgraded my firmware and it did not patch the timezone error, any ideas.
What I did in the interim is adjust the timezone settings to a correct one, and turned off daylight savings adjustment to get my timezone correct but that is a pretty goofy way to have to do that.

I submitted the following error report to Linksys yesterday:
Do you intend to provide firmware updates for your router products in support of the new Daylight Saving Time Law? I own the WRT54GS Version 6. -Thank you.
To which they replied:
Dear Valued Linksys Customer,
Thank you for contacting Linksys Technical Support.
The WRT54GS v6 supports daylight savings time already and complies with current daylight savings time law. All we have to do is to enable it. It can automatically adjust for daylight savings time once activated. That can be found at the bottom of the router's setup page.
We would love to hear from you again. Any feedback from your end is very much welcome.
Thank you for choosing Linksys.
To which I replied:
I am very sorry, but you are very wrong! I am a network engineer, and am also a programmer who has written time conversion software - including changes to incorporate the new Daylight Saving Time law. So, I know what I am talking about.
On August 8, 2005, the United States enacted a new Daylight Saving Time law adding four weeks to the length of Daylight Saving Time. Canada (and possibly other North American countries as well) followed suit. This new law became effective this month (March, 2007). The start of Daylight Saving Time has changed from the first Sunday of April to the second Sunday of March - and the end of Daylight Saving Time has changed from the last Sunday of October to the first Sunday of November.
I have the Linksys wireless router model WRT54GS Version 6 with the latest firmware installed (v1.52.0 - January 16, 2007), and I DO INDEED have Daylight Saving Time already enabled. The router is STILL using the OLD, OBSOLETE Daylight Saving Time law!
If you would take the time to check the Linksys Forums, you will find many other dissatisfied and angry users who are reporting the same complaint!
I suggest that, next time, you do your homework before making such a hasty and erroneous reply to an error report.
I look forward to your reply - and the Daylight Saving Time fix in your next firmware update.
Thank you.

Daylight savings patch glitch

Hi,
I downloaded the daylight savings patch without a problem. Unfortunately, now all of the times on my Entourage calendar during Daylight Savings season have been moved ahead 1 hour. This is driving me nuts for meeting times. Any suggestions other than double checking/manually changing each and every engagement?
Many thanks! Judy

I assume this was a Microsoft patch and not the Apple one that caused the problem. For some reason, this is the way Microsoft chose to approach the problem. We applied their Exchange patch at work and it did the exact same thing to everyone's calendar items. I have no idea what they were thinking; it seems totally illogical to me.
Are you connected to an Exchange server, perhaps?

Daylight savings time and solaris 10

Does anyone know if Solaris 10 users have to install a patch for the Daylight Savings Time issue?
Thank you
LM

I have used RealVNC Free program (http://www.realvnc.com)in all my systems with no problem, if interested hereis a quick way to install it.:
File to use: �vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz�
#gunzip vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz
#tar �xvf vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar
#cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris
b)
Install it by running:
# ./vncinstall /usr/bin /usr/share/man
Note: this will also install man pages into �/usr/share/man/man1�
If you want to use the Java VNC viewer (Open browser and type pc_name:display#):
Copy the files from the java directory to some suitable installation directory
such as /usr/local/vnc/classes (vncserver will read this path!- don�t change it):
# mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes
# cp java/* /usr/local/vnc/classes
c)
Add to the .profile file (under the user):
vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768
d)
under the user:
Create a /.vnc directory first, we will create the xstartup file inside:
file /.vnc/xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid grey
gnome-session <note: if you want to use gnome as the defualt >
#/usr/dt/bin/dtsession <note: if you want to use CDE as the default >
make the 'xstartup' file executable:
# chmod 744 xstartup
*** Sample used for the user: (use the same file for the other users) �it will be created
the first time using it, just change it/add to the following sample:
First time to login will ask to create a password or
Run /export/home/�name�/.vnc/passwd (to add password to login)
If Needed, change ownership on the following 3 if you create them using root user:
/.vnc folder
/.vnc/xstartup
/.vnc/passwd

