Issue regarding local time

Hi,
Assume that an application with db data are supposed to be installed in London (in a data center) whereas ... all users who would connect to this db are in Greece.
The db time zone would be of London ... which means that the date-time data would be saved to the database to this time ... whereas the local time zone(of users) is different... The local users (in Greece) must see the local time and not that of London....
Of course , a solution to this could be of using for datetime db columns the TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE datatype instead of date.
But this imposes a different data schema.... (replacement of all date datatype to TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE) , which cannot be done.....
Can you consider any other solution....?????
Note: I use Oracle10g v.2 .....
Thanks....
Sim

I do believe you can set the client time zone via OS environment variables I think that is not practical and possible since all Greek people , theoretically of course, could use the services provided by the web application....
So , how to set the client time zone via OS env variable in client machines of all people who i do not know if ever would connect or not....?????
However how can it be done....(the settting of the client time zone via OS environment variables)???
Am i considering something wrong....?????
though the best solution would probably be to convert the application to use timestamps with time zone info.To make this solution applicable , i consider that i have to alter all date datatype of the schema to timestamp with local time zone datatype.... and of course all the code.... in the application.......
It may be the better solution but it cannot be done since ... the tables are over 2000 , the db packages/procedures/functions are approximately 100 , let alone the application package/procedure/function......
I think , considering the conditions expressed above , the best solution is using the current_date function in order to register the datetime according to the specific time zone ... I simply have to replace the sysdate with current_date.....
The only problem , which would make me to follow the solution with timestamp with local time zone datatype, is when people from different areas in the wolrd - with various time zones would use the application......
And something else....
Don't forget that Greece has just one time zone...+02:00
Thanks.... for your ideas

