Global/Universal Time display

Hi
I have a question on how the time field gets displayed in a global instance:
When we have multiple Timezones typically in global implementations, are custom OAF form date time fields aware of their local time?
Do the OAF forms automatically show time in local time zone or their corporate time zone
Or do we need to code logic to ensure they show in local time?
If we need to create custom logic, how can we do that?

Oracle Apps is timezone aware. Pl see these MOS Docs for more details.

[SOLVED] UTC Time Displaying Localtime

I am trying to get Conky to display the correct UTC time on my desktop, but the localtime is being displayed instead. In light of this issue, I concluded that the hardware clock must be set to use localtime, rather than UTC, and or that the system clock is not syncing correctly with the hardware clock on boot up.
So, I tried issuing the command
timedatectl set-local-rtc 0
to set the system time to use UTC as indicated in this ArchWiki page. However, even after rebooting, Conky still displays the localtime rather than the UTC time.
Issuing the command
timedatectl status
results in the output
Local time: Tue 2013-07-16 07:27:07 EDT
Universal time: Tue 2013-07-16 11:27:07 UTC
RTC time: Tue 2013-07-16 11:27:07
Timezone: America/New_York (EDT, -0400)
NTP enabled: n/a
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: yes
Last DST change: DST began at
Sun 2013-03-10 01:59:59 EST
Sun 2013-03-10 03:00:00 EDT
Next DST change: DST ends (the clock jumps one hour backwards) at
Sun 2013-11-03 01:59:59 EDT
Sun 2013-11-03 01:00:00 EST
After having tried the above command without success, I then entered into the system BIOS on boot, and inspected the hardware clock time, which is correctly set to the UTC time.
So, after booting again into Arch Linux, I tried using the
hwclock
command to troubleshoot the problem.
Issuing the command
hwclock --debug
yields
hwclock from util-linux 2.23.1
Using /dev interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1373971186 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1373971186 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on UTC time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2013/07/16 11:19:10
Hw clock time : 2013/07/16 11:19:10 = 1373973550 seconds since 1969
Tue 16 Jul 2013 07:19:10 AM EDT -0.985669 seconds
According to the output above, the
Hardware clock is on UTC time
, so I am not sure why the system clock is not syncing properly with the hardware clock on boot up.
Issuing the command
hwclock -r
yields
Tue 16 Jul 2013 07:37:51 AM EDT -0.797938 seconds
which displays localtime, instead of UTC.
In addition, I find it somewhat confusing that
hwclock --localtime
yields
Tue 16 Jul 2013 11:39:23 AM EDT -0.079090 seconds
which appears to be the UTC time, and issuing
hwclock --utc
yields
Tue 16 Jul 2013 07:40:17 AM EDT -0.485343 seconds
which appears to be the localtime.
I also tried using the command
hwclock --systohc
according to this question on serverfault.com, with no success.
The output of the
date
command is
Tue Jul 16 07:46:03 EDT 2013
, which appears to be the localtime, rather than the UTC time.
I noted that in the ouput of
timedatectl status
it says
NTP enabled: n/a
NTP synchronized: no
which I believe may be contributing to the problem, but I am somewhat unclear as to whether or not NTP is necessary for the system time to be correctly synced with the hardware clock and the UTC time.
Also, I am using the Conky Metro Clock Conky configuration for my .conkyrc file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
For clarification, I did not actually actual want to display the UTC time with Conky, but rather the localtime. I accidentally concluded that I wanted to display the UTC time because my hardware clock was synced to my localtime, rather than the actual UTC time. Therefore, this caused the UTC time to be synced with the localtime, and furthermore, the localtime to be 4 hours behind the correct localtime in my timezone (UTC-4hrs).

I apologize for the misunderstanding, although I do understand the difference between UTC and my localtime, it it simply a matter of the UTC time being incorrect on my system, and, therefore, the localtime, as well.
Ah. We could have helped you much more quickly if we understood what the real problem was. Oh well, at least you have it the way you want it now.
This is what confused me:

How to reset numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop?

Hi all,
I wonder about numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop. There are many statistic number for example : Call Handled, Max Talking, Avg Talking, Max Ready, Total Ready, Call abandoned, etc. Is there any way to reset those numbers back to zero? Please let me know.
Thank you.

Joe,
I haven't tried that, but I'm very skeptical. The CAD Agent gets stats from two places - CTIOS and RASS. RASS keeps the call log information in a SQL Desktop Engine database.
Stats derived from CTIOS reset at midnight. Obviously, restarting the RASS service has no effect on those. Call log information is being kept in a database so it seems to me that a restart of RASS should also have no effect.
I guess I will have to try for myself.
Regards,
Geoff

