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

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.

Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change

This is a known issue and there is an SAP Knowledge Base Article created on this issue:
1448881 - Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change
Below is the information from the SAP Knowledge Base Article:
Symptom
Scheduled reports that are supposed to run once a day, run multiple times.
Duplicate instances are being created.
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5 + FP5.x
Reproducing the Issue
A report is scheduled to be run on a daily basis - this is a Recurring schedule.
Normally the report runs once a day, at a particular time.
After Daylight Savings Time change, the report runs at the specified time, but immediately after the successful instance, another instance is spawned.
Many more instances spawn after each instance completes.
Cause
This is a known issue: ADAPT01318487. This issue is because of DST and how our code handles this change.
Resolution
There is currently no known fix for this issue. There is however a script that can quickly resolve the problem.
The issue it seems is related to Daily recurring schedules.
What this script will do:
it will run a query to display all your DAILY Recurring jobs
you will have the option to choose your jobs and reschedule them by 1 hour
you will then highlight the same job and change them back by 1 hour
by modifying the schedule times, you are modifying the schedule itself and this will keep the issue of duplicate instances from occurring.
Exact Steps to Complete:
Stop the Job Servers.
Double click on the .hta file.
Change the System Name to that of your CMS name.
Add the Administrator's password.
Click Logon.
Click List All Recurring Instances.
Select All.
Make note of what it says in: Schedule Selected Recurring Instances: Should be 1 hr earlier.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Choose All instances again and change Schedule Selected Recurring Instances to 1 hour Later.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Now start your Job Servers.
The issue should not occur again.
The Script is attached here, but please review the SAP Knowledge Base article 1448881 as well

Hi Nicola,
- The multiple spawned instances issue ONLY affects XI3 SP3+ only. For XI3 SP1 and SP2 all Fix Pack levels this is not an issue as it was introduced as a problem in SP3.
- 1568239 notes the Java version and can apply to all O/S environments and is updated to reflect that.
If you are located in Europe you can also apply the patches in advance of the DST change to avoid the problem. If you are in Americas at this point utilizing the clean up scripts for this year is the approach needed to clean up the spawned instances and reschedule the existing schedules.
Thanks,
Chris

EST - Support Daylight Savings Time or not?

We have found an issue with Daylight Savings Time, the "EST" timezone and Solaris. In Java, the "EST" timezone is flagged as supporting Daylight Savings Time. In Solaris, "EST" does NOT support Daylight Savings Time. The Solaris setting is based on the zoneinfo files that come from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ (presumably an "official" US Government source). In the "northamerica" file, "EST" is equated to "America/Indianapolis" which is the part of Indiana that does NOT support Daylight Savings Time.
So, it would appear that Java supporting DST for "EST" would be a bug but I haven't been able to find any other references to this issue. Anyone have any insight on this?
Mark

I believe the following example will be of some help.
java.util.TimeZone zone;
java.util.Calendar gcal;
java.text.SimpleDateFormat form = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm z");
gcal=new java.util.GregorianCalendar(2004,(4-1),4,14,30);// with default timezone
long t0=gcal.getTimeInMillis();
zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York");// New_York
System.out.println(zone.getID());
form.setTimeZone(zone);
gcal.setTimeInMillis(t0);
System.out.println(form.format(gcal.getTime()));
zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Indianapolis");// Indianapolis
System.out.println(zone.getID());
form.setTimeZone(zone);
gcal.setTimeInMillis(t0);
System.out.println(form.format(gcal.getTime()));

Daylight savings time? Oracle has ignore?

it has some command DBA that the Oracle 9i can ignore the Daylight savings time in the calculations with dates?
thanks.

I have following procedure:
procedure CREATE_STOCK_DATA_SCENA () is
next_day date;
n_days number;
begin
create table TEMP_GRAF_ESTOQ
DATA DATE not null,
-- continue
delete from temp_graf_estoq;
-- it generates 100 days from today on
next_day := sysdate;
n_days := 0;
while (n_days < 100)
loop
insert into temp_graf_estoq
(data)
values
(next_day);
next_day := next_day + numtodsinterval(1,
'DAY');
n_days := n_days + 1;
end loop;
/*** continue ****/
end CREATE_STOCK_DATA_SCENA;
In the output, when it was to generate the last day of the October month as 31, it is generated 30. I believe that it is for cause Daylight savings time.
Somebody already passed for this problem or something seemed?
Thanks

IPhone 6 Plus Daylight Savings Time Problem

My recent upgrade from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus has been generally positive, but today the phone outsmarted me.
The phone seemed to be correctly reset to daylight savings time for most of the day.
Around 6PM I set an alarm for 8PM to remind me to wake my sister from a nap.
A while later the alarm goes off. It didn't seem like two hours. I called my sister and said it was eight,
but alas it was only 7PM.
I went into the alarm settings and sure enough the alarm was still set for 8PM.
My Mac Pro says it is 7PM, and the MacBook says so also.
I am on the central coast of California, in Santa Maria. My provider is Sprint.
My very expensive smart phone seems confused about the time. :-(
Thoughts?

The alarm issue is a known problem and apparently Apple plans on fixing it with iOS 4.2. Here's a link to news items about the alarm issue.

Update for the new Daylight Savings Time on March 11, 2007

Is there and update for the new Daylight Savings Time on March 11, 2007. the government changed it for this year. iCal won't let you modify the event.

Macspacedog,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As you have noticed, you cannot modify a subscribed calendar.
Since your system has been updated to 10.4.8 it will recognize the change, but the current Holiday Calendar available through Apple-Mac OS X-iCal-Library has not yet been updated to reflect the change.
If you want to subscribe to a different calendar, it appears that the iCalShare Holiday Calendar has been properly updated to reflect the correct Daylight Savings time.
;~)

HOw do I fix the fact that ical jumped (almost) all my events post daylight savings time change an hour ahead?

