Local timezone is ignored

I can do whatever I want, my oracle javavm always uses datetimes as "GMT". I can even set ZONE_OFFSETS manually, set locales etc., but nothing changes.
the easiest example is to try :
System.out.println(new Date()).toString());
where oracles jvm incorectly outputs :
Fri May 04 10:48:48 GMT 2001
but suns jvm outputs :
Fri May 04 13:04:00 CEST 2001
When calling System.getproperty(user.timezone) suns jvm says
"Europe/Berlin"
and oracle reports
"CET"
Any help is realy appreciated

Stefan,
I've seem to be with the same problem you've got..
what I've done was setting the default JVM timezone in my
application using the SimpleTimeZone class as follow:
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
SimpleTimeZone stz = new SimpleTimeZone(tz.getRawOffset(),tz.getID());
System.out.println("Timezone = "+stz.toString());
stz.setRawOffset(-10800000); //put your offset in miliseconds from GMT
TimeZone.setDefault(stz);
Notice this will only work for the application that implements
this piece of code.. once it is finished.. the JVM timezone returns
to be the wrong one..
I'm still looking for a better solution than that (maybe set the
timezone offset for the JVM directly).. but can't find how
if you have something else that might help.. I would appreciate it.

Get user's locale / Timezone

Hi
I am developing Customized Calendar jsp on OCS by
only using Calendar API(calendarlet.jar) not using Portal API.
I have problem to get User's Locale/TimeZone that User had set in Preference.
Calendar API Select and Display baesed on UDT
CASE :
" User had choice certain TimeZone in Preference
then Calendar PKG display time based on User Selected Time-Zone
but Customized Calender JSP displayed time on UCT "
How can I get locale/TimeZone that user had set in Calendar Preference ?
(Using calendar API)

That's odd. You say that java.util.Date doesn't have
any timezone in it, but when I insert a breakpoint
and look at the contents of the object it has a
sun.util.calendar.BaseCalendar and that has a
timezone in it. Date != Calendar. A Date is just a long. Like I said, right this second, if you, I, somebody in Chicago, somebody in NY, somebody in London, and somebody in Tokyo all create a Date, the long will be the same for all of us--number of millis since 1/1/1970 00:00:00 GMT. (Note that this does NOT meant that Date "has" a TZ. It does not.) The TZ comes when a String is created from the Date.
I always just assumed that that
timezone must be what I was having trouble with.
As for the DB, I assumed that mysql was timezone
agnostic, and simply took times in and spit them out
exactly the same. Are you saying that when I put 8AM
in, if a person in england had that database that
same value would read midnight? If so, is there any
way to make it timezone neutral? It's complicating
things.It is TZ-agnostic. You're overcomplicating it.
// In LA, I do
date = new Date(); // Ignore util.Date/sql.Date/Timestamp distinction for now
S.o.p(date); // prints out Thu., 9:53 a.m. PDT
ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into whatever values (?)");
ps.setDate(1, date);
ps.executeUpdate();
// In London, you do
rs = execute("select * from whatever"); // yeah, I'm fudging the jdbc stuff. Just lazy
rs.next();
date = rs.getDate(1); // this Date wraps the same long as my original in LA
S.o.p(date); // prints out Thu., 5:53 p.m. BST or whatever
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(some format);
sdf.setTimeZone(new york);
S.o.p(sdf.format(date)); // prints Thu., 12:53 p.m. EDTThe DB stores "N millis since the epoch", or something equivalent. My LA Java and your London Java read that value and interpret it as the same point in time. When we print it, it converts to the appropriate TZ.

With Time Zone Support on Calendar no longer automatically adjust to the local timezone.

Apples support forums are riddled with Discussions about problems with being able to dicate a specific time zone for appointments. Many of these postings, as well as their corresponding solutions, are unnecessarily lenghtly when the root cause of all of this is a one very simple mistake by Apple. Right now to be able to assign a specifc timezone for an appointment using the Calendar app on the iPhone you have to have "Time Zone Support" turned on in Settings. The problem is that when you turn on this feature the Calendar app stops automatically updating the calendar to reflect the local time zone you are in. These are simply two seperate items that have no reason to be tied together. Apple could easily correct almost all of the issues people are having with this topic if it simply split this into two seperate options that users can turn on/off seprately:
1.) Enter time zone for each appointment. YES/NO
2.) Adjust Calendar to the local timezone. YES/NO
It is virturally incomprehensible that Apple has not fixed this. It was clearly a mistake.