I am having an issue regarding a placed order via customer service department

I recently relocated to Anchorage Alaska as part of a permanent change of station per the United States Air Force. I was initially located on the East Coast in the lower 48 and at the time of activating my contract I had purchased two separate Iphone 4 devices. I also recently went in to a store in February to purchase a Nexus 7 as well.
Upon arrival in Anchorage I had multiple issues regarding the Iphone 4 devices including being unable to send and receive text messages & imessages, unable to make phone calls, dropped phone calls, unable to utilize GPS, as well as not being able to access general account information and use anything related to web browsing or data usage. It was determined that because the Iphone 4 operates on the 3g network and Verizon does not have a 3g network in Alaska, as a result I was utilizing an extended service network from another carrier. As a result of this I am only able to use my Iphone 4 devices while connected to my wi-fi network while within my home, which is totally unacceptable.
I was not made aware that I would be dealing with this when I moved to Alaska and inquired as the the use of the devices I currently owned prior to purchasing the tablet. I was assured by three separate store employees one of which being a manager that all devices would function at 100% efficiency including the Iphone 4s. In fact I was recently billed 350$ for roaming charges last month, which prompted me to speak with a representative via the online chat regarding the significant increase she said that she was unable to process any sort of credit to the account regardless of what I had been told at a local Verizon store where I purchased the tablet.
As a result of all of these mishaps since arriving here in Alaska I determined I was in need of newer devices that utilize the 4G LTE network currently provided by Verizon in Alaska. I know for a fact that the 4G LTE works great up here because my Nexus 7 tablet runs flawlessly and does not incur roaming charges when utilizing the 4G LTE network.
Yesterday I attempted to contact Verizon through the live chat feature regarding upgrading two of the devices on my account. The live chat representative immediately asked me when my upgrade date was. Upon telling her my upgrade date 9/29/2014 she told me I should contact the customer service department as I might be eligible for an early upgrade. I then proceeded to contact the customer service department using my Iphone 4.
My attempt to speak to anyone in the customer service department resulted in a merry-go-round of being put on hold 6 separate times by two different employees, both of which had me wait for more than an hour while they attempted to speak to a manager to gain approval for an early upgrade. The first rep seemed almost sure she would be able to have my devices upgraded early especially considering the issues I was having regarding service.
The second rep seemed newer and was very dodgy about my questions and was very unwilling to help at first. He even mentioned that I had been a Verizon customer for almost two years, had never missed a single payment and had outstanding account history which should have garnered some sort of importance to the level of my request. But I digress, during this time I was disconnected from the call twice from each separate representative.
Both reps assured me they would call me back, I never did get a call back from either one of those reps and I was becoming very frustrated having waited four hours trying to find some sort of solution to my current predicament.
After waiting an hour for the second representative to call back I grew impatient and contacted the customer service department, was put on hold again, and finally reached a third customer service representative who was able to provide a solution for me.
I explained everything I had been dealing with to Cory ID # V0PAC61, both regarding the phones, the issue of the level of service I was receiving, the dire need for working devices and the multiple times I had been disconnected. I explained to him as a result of these issues I was certainly considering switching to a different provider, a local provider even who could provide me the adequate service that I require for my mobile devices.
I explained to Cory that I had been with Verizon for almost two years, and I had been on a relatives account prior to owning my own Verizon account and had never received this kind of treatment when trying to work towards a simple solution. Cory proceeded to tell me he needed to put me on hold to see if there was anything that could be done regarding the upgrades of the device considering all of the trouble I had been dealing with.
After Cory reconnected with me in the phone call he was able to successfully reach a solution by allowing me to upgrade my devices. We conversed about the options available and I eventually decided to upgrade both Iphone 4 devices to Moto X devices as we determined those would be sufficient for my needs while in Alaska. I also proceeded to add two Otter Box Defender cases to the order so that the devices would have sufficient protection. Cory inquired as to whether or not I would like to purchase insurance for the phones as well and I opted for the $5.00 monthly insurance which including damage and water protection.
Cory explained to me the grand total for the devices which included an activation fee of $35.00 for each device, $49.99 for each Otter Box case, and an additional $50.00 for each device which would be refunded as a rebate upon receipt of the devices and activation, a rebate that I would be required to submit. Cory explained to me that the devices would most likely arrive Tuesday of 6/17 and no later than Wednesday 6/18.
Cory took my shipping information and told me everything was all set and the only thing left to do was to transfer me to the automated service so that I could accept the 2 year agreement for both devices. I thanked him very much, took his name and ID# so that I might leave positive feedback about his exemplary customer service and was then transferred to the automated service.
Once transferred to the automated service I was then prompted to enter both telephone numbers for the devices that would be upgraded, I was then required to accept the new 2 year agreement for both devices and after doing so I was required to end the call. I did so in an orderly fashion and expected a confirmation # to arrive in my email regarding the placed order.
I have never received a confirmation email. I decided to sleep on it and assumed a confirmation email would be sent sometime tomorrow. Nothing has since been received however. I woke up early this morning around 6AM Alaska time to speak to another live chat representative, Bryan, in the billing department who assured me the order was currently processing and verified the order #. I asked him whether or not it was typical for a customer to not receive a confirmation email for an order placed and he said it can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days. He then stated that he had taken note of the issues I was experiencing and told me he would transfer me to the sales department as they would be able to provide more information regarding the shipment of both devices and a confirmation email, as he stated he did not want me to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive said devices.
I was then transferred to Devon in the sales department via the live chat service where I was then required to repeat everything I had said to both Bryan and the other representatives I had spoken too. After a lengthy discussion and repeating everything I have just wrote he told me the order was indeed processing and that he would send a confirmation email in the next 30 minutes.
That was 2 hours ago. It is now 8am Alaska time and I still have not received a confirmation email regarding my order. I was sent an email by Verizon an hour ago stating I had a device to "discover". The email contained no information regarding the shipment of my device, the order confirmation number, or anything regarding my account. The email I received was a typical spam email asking an individual to check out the current available phones and sign up for a new contract.
All I want is a confirmation email to assure that the devices are being sent. I need my phone for work and to communicate with my family in the lower 48. I desperately need to make sure that the device is in fact being sent to the proper address, this is why a confirmation email of the order is so important. I do not care about the shipping speed I just want what I ask to be taken care of for a change. I would hate to sit here unable to determine what the status of my devices are only for the order to be stuck in "processing" limbo and be unable to receive the devices when I was told they would be sent.
I feel I have been given the run around treatment way more than is typically given with any company when an individual is trying to work towards a solution. I have been patient and cordial with everyone I have spoken with, I have not raised my voice or shown stress or anger towards the situation I have only tried my best to work towards a solution with anyone I have spoken too but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this situation.
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. This situation has left a sour taste in my mouth and if the devices were indeed not actually processed in an order, or they were not shipped correctly, or in fact if the order had never existed at all it will only deter me from keeping my Verizon account active and affect my decision to switch to another provider.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

DP background jobs in local time zone

We are using APO DP in an international environment (SCM 4.1). We have setup up the system, that is using the local time zone (personal user settings), which is working fine in interactive planning (data views & macros). But when executing the macros
in background (APO background jobs triggered immediately by a process chain), the macro is run based on the server time and not in the local time zone. The ALEREMOTE user is set up in the same way online users regarding time zone settings.
Can someone explain, why the local time zone isn't used in the macros when executing in background, and tell me which setting we have missed.
Many thanks in advance
Marco

HI,
I understand the issue, the issue is the Australia gets days very first from the world.. it almost GMT+11 hrs. will almost a day difference to US.
I am not sure whether my proposal will make sense, but let me try
As the month completes we will copy the sales history for the closed month. where technically the the month is current month as per the system time.
Why can not change the macro to copy current period and run at system time? i am not sure aobut the otherconstriantes.
But looking at your question, it could be possible where your client has the local time zone defined. you can check the same from any APO screen, from menu > systems->status. you can see both time zone ( local) system time.
I suggest you check with basis if we can use the local time zone, we can use the localtimezone but agian everyone has to use our local time.. NO SENSE i guess..

