Java.sql.SQLDataException: ORA-01878: specified field not found in datetime

Question

I am getting the exception mentioned in the subject field. Here is the query
select * from tabel_abc where from_tz(cast(LAST_RECEIVED_TIME + timeout_duration/86400 as timestamp),'UTC') <systimestamp at time zone 'UTC';
This is happening only for the during the daylight saving, because the date operation is returning the incorrect time value.
timeout_duration holds the value in terms of number of seconds.
Please suggest how to resolve the issue.

When I run the following expression on this value I get the ORA-01878 error:
(EXTRACT(DAY FROM ((ETD_ZULU - 4/24) - SYSTIMESTAMP)))

That isn't the same as the snippet you first posted
This works
select EXTRACT(DAY FROM ((ETD_ZULU - 4/24) - SYSTIMESTAMP)) from
(select cast (systimestamp as timestamp(6)) etd_zulu from dual)The first snippet you posted was
>
select * from tabel_abc where from_tz(cast(LAST_RECEIVED_TIME + timeout_duration/86400 as timestamp),'UTC') <systimestamp at time zone 'UTC';

And it includes time zone. All of the web references I have found indicate the problem is either a missing timezone or a timezone mismatch.
I can't reproduce the problem with the last snippet you used. Are you certain that ETD_ZULE is timestamp and does not include timezone?
Do you have a complete query that fails? If so, try to narrow the query down to one record that is causing the problem. If you have to you can use brute force approach. Assume that 60 records should be produced. Add
WHERE ROWNUM < 30to the query. If it runs clean the problem is in the second half so use '< 40', and keep testing until you know which record. Then examine the contents of the field for that record.
Without some code to try to reproduce the problem there isn't much other help to offer.
