OT: USA Daylight Savings Reminder

Hey gang, Daylight savings in the USA is happening this weekend which is earlier then usual. Make sure you launch software update, download, and install the daylight savings patch if you haven't done so already.

Many thanks for the reminder.
But do a software update because of DST? DANGER WILL ROBINSON! I suggest changing the clock MANUALLY and not risk whatever damage the lovely software update can potentially create (as they are known to do)... This goes along with my rule of "never update unless there's a known benefit". And if I can set my clock manually, then IMO there's no known benefit to updating. Unless there's something I'm missing here...

Daylight Savings Time for the USA

I am trying to add a new entry for the new daylight savings time change implemented in the United States in a 4.6C system. I am trying to make the change per SAP note 919538.
The problem is when I go into transaction STZBC, and try to add a new entry for the USA, after I input what was stated in the SAP note and try to save the new entry, I receive an error "Choose the key from the allowed name space".
How have others implemented this change? I am unsure of modifying the entry that is there already for the USA since the sap note says to add a new entry.
Regards,
Doug Slupski

Hi Doug
Isn't this message informational only?? It does not show as an Error. If you hit Enter a couple of times, it should go thru...
I am not sure if it will wipe out the previous entry under the Key "USA"from the table.
Make a note of the previous values before u hit enter. After you have made the change, check if it overwrote that value.
If not, then you should be fine..If yes, chnage the value under USA to he original values and open up an OSS message.
Hope that helps..
Thanks

Reminder times change with daylight savings time

How can I prevent my reminders from changing with daylight savings? I want the times to remain static throughout the year.

Michael,
I never have changed time zones. Are you suggesting I should have time zone support enabled ?
I just tried turning on Time Zone Support, then restoring my calendar using Time machine. No change here.
As I mentioned earlier, this same problem occurred in the fall (although I don't remember which way the event times moved), this time they moved forward. At the Fall change I was using a Mac G4, which I used as a target to build this machine. The only thing I can think of that makes me unique (although I'm not in that small of a group) is that I have altered one of the files in iSync to allow iSync to sync calendar events with iCal. The syncing has always worked OK.
Right now I'm leary of attempting to do anything with iSync. I'm also finding it difficult to believe I'm not one of 10,000 people experiencing the same problem, but I don't see any other posts.
I found a time zone in south america which returns my times to the correct figure, with time zone support enabled, but that looks like a deeper hole to dig out of.
Still stuck,
Bill

Daylight Savings for Arizona

Has Apple compensated the new Daylight Savings for Arizona, USA? We do not change our clocks, rather, we "switch" between Pacific and Mountain time zones.
Thanks and of course points will be applied.

Madok,
You asked: So, like in the past, has Apple taken into account our unique situation with their latest updates?
According to About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (delta): Makes Mac OS X aware of United States Daylight Savings Time (DST) changes enacted by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

HOw do I fix the fact that ical jumped (almost) all my events post daylight savings time change an hour ahead?

A few weeks ago I noticed that everything past 3/8 was an hour ahead, and I assumed once daylight savings time changed it would all jump back. It hasn't, and I don't know how to continue scheduling events or if I should change them all. I read that (a few years ago) the suggestion was give it 24 hours to adjust??

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

Alarm turned off after daylight savings change?

Hi. I woke up late this morning. I know I set my alarm last night. Last night was the change to daylight savings (forward one hour). Ok, I'm human, so of course being asleep, I can't be 100% sure I didn't turn it off without waking... we all have done that right? :P But I'm fairly certain I didn't, and am wondering if this may be a software glitch. I don't want to wait 6 months to find out when it changes back.
iPhone 4 fully updated. Alarm set to 5:30am

It seems that because of the structure and communication of Apple corporation, the Apple telephone support staff may not necessarily know any more than a thoughtful user, and almost certainly will know less about this particular alarm issue than a user who peruses these forums. For example, they didn't know that turning off Time Zone Support is another way to temporarily solve the problem (as an alternative to changing Set Automatically to OFF) - something I learnt from an Apple discussion.
This problem was raised in these discussions in June of this year for users in Lithuania and in Sri Lanka. It was New Zealand's turn in late September, and Australia's turn on Sunday. My guess is that Apple will scramble to fix the issue before it hits USA users in November, but why rush until then, when it's only users from other parts of the world (non-Americans) being affected?

