How to set DST/time zone consistently?

I'm using several laptops and a desktop Mac (10.6 all) with Outlook 2011 to access a calendar on an Exchange 2010 server (SP1 I think). I see the following weird behavior. For some (not all) yearly calendar entries, like birthdays, which are set to be "whole day" (which then has the time grayed out as 12am), every once in a while they get automatically changed to last 2 days, and the grayed out times say "8pm to 8pm". I change it back (hit "edit series", and the dates are still grayed out, so I have to change Recurrence to "once only", change the date back to be just the 1 day, and then set it to repeat yearly, and click "all day event" off and back on for the 8pm to change to 12am), but some time later I look and it's back to lasting 2 days! Apparently this has to do with time zone and DST info being different on various clients. I posted on the Microsoft forum and was pointed to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1638
So now I'm trying to set consistent Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone on my laptop, desktops, iPhone, and iPad. I think I'm missing something because it's still happening.
On my iPhone, in the Date&Time preferences, it says time zone is "New York"; in Calendar preferences, it says Time Zone Support is set to Boston. In Outlook, it says "UTC-05:00 Eastern Time US & Canada". Is this all correct? Where, on all these devices, do I set the time zone and DST so that it's all consistent?

Hi Neha,
The [TimeZoneAlias] section should have all the mobile device time zone in it. The spelling has to be exactly what is seen on the mobile device. The Mobile Device timezone transmits to the Agentry Server , it maps based on what the server understands, then transmit back to the Backend.
Eg:
[TimeZoneAlias]
Australian Eastern Standard Time=(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
India Standard Time = (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi"
Note: Agentry server while adjusting the timezone gets the list of timezones from Windows registry. It was found that some of the timezone settings may not be recognized by the Windows OS in the server. Please verify the same.
Modify your Agentry.ini to include the exact spelling of your mobile device time zone alias plus the corresponding equivalent as understood by the Agentry Server. I am also attaching the official KBA note tied to Time Zone Alias.

How to set a time zone in Agentry.ini

Hi All,
I am working on Syclo - MRS integration. We assign a service order in MRS which is in (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh .
When the Syclo client downloads the service order it is in a different time zone and it displays the time according to their time zone.
Which creates a mismatch in the assignments.
I have modified the time zone in Agentry.ini to pick the time (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh. but this is not working.
Can you please check the Agentry.ini or suggest how to set this.

How to set the Time Zone for BPM 10 g participant.

Hi All,
One BPM 10g(version 10.3.2) application runs on windows server. There are some participants assigned to some role. How to view and adjust the time zone of any existing participant.
Please advise. It's urgent.
Thanks,
Anupam

It's been a long time, but if I remember correctly - in 10g a participant sets this by logging into the Workspace and clicking "Settings". Believe the time zone is something that the individual end user can select there.

How do I set a time zone not in the standard list?

I would like to set my time zone to Lord Howe Standard TIme(LHST), which is GMT +10:30hrs. How do I do that? How do I check that the standard time servers know when to change for daylight saving time?
Regards, Rob

1. I have to log out and back in for the change to take effect in system preferences and the clock
I did warn you about this ("This change will not show up in the Menu Bar clock until you have logged out and back in"), although when I did it the change was reflected in System Preferences immediately. To reset the clock without logging out,
killall SystemUIServer
You can do this while you are still root, i.e. before the exit statement, or after it.
2. Lord Howe is the only place listed in the "closest city" list
Well, that's because it isn't in the Preference Pane's list of places so it cannot compute distances.
3. If I click anywhere on the world map, the time zone changes to whatever I clicked on and I have to follow your instructions, then log out and in again, to get back to Lord Howe time
The obvious answer is don't click on the map!
I can't understand why Apple hide this stuff. I think there should be a way to manually set the time zone offset as well as daylight saving start and end dates - we aren't all idiots. At the very least they should make all the time zones in the zoneinfo directory available, perhaps under a checkbox marked "rare zones" or similar.
Well, I suggest you send Apple Feedback about this.
Thank you all for your efforts, if anyone can solve the issues above I'd be very grateful.
Actually the changes to add Lord Howe are relatively trivial, if you know what you are doing. One complication is that "Lord Howe" would have to be added as a localizable string: don't know what might happen if it were missing. I'll play around some more, but don't hold your breath!

