Display Browser Local Timezone

Hello:
We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3 and Oracle database 11.2.0.2 on RedHat 5.8 and we have users all over the world.
In our database, we have table columns defined as data type: TimeStamp with Local Timezone.
In a browser window in ADF, we want these table columns to automatically adjust the time to be in browser local timezone.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Get user's locale / Timezone

Hi
I am developing Customized Calendar jsp on OCS by
only using Calendar API(calendarlet.jar) not using Portal API.
I have problem to get User's Locale/TimeZone that User had set in Preference.
Calendar API Select and Display baesed on UDT
CASE :
" User had choice certain TimeZone in Preference
then Calendar PKG display time based on User Selected Time-Zone
but Customized Calender JSP displayed time on UCT "
How can I get locale/TimeZone that user had set in Calendar Preference ?
(Using calendar API)

That's odd. You say that java.util.Date doesn't have
any timezone in it, but when I insert a breakpoint
and look at the contents of the object it has a
sun.util.calendar.BaseCalendar and that has a
timezone in it. Date != Calendar. A Date is just a long. Like I said, right this second, if you, I, somebody in Chicago, somebody in NY, somebody in London, and somebody in Tokyo all create a Date, the long will be the same for all of us--number of millis since 1/1/1970 00:00:00 GMT. (Note that this does NOT meant that Date "has" a TZ. It does not.) The TZ comes when a String is created from the Date.
I always just assumed that that
timezone must be what I was having trouble with.
As for the DB, I assumed that mysql was timezone
agnostic, and simply took times in and spit them out
exactly the same. Are you saying that when I put 8AM
in, if a person in england had that database that
same value would read midnight? If so, is there any
way to make it timezone neutral? It's complicating
things.It is TZ-agnostic. You're overcomplicating it.
// In LA, I do
date = new Date(); // Ignore util.Date/sql.Date/Timestamp distinction for now
S.o.p(date); // prints out Thu., 9:53 a.m. PDT
ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into whatever values (?)");
ps.setDate(1, date);
ps.executeUpdate();
// In London, you do
rs = execute("select * from whatever"); // yeah, I'm fudging the jdbc stuff. Just lazy
rs.next();
date = rs.getDate(1); // this Date wraps the same long as my original in LA
S.o.p(date); // prints out Thu., 5:53 p.m. BST or whatever
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(some format);
sdf.setTimeZone(new york);
S.o.p(sdf.format(date)); // prints Thu., 12:53 p.m. EDTThe DB stores "N millis since the epoch", or something equivalent. My LA Java and your London Java read that value and interpret it as the same point in time. When we print it, it converts to the appropriate TZ.

Local timezone name

Hi, how can i get the local timezone name?
Date now = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ssa z");
String todate = formatter.format(now);
System.out.println(todate);the output would be:
Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:16:13PM GMT+05:30I want to display IST or PDT inplace of GMT+05:30. Is there any way? Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
For many of the timezones, JRE 1.3.1 displays GMT
offset patterns instead of local timezone name. e.g.,
For the Zone America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
GMT-05:00/GMT-04:00 is displayed instead of
EST-Eastern Standard Time/EDT-Eastern Daylight Time.
Similary, for America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires,
GMT-03:00 is displayed instead of ART-Argentine
Time.
For Asia/Macau, GMT+08:00 is displayed instead of
CST-China Standard Time.
There are some other timezones which have this
behavior.
Has any of you obsered this behavior ? Any solution
for this ?
Thanks
GuruI don't know about other TimeZone issues, but 1.3 is going to have problems with the new DST rules in the US.

How to get user browser locale from view object

Hello,
Currently, I have a view object that's used to retrieve localized messages from data base. The resource table looks like the following:
MSG_ID VARCHAR2, --> specify the L10N resource reference
LOCALE VARCHAR2, --> used to specify the user locale (browser locale)
MESSAGE VARCHAR2 --> real message
I'm creating a bind variable (let's say it 'RequestLocale') in this view object to specify the locale and to get the expected L10N message. Currently, the value for this bind is set as an Expression with value of 'viewObject.DBTransaction.session.locale.toString()'.
After defining the view object (and the bind variable like above), I created a table by dragging the view object to a jsf page, and run and open the page in a web browser. It seems that the messages (specified by the locale) could be retrieved correctly. But once I change the web browser language settings to another preferred language, and refresh the page, I found that the message is still for the previous locale, and not refreshed to the locale (language/country) that's newly set in web browser.
Am I supposed to do more thing to get the 'locale' work by using the adf view object bind variable?
Thanks.

Hi,
after changing the locale, can you try a re-direct of the page to see if this changes the locale. In ADF, the locale is set by the HTTP request handler in the ADF lifecycle ensuring that the locale is passed to the middle tier. So the expected change is to come from the view layer (which is why I think you need a redirect). Another option to check is to access the HttpRequestObject from the FacesContext --> External Application to check the request locale

With Time Zone Support on Calendar no longer automatically adjust to the local timezone.

