PROBLEM IN CUSTOMIZING TIME ZONES

Dear All,
I cannot able to change the time zone settings in the T-CODE : STZAC .when i go that transaction i cannot able to find the change button toolbar. Kindly help on this issue.
Thanks

Hello,
Good day !
SAP Picks up it's time from os level, please ensure your os has
accurate time. Then execute transaction stzac to adjust sap
system time zone. You can use stzbc to ensure you time zones &
rules are correct. See note 198411 for current information on
time zones.
Also below link might be useful in learning more about timezones:

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...

Reg Custom Time Zone in java

Hi ,
Have configured the custom Time Zone (SAST) in the Linux box.
The sh clock of the Linux box gives the custom Time Zone (SAST).
Whereas the java application gives the date in GMT Time Zone.
Noticed from the java docs that, if the custom time zone string (SAST) doesn't match the syntax ( like GMT +Value or GMT-Value) , "GMT" is used.
Even if we create SimpleTimeZone with offset from GMT, it displays the date in GMT format. It wont display the custom Time Zone.
Could anybody please suggest me a way to support Custom Time Zone in java?
(i.e.) The java application should give the date in custom Time Zone (SAST) instead of GMT format.
FYI : Java version : "1.5.0_17"
================== Snippet from java docs====================================
The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard. No daylight saving time transition schedule can be specified with a custom time zone ID. If the specified string doesn't match the syntax, "GMT" is used.
Java doc URL : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html

hi Kumar,
You can change the timezone of the JVMs using the -Duser.timezone
parameter, add -Duser.timezone=<timezone> to all dispatcher and
server processes in your systems, using the configtool
1) open config tool
2) select yes
3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX/Dispatcher"
4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=<timezone>"
5) click "Apply changes"
6) restart your instance
Let me know how is the result
Regards

Problem in Date time Zone parsing

Hi Guys,
I want format of String of time whic have time zone also. But how can i validate weather my date is correct or not .
This is i am doing because of Auto grow up problem in SimpleDateFormat.
For example : If i am parsing "2.00 AM GMT" as per mask "h:mm a z" should be correct if after format output is "2.00 AM GMT"
but if i am trying "15.00 AM GMT" as per mask it should be invalidated because after format it will return "3.00 PM GMT" this is also working as per my expectaion
But When i changed the Timzoe mask from GMT to PDT it get again fails
suggesiotn for resolving this isse willl be appreciated

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?

P.S: I've found these related things so far:

A reference to the system class, but I couldn't find anything interested in the system class.

Anyone having problems changing iCloud Time Zone?

Hi all.
I've set up my iCloud services here in the UK and all seems fine so far. However, when I logged into iCloud.com for the first time it set my Time Zone as Cupertino (the number of times Apple do this I think I might have to move there just so I don't have to change it again) but I can't change it. I have clicked on where it says Pacific Time and this opens the little map but no matter where I click on the map it just pops the map off screen and puts me back as Cupertino.
Anyone any ideas? Just buggy? My setup (Mac Mini, Lion 10.7.2, trackpd)?
Any help appreciated. My calendars look weird displaying 8hrs behind.....

OK then it seems this is related to another issue I was having. It seems Apple's iCloud service does not work well under Safari 5.1.1 and some of the necessary functions don't always work. Installed Firefox and it's up and running.

Problem with the time zone

I live in Australia, but my hole family lives in Venezuela, I want to know how I can create an event using iCalendar but using the time support from Venezuela, without changing my time zone, for example when someone is on his birthday I want to receive an alert when it's 9 a.m in Venezuela not i Australia .. Thanks guys!

I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.

What is the problem?
For answers I am grateful.

If you want the SimpleDateFormat to use an english language locale instead of the default locale, you should tell it so using the [correct constructor|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#SimpleDateFormat(java.lang.String,%20java.util.Locale)] and [appropriate Locale object|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html#ENGLISH].

Time zone manipulation problem

Hi!
I want to manipulate date with respect to some customized formats. I'm done successfully but the only problem is in Time Zone representation and manipulation. I want to show time zone information like GMT+01:00 or �CEST/CST� but it is showing like �Central European Time�.

WCS 7.0 time zone problem

Hello,
I've recently installed WCS 7.0 on a windows 2003 server and set the time zone on windows to be my local time, UYST which is GMT -2, but when I check on the WCS all times are on GMT not on UYST. Now if I change the time zone on windows to brazil, all times are shown correctly on WCS as BRST, so I know that WCS can display timezones other than GMT, it just doesn't seem to like UYST for some reason. Is there a way to define that time zone on the WCS application or at least check which timezones are supported?.
Regards,
Gabriel

Thanks for your reply Nicolas, I tried configuring the GMT -2 mid-atlantic timezone and as you said it shows correctly on WCS as GST. But if I try with for example GMT -3 Buenos Aires time zone or GMT -2 Montevideo time zone, all times are shown on WCS as GMT. As you said is not that there's a problem with the time zones on WCS is just that it doesn't recognizes some of them, that's why I was wondering if there was a way to manually add them or request them to be added on a patch.
Regards,
Gabriel Silva.

