Daylight savings time switch

Hello Group,
OSS note 1603349 describes how a SAP system can be active during time switch from summer time to winter time.
Has someone experience to let the system up?
Kind Regards
Winfried

Hi Winfried,
perfect solution )
We do this with many customers (on iSeries as well) and it really runs "out of the box" on ERP6.
Once, I really saw it live at an US customer and it looked "really bizzarre" in System->State ...

  • How to fix daylight savings time switch

    Times jumped ahead several weeks ago for daylight savings time, and I dont know whether to change them all manually or not.

    thanks for responding ; I just changed all my entries after Sunday manually just now.  I'd waited over 36 hours and it hadn't adjusted.  Sure hope this doesn't happen everytime there's a time change -- I don;t remember it happening before. 

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • IPhone not picking up Daylight Savings Time

    In reviewing last year, I see that there was an issue with iPhones making the time switch to Daylight Savings Time (it appeared to be limited to New Mexico).
    Well, it seems to be happening again. My wife and I are in New Jersey and neither of our iPhones made the auto switch. I assume it is an AT&T issue (again) but I'm curious if anybody else is seeing this?
    I guess the work around for now is to turn off auto and set it yourself. Irritating.

    You may get your wish one day which at the earliest would be sometime in 2010 and if so, then you will be talking to a bunch of idiots at whichever provider for the iPhone as none of the front line folks who answer the phone for technical support issues and questions with cellular providers are overpaid by any means, and some are not going to become a rocket scientist.
    The few times I've called AT&T customer or technical support, I have no complaints whatsoever, which has been about the same with every provider I've used.
    There are Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile subscribers who say the very same thing at times - "I just got off the phone with a bunch of idiots at - fill in the blank".

  • N8 Daylight savings time huge problem

    I live in Jordan and daylgiht savings is activated on April 1st (the phone time is set to jordan) but today/yesterday (march 25th) it activated daylight savings increasing one hour on the time, the problem is that everytime I adjst the time (decrease 1 hour) it automatically increases another hour making it impossible to fix the time (auto time updates are off). 
    *noite: i can change the minutes but not the hours
    so bascially does anyone else have this problem?? and do you have idea how to fix it 
    If you found this post or any other psot helpful please press the green kudus star

    We will get somebody to look at this incorrect date for the time change, many countries that use daylight savings time do so from the final Sunday of March, which would appear to explain your premature switch in Jordan where you are using a different date for the switch.
    With regard to the way the time zone is shown, Symbian phones always show your local time in relation to GMT/UTC, which doesn't include any daylight savings calculation, so for example here in Finland, my N8 shows GMT+3, but once we switch back to normal time in September that will revert to GMT+2.

  • IPhoto 9.2.1 displaying wrong time on photo after changing back from daylight savings time

    Europe went back to standard time (from daylight savings time) on Sunday morning, Oct. 30.  In my Nikon D7000 I changed the time accordingly by retaining the time zone (UTC+1) but switching Daylight Savings to OFF.  The times on the photos display correctly in the camera and in Finder.  They also display correctly in EXIF-O-Matic.  In iPhoto 9.2.1, however, they display with one hour added.  Has anybody else encountered this problem?
    Just tried to reproduce the error but could not.  Without changing any of the time zone settings I shot a photo and imported it into iPhoto.  The time in iPhoto is now correct.  I am absolutely sure that I set Daylight Savings to OFF in the camera before taking any photos on Oct. 30.  Perhaps the problem has to do with importing on Oct. 30, the day of the change?
    Regards,
    Richard

    You should not be importing that Library.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    You simply restore the Library from Time Machine and then open it.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 2007 Daylight savings time - Oracle 9.2

    Hi All,
    My Oracle database runs on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I have followed Microsoft instructions to update the Daylight Savings Time to new settings. Given this, will I need to apply Oracle patches ?
    Thanks for your help,

  • 2007 Daylight Savings Time Changes

    What, if any, effects will the 2007 changes to US daylight savings time have on the operation of the LabVIEW 7 Express development environment and deployed applications created with it?

    I believe the answer depends on the OS the application runs under.
    If MS has there act together and the machine in question has recieved updates, there should be no issue.
    If you are running Unix (or a variation o such), a patch must be applied (at least that was the story my wife gave for working all night Saturday night).
    I can not answer this Q for Mac or LV-RT running under Pharlap.

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