Daylight savings patch - Treo 750 Windows Mobile

Sorry because I see so many items when I search and I just can't find what I need (i just spent an hour on the MS site as well and it kept giving me articles and not downloads.)
Can someone pls provide me the palm update link? I already did the Outlook update last year and thought that was it but I just noticed that my device is now an hour off between the 19th and maybe 26th. I also had to reset the clock on my handheld the day after because it did not change (my computer did, though so I think it is just the device that is 'off.')
thx in advance

Daylight Savings Time and Alarmsk

Since the daylight savings time updated over the weekend the alarms I had programmed on my iPhone will not set properly. The phone displays the correct current time so I know the clock has updated but any alarms I have set for the hour of 2am - 3am don't display the proper time. They keep reverting to 1-2am. I have deleted them and recreated them with the same results, on 2 different iPhones, a 4gig and an 8gig.

I see im not the only one that gets up early. v1.1.3 and updated to 1.1.4 I am unable to set the alarm to any time in 2AM (2:01, 3, 4, 5, etc..) any time set to 2AM shows 1AM in the alarm. 2PM shows fine. Any hour of the day shows fine. The error is setting a time of 2AM as it will not show that time and will revert to 1AM.
I am in a zone that uses DST.
I guess apple doesnt want us to wake up to pay the bills.
I hope someone has a fix for this before I goto bed... busting out the old alarm clock now.

Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone Issue:

Howdy! Many of us woke up this morning to be dismayed to find that our iPhone was TWO hours behind instead of falling back one for the Daylight Savings Time adjustment, and were late for church. I have an iPhone 4S, with iOS 5...
I was working at that time of morning, and the initial switch went well. However, when I woke up, the clock was yet another hour behind. A little investigation showed that the Time zone had been changed to Denver (It was previously on Chicaco, and I live in Dallas.) I tried to select it to change it, and it wouldn't allow me. If I turned off the Set Automatically feature, then I could change it, but when I turned the Set Automatically feature back on, it would re-set the time zone to Denver.
I found another thread where they discuss this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16644669
To fix this, put in airplane mode, then back out again, then re-choose your correct time zone. If this doesn't work, then try turning your phone completely off and then on again. Thanks to 4n6doc for the tip!
The airplane mode trick worked for me: I turned airplane mode on, then off, then went to the Date & Time and set my time zone to Dallas, TX while the Set Automatically was off. When I turned the Set Automatically back on, it changed Dallas to Chicago, which is what every iPhone iOS I've ever had has done.

Hi,
Yes this is a correct way to fix the issue. One thing however, how did you set the timezone? For correct daylight saving handling, you'll have to use the long version, like America/New Yorw, NOT GMT-5 (for example).
regards,

Daylight Savings Time and Calendar?

What will happen to my iPhone calendar events come daylight savings time?

I have had that problem on my mac and iPhone. In my calendar it shows one hour later and even on my alarm clock app it is changing times, just odd random things.
On my iPhone I changed the time setting and it did not help. I am avoiding doing a total wipe and restore or whatever, because I don't want to go through the hassle of re doing everything.
I keep fixing my calendar and it keeps giving me trouble. Let me know if anybody has any ideas.

Daylight Savings time, and how dates are stored internally and displayed

This is probably a question that appears here annually, but I couldn't really find clear answers, so I'll try asking this in my own words:
I'm in the Eastern timezone, and this Sunday, we'll be turning our clocks back an hour at 2:00 AM. That means that accordign to us humans, the time 1:30 AM will occur twice on Sunday.
I've got an Oracle application that runs every 5 minutes around the clock, and it selects records from a certain table whose updated timestamp (TIMESTAMP(6)) is greater than SYSDATE - 5/1440, meaning any record that was updated in the last 5 minutes. Will we have a problem with some records being processed twice on Sunday morning? I'm theorizing that everything will be OK, that internally, Oracle stores DATE fields using something like an epoch which then gets interpreted when we display them. An epoch value will continue to grow each second no matter what “time” it is according to the U.S. Congress.
A simpler way to look at the question might be as follows:
If you store SYSDATE in a DATE column in row “X” at 1:30 AM before the time change, and you store sysdate in row “Y” exactly one hour later, will Oracle say that X’s timestamp is 60 minutes less than Y’s timestamp? All fields that are related to my particular situation are either DATE or TIMESTAMP(6).
We use 11g.

