Disable daylight saving time

Hi all,
I know this subject has been posted before, but i haven't found any suitable response. I need to disable daylight saving time, but i haven't been lucky yet. I've tried several things:
// Option A
Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+01:00"));
// Option B
Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone(Some String Suitable));
// Option C
Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(new SimpleTimeZone(int, Some String Suitable));
// Option D
SimpleTimeZone stz;
stz.setDSTSavings(0); // I get an errorAnd many other solutions, but it keeps applying daylight saving time and changing from 25/03/2007 01:00 to 25/03/2007 03:00. Any workarounds that doesn't involve to build my own Calendar? Also i can't disable it in the Operating System because it would affect other applications.
Thanks in advance.

Hi man, i've tried that also and still the same problem, code:
// Japan hasn't DST
Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+9"), Locale.JAPAN);
         calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
         calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 24);
         for (int i= 0; i< 50; i++) {
             System.out.println(calendar.getTime());
             calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
         }Also i've tried with identical result:
Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"), Locale.JAPAN);
         calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
         calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 24);
         for (int i= 0; i< 50; i++) {
             System.out.println(calendar.getTime());
             calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
         }And finally i've tried the "set" method (in several lines) and still the same result:
         Calendar calendar= new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"), Locale.JAPAN);
         calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"));
         calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
         calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 24);
         calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"));
         for (int i= 0; i< 50; i++) {
             System.out.println(calendar.getTime());
             calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
             calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"));
         }Output:

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.

DST Daylight Saving Time

I am using Solaris 9 on Sun hardware. I have set the Time Zone as Asia/Karachi. I dont know how the Daylight Saving Time is enabled with this setting. I just want DST to Trun Off. How can I disable DST for my zone?

Thank you for all the reply. Finally, I've solved the problem. For Tunisia there is no DST according to this page: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=253&syear=2010
So, I did the followings:
# vi /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src/africa
I modified the rules according to the following:
Rule Tunisia 2006 2008 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S
Rule Tunisia 2006 2008 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 0 -
Finally I run the following command:
# zic /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src/africa
It is solved my problem!

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.

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.
Nik

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

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.

Brazil Daylight Saving Time Problem

In Brazil, we enter the summer time and my blackberry 9800 torch automatically work, but when I synchronized with the playbook, some problems arose.
The time in the menu setting is correct, as you can see in this image:
But the wrong time remains the main screen:
Does anyone have the same problem and knows how to fix it?
tks,

It did not work.
It is indifferent to select manual or automatic, the problem persists.
I'm in Brazil and with the correct time zone, but we are on daylight saving time.
On the menu setting time and date, the time is right, however, in early 1 hour on application clock and and late 1 hour on the main screen.

Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007 for USA

Can anyone give me solution how to handle Daylight saving Time changes in 2007 in USA for JDK 1.3.x releases? We are using this due to some vendor dependency. We can�t upgrade to higher versions up to middle of the 2007. I would be thankful if somebody gets back to me.

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.

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.
Regards
KP

CreateODBCDateTime monkeys with Daylight Saving Time!!

If one uses CreateODBCDateTime to convert a date into the
proper format for storing in a SQL Server database, and one runs
this operation on a date between 0200 and 0300 on the day that
Daylight Saving Time changes, the function will change the time
forward or backward one hour. IT WILL DO THIS EVEN IF THE DATE YOU
ARE STORING IS UTC, thus rendering UTC times INVALID because they
do not have DST. Why does this function monkey with DST at all?

