Regional Settings - User Profile Time Zone

The user profile property time zone will only apply to the users My Site. How can you apply that time zone to the web application or site collection? So that a user from San Francisco will see calendar events on the main intranet in PST, rather than
CST.

Hi Peter,
Per my knowledge, if the time zone in the user profile is different from the time zone in the site, the time displayed in the site will be in the format based on the time zone setting in user profile.
After changing the time zone in user profile, it needs some time to save the changes back to SharePoint, so there will be some time delay of changing the time format in the site.
Please also make sure that the Always use my personal settings is selected in user profile.
Even though the time zone is not changed in the site, the time format will change based on the time zone setting in user profile if the user chooses a different time zone in his user profile.
Thanks,
Victoria

  • Is PGI date beased on system date or user profile time zone date?

    Hi All,
    When doing PGI what date system will take as Actual good issue date ? whether the System Date or User local Time zone date which maintained in User profile. If you have any idea on this please share.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You need to check with the basis team for settings this to your local time.
    You can also check the field Personal time zone of the user in t.code SU01. I am not sure this will update the timings in the database when the user performs some action.

  • Server/User profile time

    Hello experts,
    I am an SD/ABAP person. We have a set of App servers with load balancing with central Europe time. The same set of servers are used all over the world. Personal user time in User profile is set to the zone the user actually works. Is this a stable way to set the system?
    I understand, for example, that the posting date of a document would reflect user time and document creation date would reflect server time.
    Whats the best architecture for such a global scenario? Please share your experience.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
        In my experience most of the Customers I have seen use the same way you mentioned. Please check the following SAP Help document, might be useful

  • Report for Users Personal Time Zone Set.

    Hi All,
    Is there any report or transaction code, which can give me the list of users with their Personal Time Zone set by Individual on the ECC 6.0 system?
    Thank You in Advance.

    You are assuming that there is a standard report but so far no-one can recollect it.
    Have you done the following:?
    1. Identified the relevant field
    2. In SE84 do a "where used" on that field to ID the tables it is in
    3. Looked in all those tables
    If it's directly in a table then that will help, if it's stuck in a structure then that's not so good.
    You could also do a trace via ST05 to see what tables are referenced or updated when you make the change

  • Incorrect time offset settings for Russian time zones

    I'm putting new USC blade servers to production. I've discovered that if I set correct time zone for my city ( "Asia/Yekaterinburg (Moscow+02 Urals)" ), the time shown in USC Manager is one hour behind the actual time. It seems that this bug is related to any Russian time zone. For example, if I select Novosibirsk time zone (Asia/Moscow+3), the system shows correct time for my city, which is one hour behind Novosibirsk time.
    USC Manager version is 2.1(1a) (the latest version available for download from Cisco site). The system is set to obtain correct time from NTP server which is local Windows domain controller (which, in turn, syncronizes its time from Internet NTP server).
    Switching between summer and winter time in Russia was cancelled two or three years ago. I suspect that Cisco programmers are simply unaware of this fact.

    Hi Evgeniy,
    We had a bug filed for this and this was supposed to be fixed in 2.1 release.

    Let me check in my lab as well and check with the engineering (if required) and communicate back to you.

  • Contacts App in my macbook pro displays an image and I don't want it. I can change it but I cant just get rid of it. Actually I cant change it, neither from the contacts app or the settings users profiles. Appears changeable but changes dont stick.

    The image in question is next to my own entry in the address book. If I open the padlock any change in the selected image appears set but when I send an email the default image still appears so I cant even change it let alone achieve my goal of just not having a silly icon/image next to my name. I actually dont want an image at all, I want my recipients just to recieve my email. I think its really unprofessional to have silly images assigned and I cannot stand to send emails this way. Really appreciate if anyone could help me rid this daft image from my emails and contact app. I just dont get the point of not having control over this silliness myself. Apologes for being grumpy but i just wasted and hour and half trying to simply stop this happening. Really frustrated. I cant use my macbook pro for emailing as they look unprofessional and silly if sent from the mac.
    Thanks for any help.

    It doesn't show when you send mail.  It's only there to tell you which user sent the mail.  It does NOT show up on any mail you send.  It should be the image that you selected in System Preferences> Users & Groups > Your Account. That is where you can change it, and it will "stick."

