NEW_TIME : Central European Time to GMT

I execute this request
SELECT NEW_TIME(sysdate, 'CET', 'GMT') "Central European Time to GMT" FROM DUAL
=>
and i have this error:
Oracle error: ORA-01857: ce n'est pas une plage horaire valide (sev 1, MsgNo 1857).
So, help please

Hi
Check out the Oracle note 102529.1 on new_time
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:9028019237347794912::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,102529.1,1,1,1,helvetica
which basically says that new_time supports only a limited set of time zones (USA only + GMT.) CET is not one of them and
<quote>
you will need to manipulate the current time via a sysdate function
SQL> select NEW_TIME(sysdate+1/24,'HDT','GMT') from dual@dblnk2
Results in 1:00 PM which corresponds to the time in Paris.

HDT = Hawaiian Daylight saving time (which I hope corresponds to Paris go forward and go backs!)
Hope this helps

Portugal is inaccurately listed as being in the Central European timezone

After upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6, I noticed in iCal (with time zone support enabled) that Portugal is listed as being in the Central European time zone. That's not accurate: Portugal is in the Western European time zone.

Hi,
You are correct that your Unlimited Europe subscription is still active. However, I checked your call history and found out that you called mobile numbers. Your subscription covers calls to Europe landline numbers only. If you will call phone numbers which are not covered by your subscription such as mobile numbers, it will be charged against your credit balance.
You can review your call history here: https://secure.skype.com/store/myaccount/history.html
I would suggest that you purchase another subscription which will cover calls to United Kingdom and Netherlands mobile numbers. You can purchase a new subscription here: http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ Type United Kingdom or Netherlands under "Which country do you want to call?"
Hope this helps.

Convert local time to GMT

Hi everybody,
i receive a lot of operation date from many worldwide ports like these:
SINGAPORE 23/FEB/2011 13:50 (local time)
GHENT(NL) 23/FEB/2011 12:00 (local time)
i'm required to convert these information to GMT date.
I've found NEW_TIME function but it seems inadequate:
1) the function does not consider daylight saving periods; i mean when tmz1 switches from daylight savings on to daylight savings off and tmz2 does not, the function does not change the time difference (at least it's the result of my test unless all valid timezones switch at the same time)
2) valid parameters are 18 therefore they don't cover all the possible combinations
Could you please help to cope the matter ?
Many thanks in advance
Stefano

David,
there is a date function caled NEW_TIME that should work. For ex:
select to_char(new_time (sysdate, 'EST','GMT'), 'HH:MI:SS')