A few weeks ago I noticed that everything past 3/8 was an hour ahead, and I assumed once daylight savings time changed it would all jump back. It hasn't, and I don't know how to continue scheduling events or if I should change them all. I read that (a few years ago) the suggestion was give it 24 hours to adjust??

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

Outlook 2011 for mac daylight savings time issue

Hello,
I have a problem in my company where after daylight savings time meetings are shown an hour off in the calendar, but in the body of the meeting the time seems fine. The real problem is when after updating the meeting from it's body (just pressing save and
close) the meeting is bloated by an hour.
E.g. if a meeting after daylight savings time is from 11:00 to 12:00, it's shown on the calendar from 12:00 to 13:00, but after updating the meeting it's shown from 11:00-13:00.
This happens only on the macs in the company.
Thank you.

IPOD and Mac did not properly adjust for Daylight Savings Time

Hi, I have noticed that my iPod and my Mac Mini do not appear to have the latest update for Daylight Savings Time. There were a few adjustments this year that do not seem to be reflected on the Mac devices ??? I was using my iPod for time and was thrown off when time change before DST went into affect.

So, in your system preferences on the mini, under Date and Time, you have the box checked that says "Set date and time automatically"? Then, on the time zone tab, you have selected your correct time zone? I typically leave the box there unchecked that says to try and set automatically using current location.

DST-2007 Daylight Savings Time Patches for MAC OS

I have found Daylight Savings Time patches for other platforms.
Is there a patch for Daylight Saving Time for MAC OS?

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

Appointments one hour ahead of appointments created in iCloud - both before *and* after the shift from daylight savings time

I am in the CET timezone and my Lumia 925 on 8.1 has consistently shown appointments one hour ahead of appointments created in iCloud - both before and after the shift from daylight savings time here.
My disappointment is compounded by the fact that I patiently waited for October, naïvely thinking the clockchange would solve things... doh.
Look forward to your earliest solution.
Jonny.

There is a separate thread on this subject. It's a bug in Windows Phone 8.1. It is fixed in the upcoming Windows 8.1 Update 1 release (due Nov/Dec 2014). Alternatively, you can install the developer preview (go to Store and search for 'preview for developers'.
You have to register as a developer though (easily done through appstudio.windows.com) or you can wait for your phone vendor (Microsoft / Nokia) to release the 'Denim' upgrade.
For now, I don't know a decent workaround.

IdM Scheduler and Time Change to Daylight Savings Time GMT to BST

This isn't really a 'question' , but just a topic for discussion.
We're not live yet, but will be by the time the clocks go back. So I'm just interest to hear everyone's experiences and any issues with regards to the switching to / from DST
I did some "interesting" (or not) tests last night to see what happens with Pending Values which are due to take effect at the time change threshold of 01:00 GMT when switching to Daylight Savings Time (BST) GMT +0100.
It seems as if the IdM scheduler keeps going according to UTC or GMT. However any values provisioned to target systems or to local tables using the ddm.datetime8601 system variable are in local time according to the runtime server or SQL server's locale settings.
I set up a task to output from a javascript the current system date
using the following in the functions.
currentTime = new Date();
return currentTime.toString(); // returns Locale Time String
currentTime = new Date();
return currentTime.toUTCString(); // returns UTC Time String
in the same pass I also output the ddm.datetime8601 system parameter and the ddm.time24 system parameter.
This task was to update a comment on an entry and Scheduled to run at 00:00:00 and was executed at 00:00:06 GMT all times were still in GMT as expected.
Local Time: Sun Mar 27 00:00:06 GMT-0000 (GMT) 2011, UTC Time: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:00:06 GMT, ddm.datetime8601: 2011-03-27T00:00:06, ddm.time24: 00:00:06
This task was scheduled at 01:00:00 in IdM and was exectued at 01:00:08 GMT by the runtime, and you can see the local time is being correctly reported as 02:00:08 BST. Note also the ddmdatetime8061 is also 02:00:08 i.e. BST.
Local Time: Sun Mar 27 02:00:08 GMT+0100 (BST) 2011, UTC Time: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 01:00:08 GMT, ddm.datetime8601: 2011-03-27T02:00:08, ddm.time24: 02:00:08
In the database the entry values MXI_VALUES ModifyTime field has the GMT / UTC timestamp.
I also set up some pending value objects to be applied at 00:59:59 and 01:30:00 to see if the 01:30:00 would be 'skipped' as the locl clock change would've gone from 00:59:59 to 02:00:00. Well the pending values were correctly applied and expired and no 'lost' transactions happened as a result of the change.
So essentially it seems to me that the IdM runtime and scheduler times are all based on UTC / GMT.
I guess it's only an issue twice a year if you're expecting something to happen at a specific local time 01:00:00 or if you've got a global user base and their account expiry should be in each user's own country's local time. In these cases, it would seem that you'd need to convert the schedule times and pending value times to UTC first before setting them in the database.
Has anyone else had any issues, thoughts, questions or suggestioins on scheduling tasks which span the DST time change when switching to and from Daylight Savings Time.

Solaris 10 u8 system did not update daylight savings time

I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86, and my system did not update for the daylight savings time change on Nov. 1, 2009. I am in the US/Mountain time zone. What should I do?
Patch 141517-04 is installed, I assume it came with u8.
Does this have something to with JAVA Time Zone updater? I saw this:
http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html
Shouldn't u8 take care of all this automatically? Do I have to somehow get TZUT 1.3.20? By contacting support? What?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I'm running 64-bit Solaris as a VirtualBox (3.0.10) guest VM on a 32-bit WinXP host.
