Open MM Period with different time zone via job

Hi All,
I'm getting a bit confused with posting date and times and time zones.
I read note 968050 and it states that all the posting date are stored in the MKPF with the server date for consistencies reason.
My problem is that my company has two company code one in Europe (sever time as well) and one in US. I would like to schedule a job to open the MM period (MMPV) every first of the month at 12:00 US time. (let say EU time)
two questions:
- Should i schedule it at 6 Server time?
- will I be able to make postings in the last day of the month in the evening when in Europe (and on the server) it's already a new month? In other words can i make an entry in MKPF with posting date new month but still in the old period???

Timing: You need to be sure that the period has been moved on Day 1, before an office starts work.
We have companies in Australia, Europe and United States. We run three separate jobs for each of these areas (ver5.0).
If you were to move the period on Oct 30, the result on the 31st would be:
1- Material could no longer be moved in September (usually not a problem because FI stopped postings to Sept earlier in the period)
2 - Material could be moved with posting dates of November, (if FI has opened the FI Accounting periods.)
Material movements made October 31st are just like movementes made on Oct 30.

How to report with different time zone dynamically based on user's account?

Hello
I am wondering is there a way to change the report's date & time data based on user's locale setting in OBIEE?
Let's say the user log in to OBIEE with eastern time zone setting. The data that's in the database is storing a transaction of $400 at 1am Pacific time.
So when this user run a query which does something like 'select date, transaction, amount from date, transaction, sales where this = that', it should display the $400 amount done at 4am eastern time instead of 1am pst.
What I have done is to have data stores in date dimension to be UTC time, and I have also changed the data type of the date column to be 'local time zone'. DB is Oracle DB 11G now.
Now this query works perfectly well in the DB as long as I run the following commend first:
Alter session set time zone = 'whatever my time zone'
and then
Select date, transaction from tables..
The date displayed will automatically be converted into different time zone..
Since everything is working nicely from Oracle DB level, I need to know how to make it work when OBIEE sends the same query down to the DB..
I know that, probably I will have to enter the above alter session commend in the connection pool, however, I can't hardcode the time zone value.
I also don't want to store user's time zone in the user table because these users travels a lot. So even if his table setting is EST, but at a given day he can be traveling to pst time zone and view reports.
Is there a way to dynamically set the time zone based on user's account locale setting?
Let me know if you guys have implemented something similar or not
Thanks

Hello Sarvan
I have already done that part at the DB level and it is working perfectly with alter session commend before the query.
My question is, how do I configure OBIEE so that before each user runs a report from BI, the alter session commend will be fired with each user's personal locale time zone setting passed through so that each user will be able to view data according to their different time zone?did you tried with Connection scripts(Execute On connect) in Connection pool.write ur Alter commend to Change Time Zone in this script box.

Creating appointments in a different time zone with accuracy

I have my computer setup to set the date and time automatically. I also have iCal set to my current time zone. How do you create appointments for times in a different time zone with accuracy while you are in your current time zone?
For example, when I prepare for a business trip, I set my agenda in iCal while I'm at home. All of these appointments show up in my current time zone. When I get to my destination the times for my appointments are incorrect. I live in New York, but have a meeting in LA. The meeting is at 8:00 am PST. When I'm home, I set the appointment for 8:00 am, but by default, it is EST. When I get to LA, even if u change the time zone settings, the appointment shows up as 5:00 am PST. Do I need to set the appointment for 5:00 am while I'm at home in New York to take into account the time difference? Seems confusing and difficult to manage on a continual basis.
Any suggestions?
Mac