Display Start Time & End Time on Outlook follow Local Time

Hi All,
We are using MS Outlook 2007 and got an issue with displaying time on meeting. According to the screenshot below:
Our Local Time is SGT, but the inviter's Local Time is VNT. How we can change the Start Time & End Time display follow SGT?
Thank you.
Jimmy

Hi,
In Outlook 2007, this can't be changed. The meeting attendees can't change the time zone when they open the meeting on their calendars.
Anyway, it should display correctly on the calendar in the attendee's time zone.
I found a similar thread below, this customer found these workarounds helpful:
Method 1: Use the Calendar Options page in OWA
1. Log into your mailbox using OWA
2. Click Options
3. Click Calendar Options
4. Scroll down to the "Automatic Calendar Processing" section
5. Disable the "Always place new meeting requests tentatively on my calendar"
checkbox and click Save.
Method 2: Use the Exchange Management Shell
1. start the Exchange Management Shell
2. run the following command: Set-MailboxCalendarSettings <mailbox name> -AddNewRequestsTentatively:$False
The thread is below:

Cannot GR due to the time difference between System Time & Local Time

Hi All,
We are facing any issue where the user can not do the GR as per the scheduling aggreement before 9:00am. We figured out the root cause being the difference btween the system time & local time but we are not sure. The system date is behind a day before 9:00am. For e.g. when it is 1st January 23:59 hrs system time, the local time is 2nd January 08:59 hrs. The system is not allowing GR for the earlier / later date.
Can anybody tell us what could be the issue?

Issue regarding Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART in SAP TPM IP

Gurus,
I am facing an issue regarding SAP TPM IP ( HANA)
I have 3 Infoproviders
Planning infocube, Planning DSO1, Planning DSO2 and i created multiprovider and added these 3 infoproviders into it. I have created Aggregation level on multiprovider. Created Bex Input ready query on Aggregation level.
Issue is Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART.
I tried debugging it and found it is trying to read i_r_pro -> n_ts_part. It is populated with only 3 values (i.e. 2DSOs and 1 Cube), whereas <l_partprov>-partprov is referring to Aggergation level, hence read statement isn't successful, it is dumping.
The class CL_RSD_INFOPROV_CACHE->GET() method is trying to populate the N_TS_PART.N_TS_PART uses P_R_INFOPROV table which seems to be already populated. So, I debugged all the below methods to find out how the P_R_INFOPROV but couldn't find any clue.
Can any one help,it would be really help.
Thanks
Ashok

Hello Gregor,
On the launch of planning layout it throws an error message:
Planning is not possible RSCRM_IMP_CORE008.
When I debugged, i got to a point wherein
particular Real Time Planning DSO is
not getting retrieved under the MultiProivder in below class.
Class: CL_RSCRM_IMP_ACTIONS_SERVICE, Method: GET_INFOPROV is not
returning the real time Info-Provider Name(i.e. Planning DSO)
underlyingthe Multiprovider.
I've also tried to run the report mentioned by you for the Multiprovider but issue still exists.
Let me know, if you have any pointers on this topic.
Thanks,

HT4576 I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip before I go, and see those local times in the places I visit, but also be able to set new appointments while I am traveling, in the local times. Can I do this with Time Zone Support? If not,

I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip on my iPhone 4S before I go, and have them appear as I put them in (for the local time) when visiting other countries. I also want to be able to adjust times and set up new appointments when I am overseas for the local time. Can I do this using the Time Zone Support or any other way?
Basically I want to do what I can do with a piece of paper - write down the time for when I will be there, and have it viewable when I am there, but also be able to put down new times while there.