Will Iphone change to daylight savings?

I have to go to work tomorrow at 7 am... and I am not sure if my Iphone will automatically adjust to daylight savings... can any of you help? Iphone 3G here with AT&T obviously (in USA)

bowlerboy-
Yep, and I'm surprised nobody else I've talked to had that problem. I actually overslept by an hour this morning because the phone kicked itself back like that. I'd turned off the automatic date/time setting and rolled it back an hour myself, not trusting that it'd get the signal properly. Well, at 2am it set itself back automatically an additional hour. I was pretty late to work as a result. (As a side note, I also had a second alarm clock set, but it did the same thing my iPhone did...automatically set itself back an additional hour at 2am after I'd rolled it back myself before bed! D'oh!)
So...I guess turning off the automatic date/time setting doesn't really get rid of all the automation. I think it must be a calendar setting.

IPhone calendar time problem post daylight savings time change

Addendum to the similar post about a one hour differential between iCal and iPhone. THis is not just iCal. I have the same problem on WIndows XP/Outlook 2003. Everythign worked fine until the time change last weekend. Now this is what happens:
Any meeting set up in Outlook BEFORE Daylight Savings that has a start date BEFORE Daylight Savings appears properly on iPhone. FOr example, every Thursday beginning Nov 1 at 8am. THis shows up correct in iPhone at 8am for today, Nov 8.
But, any meeting set up AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour later on the iPhone when I sync. SO a meeting I set up in OUtlook for 10am today shows up at 11am on the iPhone.
And, any calendar event I set up on the iPhone AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour earlier in Outlook 2003.
THis is a huge problem for me! Both of my calendars are wrong now. PLease help!!! I have tried everything I can:
I tried setting up meetings with the OUtlook Daylight Savings setting enables and disabled: no change. No differnce whether I set up the meeting on my PC or it is an invitation from someone else. I lost all sync history. no change. I overwrote all calendar content (in iPhone advanced options) - no change.
And, as my fellow poster mentions - the tiime on the two systems match.

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.

IPhone 6 Plus Daylight Savings Time Problem

My recent upgrade from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus has been generally positive, but today the phone outsmarted me.
The phone seemed to be correctly reset to daylight savings time for most of the day.
Around 6PM I set an alarm for 8PM to remind me to wake my sister from a nap.
A while later the alarm goes off. It didn't seem like two hours. I called my sister and said it was eight,
but alas it was only 7PM.
I went into the alarm settings and sure enough the alarm was still set for 8PM.
My Mac Pro says it is 7PM, and the MacBook says so also.
I am on the central coast of California, in Santa Maria. My provider is Sprint.
My very expensive smart phone seems confused about the time. :-(
Thoughts?

The alarm issue is a known problem and apparently Apple plans on fixing it with iOS 4.2. Here's a link to news items about the alarm issue.