Image time display discrepancies between product

The following is an example of a problem I've observed in many places in my photo collection.
I have two files taken 8 seconds apart in April 2009 with a Nikon D70 shooting .jpg format. The files were subsequently imported from the camera memory card using a card reader and Photoshop Elements. PSE was also used to add tags to these files.
Since then I've acquired Photoshop CS 5 Extended. The other day I was looking at these files in both PSE and Bridge. PSE shows the time of these two files to be the same (as it should), however, it adds an hour to the actual time the image was taken to adjust for the difference between the time set in the camera (it was Pacific Time) and the time zone where my computer is now located (Mountain Time). When I look at the time on the images in Bridge, one of them shows the correct time in Pacific Daylight Time, but the other is showing the corresponding UTC time value, 7 hours later than the local time. Looking at the file list in Window Explorer shows the "Date" and "Date taken" values to be the same as that shown by Bridge.
There were two other images taken shortly before the first one mentioned above and they show the correct local time. The two files that followed the UTC timed file also show a UTC time value. Then following that the next file shows local time and then there are a number of files showing UTC for time.
If I look at the two files with Windows Notepad so that I can see some of the text strings in the exif data portion of the file, the first file has a couple different places where time is shown in the format "...hh:mm:ss-07:00" and the other in the format "...hh:mm:ssZ". The time value is preceded by the date in yyyy:mm:dd format. It would appear that Bridge is reading these values and displaying them, while PSE is getting some other time value from the file. Here is the actual string from the file that displays in UTC:
exif:DateTimeOriginal="2009-04-05T17:08:10Z" exif:DateTimeDigitized="2009-04-05T17:08:10Z"
and for the file that displays time in local time the string is:
exif:DateTimeOriginal="2009-04-05T10:08:02-07:00" exif:DateTimeDigitized="2009-04-05T10:08:02-07:00"
I've observed this same discrepany with files taken more recently with a Nikon D700 and images in NEF format. I think I can reasonably eliminate the possibility that this is a camera caused discrepancy. I suspect that some program is actually reading the local time and offset, then writing that back to the file as a UTC time value. The behaviors of PSE and Bridge seem to point to the fact that the two programs are extracting time from different fields / strings in the file. At this point the occurrance of the problem seems random, at least I've not been able to discern a pattern and reproduce it at will.
Although this is not a catastrophic problem, it does cause confusion. I've also looked at these files in Lightroom, which on initial inspection appears to get the same time values as Bridge. The down side of this is that files in Lightroom are sorted into time order, which may not be the order they were taken. Although I recognize that these products may not have been design for complete compatibility, it sure would be nice if they all treated time in the same way.

I believe I now have more information about how PSE works and therefore need to slightly correct my original post. It looks like PSE takes what ever time it finds for the photo's "time taken," converts it to UTC, then converts it to the local time on which PSE is running. That will explain why two images taken seconds apart, with on having time coded as local time plus UTC offset and the other having an absolute UTC time, display the time taken in local time. On the other hand, Bridge (and Lightroom) just displays what ever time it finds in the file.

IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

Airport Blank, Time displayed is wrong, spinning wheel of death›

Hi Guys
This is the second time this has happened in the last 3 days.
My airport icon along the top toolbar is blank, even though clearly i am on the internet right now and it's working, and also the time is 50mins out. I went into System Preferences to check if i had the wrong time zone, but it's on the correct one (Wellington, New Zealand) and in System Preferences it has the correct time, yet the time displayed on the tool bar is wrong.
The other day when this happened, i shut my macbook pro (Leopard 10.5.8), and opened again, and it restarted itself, took 10 minutes on the white page with apple logo and spinning cog, and then went to a plain blue screen. I forced it to shut down and started it up and again and this happened again. I couldn't find anything on these forums to help me (on my boyfriends laptop) and went and had a look at my manual, and started up my laptop in safemode, went into my system preferences, went to startup disk and selected my local disk and then restarted my laptop and it has been working fine for the 2 days since then.
About ten minutes ago, i opened up my laptop from sleep and the airport icon is blank and the time is out again, also when i hover over that part of the toolbar i get the pinwheel, but when i hover over the toolbar towards the menus it's fine.
I just opened system preferences to have a look at the start up disk thing again and it's frozen with pinwheel there too.
Help Help Help!
I don't want to shut my laptop off right now because i know i will get blue screen when i try to turn it on again and i won't get any of your replies :P

also just noticed the "wrong time" is actually frozen, it's just frozen on 7:55pm

How do I change the new iTunes play list total time display from 1.5 hours format to exact display of 1hr 31min 12sec.

In the new iTunes the play list total time displays in 1.5 hours format, how do I get it to clearly show 1hr 31min 12sec like before, I want the exact time so I can properly fit all the songs when I want to burn this playlist to a disc. You can no longer just click on it to change the display format. Nor can you right click, control click, or change it in options. If anyone knows I would very much appreciate your imput. Thank You.

Actually, that's the problem ... in iTunes *11* it has stopped working. I have the status bar displayed, and it is stuck on the 1.x hours format.
That is very, very strange !!
I can't get that to happen on mine. It worked in 11.0 and I updated today to 11.0.1 and it's OK.
I've tried making a new playlist, I've tried changing an old playlist, smart playlist ...... all OK ????