To elaborate further - what the current iOS manual says about times zones is:
_*When Time Zone Support is on, Calendar displays event dates and times in the time zone of the city you selected. When Time Zone Support is off, Calendar displays events in the time zone of your current location as determined by the network time.*_
Does that mean with time zone support off that when you move from one time zone to another and your phone readjusts its time setting that the appointment times are changed also or does it mean that the assumption is made that the event time is to be left as is. I believe it is the latter, but the description makes it sound to me like the opposite.
I do know that if one has time zone support enabled and you are in FL with an appointment with a California time zone enabled the time shown for the event will be 3 hours later. The description seems to say the opposite, but that was my experience in the past. In addition if time zone support is enabled and you change time zones, the time shown for the appointment will be changed.
For me at least a much clearer descrpition of what time zone support does is needed.
+*We need a checkbox that says adjust appointment time to correspond with time zone you are in in comparison to zone of event, and a checkbox that says:absolutely don't change the times I enter for events.*+

Different time zones in the same calendar subscription

Dear kind helpers,
To state my problem as clear as possible, I need to be a bit long. Sorry for that.
I registered to a calendar displaying the rugby schedule for the VI nations tournament:
-> http://www.rbs6nations.com/tools/calendars/sixnations-fixtures-6n-all.ics
from the official web site:
-> http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/matchcentre/downloadable_fixture_list.php
The only thing you need to know about this tournament is that it involves 6 teams (hence the name):
- 2 on the continent, then at GMT+1 (France and Italy),
- 4 on the British Isles (Englands, Walles, Scotland and Ireland), then at GMT+0
I think all of these nations have the same summer / winter shifts.
I'm on the continent, Central European Time for the time zone support feature on iCal (OS 10.9.1).
I guess it's GMT+1 plus winter shift at the moment.
I notice the same following problem on my iPod (iOs 5.1.1), sync through iCloud
Here the problem : it seems all the games are in local times !
For instance, a game in the Islands (Scotland, England, ...) appears at 5pm whereas I would like it to appear at 6pm (so the time is correctly displayed for British Isles, not for the continent) / a game on the continent (France or Italy) will appear at 5pm and I'm fine because it's right the correct time in my time zone. I've no idea how a game which takes place on the continent appears in the British Isles :-(
So a few questions :
- am I clear about the problem ?
- is it a problem from iCal or from the subscription itself ?
- in case it's iCal, is there a way to fix the trouble ?
PS : I experienced the same problem with an other subscription a few years ago ; it was also for a european championship schedule across different time zones displayed in the same calendar. This one was discontinued.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is an issue with the subscription itself. The times for the events are set in 'floating' time and whatever time zone you use it iCal will show the event as being at that time local time (which obviously won't be right unless you are in the correct time zone).
I could post a more technical explanation if you like.
Best wishes

Can the central system and the sender system at different time zone?

We have a control(i.e. central) system which is 6 hours ahead of the sender system.
When processing step "analyse tables in sender system", we get short dumps immediately at control , sender and receiver.
On the sender, the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR
Date and Time          01/15/2011 16:09:05
Short text
     " " (I/Oerror)
What happened?
     "CPIC-CALL: 'ThCMSEND' : cmRc=18 thRc=0#Statistics not active "
An error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.
On the central system the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR
Date and Time          15.01.2011 22:09:00
Short text
     "Field symbol has not yet been assigned."
On the receiver the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED
Date and Time          01/15/2011 22:09:00
Short text
     Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLCNVTDMS_BW_FUNCTIONS_REM" had to be terminated .
We never get this error before on this step. The only thing I can think of is that the sender and the central system
are at different time zone.
Please share your experience.
Thanks!

Hi,
By looking at the runtime error , the reason of the dump should not be the timestamp diff .
You can create an OSS ticket with SAP for further analysis.
Also, there can be data consistency issues due to time diff .

Duplicate entries in two different time zones

Somehow iCal imported files (or converted files) into two different time zones--the zone I'm in this year (Asia) and the original zone of the event (US east coast). So I might have an event correctly scheduled at 2pm, April 5, 2001 and a duplicate "false" event scheduled at 1am, April 6, 2001. I now have thousands of such entries, too many to delete manually. It's too late, now that I've made many updates before discovering the problem (all of the duplicate events took place before I moved to Asia), to start over.
I've turned off "time zone support" since I suspect it was the source of the problem in the first place (I regret ever turning it on).
I've been able to delete 1500 duplicate "all day" events using a script from John M, but timed events are not identical and therefore can't be uncovered with his script.
Is there any solution to this problem?