Outlook Client recurring appointments time zone / GMT offset problem

I will try to describe this with text, although it's a very visual problem. I added a post to my blog with
it so I could include pictures. If you think you need pictures to understand the text below, please review that entry.  Please note, the one appointment instance cited below, is an example, there are many others with this same problem,
and it only happens with recurring appointments.
Relevant System Information:
Windows 7 Utlimate
Office 2010 Professional Plus (14.0.6023.1000 64-bit)
Exchange services hosted by Microsoft.
Android HTC Inspire 4G also configured as exchange active sync client.
Issue Description:
I have a specifications meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday mornings (every 2 weeks) at 8:30 am. In the body of the appointment, it even has this text spelled out. "When: Occurs every 2 weeks on Tuesday effective 11/23/2010 from 8:30
AM to 11:30 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)." as an indicator of the actual appointment time. The problem is that one day, several weeks after this appointment had been sent to me, Outlook 2010 decided that it was really at 1:30 PM.
Since that time it's been showing incorrectly on my calendar at 1:30 PM.   So, I recognized almost immediately that this was a 5 hour difference, which happens to also be my timezone offset (except that I'm currently in daylight savings time -- so
it's really a -4 offset right now).
I ran the 2010 service pack 1 installer, based on the suggestion of my IT group, and found I already had the service pack installed. I've tried the timezone tool as well and that didn't work. Please keep reading.
Next I went to my exchange host with outlook web access.   The appointment is closer to correct there, showing at 9:30am. It think here it almost seems as though it's applying the DST, but not correctly, maybe doubling it?.
Meanwhile, back in outlook, if I go to the scheduling assistant and look at my time while making an appointment with other invitees it - much to my surprise - matches the time in OWA, not the time in outlook client.
Finally, if I go to my Android and look at the appointment, it is correct. 8:30 AM.
So to summarize:
Real Appoinment:   8:30 AM
Outlook Client Time: 1:30 PM
OWA / Exchange Time: 9:30 AM
Android Calendar Time: 8:30 AM
This applies to many others, this is just a convenient example.
This applies only to recurring appointments.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Status Update, and recommended next steps:
I opened a ticket with HTC support the day before yesterday (Ticket # 03543601). The initial response was an email reply with the typical level one suggestion to remove and re-add the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone, and if that didn't resolve the
issue to do a hard reset and then add the account again. Since I have multiple users experiencing this same issue, where the common denominator seems to be centralized around the move from Outlook 2007 to 2010 and the HTC Gingerbread OS, I convinced them that
this would not be an acceptable remedy, and my case was immediately escalated without hesitation. I will say that though I don't have a resolution, I'll applaud HTC for not giving me the runaround and giving me a live person who could talk intelligently about
the issue.
Today, I received a phone call back on this ticket from someone in the escalations department at HTC named Travis. After explaining the issue in detail to him and referencing
this specific thread, he acknowledged that it did in fact sound like a coding issue coming from the device where the value in the “dispidApptTZDefStartDisplay” property was being set improperly by the device/stock email/calendar application in their implementation
of ActiveSync. He then stated that he would relay this to the developers to look into the issue. He further elaborated that the case would either be in a status of, "this is being looked into", or "We believe this to be resolved in [x] update". He said that
they will probably continue releasing updates for the Incredible (I did not specifically ask about the Incredible 2), and while the Incredible 2 is definitely slated to get Ice Cream Sandwich, the Incredible one is still in a classification of, "being evaluated".
Personally, I doubt that the Inc 1 will get ICS, but it is possible. From what I have read, the general stance is that phones will be updated for 18 months after release, and the Inc 1 is 24 months old this month (bummer - I REALLY like this phone).
According to Verizon and HTC, these are the phones that will get ICS (or Android 4.0):
Ice Cream Sandwich Coming to Many Verizon Wireless Smartphones
Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich Updates
While it is possible that an update will be released for the Incredible 1 to fix this issue, it will likely be months before one is available, so we'll probably have to move to Touchdown for Exchange by NitroDesk in order to resolve this issue....or move to
a newer phone with ICS 4.0.
Speaking of which, there is a whole laundry list of issues with Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices. A number of them are listed in this Microsoft KB article:
Current issues with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices
Per the article:
Microsoft's recommendation for Android - Upgrade to Android OS 4.0
Microsoft's recommendation for iPhone/iOS devices - Upgrade to iOS version 5
So, for anyone on Android experiencing this issue (or others listed in the Microsoft KB above), if your phone is likely to get ICS soon, then you may want to hold on and just be vigilant about checking your calendar on OWA. If your phone isn't slated to get
ICS or if you can't wait, my recommendation is to get Touchdown for $20. You may still have to delete and re-create appointments that are wrong, but hopefully the issue won't happen any more once you move to Touchdown. And if they do, at least you've got a
shot at a more rapid fix with a company like NitroDesk. (no offense HTC).
Good luck. I probably won't post again unless I get notice of a fix for this specific issue or some other significantly useful information.

A few weeks ago my Mac changed back to European time. Can anyone help? Please!

First I have to explain that I moved from Europe; I'm back stateside and a couple of weeks ago my Mac decided to change back to European time (6 hours ahead specifically). I have it set to change automatically and I never had an issue when I was in Europe with this changing. Even when I first powered it up here everything was fine until a few weeks ago. Also if I turn off the set automatically feature and set it manual my time zone is off by 1 hour. I am in Georgia and selecting it manually still shows 1 hour behind. It does not make sense, especially when it was working fine before. Please help!

Hi, check System Preferences>Date & Time?Time Zone tab.

How do get current date/time in GMT?

Is there any way to get the current date and time in GMT (while my current locale is not GMT)?
In Java I can do this:
long currenttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
java.text.SimpleDateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss z");
df.setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
date.setTime(currenttime);But, there seems to be no way to do the equivalent in BPEL in SOA Suite.
I did some research and I think I could appy the XPath 2.0 function adjust-dateTime-to-timezone() to the current time, but that function is not available.
Using SOA SUite 11.1.13.0.
THanks.

have you tried changing the stylesheet version in the xsl to 2.0 and then try the function again ?
by changing this version it was possible to use newer functions, which weren't available in the designer

Central European Languages in id3-t

Is there any way how to display Central European Languages (Slovak, Czech, Polish, Hungarian) in id3-tags in Creative MuVu TX player correctly? As I see... [Creative MediaSource Organizer -> Settings -> Language] this is only possible for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian language.
Note: I have already installed the latest version of Creative MediaSource Organizer (2.03.29).
Thanx

I am using a Apple Mac, but the solution should be similar to Windows.What makes you think that?