How to set current time ?

Hi,
I am in eastern time zone and my Apex sysdate shows EST. However the date picker shows four hours ahead (GMT) . The reason I found is the current_time stamp set to 00:00 instead of -04:00. (DBTIMEZONE) . Our DBA does not know much about APEX . When I made qurries about time zone and time stamp at SQL Commonds, the results are as follow:
select SESSIONTIMEZONE from dual;
SESSIONTIMEZONE
+00:00
select current_timestamp,systimestamp, localtimestamp from dual
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP SYSTIMESTAMP LOCALTIMESTAMP
10-AUG-07 01.07.40.740216 PM +00:00 10-AUG-07 09.07.40.740199 AM -04:00 10-AUG-07 01.07.40.740216 PM
when I tried the following statement,
alter session set time_zone= '-4:00';
I got
Statement processed.
but no thing has been changed.
The question is how to set the time so that in the date picker with time It will show me the correct default time. Right now it is showing four hours ahead.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Adnan,
Convert is from date to string :
String bldate=item.getBilling_Date();
                                                  String byy=bldate.substring(0,4);
                                                  String bmm=bldate.substring(4,6);
                                                  String bdd=bldate.substring(6,8);
                                                  String bdate=byy+"-"+bmm+"-"+bdd;

Synchronize system time and set system time zone in SAP

Hi,
How to Synchronize system time and set system time zone in any SAP system?

Nabarun -
Setting of the system time may be different depending on your enviroment and systems. (Windows, AIX, etc)
Windows enviroment you can use a time server or net time command, I believe its simialr with UNIX but I do not know that command.
Setting the time zone in SAP is done through the IMG in client 000. You can get there with transaction SPRO.
Once in the IMG, navigate to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain Time Zones (here you can define the time zone settings/rules)
Then go to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain System Settings
There you can change the time zones for the system.
Hope this helps.

When setting it manually, simply look for a location in the same time zone, if your community isn't listed.

How to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

how to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

The easiest and sure way is to use bridge on the TC as the method of connection. The TC then becomes a device in your network and gets its IP from the main router that I presume BT supply.
Method is,
1. Plug the TC WAN port into the BT supplied modem by ethernet.
2. Plug the computer you are using for the setup into the TC by ethernet.
3. Run the airport utility .. go to internet tab on the top menu..
In the bottom option, Connection Sharing choose off (bridged mode)
4. Go to the wireless page and setup wireless connection as you like it.. using whichever band you want. And make sure security is set to the highest setting, wpa2 personal. Put in a decent wireless passkey.
5. Press the update and fix whatever else the TC will show as needing fixing.. usually security stuff.
6. You can then disconnect the ethernet and connect by wireless if you want. Any port on the TC will now be a LAN port, including WAN.
This is assuming BT supply a wireless router with built in vdsl/other type of modem. If so you normally will not be able to bridge the modem, unless BT are using pppoe authentication which they haven't in the past.
If you really need to use the TC as a router then you will need to work out an alternative method. You can double NAT by placing the TC in the DMZ of the BT router if that is an option. It is not without issues in general.

Hi,
You can activate Time-Dependent Publishing Service on your XML form and once the Lifetime of Documents is over then the document is not visible to users.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c1/c87d3cf8ff3934e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
It is only invisible but not deleted!
So to delete all expired XML Forms you should run Scheduler Tasks for Time-Dependent Publishing:
<b>TimeBasePublishingUnpublish</b>
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3a/bc37b5789dee4eaa8005bff84f14cf/frameset.htm
You can also create your own Scheduler Task which deletes/archieves all expired XML Forms.