I never found a solution to this problem

How to create an event in two different time zones?

Hello,
I am traveling a lot and I would like to be able to enter the flight details in iCal - whether on my iPhone, iCloud, i... whatever. The problem is that I cannot manage to enter these details without calculating the time difference. Example:
I am flying on Saturday from Frankfurt to Japan. My flight takes off at 19:00h local German time and arrives in Tokyo at 13:00h local time (in Japan)
I can either specify the time zone for Germany or for Tokyo, but is there a way to enter the event from 19:00h German time to 13:00h Tokyo time?
Thank you very much for your time.
Larry

Hi Alex,
this applies only when the event takes place in one time zone, but in my case I start the event on one time zone and ends in a different time zone. As it is known, the airlines show always the local times on the ticket. Which means that I start my travel at 19:00h German time (UTC +2) and end it at 13:00h Tokyo time (UTC +9). When I create the event I can choose From Date/Time... To Date/Time and below I have Time zone. Ideally I should have two time zones, one for the start and another for the end.
Since this situation only applies to travelling (I can't think of another case right now), I believe that Apple didn't take this into consideration.
Any other thoughts/ideas? Other than manually calculating the difference, of course.

How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones

How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones?
Suppose IT landscape has a global BW in New York, and source systems in americas, europe and asia, then how the time-zones effect on time related things like delta selections on date or timestamp etc.

As you said BW is global in NY, your source system must be global too. People from various locations can connect to same source system and thus timestamps for delta is always maintained as 1 single time. We have same scenario in our project. Our R/3 system is used by users in US and Europe. So we run deltas twice in day to make sure we got deltas from both locations.
If scenarios was such that all locations connect to separate R/3 system, then obviously you have multiple queues. That is unique delta queue for each source system so deltas will be pulled as per data in respective queues.

Problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk

All Belarus users of Mac and iPhone/iPad have a problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk. If you set time in AUTO, then time going down for 1 hour from actual time. That is happened after Belarus didn't went for winter time this year. In this case on all Mac's and iPhones and iPad's didn't work at all Face Time, iMessage, iChat. Apple still not reacting for this problem.

Same issue here... That is really annoying when such a good things like iCal sync just doesn't work.
Also, in case if you trying fix it somehow... here is a lot of issues related to this one. e.g. if the time zone settings were set in manual order; we're get an authorization issue with applications like Twitter...

How to set a meeting at a different time zone

I have read several letters of users. all try to "trick" the time zones or the meeting times.
This is something to be taken care by Apple.
I live in Israel. When I set a meeting in NYC, I do not want to think on time zones.
I set the meeting to 09:00 and expect to get buzzed at 09:00, in NYC. No matter the time zone I am in.
I want the time zone be updated automatically, as I use the clock of the iPhone for checking the time. I leave my hand watch with the Israeli time zone.
The change of the time in the iPhone, should NOT effect the calander.
I expect that the time zone will be changed automatically and the iPhone to show me the local time, e.g. NYC.
I expect my schedule to remain 09:00. It has nothing to do with the time zones.
Same on the way back to Israel.
I expect Apple to take care about this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Standby atabase in different time zone than Primary databse

I am curious to know, If my primary database is in NY and I am planning to have my DR in London.
Is this configuration possible by having primary and standby host box having different time(as their time zones) I am thinking issues about how oracle will cordinate shipment of archive logs which are in different time zones.
I know one way to configure it....
even If box is in London, Box will be having time of NY timezone on host..

I would expect, though, without having had a chance to test it, that you might run into problems using various time-based DataGuard configurations and settings. For example, if you configured your standby to wait X minutes before applying logs from the production server, I would tend to suspect that you'd have issues.
In the event of a failover, you might also have application-level issues related to "duplicate" dates. If your application runs continuously across daylight savings time switches, you're probably fine, but a lot of apps aren't doing anything in that one hour a year that the clocks fall back an hour and discover that they're not quite as bulletproof as they'd expect.