>
That settles that! Thank you! My theory was wrong! I appreciate the help.
>
You may think it settles that but, sorry to burst your bubble, that doesn't really settle much of anything.
One thing that was settled is the answer to this question
>
But are they talking about what you can EXTRACT and DISPLAY from the field or what is actually STORED internally?
>
which is, as Mark stated, they are talking about what is stored internally.
The other thing that was settled is that you will pull the same, or mostly the same, data twice during that one hour. I say 'mostly the same' because of the major flaw your extraction method has to begin with.
>
If you store SYSDATE in a DATE column in row “X” at 1:30 AM before the time change, and you store sysdate in row “Y” exactly one hour later, will Oracle say that X’s timestamp is 60 minutes less than Y’s timestamp?
>
No - they will have the same time since 'one hour later' would have been 2:30 AM but the clock was turned back an hour so is again 1:30 AM. So the second time your job runs for 5 minutes at 1:30 AM it will pull both the original 1:30 AM data AND the data inserted an hour later.
And Oracle will say that data stored in row "Z" exactly 45 minutes later than "X" at 1:30 AM will have a date of 1:15 AM and will appear to have been stored earlier.
Your method of extracting data is seriously flawed to begin with so the daylight savings time issue is the least of your problems. The reason is related to the answer to this question you asked
>
do people avoid using DATE and TIMESTAMP datatypes because they are too simple?
>
That method isn't reliable - that is why people avoid using a date/timestamp value for pulling data. And the more often you pull data the worse the problems will be.
>
I've got an Oracle application that runs every 5 minutes around the clock, and it selects records from a certain table whose updated timestamp (TIMESTAMP(6)) is greater than SYSDATE - 5/1440, meaning any record that was updated in the last 5 minutes
>
No - it doesn't do that at all, at least not reliably. And THAT is the why your method is seriously flawed.
The reason is that the value that you use for that DATE or TIMESTAMP column (e.g. SYSDATE) is assigned BEFORE the transaction is committed. But your code that extracts the data is only pulling data for values that HAVE BEEN committed.
1. A transaction begins at 11:59 AM and performs an INSERT of one (or any number) of records. The value of SYSDATE used is 11:59 AM.
2. The transaction is COMMITTED at 12:03 AM.
3. Your job, which runs every five minutes pulls data for the period 11:55:00 AM to 11:59:59 AM. This job will NOT see the records inserted in step #1 because they had not been committed when your job query began execution - read consistency
4. Your job next pulls data for the period 12:00:00 AM to 12:04:59 AM. This job will also NOT see the records inserted in step #1 because the SYSDATE value used was 11:59 AM which is BEFORE this jobs time range.
You have one or ANY NUMBER of records that ARE NEVER PULLED!
That is why people don't (or shouldn't) use DATE/TIMESTAMP values for pulling data. If you only pull data once per day (e.g. after midnight to get 'yesterdays' data) then the only data you will miss is for data where the transaction began before midnight but the commit happened after midnight. Some environments have no, or very little, activity at that time of night and so may never have a 'missing data' problem.
Creating your tables with ROW DEPENDENCIES will store an SCN at the row level (at a cost of about 6 bytes per row) and you can use the commit SCN to pull data.
Just another caveat though - either of those approaches will still NEVER detect rows that have been deleted. So if you need those you need yet a different approach such as using a materialized view log that captures ALL changes.

Daylight savings patch for US - Canada 2007

I see that Apple supposedly patched DST for USA-Canada 2007.
However, I went to a tech article that suggested using a
foo$ zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
command in terminal.
I got the following which indicates that DST is still the old way:
/etc/localtime Sun Apr 1 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0
/etc/localtime Sun Apr 1 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 28 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 28 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0
What gives?
Running 10.4.8 with all updates done.

Well I fixed it the hard way - manually doing the following:
The localtime file is actually just an alias to another file, as seen here (line break added for narrower display):
foo$ ls -lah /etc/localtime
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37B Jan 8 06:19 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver
To fix the problem, you need to update the source file:
Go to this nih.gov server and grab the file tzdata2007a.tar.gz. This filename may change over time, as new updates are added to the database. Just copy and paste the FTP URL into Safari to start.
Extract the contents of the archive to a local folder (Stuffit Expander does a fine job if you don't know how); my folder is called tzdata2007a.
In Terminal, cd into that folder and run the following commands. Note that the modifications I'm after are in the file named northamerica. However, some modifications where made to the europe and africa files as well, and the last command, zic backwards, will complain if you don't include them. Here are the commands to run:
foo$ cd /path/to/tzdata2007a
foo$ sudo zic europe
foo$ sudo zic africa
foo$ sudo zic northamerica
foo$ sudo zic backwards
That's it; you're done. Check your results with the original command again:
foo$ zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
You should now see Mar 11 and Nov 4, instead of the original Apr 1 and Oct 28. Much better!

