How to disable Day Light Saving Change with GMT-5 TimeZone ?

Hi,
I want to use a Calendar object for date manipulation, but I want
to disabled DST, because it adds and removes 1 hour depending
on the calculation.
I took a look at severals books but without success. I found a solution at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/gotchas.html#DATE , but it uses UTC TimeZone
which is innapropriate in my case. I must use date with the GMT-5 TimeZone
I want to know if there's a way to disable DST for the GMT-5 TimeZone ?
Thanks in advance ?

I want to know if there's a way to disable DST for the GMT-5 TimeZone ?Yes, but have you tried
TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-5")? In theory, that should give you a DST-invariant time zone 5 hours behind GMT.
When I just tried at (at 10:45AM PDT here), I got a time of 12:45 with this timezone (by using a SimpleDateFormat with this timezone to format a new Date()), which shows that it is ignoring DST.

Day Light Saving Changes for Europe

Hi,
We are using SQL Azure databases in North Europe location.
When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes and brings back the time less by an hour.
Is that something that we need to or can do on the server or database
Having issues in saved records even for auditing purposes.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks
Deepu

When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes
Hello Deepu,
All SQL Azure server in all Azure locations (America, Europe, Asia, etc) returns for GETDATE always the same value: The current UTC date time. No time zone offset, no daylight saving, always UTC only. You can simply check it with this query:
select GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()

Day light saving changes in UCCX scripting.

Hi, We are using UCCX version 8.X and we have script like press 1 to go shangai tem, press 2 to go to US team like that.
In the time of day light saving we are doing manual changes in time of day settings manually when ever the location day light savings changes.
so is there a way to the script refer the local time zone according to the region day light savings.
or the reqired OS patched time zone patches will solve the problem please suggests.
Thank you.
Baskaran.

Hi,
UCCX uses its own time in the server to lookup the time. you need to configure the proper timezone for your UCCX. if shangai and US change start using daylight saving at the same date, you don't need to change your script. if not, unfortunately you need to change the time in the script itself.

Is CTSS will take care of Day light Saving changes

Hello,
In our enviornemt we used CTSS(cluster time synchronization service) in 2 node RAC,NTP services is stopped on Linux nodes.
DST will going to happens on 27-Mar-2015, so is CTSS will take care of DST changes automatically,if not what needs do to care of it.

Far as I know the awnser is NO.
The role of CTSS is keep same date/time in all nodes no matter if date/time is right or wrong, (it not fix date or set DST or something else), during clusterware startup if all nodes has same date/time CTSS choose randomly a node as master and keep other nodes updated using master node as reference. So, if the date/time of master node is wrong all nodes will get a wrong time.
Is highly recommend to use NTP Service instead use of CTSS. When using NTP the CTSS run in observer mode.
Change Date/time or set DST is role of OS (Linux), not Oracle Clusterware. You must check on OS how it was configured.

How toimplement Day light saving procedure

Hi All
how i can implement day light saving procedure on one of my server running on solaris 9. As DST is implementing in Pakistan for the first time, so there is no patch available till yet. Also if the NTP is attached to Server then i need to make a change only on NTP only
Thanks

To fix the system date, do this:
1) get ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2008c.tar.gz
2) extract out the file "asia".
3) clip out the section for pakistan (Asia/Karachi) and save in a file
4) type "/usr/sbin/zic filename_you_saved#3_in"
(you may want to backup what's in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo before you do this).
Mind you, this only does the system. Programs that have their own timezone data
(java, for one) has to be updated too.

Day Light Saving

Hi,
In our application log gets printed with the system's timestamp value.If for Summer time or Day Light saving purpose if the timing gets changed, will it affect in any way, the way the log content with timestamp is written to the logs? Please suggest how to handle the day light saving scenario in java ?
Regards,
Asha

No, unless you're running your software in Australia or USA or (bunch of other countries whose DST rules have changed or will change soon), which covers a very large user base :-).
In which case you should be running the latest update of your version (in your case, 1.4.2_11, I think, but check to be sure).
TimeZone rules keep changing in various countries as legislative bodies love to tinker with that sort of stuff, so you should always keep to the latest update for whatever version you choose to run on.