Apples support forums are riddled with Discussions about problems with being able to dicate a specific time zone for appointments. Many of these postings, as well as their corresponding solutions, are unnecessarily lenghtly when the root cause of all of this is a one very simple mistake by Apple. Right now to be able to assign a specifc timezone for an appointment using the Calendar app on the iPhone you have to have "Time Zone Support" turned on in Settings. The problem is that when you turn on this feature the Calendar app stops automatically updating the calendar to reflect the local time zone you are in. These are simply two seperate items that have no reason to be tied together. Apple could easily correct almost all of the issues people are having with this topic if it simply split this into two seperate options that users can turn on/off seprately:
1.) Enter time zone for each appointment. YES/NO
2.) Adjust Calendar to the local timezone. YES/NO
It is virturally incomprehensible that Apple has not fixed this. It was clearly a mistake.

I have this problem too and am frustrated - it's not solving no matter what i do. And now Siri is totally bonkers too on this new software update - can't even pull from my contacts when I ask her to look someone up. What the heck is going on at Apple software? Have they been hiring a bunch of arrogant, crap programmers? I am seriously thinking of not buying an iPhone again after having one for 5 years. So disappointed!!

How to display/create Local field in SAP query

HI All,
I'm new to abap query. I have to include a local field in the existing query. I know through SQ01->Edit->Local field we can display the Local fields, but the options under Local Fields menu option are disable even in change mode of Query.
So, later through SDN found that, I have to Switch On the short names menu option. Even the sub-options in Short Names are disabled.
Can any body please let me know how can we display the local fields to the change the formula and how can we create the new local fields in the existing qeury.
Hope I'm able to explain my issue clearly.
Thanks in advance.

You can create the local fields in the "Select Field" screen. (Third screen after "Title, Format" and "Select Field Group") This option is disabled on the other screens.

Problem with amount displayed in local currency.

Hi Experts,
We have an invoice in XDR/PLN currency (exchange rate: 3,50).
Then we are making a posting with clearing and in result we have a clearing document in EUR/PLN currency (exchange rate: 3,70).
In one line item we are making a posting with an asterisk u2018*u2019 to clear selected open items.
In this line item the amount in EUR currency shows for example 0,10 EUR and amount displayed in local currency (PLN) shows 100 PLN which is value not consistent with exchange rate.
Line item which is causing such difference displayed in EUR shows u201Cnew amountu201D, but this line item displayed in local currency (PLN) shows u201Cold valueu201D from a XDR/PLN document.
This issue causes 0,10 EUR -> 100 PLN u201Cdisplayingu201D problem in an asterisk u2018*u2019 line item.
Why this line item shows the u201Cold valueu201D in local currency from XDR document ?
Thanks in advance,
Konrad Dobrowolski.

Can anyone help ?
I can provide more details if needed.
Best regards,
Konrad Dobrowolski.

In sapscript Address shoud display in local language

In the customer statement, the customer address details need to be displayed in local language of customer. How can we achieve this? Does the master data for the customer in KNA1 table need to be maintained in local language? Or else even though the data is maintained in English, the details will be printed in local language if the user logged in to SAP in local language?
Srinivas

JDev 10.1.3.4 on Vista 64 bit not using local timezone setting

When I try to get the current date by doing a new java.util.Date() I get the date and time but its not in my local timezone. I am in Eastern Time zone US & Canada which is GMT - 5.00. JDev for some reason keeps giving the time without subtracting 5 hours from GMT . So if now is 13.41pm its saying it is 18.41pm. I was using jdk 1.5, now using 1.6 and same problem. I tried it on Eclipse and everything works fine. I tried compiling and running a small program without JDev, using the jdks, and all is well. This must be something with Jdev.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Hi Thanassis,
not sure what has changed between 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4 in that area;
but, without knowing Steve's sample in depth, I would say that the error you get in 10.1.3.4 is expected as the current row has changed in your Web Container.
To avoid the JBO-35007, you can change the StateValidation on the iterator
<iterator ... StateValidation="false"/> That's the preferred option when only one (or a few) iterator causes the error
This won't be possible however if the code is generic and involves all iterators (as in CustomViewObjectImpl).
Then you have to change the property EnableTokenValidation on the page definition:
<pageDefinition ... EnableTokenValidation="false"> I'm currently working on other JBO-35007 errors reported by customers and I'm waiting for feedback from development about the Token Validation.
I'll let you know as soon as I get more news.
Regards,
Didier.

Displaying a local HTML File

I wish to include a help file in my Java application. The easiest format for me to use is a local HTML page, resident in the same directory as my installed application - but I am having trouble displaying it using the jEditorPane. I realise this may look lazy, but could someone please put me out of my misery and tell me how to display a local HTML page ?

if you want to use a button to show the file in a new window - try this one
void button1_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
AppletContext ac=getAppletContext();
try {
ac.showDocument(new URL("http://....."));
catch(MalformedURLException x){showStatus(x.toString());}
}

I am using UILocale command to change browser locale to japan/france with locale as ja-JP/fr-FR.But always en-US locale is dislaying.

I have used command to change browser locale to japan as
firefox UILocale ja-JP

Did you install the Japanese (ja.xpi) and French (fr.xpi) language pack?
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.12/win32/xpi/
The name of the locale that you select must match the name of the language pack, so try UILocale ja and UILocale fr
You can also set the pref general.useragent.locale on the about:config to the locale ja or fr
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs

There was a patch released for AD Sync, 6446689. It's supposed to resolve a few issues. If you look at the Active Directory connection documentation, it walks you through what should happen.