I have several international web sites on this server, one of
which has over 100,000 users who have contributed over 70 million
records, all with UTC timestamps. The problem occurs during the one
hour period EVERY YEAR when daylight saving time is started. It
does not do this in the fall when the time reverts. So, yes, the
problem only occurs during 1 hour out of 8,760 hours, but when you
start with 70 million records over 5 or 6 years...
But the danger is for anybody who stores or manipulates a
date/time OTHER THAN the date/time that is being used internally to
the server. In other words, if your server is set to Central Time,
and you have users in Hawaii or Arizona who need to store their own
date/time, it is likely to apply Central Timezone RULES to that
date/time, even if Hawaii and Arizona don't use DST.
Let's say you're scheduling operating rooms in a hospital in
Honolulu. All the CF routines are going to make sure to shift those
times forward an hour without warning, have a nice day. In my case,
it is happening with UTC, but it could be ANY time zone that has
different rules than the ones on your server.
Yes, I can probably figure out a different way to process
times, but this is a massive system with thousands of different
templates. In fact it affects several pretty massive software
systems with millions of lines of code, so it's not as if I can
just change a few SQL queries and be done with it.
It probably should be a rule for anybody operating a
ColdFusion server in an international setting, where dates and
times from different regions might need to be stored in a database,
to set up the server on UTC time just to avoid this problem.
Me, I have to
a. find all the places this will affect in thousands of lines
of code,
b. try to decide what impact going to UTC on the server will
have on things like scheduled tasks, email servers, etc,
c. then figure out whether there is any way to repair tens of
thousands of corrupted records

Java 1.4 and Daylight Saving Time 2007

The current version of Java 1.4.2 for Tiger, 'Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-244)' does not handle the new 2007 Daylight Saving Time rules correctly. Will Apple be updating Java 1.4.2 to the version that does support 2007 DST correctly? (at least 1.4.2_11 is required per Sun, http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/USDST/).
If so, when? Thanks!

Since you didn't list your computer, here's a link to Java 5.0 release 4 for both PPC and Intel-based Macs, which came out in April: http://search.info.apple.com/?q=J2SE50Release4.dmg&type=kbdload&search=Search&lr =lang_en&search=Go. That should solve your problem.

Clock UI control and daylight saving time.

Hi,
We have a customer that has several sites around the world.
In a VC-model I like to use the Clock UI control to display the times of the different sites.
This can be done by setting the time zone in the control properties.
A long ago we have introduced daylight saving time.
It seems that the clock control does not do anything with this ?
How can I change the time zone when the model is running ?
Can it be done by an expression and how ?
There is also a problem of the country, some have DST, others dont.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_around_the_world
Example:
I have 2 clocks and the end-user lives in Amsterdam:
Amsterdam, time zone = GMT + 1
Santiago, time zone = GMT 4
During the winter in Amsterdam it is summer in Santiago and has daylight saving so the time in Santiago should be GMT 3 in stead of GMT -4.

With the current version of VC / flash, it is not possible to display the correct time all the year 'round.
If you only want to show the (user) current time then you can use this VC clock object.
If you need to show clocks from different cities around the world, than its better NOT to use the VC clock.
Because you can not define the country and city in the clock properties, that determine the use of DST, it will not always show the correct (default / DST) time.
Solution:
Add a HTLM-view to your model with a links to a web clock.
Nice (free !) clocks can be found (and customized) on <a href="http://www.worldtimeserver.com/clocks/wtsclock001.aspx">worldtimeserver.com</a> or <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/free.html">timeanddate.com</a> .
Example:
For the city Santiago (Chile) the URL =
http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/ielrw91/n232/tluk/fn13/fs16/fc009/tt0/tw1/td2/th1/ts1/tb4

Switch from daylight saving time to winter time

Hello,
Can somebody describe why it is recommended (note 7417) to shut down the system for a little over two hours? Why is is not enough to deactivate the system 5 minutes before last daylight saving time hour has started and activate it when the winter time is started? Why should we wait until the first hour of winter time has ended?
Note 7417 gives the following example:
'If the hour from 2:00 to 3:00 occurs twice when you change to standard time, you must deactivate the system from 01:55:00 AM until 3:05 AM"
It is not clear, why the system cannot be activated at 2:05 AM after the time is switched...
Thanks in advance,
Yelena

Hi Yelena,
Check the note 102088, it's clearly mentioned about 'double hour' and why it need's to be shout down?.
Regards,
Hari.
PS: Award points if helpful.