  • UTC Time Zone Impact to Sales & Distribution

    We've decided to set out time zone for UTC within the system, while the individual users will set their time zones accordingly.  However, we feel this may lead to some issues with the 6-7 hr time zone difference as most of the users are in Eastern Time or Central Time.  Orders which are created after 7pm Eastern time are recorded as created the following day. 
    I'm sure some of you SD gurus have came across and discussed this same problem during the course of a project.. just looking for some specifics to look for when it comes to time zone issues with SD processing.  (example: batch jobs, variants, time stamps, inbound sales IDocs from different time zones, sales orders data conversion time stamps, date extracts to BI)

    Keep the user time zones in the user profile (t.code SU01). By this way, user transactions will reflect the user time zone -time stamps. For example check this thread Is PGI date beased on system date or user profile time zone date?
    Most of the time the basis team can help you to over come the issues. You can also do some testing related to background job running, IDOC receipt/send etc in the test system for clear understanding.
    Related OSS Note 481835 - Analyzing the time zone settings for basis team can also be a reference.

  • 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.

  • Time zone Inbox (user vs. server)

    We created the users and defined your specific time zone (su01), when the user login to the portal and created documents the time displayed its correct (zone depending), nevertheless when the same user access to the portal inbox, the filter is by server time zone, how can i define the inbox filter by time zone of the login user???

    Hi Egor,
    > I know, http-browser transmits time zone information
    > in http-request
    IE? If I call www.google.com, I cannot see the TZ anywhere, checked by HTTPWatch. There is also no corresponding setting within IE. You could only map prefered languages to locales, but that doesn't work really proper, for they work over different time zones.
    Also see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock - no automatic detection.
    Also see http://www.javaworld.com/javaforums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Enterprisejava&Number=12640&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=9&o=&fpart=1
    So I would suggest to use the user's time zone, and if not set, to use the server's time. It's the fault of the user admins if the time zone is not set!
    > Both functions don't return time zone information
    Right. And as said, mapping the locale to a time zone is a (bad) workaround, nothing I would advise.
    Hope it helps

  • Apex 4.1 bug? Application language derived from Session changes time zone

    I have created an application in Apex 4.1 and in the "Initialization PL/SQL Code" for the session (what used to be called the VPD section) I have the following code:
    begin
      execute immediate 'alter session set time_zone = ''+01:00''';
    end;This works as expected, UNLESS the "Application Language Derived From" (under "Edit Globalization Attributes") is set to "Session", in which case the session's time zone is also affected (and not just the language, as one would expect).
    This can be seen in the following simple example, which runs the above code to set the time zone, and has the language derived from "Session":
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595
    This shows
    sessiontimezone = -05:00Even though the session's time_zone has been explicitly set to +01:00 with the ALTER SESSION statement.
    Experimentation with the URL shows that if a p_lang parameter is passed, with a valid language identifier, for example:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595&p_lang=de
    then the time zone is affected (showing -05:00 instead of +01:00).
    However, if an INVALID time zone identifier is passed:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595&p_lang=xx
    then the session time zone is CORRECT according to the ALTER SESSION command:
    sessiontimezone = +01:00If I change the "Application Language Derived From" to something else than "Session" (for example, "Browser" or "Item Preference"), then the timezone is also correct (ie follows the ALTER SESSION command).
    Running the page in debug mode confirms that the time zone is being set after my VPD/initialization code has been run:

    Conclusion: It seems to me that when the LANGUAGE is set to be derived from the "Session", this also, as a side effect, alters the session TIME ZONE, which must be a bug... ?