IdM Scheduler and Time Change to Daylight Savings Time GMT to BST

This isn't really a 'question' , but just a topic for discussion.
We're not live yet, but will be by the time the clocks go back. So I'm just interest to hear everyone's experiences and any issues with regards to the switching to / from DST
I did some "interesting" (or not) tests last night to see what happens with Pending Values which are due to take effect at the time change threshold of 01:00 GMT when switching to Daylight Savings Time (BST) GMT +0100.
It seems as if the IdM scheduler keeps going according to UTC or GMT. However any values provisioned to target systems or to local tables using the ddm.datetime8601 system variable are in local time according to the runtime server or SQL server's locale settings.
I set up a task to output from a javascript the current system date
using the following in the functions.
currentTime = new Date();
return currentTime.toString(); // returns Locale Time String
currentTime = new Date();
return currentTime.toUTCString(); // returns UTC Time String
in the same pass I also output the ddm.datetime8601 system parameter and the ddm.time24 system parameter.
This task was to update a comment on an entry and Scheduled to run at 00:00:00 and was executed at 00:00:06 GMT all times were still in GMT as expected.
Local Time: Sun Mar 27 00:00:06 GMT-0000 (GMT) 2011, UTC Time: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:00:06 GMT, ddm.datetime8601: 2011-03-27T00:00:06, ddm.time24: 00:00:06
This task was scheduled at 01:00:00 in IdM and was exectued at 01:00:08 GMT by the runtime, and you can see the local time is being correctly reported as 02:00:08 BST. Note also the ddmdatetime8061 is also 02:00:08 i.e. BST.
Local Time: Sun Mar 27 02:00:08 GMT+0100 (BST) 2011, UTC Time: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 01:00:08 GMT, ddm.datetime8601: 2011-03-27T02:00:08, ddm.time24: 02:00:08
In the database the entry values MXI_VALUES ModifyTime field has the GMT / UTC timestamp.
I also set up some pending value objects to be applied at 00:59:59 and 01:30:00 to see if the 01:30:00 would be 'skipped' as the locl clock change would've gone from 00:59:59 to 02:00:00. Well the pending values were correctly applied and expired and no 'lost' transactions happened as a result of the change.
So essentially it seems to me that the IdM runtime and scheduler times are all based on UTC / GMT.
I guess it's only an issue twice a year if you're expecting something to happen at a specific local time 01:00:00 or if you've got a global user base and their account expiry should be in each user's own country's local time. In these cases, it would seem that you'd need to convert the schedule times and pending value times to UTC first before setting them in the database.
Has anyone else had any issues, thoughts, questions or suggestioins on scheduling tasks which span the DST time change when switching to and from Daylight Savings Time.

Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change

This is a known issue and there is an SAP Knowledge Base Article created on this issue:
1448881 - Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change
Below is the information from the SAP Knowledge Base Article:
Symptom
Scheduled reports that are supposed to run once a day, run multiple times.
Duplicate instances are being created.
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5 + FP5.x
Reproducing the Issue
A report is scheduled to be run on a daily basis - this is a Recurring schedule.
Normally the report runs once a day, at a particular time.
After Daylight Savings Time change, the report runs at the specified time, but immediately after the successful instance, another instance is spawned.
Many more instances spawn after each instance completes.
Cause
This is a known issue: ADAPT01318487. This issue is because of DST and how our code handles this change.
Resolution
There is currently no known fix for this issue. There is however a script that can quickly resolve the problem.
The issue it seems is related to Daily recurring schedules.
What this script will do:
it will run a query to display all your DAILY Recurring jobs
you will have the option to choose your jobs and reschedule them by 1 hour
you will then highlight the same job and change them back by 1 hour
by modifying the schedule times, you are modifying the schedule itself and this will keep the issue of duplicate instances from occurring.
Exact Steps to Complete:
Stop the Job Servers.
Double click on the .hta file.
Change the System Name to that of your CMS name.
Add the Administrator's password.
Click Logon.
Click List All Recurring Instances.
Select All.
Make note of what it says in: Schedule Selected Recurring Instances: Should be 1 hr earlier.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Choose All instances again and change Schedule Selected Recurring Instances to 1 hour Later.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Now start your Job Servers.
The issue should not occur again.
The Script is attached here, but please review the SAP Knowledge Base article 1448881 as well

Hi Nicola,
- The multiple spawned instances issue ONLY affects XI3 SP3+ only. For XI3 SP1 and SP2 all Fix Pack levels this is not an issue as it was introduced as a problem in SP3.
- 1568239 notes the Java version and can apply to all O/S environments and is updated to reflect that.
If you are located in Europe you can also apply the patches in advance of the DST change to avoid the problem. If you are in Americas at this point utilizing the clean up scripts for this year is the approach needed to clean up the spawned instances and reschedule the existing schedules.
Thanks,
Chris