Publishing iCal - time zone issue & sending invites - Entourage?

Hi there,
Am currently looking into using iCal as our internal calendar system, and just have a couple of quick questions:
1. I've been mucking around with publishing a test calendar on .Mac, and there seems to be a problem with the time zones. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and my System Prefs on my local machine are set to this time zone, and on my .Mac account I've set them to Sydney, Australia as well. However, when I publish the calendar, an event that's in my calendar on my local machine at 10.30am ends up published as occurring at 6.30pm? Is there a preference setting I've missed somewhere?
2. Is there any way to use Entourage for sending invitations to iCal events? Even though I've set the Default E-mail Reader in Apple Mail as Entourage, whenever I try to invite a user to an iCal event, Apple Mail is launched. Why isn't it recognising my preference settings?
Thanks,
Claire.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Claire
I am not sure about No 2, but someone clever here might help.
So far as the first one goes, have a look at the orginal event (in iCal) and see whether it 'thinks' it's in Sydney. (I am guessing that you might have imported the data from elsewhere, so if it doesn't show properly you could try: a. making a positive change to the correct timezone, or b. deleting it and recreating the correct event from scratch in iCal. Then republish and check the web version. If this is getting somewhere, I can explain what I think is happening.)

How get current time zone offset ?

Hi,
I am facing to a problem related getting time zone offset.
Below code is used for my application :
NSDate* sourceDate = [NSDate date];
NSTimeZone* destinationTimeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
timeZoneOffset = [destinationTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:sourceDate] / 3600;
But sometimes seems that above code is getting work wrong. For example :
Knoxville, TN : time zone offset should be -5. But my code resulted it as -4.
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=843
This web is related my issue. Here is :
Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours
Daylight saving time: +1 hour
Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours
Actually I don't know how get to "Daylight saving time:".
Can you correct this issue for me ?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Raiden -

I think your code is giving you the correct offset for Knoxville on today's date. The offset for Eastern Standard Time (EST) is -5, but Knoxville is currently on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is one hour later than EST. (-5) + 1 => (-4), which is what your code computed.
Note that [secondsFromGMTForDate:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Co coa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimeZoneClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000190-CACDIAIC] is correcting for daylight savings time. That's why you need to pass the date to that method. If you pass a "summer" date, the return offset will be one hour more than it will be for a "winter" date (usually early November to mid March). For example, try moving the date forward 60 days like this:
NSDate *sourceDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:3600 * 24 * 60];
NSTimeZone* destinationTimeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
int timeZoneOffset = [destinationTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:sourceDate] / 3600;
NSLog(@"sourceDate=%@ timeZoneOffset=%d", sourceDate, timeZoneOffset);
The above should give you the offset for Knoxville on Dec. 7, 2010, which is a winter date.
Actually I don't know how get to "Daylight saving time:".
You can test a NSTimeZone object with [isDaylightSavingTimeForDate:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentat ion/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimeZoneClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000190-CHDCJGHE], but you don't need that information when you obtain the offset with secondsFromGMTForDate:.

Automatic time zone detection

Hello, I'm having a problem detecting automatic time zone on a macbook air. If i set location detection on automatic it detects it in Moskow- Russia and it's about 900 kilometers from my current location (Toila-Estonia). It's i big problem, because new feature on iCloud that can show current location of mac shows my posision in Moskow. Any suggestions why it's so ?
Sorry for my bad English.
Aleksandr

This is happening to both my spouse (TURBO 32GB) and I (TURBO 64GB). The first time she noticed was three days ago. Her phone was correct at home (Pacific time zone), but when she got to Seatac airport, her phone was in Alaska time zone. Yesterday, I went downtown and my phone's time went back an hour and the time zone was set to Alaska. At home, it is correctly set to Pacific with correct time. It is correct right now, but her's is wrong right now (she's downtown). Seems like something wrong in the information the phone is receiving off the network, but could it be the phones? This wasn't happening a week ago. Thanks for any thoughts.

For example I set the Time Zone to GMT-04:00 Caracas, La Paz, the phones show the correct hours, the problem is specific whit the time zone GMT-04:00 Santiago. There is a problem with this time zone, Santiago, in this version of the Call Manager?

Appointments received showing one hour forward and Reykjavik time zone

My appointments received are showing one hour forward and Reykjavik as the time zone. When I check them on my outlook desktop they are the correct time. I've checked my time zone ans settings on my z10 and they are correct. I can correct them using edit on the phone but don't want to have to do this each time. Am I missing something?
I saw a post from another time zone which said it was a bug that the developers were working on and a work around was to alter the time zone on the phone by an hour but surely this would alter the time on the phone?

I have tried the same BES installation with an Exchange 2010 Server. No problem with the time zone there.
I have testet an 10.1. Smartphone with Exchange 2003. No problem. All of our 10.2 devices have this problems. On two of these devices the sync of the caleneder has stoped completely. Im now searching for a was back to 10.1 on the affected blackberry devices.