    Hi Arie,
    When you are setting the language to derived from session you actually declare that you are working in a dynamic environment – per session – and not in a static one. Using the Initialization PL/SQL Code is very static as the same code is executed for every database session.I was using a fixed time zone value in the ALTER SESSION to demonstrate the bug/problem... in real life, the actual time zone is derived dynamically based on a user profile stored in the database.
    APEX 4.0 introduced the Automatic Time Zone under the Globalization tab. By default it’s set to No but setting it to Yes will allow you to use your local time zone (as derived from your browser) with whatever language derived setting you choose, including per session with the *&p_lang* parameter.The key point is that LANGUAGE has nothing to do with TIME ZONEs, and vice versa. People speak English (and Spanish, and French, and Chinese for that matter) all over the world. You cannot determine a user's time zone based on the chosen language.
    You're telling me to enable "Automatic Time Zone" to work around an unwanted side effect from changing the language setting. Sorry, but that just sounds like bad advice to me.
    If you want to use session derived language, however the local time zone settings are not good for you, you can still change them with a Before Header and After Submit PL/SQL processes and an appropriate alter session statement, on a per page base. The APEX engine will not ignore a page based session setting.Why should I have to do this for every page when the "VPD" Section (now called "Initialization PL/SQL Code") is made for this purpose?
    If you look at the help text in the Apex builder for that section, it actually says that:
    The code entered here need not pertain to VPD/FGAC and may not be related to security at all.
    Any code that needs to be executed at the earliest point in a page request can be placed here.
    For example, the following code sets the database session time zone for every page request:
    BEGIN
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set time_zone = ''Australia/Sydney'' ';
    END;So I hope the demonstrated behavior is not intentional, but a bug, and I'm hoping Joel sees it the same way.

  • 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?

  • Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
    Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
    First example.
    I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
    Second example.
    I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
    I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
    As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
    It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
    So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
    Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
    PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

    I am having a similar problem:  invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
    this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in:  I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST).  My settings have my time zone set correctly.
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS:  Using iPad original wit iOS5

  • DP background jobs in local time zone

    We are using APO DP in an international environment (SCM 4.1). We have setup up the system, that is using the local time zone (personal user settings), which is working fine in interactive planning (data views & macros). But when executing the macros
    in background (APO background jobs triggered immediately by a process chain), the macro is run based on the server time and not in the local time zone. The ALEREMOTE user is set up in the same way online users regarding time zone settings.
    Can someone explain, why the local time zone isn't used in the macros when executing in background, and tell me which setting we have missed.
    Many thanks in advance

    HI,
    I understand the issue, the issue is the Australia gets days very first from the world.. it almost GMT+11 hrs. will almost a day difference to US.
    I am not sure whether my proposal will make sense, but let me try
    As the month completes we will copy the sales history  for the closed month. where technically the the month is current month as per the system time.
    Why can not change the macro to copy current period and run at system time? i am not sure aobut the otherconstriantes.
    But looking at your question, it could be possible where your client has the local time zone defined. you can check the same from any APO screen, from menu > systems->status. you can see both time zone ( local) system time.
    I suggest you check with basis if we can use the local time zone, we can use the localtimezone but agian everyone has to use our local time.. NO SENSE i guess..

  • Deleting local user profile on RDS without reboot

    I need to delete the local profile for a user on our RDS server, because of a problem with this user.
    Since the user was using RDS a few days ago, and RDS wasn’t rebooted since, I can’t delete the local profile. When I go to advanced system settings—user
    profiles. The ‘delete’ option is greyed out.
    I know that I can reboot the server then will be able to delete it, but since this server is serving many users, it means they all have to stop using it.
    Is there a way to delete this user’s profile without rebooting the server?
    I use sever 2008 R2.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    A local user profile is created the first time a user logs on to a computer. The profile is stored on the computer's local hard disk. Changes made to the local user
    profile are specific to the user and to the computer on which the changes are made.
    Windows security requires a user profile for each user account on a computer. The system automatically creates a local user profile for each user when the user logs
    on to the computer for the first time. The system automatically maintains the settings for each user's work environment in a user profile on the local computer.
    Windows Vista and later: User profiles are managed through the
    User Accounts control (UAC) panel item.
    You can open the
    Control Panel and click User Accounts, then click the Change User Account Control setting, dropped to the lowest turn off UAC. Press OK.
    Then you can use administrator account try again to see whether you can delete the local user profile or not.

    Are you scheduling Crystal Reports? 
    If so, the special field "Current User CE Time Zone" is set to the Time Zone specified for the User that has scheduled the instance.    You can "Schedule on behalf of" to alter the User context under which a Crystal Report is scheduled.
    You can write reports using that time zone value to modify time zone info as needed within the report.
    I don't know if there is a way to impart different Time Zone info with Web or Desktop Intelligence scheduling.