I have this problem too and am frustrated - it's not solving no matter what i do. And now Siri is totally bonkers too on this new software update - can't even pull from my contacts when I ask her to look someone up. What the heck is going on at Apple software? Have they been hiring a bunch of arrogant, crap programmers? I am seriously thinking of not buying an iPhone again after having one for 5 years. So disappointed!!

JDev 10.1.3.4 on Vista 64 bit not using local timezone setting

When I try to get the current date by doing a new java.util.Date() I get the date and time but its not in my local timezone. I am in Eastern Time zone US & Canada which is GMT - 5.00. JDev for some reason keeps giving the time without subtracting 5 hours from GMT . So if now is 13.41pm its saying it is 18.41pm. I was using jdk 1.5, now using 1.6 and same problem. I tried it on Eclipse and everything works fine. I tried compiling and running a small program without JDev, using the jdks, and all is well. This must be something with Jdev.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Hi Thanassis,
not sure what has changed between 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4 in that area;
but, without knowing Steve's sample in depth, I would say that the error you get in 10.1.3.4 is expected as the current row has changed in your Web Container.
To avoid the JBO-35007, you can change the StateValidation on the iterator
<iterator ... StateValidation="false"/> That's the preferred option when only one (or a few) iterator causes the error
This won't be possible however if the code is generic and involves all iterators (as in CustomViewObjectImpl).
Then you have to change the property EnableTokenValidation on the page definition:
<pageDefinition ... EnableTokenValidation="false"> I'm currently working on other JBO-35007 errors reported by customers and I'm waiting for feedback from development about the Token Validation.
I'll let you know as soon as I get more news.
Regards,
Didier.

Display Browser Local Timezone

Hello:
We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3 and Oracle database 11.2.0.2 on RedHat 5.8 and we have users all over the world.
In our database, we have table columns defined as data type: TimeStamp with Local Timezone.
In a browser window in ADF, we want these table columns to automatically adjust the time to be in browser local timezone.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Local timezone name

Hi, how can i get the local timezone name?
Date now = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ssa z");
String todate = formatter.format(now);
System.out.println(todate);the output would be:
Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:16:13PM GMT+05:30I want to display IST or PDT inplace of GMT+05:30. Is there any way? Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
For many of the timezones, JRE 1.3.1 displays GMT
offset patterns instead of local timezone name. e.g.,
For the Zone America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
GMT-05:00/GMT-04:00 is displayed instead of
EST-Eastern Standard Time/EDT-Eastern Daylight Time.
Similary, for America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires,
GMT-03:00 is displayed instead of ART-Argentine
Time.
For Asia/Macau, GMT+08:00 is displayed instead of
CST-China Standard Time.
There are some other timezones which have this
behavior.
Has any of you obsered this behavior ? Any solution
for this ?
Thanks
GuruI don't know about other TimeZone issues, but 1.3 is going to have problems with the new DST rules in the US.

GregorianCalendar with local timezone but no DST

I need to use the local time but I don't want to use the Daylight Savings Time (DST) rule
GregorianCalendar oTime = new GregorianCalendar( nFromYear, nFromMonth, nCol );
oTime.set( Calendar.DST_OFFSET, 0 );
oTime.clear( Calendar.HOUR );
oTime.clear( Calendar.MINUTE );
oTime.clear( Calendar.SECOND );
oTime.clear( Calendar.MILLISECOND );
oTime.add( Calendar.MINUTE, nRow * 15 );
This code still calculates DST.
Is there a way to use the local timezone but disable the DST???
There must be.
I've try useing the SimpleTimeZone object and setting setDSTSavings(int millisSavedDuringDST) to 0
This only gave me an error.
If there is anyone who know the proper way to do this your help would be welcomed.
Thank you.

For a time zone that does not use daylight saving time, do not use this constructor; instead you should use SimpleTimeZone(rawOffset, ID).
This doesn't seem to work either.
It's still adjusting for DST

Delivery of reports with different local timezone convert from UTC time

I have a central database storing events with UTC time (current location is Europe). I have a request to send historical reports (e.g Aug 2013 report) to US, Asia and I required to convert the UTC time to US and Asia when generating reports. I am thinking
the best way of design the dimension table, shall I have a history timezone table to match the utc time id with US and Asian timezone in order to do the historical report time conversion , considering the daylight saving condition as well. Any suggestions
are welcome. Thanks.

