Retreiving GMT Time

Hi everyone,
How to convert Indian time to GMT time? Is it possible to convert? If yes, how to convert? Give me query to retrieve current date and time to GMT format.

Unfortunately, NEW_TIME is rather limited and only supports a subset of the allowed time zones-- basically just those in North America. Oracle didn't get serious about time zone support until 9i with the introduction of the TIMESTAMP data type.
Since you're stuck on a desupported version of Oracle, your options will tend to be rather limited. The best option may be to write a Java stored procedure that uses Java's ability to manipulate time zone information to convert to GMT. If IST is a fixed offset from one of the time zones NEW_TIME supports, you could also convert to that suported time zone and then do some arithmatic to get the answer. This latter option, however, is likely going to be messy.

How can i work out the GMT time wherever i am ?

Hi, i'm going crazy with the date/time classes, just can't seem to work it out.
I need to know the current time as a GMT time.
I need to know wherever the program is running, i myself am in Amsterdam GMT+02:00 , my server is located in Canada GMT-04:00 (?)
I parse dates from websites all over the world so i get times in the form of strings of which i know the timezone. I need to store everything in a mysql database and i want the database to contain GMT times only.
I've worked out how to get a string from its timezone into GMT but,
how can i get the current time as GMT ?
somehow i keep getting timeshifts i cannot explain.
this is where i got to:
TimeZone tz_gmt;
tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
Timestamp tsGmtnow;
tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
Which is fine if i run it in Amsterdam, it gives me the current date/time in GMT, but on the server in Canada it gives me GMT+4 hours. What am i missing ?

found a workaround,
     TimeZone tz_gmt;
     tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
     TimeZone tz_can;
     tz_can = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-04:00");
     TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
     String Stz = tz.getID();
     SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
     Timestamp tsGmtnow;
if ( "Europe/Berlin".compareTo(Stz) == 0) {
     // i'm in Europe, go from local time to GMT
     sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
     tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
} else {
     // i'm in Canada, local time IS gmt
     sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_can);
     tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
out.println(tsGmtnow.toString());
the default timezone returns either:
Europe/Canada
GMT-04:00
somehow the GMT-04:00 get ignored by the formatter

GMT time stamps interfere with calendar in 8.1.2

How do I prevent GMT time stamps from interfering with my calendars? This did not occur until I upgraded to OS 8.1.2
I sync an iPod touch 5th generation with google calendars, and have done so with this device for over a year, and on a generation 3 device for four years - all without hassle.
Since upgrading to 8.1.2 my calendar is suddenly very difficult to use.

Hi All,
I am trying to develop JSP client for a conversational webservice. I amtrying
it in two ways and
none of them is working.
1)
I have put the Java Proxy file generated by Weblogic Workshop for myWebservice
in the lib
directory of the web application. According to article posted in "DearJohn" series,
my proxy
must have methods that take one additional argument to pass in Header infoapart
from all
the arguments mentioned by me. But, I don't see any methods like this inmy proxy
and
corresponding stub.
2)
Other suggested method is to use Webservices Control. In this, I amsetting a
string as
Conversation ID when I invoke a method that is marked to startconversation. Further,
if I
invoke any other method marked Continue in the same JSP it works. But,from another
JSP
where I set the same conversation ID and then try to call a method markedas Continue,
it does not work. It say, check whether you have start a conversation. Ican see
my conversation
in Test browser and I am calling continue method before max-idle-time.
I am not sure which step I am missing. Help Required!!!
Thanks in advance,
Sushil

Is there any way to prevent my Calendar from displaying in GMT time?

I just update my iOS to 8.1.2 on my iPhone 6. It appears in my calendar in GMT time despite the fact that I set my time zone to +7
Why Apple support team never solve this problem. So confusing.

Hi chalit2000,
If you are seeing Calendar events listed in a time zone other than the one the iPhone is currently set for, you may want to check to see if Time Zone Support is enabled. You may find the following article helpful:

Problem in retreiving the time from the table

I have stored time in varchar2 format but in forms in order to enable a button i have to compare the time,for that I have used to_char(sysdate,'HH24') as : is not working.How to retreive the time in its exact format/?

Hi,
When you compare the Date and Time Fields which of varchar Type, we will get undesirable results.
Always, Trying Store date in DATE Type.
As, you are using stroed in Character type,
Just try something like this,
SELECT TO_DATE ('23:00:00', 'HH24:MI:SS')
FROM DUAL;Which displays the
Date
6/1/2012 11:00:00 PMThe better way is to convert your varchar2 type to date format and check against it.
Thanks,

Why Date() return local and GMT time intermixturely

I have following code in my Java application:
Date dt = new Date();
System.out.println("Local Time: " + dt.toString());
I got local date (CST) at most time. But I got GMT format date few times within hours' running by the same code and the same running, which will crash my DateFormate later.
Can anyone tell me why this happened? Is there any way I may use to make sure of that "new Date() will return only one date format, local or GMT"?
Thanks.

Do appreciate of your reply. In my application, I do use new Date() and DateFormat.format() like you suggested. But I caught following exception. Then I use Date.toString() to test Date and found that " new Date() return local time (CST time) and GMT time intermixturely". Most time, my application got CST time string and my SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd' 'HH:mm:ss:SSS") works well. But few times a running, new Date() return a GMT time string, then I got following exception. I was confused by why one statement "Date dt = new Date();" in one running return both CST and GMT time.