Hi.
Regarding your question about reverting back- yes, I think you can. If you make a backup of your current configuration in Server Admin (by dragging the configuration file to your desktop- cool, no?) then you can load that one back in should your configuration not work. If you have the manual from Apple it should describe this process.
Network speed post-op? I don't think you will need to worry. Even using home directories stored on our OS X Server there is no network slowdown (that you can notice or that impacts the wider LAN in any case). It shouldn't slow down access to files, applications (which still come from the local drive anyway) or individual internet connections (even with filtering).
In our experience some of these things have actually got faster- but a lot of that is user perception. Same goes for people who will know you have configured the server and that they are now accessing files through your network from the server, and who really think it is slower. File coming from your local hard drive will always be quicker- but network access isn't that bad that it will make you barf and run in the opposite direction.
Something to look at: connection speed between clients and switching technology in your office. In other words, what kinds of switches are you using, what line speed have you got (100MB/s?) and is the connection from your server to the switch gigabit? Make sure it is.
Enjoy

Issue regarding job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP

Hi,
We are facing an issue regarding an event triggered job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP.
Details of the job
ABAP Program -> RSAL_BATCH_TOOL_STARTUPDISP
User -> DDIC
Job Frequency -> Event Periodic
Event -> SAP_MONITORING_STARTUP_DISPATCH
We performed Database Refresh and this job has come from Source System. We have deleted the job in Target System but after that also we are getting continuous error message in SM21.
Error message is as follows:
14:33:36 DIA 001 000 SAPSYS EA S Failed to reschedule a periodic job
14:33:36 DIA 001 000 SAPSYS EB C > Job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP
On digging down we got the below information in SM21 regarding the error:
Documentation for system log message EA S :
This message is output by one of the job schedulers active in the
system (e.g. time or event-based scheduler). It indicates a problem
related to the database. An attempt was made to reschedule a periodic
job and write the respective control data in the database. This error
occurred for one of the associated database operations (for example,
INSERT or UPDATE).
Another cause of the error is failure to generate a new job ID number.
A subsequent message will point this out.
The following courses of action are possible:
Check whether there are any other notes on this problem next to this
message in the system log, for example direct messages from the
database interface. These details generally bring you closer to the
actual cause of the problem.
The additional information for this message contains the name of the
database table for which the error occurred.
If you determine that the error occurred during the SELECT access to
table TBTCI, the internal report belonging to this background job has
been deleted. In this case, there is normally a background job in the
'terminated' status, which ended due to runtime error
'LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND'. Delete this job to prevent further
unnecessary scheduling on the part of the background processing
scheduler. You must then reschedule the job concerned.
As rescheduling of the periodic job could not be completed
successfully, this job is not executed at first. The background
processing scheduler takes this job and attempts to schedule it again.
Depending on the repetition period, gaps in running the background jobs
can occur for successful scheduling (i.e. the background jobs that were
unsuccessfully scheduled will be missing in the job overview if their
execution date elapsed in the meantime).
Since the next start of the periodic job could not be scheduled
correctly, there is no entry in the job overview for the planned start
date.
If the system failed to generate the job ID number, you will find notes
on what to do next in the long text of the respective system log
message.
We have fixed also Background Object in SM61.
Kindly help to fix this issue. Looking forward for reply.
Thanks,
Soumya

I am also facing similar issue . I found below SM21 entries daily . becoz of this my system performance becomes slows down. no idea which tables are getting filled up due to this .
> Job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP
Failed to reschedule a periodic job
For temporary fix we have changed the below memory parameters when system performance is poor .
EM/TOTAL_SIZE_MB = 16384
ES/SHM_SEGS_VERSION = 2
ES/TABLE = SHM_SEGS
But we need to fix these system log entries as still we are getting these errors. If anybody knows the permanent fix of this error that will be great for us.

Can I regard a time capsule as a wireless external hard drive?, Can I regard a time capsule as a wireless external hard drive?

Can I just regard a time capsule as a wireless external drive? I don't think I need time machine to back up, I just want more space to store my files (music, moves, photos). To save the space on my Mac, can I move those things to TC, and open them(watch movies, photos and listen to music) directly?
And, if I bootcamp windows 8 os, can I still share/use the stuff on the TC, like a regular(wireless) external hard drive?

Apple says specifically not to move iphoto to network drive.
iphoto network no no.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.

First "verify" is a total waste of time - - either do nothing or repair, but never verify. Verify is pointless.
Those messages are to be ignored and have nothing to do with your shutdown issue.
A quick search of these boards will reveal dozens of threads about the SUID and cups things.
Ignore them. As they say, they are "warnings" not errors and have been around since an early Leopard update.
Look in your console logs for the real issues regarding Acrobat and System Preferences hanging up.
Check your login items.
Create a new user account and see if the hangs occur with the new account.

Converting UTC time stamp to local time (CET)

Is there a smooth way to convert a time stamp from UTC time into the local time (e.g. CET)?
CONVERT TIME STAMP.... Just converts the timestamp from local time zone to UTC, is there another comand to perform the opposite conversion?
TIA!
/Armin

Hi Armin
The statement does not only convert from local time zone to UTC you can specifiy any timezone:
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
        INTO [DATE dat] [TIME tim]
        [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst].
The following statement can also be used to convert from date time to timestamp.
CONVERT DATE dat [TIME tim [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst]]
        INTO TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz.
