Oracle Time Zone - SAP Note 1019133

Has anyone applied this patch or skipped the patch?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In 2007 the USAs daylight savings starts earlier and ends later, so Oracles table of time zone rules should be changed for America.
The SAP note 1019133 said we probably do not need a patch.
The Oracle Note 396671.1 said, apply it just in case.
SAP Note: 1019133
" In the standard SAP application the JVM and the mentioned datatypes (TSLTZ / TSTZ) are not used. Therefore it's not necessary to apply this patches."
Oracle Doc: 396671.1
"If there is no other use of time zone data than stored TSTZ data, and the utltzuv2.sql script shows that none of these use the affected time zones, then you could choose to not apply the new time zone files (even though in such a situation the application would also be very easy, so the advise would still be to do it "just in case")."

since the oracle notes had said it is the same patch for the DB and client, i just thought : in an SAP environment, how does a client connect.....
well, our SAP users use the SAP Login GUI thingy.... which gets them to the SAP instance of their choice, ..... and it's the SAP instance that is then actually the "client" for the oracle DB.....
so.... well, the SIDadm account must be indicative of how this client process works for SAP because SIDadm can start and stop the Oracle DB....
so i logged in as SIDadm and looked for the client that way.... i.e.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo directory that SIDadm sees and what's there....
in my case it put me in same dir as the DB files.... so must be getting it from same spot.
cuz this was something i just made up as i went along and i was very tired at the time, i also ran a find command from the root directory..... i am on Sun.... my find command was :
find . -name timezone.dat -print
granted there were a lot of directories i did not have perms to see, but it returned only 2 timezone files for me....
the one in the $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo directory
and one in /local..... (which is what we have for some secondary things, not SAP related)....
so try a big system level find command if on Sun, or something similar on your O/S..... if you have your SAP and your DB on the same server.... it's got to be on that server somewhere....
hope that helps.

SAP Time zone vs oracle time zone

Hello Experts,
I am confused by SAP's system time zone setting and oracle database's time zone setting.
Can I change SAP time zone setting without affecting the database time? Are they the same thing? Must I restart SAP / database / server after the TZ change at SAP-level to effect it? Is OS time zone = database time zone = SAP time zone?
Has this anything to do with database timestamp?
Pls advice.
Regards,
Ernesta
(I promise to award full points for best answer).

Hello ernesta,
As I know, SAP's time is a mathematic calculation on the server/database's time.
This calculation is called time zone. Using transaction STZBC you can change your country's settings (for example CET+2 and etc). After the changing you'll have to restart the SAP instance.
You can set time zone setting to specific users via transaction SU01.
Furthermore, I suggest you to read several notes, maybe they could help you in the future:
Note 184992 - Country/time zone assignment not correct
Note 129266 - One hour time deviation
Note 102088 - End of daylight saving time: the "double hour"
Note 081950 - Time zones: local date in dialog and in RFC

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.

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) Presumably you are using setTimestamp() to store the value. If you are explicitly using a varchar (string) then you will have to correct the timezone your self.
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?The method setDate/getDate store a 'date' which is not the same as a 'date and time' for which setTimestamp/getTimestamp are used.
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.

How to display system time zone if user time zone is not set?

Hi,
My application implicitely chooses ALA as time zone if the user time zone is not set.
How do I check this?

Hi,
Try using these FM's
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
Z_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
You can set the timezone in sy-zonlo by using the 1st FM and setting sy-zonlo in your application.
I think system takes ALA default because its the 1st timezone in the table.(check FM BWDT_LIST_TIMEZONES)

Amit

SRM - Warning Msg "Time zone CST not valid in country US"

Dear SRM Experts,
I'm working on an issue where when the user try to edit the PO, system return the WARNING as below:
Time zone CST not valid in country US (several possibilities)
When I drill into this warning message, here is the content:
Diagnosis
1. If the time zone entered is not maintained as the default setting for the country.
2. If the time zone entered for the country and region is not maintained as the default setting for this combination of country and region.
3. If the time zone entered for the country and postal code is not maintained as the default setting for this combination of country and postal code.
System Response
The warning AM 482 is displayed under the circumstances detailed above.
Procedure
Delete the entry in the field "time zone". The default time zone for the combinationof country, region and postal code will then be used, provided it has been maintained in the IMG ("Maintain time zones") .
Procedure for System Administration
My PO is meant for US Arizona. Base on IMG configuration, CST time zone has already configured for US country code.
Your advice will be very much appreciated, thank you.