Iphone 5C setting appointments in GMT time zone, not my time zone

Why is my iPhone 5C now recording my calendar appointments in GMT time, not my time zone. I started happening a few weeks ago. I just updated the iOS to version 8.1.2 and it is still happening. Any suggestions?

See this thread, ongoing for several months: iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

Always return GMT Time Zone in Bundle Image Deployment

I have application that need to get window PC time zone, when use Bundle Image Deployment (include runtime jre), it always return GMT time zone no matter which time zone I set on my PC. After I replace runtime/jre in the image folder with complete jre, then it returns time zone correctly. Is it a bug in bundle deployment?

Thanks.

I am experiencing similar type of issue. I subscribed to a Calendar which has scheduled meeting from my time zone and different time zone. When I subscribe in OS X, it shows flawlessly on local time. But when I do it in IOS 7, it shows MST as-is in EST time zone and no matter we play around all the time zone setting in General tab or Mail/Calendar tab. It's not helping.
Appears to be a bug in IOS 7. It needs to be reported to Apple.

Java script question: about GMT time

Hi,
i'd like to get a GMT time. using javascript below:
function setTime(){
var a = new Date();
a = a.toGMTString();
but after output the a's value, i found it's:
Tue, 28 Aug 2001 04:11:01 UTC
the format is GMT's format, but the string shown in the end isn't GMT, but UTC. why? and how to change it to
Tue, 28 Aug 2001 04:11:01 GMT ?

I would guess that, at least with 1.3.1, you will have to do it yourself.
java.util.TimeZone t = java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("UMT");
System.out.println("tz=" + t.getDisplayName());
.The above displays the time zone as GMT, even though UMT was selected.
Presuming that UMT=GMT (web search revealed some conflicts and my definitive work is not available) then the following should do it.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat f
= new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("EEE d, MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");
java.util.TimeZone t = java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("UMT");
if (t == null)
throw new Exception("No UMT zone");
System.out.println("tz=" + t.getDisplayName());
f.setTimeZone(t);
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
System.out.println("d=" + f.format(d) + " UMT");

GMT time zone keeps coming up

When entering an appointment in the calendar, it automatically comes up as GMT Time Zone. I have tried various options; gone to the Apple Store, and checked online. Response is that it's a bug with iOS8 and a fix is coming. Is that the case? I believe I only started having this problem after going to the iOS8 software.

This is a well known problem, one post has over 35 pages. Basically it looks like an iOS problem with certain external calendar systems (Google Calendar being the most common). Hopefully Apple will fix it some day.

Why are my apple calendars using GMT time zone?

My iPhone and iPad are using the GMT time zone. Why???

I'd like to bump this and add to it....We have a 30Mbps broadband connection with Aiport Express providing the wireless. When Apple TV is streaming Netflix, all other devices are virtually useless. I test each device on speedtest.net and they are all now 1-2Mbps and less, often stalling out. HOWEVER, if I stream Netflix on my wirelessly connected Mac Mini, all other devices consistently test at 22Mbps+. What is going on? I'm tempted to toss my Apple TV. Any time someone uses the Apple TV, the internet slows to a crawl, AirPlay stutters and stops, etc. Shut off Apple TV and we can simultaneously stream Netflix, etc. on 5 devices and the internet runs smooth. It makes no sense why Apple TV is doing this but I have tested it and 100% of the time, Apple TV is the culprit.

Getting difference between GMT time and Local time

Folks,
I am trying to get difference between gmt time and local time for Korea time zone.
which should be 9 hours.
Instead of 9, I am getting 15 hours diff.
What am I doing wrong?
Here's what I did to test it:
First I set the system (Windows XP) time zone to Soul (Korea GMT+9hours) time zone.
Then I ran the following program, and I got 15 hour diff, not 9.
Thank you in advance!

Nearly correct since the Daylight saving may or may not be in effect which does depend on the date...I would simplify that to this:
TimeZone korea = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Seoul");
long delta = korea.getOffset(new Date().getTime());
System.out.println(delta / (1000.0 * 60 * 60));That's assuming that the OP really meant UTC when he/she said "GMT". Most people don't realize there's a distinction and that Java's timezones are all based relative to UTC.I suspect you are right in assuming that the OP want UTC and not GMT. I figured it was better to illustrate that the method can be used for getting the time difference between any two TimeZones.

Iphone appointments are showing up in GMT time instead of EST

New iphone 6 plus that has 8.1 update is downloading all MS exchange appointments to GMT time when everything is entered in EST time. I deleted exchange account and reestablished it and now all imported appointments in right time slot but GMT time is listed. All exchange appointemts on PC outlook and OWA date is correct and hasn't changed just the iphone calendar times and all are in GMT not. The iphone is set to New York time zone and icloud is also Eastern time zone so is it a bug with apple. MS support says it is with Apple.

I meet the same problem with the following configuration:
Mac OS X: 10.9.5
iTunes: 11.4.18
iPhone 5s : 8.0.2.
Another workaround consists in synchronizing the device with the USB cable.
However, I don't have any problem with my iPad 1 and iOS 5.1.1.