What version of SQL Server you are using? How do you generate reports? If it is SQL Server 2012 take a look at
--Retrieve the current time as a datetimeoffset (comparable to the venerable GETDATE function):
SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()
---Retrieve the server’s current time zone offset (the number of minutes before or after UTC):
SELECT DATENAME (TZoffset, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET())
---Convert from datetime to datetimeoffset (note that this uses the server’s current time zone offset, which could be inappropriate for historical dates):
SELECT TODATETIMEOFFSET (datetimevalue, DATENAME (TZoffset, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()))
---Convert a datetimeoffset value (in this case, local server time returned by SYSDATETIMEOFFSET) to a new time zone offset:
SELECT SWITCHOFFSET (SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(), '-05:00')

WMII the wiki is wrong, local wmiir is ignored

Hi, some how I'm trying to config WMII. It's impossible. I've changed the terminal and the super key to the windows key. That's it, but this is done in the /etc/wmii-3.5 and I had to do it in both wmii and rc.wmii for it to work. This is so messy and not exactly intuitive. Thinking about the suckless.org philosophy I can't see were this confusing handling of files comes into play.
Anybody knows how I can get to config wmii trough wmiir in my home directory? (No, don't refer me to wiki. They just cp the wmiir to the local .wmii-3.5 directory. And that does not work)

do you have plan9port installed? if so, it's going to be looking for rc.wmii and not wmiirc, that means, if you have plan9port installed, and then wmiir in your local directory, it will get ignored and /etc/wmii-3.5/rc.wmii will get executed.
the other thing is that are you sure your modifcations are correct etc?
are you using the -hg version? that uses .wmii-hg directory...

Default-locale setting is ignored!

Participant.create ignores timezone and locale

Hi,
I create participants in an automatic activity by using:
Java.Util.Locale locale=new Java.Util.Locale("en");
Java.Util.TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(arg1 : "Europe/Zurich");
humanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.create(...);
humanParticipant.changeLocale(locale : locale);
humanParticipant.changeTimezone(timezone : timeZone);
After the creation in the database everything seems to be correct, but if the user logs in for the first time, the language of the workspace is German and if the user goes to the setting the timezone is something in Africa ... If the user then corrects the entries in the settings dialog and saves it, everything works perfect. The user gets the workspace in englisch and the timezone is correct (also after a logout and login). But in the database it seems to me nothing has changed.
Does anyone knows, why the locale and timezone is ignored in this case?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
Oracle Support might disagree, but I think it's a bug. Telling you what you already know, but it will always give new Participants the default timezone and language even if you run the changeTimezone( ) and changeLocale( ) methods in logic like this:
locale as Java.Util.Locale
locale = Java.Util.Locale(arg1 : "fr", "")
timeZone as Java.Util.TimeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(arg1 : "PST");
timeZone.id = "PST"
humanParticipant.changeLocale(locale : locale);
changeTimezone humanParticipant
using timezone = timeZone
update humanParticipant
humanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : directorySession, id : name)As shown here, I'm trying to update the participant's timezone and locale using logic. If you happened to check the Directory Service Database, you'd see that the row for the participant was inserted correctly with the right values in the FUEGO_PARTICIPANT table's FUEGO_LOCALE and FUEGO_TIMEZONE ("fr" and "PST") respectively.
As you already discovered, Oracle BPM ignores this and forces these values back to the Engine's default timezone and language when the participant logs in for the first time. Guessing there is a flag set somewhere that indicates that the end user has never logged in.
Sorry,
Dan

How to get APS timezone? getCurrentTime is in local tz, not server

Using (IServerGeneralMetrics) iServer.getServerGeneralAdmin()).getCurrentTime() appears to adjust the server's time based on user's local timezone. I need the actual time on the server, or its timezone so I can adjust it back. How can this be done?

If I'm looking at the same API as you, the getCurrentTime() returns a java.util.Date time - it's not tied to a specific TimeZone, but is based on POSIX (Unix) time.
If you Stringify Date, it interprets using your local time zone, I think.
Sincerely,

Issues Syncing Google Calendar with Palm Pre 2 WebOs 2.0.1 - Timezones...

I am using Google Calendar to synch my company Outlook to my Palm Pre 2. I note that there are some prior posts on Timezone challenges and have followed the advice provided to no benefit.
All my events are synchronizing - however any recurring events not local to my timezone are not translating to my local timezone. So events scheduled by colleagues on the US West Coast are entered into my calendar at the time set ignoring the offset to my timezone (8 hours given that I'm in UK).
All events are properly reflected in Google Calendar it's the sync to my Pre which seems to corrupt (or more correctly not translate the time). Interestingly single events created by US colleagues are translated correctly.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this??