PWA site template with warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings"

SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows message in yellow "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings."
KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749599/en-us suggests applying Windows and SharePoint updates, but does not points to a specific update. Also suggests to enable "Always follow
web settings" for affected users who are in different time zone than the server time zone, but it does not work either.
Manjeet Singh

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings".
Users are getting this message even after correctly specifying and changing the timezone in their Sharepoint Settings. This is a common problem across the net, but we've found a workaround
that will eliminate this problem.
Step 1: Open your Web Database in your Browser
Step 2: Click the Arrow Under the Login ID (upper right corner)
Step 3: Choose My Settings
Step 4: Click the My Regional Settings Link
Step 5: Uncheck the 'Always Follow Web Settings' check and specify your time zone.
Step 6: Click OK

My time zone will not automatically reset

I have been in South America for 2 months. Coming from the states, my time zone adjusted automatically (1 hour time difference). I spent a weekend in Uruguay and when I returned to Argentina, the time zone did not readjust to Argentina time, but stayed on Uruguayan time (another hour difference). I've tried turning on/off the automatically adjust button in the time zones section as well as restarting my computer. What else can I do to fix this?

This didn't work. I've tried turning off the phone resetting location services, turning airplane mode on and off, opening the map app (which does recognize I'm in the USA ) and I'm still on brazil time.

Entourage: "Event and computer time zones do not match."

Since installing the latest update to the Mac OS (10.4.6) I have a glitch with Entourage (Office 2004 for Mac v. 11.2.3) and I believe it has something to do with the Mac OS. See below for explanation:
When adding a new calendar event to the calendar, I get an error which reads:
"Event and computer time zones do not match. In Calendar views, the event time is adjusted to display correctly." This is not true. I've checked the time zones in both my OS and Entourage and that is not the problem.
It must have to do with how it interacts with the latest update of the Mac OS. I had not updated software on my laptop for a while, and it did not exhibit this error, so as a test, I downloaded and installed the latest version of Office and tested Entourage: no error message. To be sure, I restarted the computer and tried again: no error. Then I downloaded and installed all of the latest updates to the Mac OS using Software Update: I got the error. So, I think the problem is the interaction between the latest update of Office 2004 for Mac and the latest Mac OS or maybe even just something in the Mac OS.
There are plenty of people complaining about this on the newsgroups at Mactopia. I'm not sure who needs to repair this problem - Apple or Microsoft, but does anyone know if there will be a patch issued by Microsoft to fix the problem? Or maybe my assessment is wrong and you have another solution?
Thanks very much for your help with this problem.
Dual G5 2.0 and Powerbook titanium Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am in Ohio (eastern time) and I am also having this problem. It is not annoying but my problem is I am not able to schedule any meeting on Entourage. (It will not show if the person I am inviting is busy or not). They use the Exchange server in my company, and I read on the microsoft site that public folders and hence the calendar items are not synced. But seems like this page is for Office X and not 2004. Any clues? Is the time error related to me not able to schedule meetings? I am using latest 10.4 and Entourage 2004.

JVM Time Zone does not updates

In my application, users can change the Time and the Time-Zone as required.
I m changing the system-time and system-time-zone. I used TimeZone.setDefault() method to changed the JVM's Time-Zone.
So that the JBoss server does not need to restart to get the new Time-Zone.
But Jboss does not shows the correct time in its console.
Restart of the JBoss server fix the problem.
Can anybody tell me how to tackle this issue?

Hi,
did you try to import the time zones from note 198411?
There is a fairly clear document accompanying this note, it worths reading it.

Time zone does not stick

On my new MBP (late 2008) the time is permanently incorrect. Instead of GMT+1 (central European time) it shows only GMT. I've manually set it several times, ticked time server, closed the lock, reset the PRAM and started up in safe mode; to no avail. Date is correct.
It is strange that when I set the time manually, the analog clock in the prefs panel shows the right time, while the digital one does not. Strange.
I can't find any clearly identifiable prefs file for time settings.
Does anybody have an idea? Thanks.

VERY strange. TODAY I received an email from a friend in Mexico with a very similar problem, one that I'd never heard of before. Maybe there's a clock bug that started with the new year?
Here's his message to me. Any comments would be appreciated:
I just got a new MacBook Pro (notebook) from Santa. When I set the time
in Preferences I of course chose my time zone which is Central Time
(CST). However, when I did that, the analog clock in Preferences
window shows one time and the digital clock in Preferences shows a 6
hour difference (as does the digital clock in the top menu bar). No
matter what I do to try to get the clocks to agree with one another on
CST it simply does not work. As I move the analog clock manually the
digital clock changes at the same time.
The impact is that my iCal appointments I migrated over are all
screwed up and the time stamp on emails are too.
I have reloaded the OS that came with the PC. I have spent time on
the phone with Apple Support and they are dumbfounded or mystified.
Unfortunately my or their phone line cuts when I speak to them and
then the call is a waste. +[note: He's calling from Mexico]+
In the meantime, I have set the time to GMT since all the clocks agree
and I can manage my iCal that way. But I'd like it to work properly, of
course. Any ideas?