Daylight savings all-day events issues in updated iCal for iPad

After purchasing new MBP, Genius Bar told me to update to new iCal. I have noticed that any all-day events taking place on the date that daylight savings begins (3/13/11 i.e.) lasts on iPad's iCal for two days. When I attempt to edit, event still displays for two days. Guessing it is because that day technically lasts for only 23 hours. Genius Bar consultant had no suggestions for a remedy. This error appears for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 daylight savings beginning dates. The error doesn't seem to be a problem for the MBP or my iPhone.

I've experienced the same problem. I set up a recurring one day event on the first of each month - come April 1 in 2012 the event is spread over 2 days (the end of daylight savings time in Australia) from April onwards. I can muck around with the event and have it set at one day from April1 onwards in 2012 but there's a recurring event bug related to daylight savings. I wonder if any alarms people have set for that day will again experience the problems from the past?

Iphone calendar off by 1 hour after daylight savings

i have my iphone synced to my outook 2007 through an exchange server. after daylight savings this weekend, all of my appointments are now off by 1 hour. they are all correct in my outlook and on the exchange server (verified by web browser). i've tried deleting the exchange account from the phone and reinstalling, but that doesn't work. also, when i try adding a new appointment on my iphone, it shows up off by one hour in the exchange calendar. my iphone is currently showing the correct time.
anyone know what the heck is going on?

I also had success using this method, from above:
On iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll way down to Time Zone Support. Note that it's listed as GMT-4. Turn slide button to OFF, then back to ON. Note that it automatically goes to Washington, DC (GMT-5).
Calendar appointment times now correct.
Time on the iPhone updated automatically for daylight savings, but the Time Zone Support function didn't make the one-hour shift; they ended up out by an hour from one another. Forcing Time Zone Support to refresh its settings was all that was needed.

Outlook 2011 for mac daylight savings time issue

Hello,
I have a problem in my company where after daylight savings time meetings are shown an hour off in the calendar, but in the body of the meeting the time seems fine. The real problem is when after updating the meeting from it's body (just pressing save and
close) the meeting is bloated by an hour.
E.g. if a meeting after daylight savings time is from 11:00 to 12:00, it's shown on the calendar from 12:00 to 13:00, but after updating the meeting it's shown from 11:00-13:00.
This happens only on the macs in the company.
Thank you.

Linked Files in InDesign Now Modified after Daylight Savings Change

I looked for a discussion on this and couldn’t find one so if there is one already open please direct me to it and my apologies.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem after the Daylight Savings Time Change on November 6th.
Starting on Monday, November 7th we have noticed that all of our InDesign files that had artwork files linked to the document are now coming up as being modified in the Links pallet even though that artwork has not been modified. I haven’t recalled having this issue since we were using Quark 4 and InDesign CS.
All files are stored on Windows servers running ExtremeZIP, all InDesign files are being opened on Mac Intel and Mac PowerPc models running either OSX 10.4 or OSX 10.6. All servers and Macs are sinc’d to pull the date and time from the same server and we verified that they are matching to the second.
We get the same results if the files are opened in InDesign CS4, CS5 or CS5.5.
Is anyone else seeing this issue and if so have you been able to rectify it without updating all the links and saving the files.
I’ve been searching everywhere and I have found tech notes from Adobe that states that this issue was fixed in CS4.0.6 but we are running this version and still suffering from the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

This sounds like an ExtremeZIP bug. Like perhaps your server is not acconting for daylight saving properly in its on-the-wire protocol. I seem to recall there are a number of gotchas about this involving Windows. I would check with ExtremeZIP. Did the file dates/times change as shown by Get Info in the finder? I suppose it would be difficult to tell at this point...