Daylight savings time and iPhone 4 alarm bug NOW FIXED???

OK this morning i turned on my alarm and put it 1h ahead (the alarm is on repeat for the rest of the week) so the alarm goes off at the right time cos of the alarm bug.
but this morning my alarm was set at 6:45am and went off at 6:45am rather then 7:45am (if the bug was still present)
i have not changed my alarm and they are all repeat alarms. last week i fixed this problem by making my repeat alarm 1h ahead then normal.
i am now confused if this issue has been fixed.
Has this happened to anyone els?

Thanks wjosten.
I had been keeping an eye on this alarm bug but did not no thing changed on the 7th, guess i did not look hard enough.
would be nice is apple had a mailing list for these kinda things. so they can inform you of an error like this
well i am not in a rush for the 4.2 patch now sis the alarm is now working. they have now got like 5 odd months to fix this.
looks like apple is going on the same way as windows

Daylight savings time and recurring alarms -- FIX IT ALREADY APPLE!

Jeeze Louise! Apple has only known about the iPhone clock being unable to cope with recurrent alarms since LAST September when DST ended in Australia. iOS 4.2 did not fix it by the way. Nice how it wasn't released until -after- the entire Southern Hemisphere had already been late for stuff. Maybe most folks didn't have to work til Monday & caught on that there was a bug, but that's no comfort for we who work on Sundays.
November I was early for work. Today was a different story. What the H-E-- Apple?? It's a CLOCK. None of my previous phones (circa 2006) with recurring alarm features had this problem. Maybe 4.2 "fixed" the fall back issue; guess we'll see this November. But good Lord! Can't they fix it both ways? I shouldn't have to plug in my old geezerly Nokia just to have a reliable alarm twice a year for DST. I'm not really I interested in a "work around" as at the price we pay for iPhones, this ought not be happening!

And I just love how Apple doesn't have any way on their site to actually contact THEM when their customers have a complaint (or even a suggestion) about one of their products. No, we can only call during their office hours, at their convenience, not ours. We are left to ask fellow users for assistance we ought to be getting from the bloody Makers of our items. Who are likely just as ****** off & clueless as we are. Joy.

JDev log times and Daylight Savings

Nothing major.
I've noticed that the log messages appearing in JDev are not respecting my daylight saving time. Log times are appearing as 1 hour earlier than my computers time.
My platform is WinXP with Western Australian Daylight Savings patch applied.
e.g. at 14:14:56
3/02/2007 13:14:56 oracle.jsp.logger.JspMessages infoProviderURIUsed
INFO: Using the ProviderURI /mdssys/ViewController/public_html/MyContent.jspx that is returned from custom provider for processing requests.

INFO: Using the ProviderURI /mdssys/ViewController/public_html/MyContent.jspx that is returned from custom provider for processing requests.

As a matter of interest, do you get the same when if using JDK 1.5.0_07

Daylight savings change

This weekend we moved into daylight savings. My calendar in my iPhone, running the latest patches, and my clendar on my PC are one our out.... Ids there a known problem here?
Cheers
John

You need to apply microsoft daylight savings patch http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=81D03DA3-846C-4F7F-8791 -CD9943CE0893&displaylang=en. I had the same problem and now it works fine.

OT: USA Daylight Savings Reminder

Hey gang, Daylight savings in the USA is happening this weekend which is earlier then usual. Make sure you launch software update, download, and install the daylight savings patch if you haven't done so already.

Many thanks for the reminder.
But do a software update because of DST? DANGER WILL ROBINSON! I suggest changing the clock MANUALLY and not risk whatever damage the lovely software update can potentially create (as they are known to do)... This goes along with my rule of "never update unless there's a known benefit". And if I can set my clock manually, then IMO there's no known benefit to updating. Unless there's something I'm missing here...
