Locale, Time Zone

Hi,
Now that we can customize Time Format and Time Zone, it makes sense that we cannot see anymore the US Central Time, also known as "Discussions time".
It is a nice feature, thanks, and I was happy also, a week ago or so, when I saw that it finally got fixed and worked everywhere the same way.
However, since a few days, it has come back to its first inconsistent behaviour:
My settings are English (UK) and (GMT +00), so I see
- on the Home page: Announcements > Reputations & Recent Posts > 07-Dec-2005 02:56
- in the Forums: Last Post > 10-Dec-2005 19:11 by: Phillip Jones
- in Phillip's last Post: From: Martinsville, Va; Registered: 24-Mar-2005
- in My Posts,
etc, everywhere I go, I see the right format and the right time,
EXCEPT
- inside a Reply: "Replying To Phillip": From: Martinsville, Va; Registered: 3/25/05
and
- in my own user profile I am Registered: 4/14/04 instead of 14/4/04.
THIS
was corrected a few days ago: I was Registered: 14/04/04, and I remember this because I noticed the "04" instead of "4" for April.
Nothing crucial
(I would be very happy as well with no choice but the Texas time, although Cupertino time makes more sense IMO),
just notifying it in case you need this info to go on enhancing the new software.
Thanks again for the great work!

Also:
Is your (correct? incorrect?) registration date the 24th or the 25th?
Sorry Phillip I didn't write CET in my example not to confuse with time zones
Phillip,
You old 2000 account is probably somewhere. I would try to find it back and get the password error corrected...

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

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..

When I create a new event in my calendar in my local time zone, my invitees receive it in GMT. Why how can this be fixed?

When I create a new event in my calendar in my local time zone, my invitees receive it in GMT. Why how can this be fixed?

Greetings jsubacus,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your calendar events are appearing in GMT on your calendar in Yosemite. This was a fix in iOS 8.2 for iCloud calendars. I would suggest that you make sure all of your devices are updated to the current software release to help resolve the issue.

Get date from Oracle when local time zone is different from Oracle time zon

Hi!
Local machine time zone= +2
Oracle time zone= +1
I set date to Oracle using java.sql.Date.
From application I save date at 00:30 clock and send e.g. 28.06.2002, but in Oracle date is save as 27.06.2002 01:00 (hour=01 , I suppose that is because java.sql.Date hasn't time the Oracle set it time = time zone=+1) And when I get date from Oracle I get incorrect date. In SQL I don't use date masks. Maybe solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when save date to Oracle) instead of java.sql.Date?
But if I save date at e.g. 01:00 clock and send e.g. 28:06.2002 in Oracle, date is save as 28.06.2002 01:00 and when I read from Oracle I get correct date.
Thank you.

ICal events are displayed in the local time zone, not at the time they are supposed to be

When I enter events in iCal (or in my iPhone calendar), they always display at the time for the zone that I am currently in, even when they occur in a different time zone. For example, if I have a lunch scheduled at 12 pm Monday in Vancouver, I want to see that I have something scheduled at 12 pm on Monday, even if I am in Hong Kong. But even if I have time zone support enabled, the event appears at 4 am Tuesday. This makes it hard to look at the calendar and know what events I have scheduled for what times when I am doing a lot of travel. Is there anyway that I can get the event to show up at 12 pm on Monday no matter where I am in the world?
Thanks

This means you're still using Flex 1.5 as your runtime. SAP has introduced Flex 2 RT on SP14 patch 1 onwards. There were a lot of bug fixes and also several new functionality introduced there. I suggest you consider upgrading to the latest SP. Note that you can upgrade VC apart from the portal (only 3 SCAs to deploy) so this means you don't impact the portal itself and continue to have an up-to-date version of VC.
If you want to solve your problem, I suggest you open a support ticket at SAP and once they see this, they'll let you have those SCAs.

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!!

Mail message viewer-can I change time zone for "time received" & "time sent" to my local time?

Does anyone know how to change the time zone MAIL uses to one's local time zone? I'm talking about Apple's Mail Program that's "on my mac." It shows all my "times sent" and "times received" in eastern time. Not a big deal, but since I'm on the west coast, I'd prefer pacific time. The menu bar at the very top of the screen shows local time, but Mail doesn't reflect that. I have a desktop iMac, Lion 10.7.3. Any help will be much appreciated!

I had the same situation on my current business trip. Home = SF (Pacific time), current location = Houston (Central time, 2 hours later). For a message I just sent (and received a copy of) at 6:34 AM local (Houston) time, Mail (v6.6, in Mountain Lion 10.8.5) was displaying Date Received as 4:34 AM. I can tell 'ya, it's *not* 4:34 AM where I'm sitting
My practice on any trip to a different time zone is just what Carlo TD described -- use SysPrefs/DateTime to change the TZ to local geographic (and also change Calendar's TZ at upper right in its window, but that's not related to the Mail issue). But when I did so, Mail didn't repaint its Date Received column. On a hunch, I quit and re-started Mail. Problem solved -- all the Date Received values changed to local (Houston) time!
Now to send Apple a Feedback that Mail doesn't repaint its displayed times when SysPrefs/DateTime changes the TZ...
[Interestingly, when I just posted this reply, the message in the thread shows something like "4:54 AM". Perhaps Apple displays all Support threads in Cupertino (Pacific) time...]