UCCX 8 - CSD Real Time Display "N/A"

Hello,
We are facing an issue with Cisco Supervisor Desktop real time display "Agent Logs - call" and "Agent Logs - state". These two real time displays show "n/a" while select specific agents (some agents it show data as normal). For the agents who display "n/a" in CSD, in CAD the real time data display as normal.
For example: When supervisor monitor Agent_A in CSD "Agent Logs - call" show "N/A" (the same to Agent Logs -state). But in CAD, Agent_A can see real time display "Agent Call Log Display" as normal (the same to "Agent ACD State Log Display").
Does anyone experience this issue?
It seem that the real time display data in CAD and CSD are getting from the same source. How come the CSD show "n/a" when the data is available in CAD? Any idea, please help.
Many thanks,

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for your response. We are currently running on UCCX SU2. We used to reinstalled CSD/CAD already after we upgrade the UCCX to SU2. Our issue is now fixed by delete the user id of inactive agent from resource page and resync the directory services.
Just a note for anyone who might face similar issue, the recommendation is to first check the version of CAD/CSD running on the client PC (as Anuj suggest) and also comparing the user ID with the UCCX resource page. Be aware that user ID is case sensitive. Check the inactive agent list in the resource page. Delete the user id if you see it there. Then go to Desktop Administrator to resync the directory servcies.
Thanks!

How to turn off lumia520 time display on the scree...

How do i turn it off? I just want to have the date display on the block screen. I have a watch so i dont want to look at the time on the phone. Also, how do i turn the lady's voice off when i am receiving a call? She keeps saying: call from ####.

As far as I know the time display is built into the lockscreen although it could be alternative lockscreen allow you to modify how it shows.
To turn off voice;
Settings > ease of access> Narrator > OFF
Although I am not a 100% sure on this..

Create an absolute time display that can be paused and scrolled

I have 3 waveform graphs that are scrolling by as the data is collected. They represent past events that can be paused, scrolled back, and printed. It represents 8 hours of data. I do not have a time stamp associated with the data going into the graphs at this time. I dont want to reinvent the Field Point code that is gathering the data just tweak the Host program that monitors the data (this would require flying to the customer site). I need to have a absolute time clock that will keep up with the data that is scrollong by and pause when the graphs are paused (that is the easy part). Here is my challenge. I am using a property node from all three graphs. I have the x scale-range-all elements tied together so they will all scroll together with 1 x scroll bar. I need to be able scroll the absolute time clock with the other information.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You can use the Get date/time function to get time when the data is recorded. However be advised that this time would only be close to the actual time of data acquisition. It will not be the actual time when the data was acquired.
As for scrolling the time display, I think yout best bet would be to tie in a time stamp (Get date/time function ) with the Y values that you are already acquiring. Then when you scroll to a particular point in the graph, you can programmatically unbundle the waveform at that point to get the time value.

[SOLVED] Incorrect time displayed in my system

Hey Archers,
I have trouble correct time being displayed in my system.
My BIOS time is:
May 18 2012 08:39:21 PM IST
Date command displays
Sat May 19 02:09:59 IST 2012
Clearly the time displayed by date command is localtime+05:30 (Asia/Kolkata), when I expect it to be just localtime.
How do I correct this?
I dont dual boot and have just Arch installed on my machine.
And my /etc/rc.conf has this:
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
Please correct if my understanding is wrong, but is this how it works?
When I say HARDWARECLOCK=UTC and TIMEZONE=''Asia/Kolkata",
It assumes, hardwareclock, time displayed by BIOS, is infact UTC, and, since the user is interested in timezone, +0530, it adds 0530 to hardware clock.
Thanks,
Nachiket.

Hey Tectu,
The wiki article on Time was indeed splendid. It had all the information I needed. Thank you.
Trilby,
You were right, my hardware clock was on local time.
So this is what I did to set it correct.
1. Set the HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" in /etc/rc.conf
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
2. Reboot the system
3. Set the systemclock to UTC by doing a -0530 (minus 05 hours 30 minutes)
# date `date -d "-05 hours -30 mins" +%m%d%H%M%Y`
4. Copy the system clock value to hardware clock
# hwclock --systohc
5. Edit the /etc/rc.conf to set HARDWARECLOCK back to UTC
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
6. Reboot the system.
And yes, now my system clock displays correct time
Just setting HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" also worked. But since I the beginners guide recomments "UTC" I did all this.
Marking the thread as SOLVED.
Regards,
Nachiket.

No time display on DVD player

I have never had this problem in three y ears and I am so far stumped. Read the manual, looked in this forum, overlooked all my preferences and triple checked my project settings. here is the issue
I see no time display or chapter display on my DVD player when I test my DVD. I was wondering if this could be an issue in the encoding process. I did not compress the files, I was given the DVD authoring job after the editor left, and the original media was lost on a melted drive so I am told. THe only way I could do the job was to rip the elemental streams from a test DVD and use those to create a new DVDSP project. Did the editor screw something up in the compression? Or am I screwing something up in the authoring?
In the past I have been know to overlook something obvious, so please, any input is welcome, even if you think, "he must have done that. . ." don't be so sure. . .
Just to clarify, my Toshiba DVD player shows a blank time display and only tells me what title I am in, but not which chapter. Apple DVD player shows both. And the Toshiba shows both with every other DVD I put in there.
Where do I look. . .
Thanks,
Matt

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!