Function Module To Change TIME from GMT to CST

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me if there is any Function Module to convert the TIME from GMT to CST?
Regards

Hi Sunil,
use the following code.
DATA :
timestamp like TZONREF-TSTAMPS,
time      like sy-uzeit,
date      like sy-datum.
The following function module is used to convert the
time and date into GMT timestamp
CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
    i_datlo           = sy-datum
    i_timlo           = sy-uzeit
    I_TZONE           = 'INDIA'
IMPORTING
   E_TIMESTAMP       = timestamp.
The following function module is used to convert the
above obtained timestamp to PST timezone date and time.
CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
    i_timestamp       = timestamp
    I_TZONE           = 'CST'
IMPORTING
    E_DATLO           = date
    E_TIMLO           = time.
write :/ 'Date and Time at PST zone is ',date, time.
Reward if helpful.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Convert Local Date and Time into GMT

In Oracle how to convert date & time in GMT. Suppose the input will be local date & time e.g. ‘IN’, ‘15/11/2010 15:20:30’ ( country Code, DD/MM/YYYY Hr:Min:Sec in 24hr format) output should be in GMT format.

I don't think this should be in the OLAP subforum. At least try to look for the correct section before posting next time.
Apart from that, you can try a combination of the From_Tz and Tz_Offset functions.

Message time still GMT in Mail list for CenturyTel users

(The two previous strands of this question from 2007 have been archived. I'm still running Tiger.) In the MacMail list of incoming messages, every message from CenturyTel, even from my husband across the room, is listed with the time as GMT , not the PDT everything else shows. So, of course, it fouls up the order of receipt of messages. While I'd like to blame CenturyTel, and have asked a tech. about it and got nowhere, the time is translated correctly if I receive messages using Thunderbird. So I think it is an error in MacMail. Long headers look fine. Any ideas? I may just move on to Leopard in hopes it is not plagued by this irritating snag. Thanks for your comments.

After updating my iMac to OS 10.5.6 the problem disappeared. 'Just a bug I've left behind in 10.4.11. So I'll call it solved.

Hi
I want to display current time in GMT format.
Can anyone tell me the query to display current time in GMT format.

Then, like i said, you'd want to use SYS_EXTRACT_UTC

SYSTIMESTAMP

SPUM Font Setting : Cyrillic,Central European ???

Hello ,
We have already running various scan using SPUM Tool.
We are using various Codepage Language in system , What is the font script needs to be set Cyrillic,Central European in my Gui?
We are using both Cyrillic,Central European in our system and it causing the confusion for the analyzing the words and Language.
Regatds,
RP

Hi Rohan,
please have a look at the Unicode Conversion Guide:
2.3.4.5 Manually Assign Language
"Especially for Asian Languages, it is essential that users log on with the correct language "
Therefore if the users have followed the mandatory MDMP rules (logon with the correct language when maintaining local data - see also SAP note 73606 with attachment), then it should be possible to identify the words in SPUMG or SPUM4 with the correct logon language as well. The according font will be set automatically in this case.

Internationalization issue : convert date/time to GMT/UTC

We have our webservices running in websphere /oracle.There is this requirement to internationalize the application ...like
a) language .....
d)Internatiolization of time :
For this requirment I am planning to do the following.Service request with date will be converted to GMT before it is stored in database and the response back will be converted from GMT back to the time zone of the requester and have the application server/database server configured to UTC time.Is this a good strategy or is there a better one.

Are you starting with a java.util.Date or perhaps a java.sql.Timestamp?
Then you do NOT convert them. You display them. You use SimpleDateFormat for that. You do not concern yourself at all with timezones exception in terms of creating a SimpleDateFormat. And that is ONLY an issue if you are creating the string (display value) on a server. If you are doing that you will need the client to provide you with a timezone. There is no magic way to get that from the client. If a client app is doing the display the the client is running in a client VM and that VM will already have a display format that might be suitable.
Conversely if you are receiving a timestamp value as a text value (say read it from a file) then you must convert that into a java.util.Date. You do that via SimpleDateFormat. The specifics of how you do that depends on the form of the text value.