How can I display local time in Melbourne, Australia? I am using FF4 with Windows XP

I just installed FF 4. In the prior FF version I had a display of the local time in Melbourne, Australia on the lower left side of the screen. After installing FF 4, I no longer have this display. How can I get it back?

Hello Richard,
Joel has created a nice [url http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2010/09/automatic-time-zone-support-in.html]blogpost for describing a new feature in APEX 4.0, which does exactly what you want.
If you don't have APEX 4.0 or can't move to "TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE", you could try to build that yourself. There's a [url http://www.onlineaspect.com/2007/06/08/auto-detect-a-time-zone-with-javascript]nice example on how to determine the clients timezone in Javascript, which you could use to populate a hidden item on your login page, which you could store in an application item afterwards.

How do I set and use a custom time zone?

We're developing a mixed HTML, javascript and Flex application.
In our HTML/Flex application, one of user's settings is the time zone he wishes to use. Since this can be different from the local time zone of the computer he happens to be using, we need to tell flex to interpret all dates as being in a foreign time zone e.g. force it to America/Los_Angeles.
I'm hoping there is a way to specify this in flex, so we don't have to do offset calculations on every single Date object. This would be very complicated, as I'm sure you know (and no, it is not simply UTC + x, where x is a constant, or x is an integer number of hours...)
Is there a way to do this in flex?
Peter
P.S: I've found these related things so far:
asTimeZone: The svn repository is 404, and there seems to be no activity, but looks interesting...
A reference to the system class, but I couldn't find anything interested in the system class.
A comment that player 10 should have something useful, but I didn't find any thing about it elsewhere.
But nothing was really helpful...

Oh, perhaps this isn't possible, according to Timezone Issues with remote (Date/Time) data and flash
But if you have knowledge of a way to do it, please let us know here.

Calendar app stuck on another time zone.

I left Nigeria for Kansas, U.S. that's 6 hours behind so I changed the time settings on my phone to KS time zone but the Calendar app on my 3GS doesn't seem to understand that. When I create an event for, say, 8 PM today (to be notified at that time), I get a notification at 2 PM today—6 hours before the intended time. It's like Calendar thinks I'm still in Nigeria. I've been all over Settings and I can't figure it out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

How to set a specific time zone for time channel in DIADEM

Hi,
I'd like to know how to autmatically set a specific time zone for time channels in DIADEM.
For example, I have stored data with corresponding time channel in UTC time on a disk which was collected in another time zone. Now I want to analyze this data and I want the time channel to show the local time in the time zone where the data was collected, and not the time in the local time zone where the computer is located.
The time channel should also take site local summer/winter time into account. Now I'm running a script that handles it for me which adds or subtract hours according to my input. The problem is that I'm handling data from several different time zones and I'm not located in any of them and when you're running a lot of data over a greater time period, it's easy to make mistakes, especially when it comes to summer/winter time. Is there a any clever solution to this already implemented in Diadem that I have not found?

Hi hj77,
No, I'm sorry, DIAdem has no time zone functionality at all. I'm afraid you have no choice in DIAdem but to keep running your scripts. Summer and Winter time are truly tricky, because the rules for when the changes occur are different in different countries and states within countries and also can change from year to year within the SAME country (as they did in the US a few years ago).

Time stamp and local time stamp

Dear sirs...
i am a little confused about the time stamp datatype and how to handle it in my applications. i want to display the time for every user in its time zone. so the fields in the database are timestamp with local time zone. is this correct?
i want it to be such that if one stores the time in USA time , the other can display that same data in UK time.
best regards

Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
Thanks for any suggestions....

Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.

Time zone doesn't work on WRP400 VoIP router firmware 2.00.32

I purchased a WRP400 wi-fi router (two SIP VoIP ATA ports) and loaded the latest firmware (2.00.32). This code is bugware. Not only do the configuration screens not work properly in FIrefox (it keeps giving "your connection has been reset by the peer server") but the time zone is Pacific Daylight (GMT-8, DST+1, California) even after I set the proper values (Eastern, GMT-5, DST+1) for my region and restart the router.
I've tried switching to a different manually-specified NTP server, I've tried other time zone selections but consistently I get anything except Montréal/Toronto/New York time or the time zone I'd asked for. Even Newfoundland time gives (gag me with a spoon!) California.
Unfortunately, this is a voice-over-IP box so this wrong time information is fed to every telephone in my office as part of the Caller ID data every time a call comes in. I see no means to turn NTP off and specify a date and time manually.
Short of putting up a "fake" (three hours ahead) NTP server somewhere on the local network and forcing this box to synchronise to that, is there any way to get the WRP400 to send the correct time to the telephone handsets if I'm not in California but three time zones further east?

Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting
http://192.168.15.1/index.asp (at the bottom of the 'Basic' tab's page)
Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous
http://192.168.15.1/admin/voice/ (at the bottom of the 'Regional' tab's page)
If I set them both to local time the system is displaying GMT (so four hours ahead, as local time is EDT).
If I leave the voice settings at Cisco's California defaults and change just the "Basic Setup - Time Setting" to any local time zone in my region the system displays California time.
So far, the only time I've seen correct and local data displayed is by setting:
Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting to "GMT - Liberia - no DST"
Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous to my local time zone (GMT-5 - Eastern - Toronto/Montréal)
Setting both configuration values (router basic setup and voice regional) to a valid, local time zone outside California seems to be applying two offsets to the call display timestamp in some invalid manner. This is a bug.
Time to pack up this equipment and ship it to Liberia?
