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!
BR,

  • DST (Daylight Saving Time) for WLSE

    Does anyone know if there is going to be a patch for the DST change for the WLSE, or if there is just a way to change it command-line, what that would be.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    The ONS 15302 supports time protocol (RFC 868) for automatic date and time adjustment. To utilize this feature a TP server must be available in the network.
    Because the time protocol provides UTC (GMT) only, and does not take into account the Day Light Saving Time (summer time), an additional parameter (UTC Delta) allows the user to get the local time. This parameter must be adjusted twice a year to take into account the Day Light Saving Time

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 don’t.
    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> .

  • Daylight Saving Time Changes for 2007

    Hello Friends
    Sun's J2SE 1.4.2_11 has taekn care of the new Daylight Saving Time changes in accordance with The Energy Policy Act of 2005. Does anyone know if bea has incorporated same changes to their Jrockit, if so then starting which version.
    http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/USDST/
    Thanks for the answers in advance.
    Regards
    Rajeev Bhogal

    Hello All
    We currently compile and run our application with Jrockit 1.4.2_04 (build 1.4.2_04-b05), if we change to minor version 11 for 1.4.2 should we recompile the application. I would think that DST related binaries would only be called at run time not compile time, however I am far from being a compiler expert. Can any learned friend shed some light.
    Henrik what do you think.

  • BO-XI R2 daylight saving time

    The time in infoview has not changed to accommodate the daylight saving time change.
    Version:  11.5.8.8265
    Tried to install xir2 edst patch (CHF15_DST), when doing so I get a message stating "MHF1 is needed as prerequisite"...when I try to install MHF1, receive message "No supported XIR2 products detected"
    Please advice, thank you.

    Symptom
    The Integration Kit for Baan driver displays incorrect time data in reports. The time is off by an hour between the dates marking the old Daylight Saving Time (DST) and the new DST change.
    Cause
    DST has been changed to occur earlier in the year. The Integration Kit for Baan does not pick the new settings up.
    Resolution
    There are files called ZONEFILES on the BAAN Server. These files must be already updated on the Baan server side.
    The Integration Kit for Baan installs our own version of these files in the following folder:
    \Baan\Native\lib\ZONEINFO
    on the hard drive where the Integration Kit is installed.
    Back up these files on the Crystal Reports/Business Objects XI computer, then put a copy of the ZONEFILES from the Baan Server to the computer where the Integration Kit for Baan is installed.