EDM price profile upload process and Day light saving issue

we have a requirement to upload EDM price profile (with 60 min interval). Which are the function module or BAPI's are there to upload the price profile in EDM. Also which table holds this dat. I guess it is EPROFVAL60 and can be seen using transaction EEDM01.
Also, there is a scenario of DST (day light saving- US client) mean sometime there will be 23hrs value or sometime 25 value. How to handle this. I guess all this price value store in table EPROFVAL60 (hourly value) but the structure of this table can take 24 hrs value. Any suggestion on this.

In the profile header there is the field u201CTime Zoneu201D. There the specification of
Time Zone for EDM Objects is possible, e. g. where an installation is billed or profile data is displayed.
The configuration in IMG u2013 customizing leads to the transaction STZAC and STZBC.
This updates the tables: TTZD - Summer time rules or TTZDV - Summer time rules (variable dates)
Please watch the OSS notes frequently, since there are some updates lately.
Kind regards, Tom

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?

I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.

Day light saving effect on standby databases

Regards,

Its applicable only in RAC environment, where you should have same time acceptable < 30 seconds around.
One of my earlier post, i given example, pasting again
Lets example:-
Primary database is in Far North - Canada
Standby Database is in Bangalore - India
So here time zones are completely different, at least 12 hours difference. So there is no need to be same time in DR environment.

Suppressing Day Light Saving in DateFormat

Hello.
I am having problem finding a solution to a use of DateFormat class in my application.
A format I have in my DateFormat object is converting a long primitive representation of date and time (ie. yyyyMMddHHmm, eg. 200510300300) to a string representation in "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm".
Now, my time zone is in EST (GMT + 10), and has a day light saving starting from 30th October 2005, 02:00am.
Problem is that "the" tick on 2005-10-30 02:00 gets automatically converted to 2005-10-30 03:00.
So...
200510300200 is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
200510300300is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
But my requirement is...
200510300200 is converted to 2005-10-30 02:00
200510300300 is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
Is there a way to do this?
Do I have to manually convert the string/numbers without using DateFormat?
Thank you for your assistance!

Surely this from TimeZone answers your question?
You can use the getAvailableIDs method to iterate through all the supported time zone IDs. You can then choose a supported ID to get a TimeZone. If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the supported IDs, then a custom time zone ID can be specified to produce a TimeZone. The syntax of a custom time zone ID is:
CustomID:
GMT Sign Hours : Minutes
GMT Sign Hours Minutes
GMT Sign Hours
Sign: one of
+ -
Hours:
Digit
Digit Digit
Minutes:
Digit Digit
Digit: one of
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Hours must be between 0 to 23 and Minutes must be between 00 to 59. For example, "GMT+10" and "GMT+0010" mean ten hours and ten minutes ahead of GMT, respectively.
The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard. No daylight saving time transition schedule can be specified with a custom time zone ID.
At the end it says no Daylight Savings can be specified

Alarm setting and Day Light Saving

I set an alarm for a "Weekdays" at 4:50 am. Since the Day Light Saving started, my alarm keeps going of at 3:50 am. The setting stills show 4:50 am.
I can delete the old alarm and create a new one but I want to see if anyone having the same problem.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is this a bug that Apple wasn't aware off?
BTW, I have an IPhone 4.
Thanks,

I have the same issue with my iPhone 3GS

How to disable power light?

Hi guys,
Any idea how to disable the glowing power light on my HP Mini 210-1142CL? The constant glowing light is annoying, especially as I am trying to sleep at night. Even worse, it seems to run down the battery. My mac will sleep consistently with the obnoxious glowing light, last for days. The HP winds down in sleep mode in one day. Great battery life while Im working on it, terrible while its sleeping.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Justin
