Set a time field to a default time zone

Hi there, I would like to set a time field to attain the time zone from the default machine, so that no matter where in the world the PDF may be, it will send the xml to the server with the appropriate time relevant to the specific time zone. Eg: I am in Australia and i need to send a time back. The time must be sent as Australian time. Thanks Joey

Not quite sure what you're asking, but it sounds as though it's something you'd easily do using a BEFORE INSERT trigger on your table.

How to set a time zone in Agentry.ini

Hi All,
I am working on Syclo - MRS integration. We assign a service order in MRS which is in (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh .
When the Syclo client downloads the service order it is in a different time zone and it displays the time according to their time zone.
Which creates a mismatch in the assignments.
I have modified the time zone in Agentry.ini to pick the time (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh. but this is not working.
Can you please check the Agentry.ini or suggest how to set this.

Hi Neha,
The [TimeZoneAlias] section should have all the mobile device time zone in it. The spelling has to be exactly what is seen on the mobile device. The Mobile Device timezone transmits to the Agentry Server , it maps based on what the server understands, then transmit back to the Backend.
Eg:
[TimeZoneAlias]
Australian Eastern Standard Time=(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
India Standard Time = (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi"
Note: Agentry server while adjusting the timezone gets the list of timezones from Windows registry. It was found that some of the timezone settings may not be recognized by the Windows OS in the server. Please verify the same.
Modify your Agentry.ini to include the exact spelling of your mobile device time zone alias plus the corresponding equivalent as understood by the Agentry Server. I am also attaching the official KBA note tied to Time Zone Alias.

Synchronize system time and set system time zone in SAP

Hi,
How to Synchronize system time and set system time zone in any SAP system?

Nabarun -
Setting of the system time may be different depending on your enviroment and systems. (Windows, AIX, etc)
Windows enviroment you can use a time server or net time command, I believe its simialr with UNIX but I do not know that command.
Setting the time zone in SAP is done through the IMG in client 000. You can get there with transaction SPRO.
Once in the IMG, navigate to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain Time Zones (here you can define the time zone settings/rules)
Then go to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain System Settings
There you can change the time zones for the system.
Hope this helps.

Set up time zone in ipad calendar

Hi,
is there any possibility to set up time zone for some event? In Mail.app on Mac OS X I create the event and set what time zone is this in and the event change the time according to my time zone. Is this possible also in iPad somehow.
For example: I live in Czech Republic UTC+2 (summer time) and I want to add the WWDC event into my calendar, which is at 10 a.m. pacific time. Is this possible on iPad or I have to count the correct time?
Thanks

mm, that doesn't sound so comfortable. I'll stay with the time counting.
Thanks for reply;)

How to set DST/time zone consistently?

I'm using several laptops and a desktop Mac (10.6 all) with Outlook 2011 to access a calendar on an Exchange 2010 server (SP1 I think). I see the following weird behavior. For some (not all) yearly calendar entries, like birthdays, which are set to be "whole day" (which then has the time grayed out as 12am), every once in a while they get automatically changed to last 2 days, and the grayed out times say "8pm to 8pm". I change it back (hit "edit series", and the dates are still grayed out, so I have to change Recurrence to "once only", change the date back to be just the 1 day, and then set it to repeat yearly, and click "all day event" off and back on for the 8pm to change to 12am), but some time later I look and it's back to lasting 2 days! Apparently this has to do with time zone and DST info being different on various clients. I posted on the Microsoft forum and was pointed to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1638
So now I'm trying to set consistent Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone on my laptop, desktops, iPhone, and iPad. I think I'm missing something because it's still happening.
On my iPhone, in the Date&Time preferences, it says time zone is "New York"; in Calendar preferences, it says Time Zone Support is set to Boston. In Outlook, it says "UTC-05:00 Eastern Time US & Canada". Is this all correct? Where, on all these devices, do I set the time zone and DST so that it's all consistent?

How do I set a time zone not in the standard list?

I would like to set my time zone to Lord Howe Standard TIme(LHST), which is GMT +10:30hrs. How do I do that? How do I check that the standard time servers know when to change for daylight saving time?
Regards, Rob

ozRob wrote:
1. I have to log out and back in for the change to take effect in system preferences and the clock
I did warn you about this ("This change will not show up in the Menu Bar clock until you have logged out and back in"), although when I did it the change was reflected in System Preferences immediately. To reset the clock without logging out,
killall SystemUIServer
You can do this while you are still root, i.e. before the exit statement, or after it.
2. Lord Howe is the only place listed in the "closest city" list
Well, that's because it isn't in the Preference Pane's list of places so it cannot compute distances.
3. If I click anywhere on the world map, the time zone changes to whatever I clicked on and I have to follow your instructions, then log out and in again, to get back to Lord Howe time
The obvious answer is don't click on the map!
I can't understand why Apple hide this stuff. I think there should be a way to manually set the time zone offset as well as daylight saving start and end dates - we aren't all idiots. At the very least they should make all the time zones in the zoneinfo directory available, perhaps under a checkbox marked "rare zones" or similar.
Well, I suggest you send Apple Feedback about this.
Thank you all for your efforts, if anyone can solve the issues above I'd be very grateful.
Actually the changes to add Lord Howe are relatively trivial, if you know what you are doing. One complication is that "Lord Howe" would have to be added as a localizable string: don't know what might happen if it were missing. I'll play around some more, but don't hold your breath!

The time on my firefox browser is not correct. How do I set the time zone for Firefox? It is not the same as my mac computer setting?

I am using a hotmail acount with bigpond. The time that it says I sent an email is out by 11 hours... can you please tell me how to set my firefox browser to be at the right time? My mac is set at the right time zone...

I was able to do what you suggested, and the time listed in the code field was correct. However, when I sent a test email to myself on the bigpond site, it said it was received at 8:04am when it was actually 18:04. So there is an error of more than half a day. I have a snapshot of the screen if that is helpful. I asked Bigpond about this and they said it was a Firefox problem... Please advise.

Set Windows Time Zone

I am trying to write a VI that will set the system time zone (in Windows). The user needs to be given the option to pick which time zone they are in. Then whatever changes are needed, must be written back out to Windows.
I want Windows to handle all the offsets and setting the local time. I just want to provide a way that the user can view a list of all the different time zones and pick one to set the local time by.
I have tried a couple different ways:
1. Calling the GetTimeZoneInformation in the kernel32.dll through the Call Library Function vi. However, I am not sure what input to give the node. I found documentation on:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724944.aspx
The issue arises when I attempt to create a cluster to match a TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms725481.aspx
I am having a very hard time figured out what data type WCHAR would be in my LabVIEW cluster.
2. Modifying the registry values at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
The problem arises that even if I set the StandardName and DaylightName, the time zone settings have not changed when I go to check them in the system clock and the local time has not been altered to reflect any time zone change. All the possible time zones are located at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
I have been able to determine that the data in the TZI subkey is structured as:
long Bias;
long StandardBias;
long DaylightBias;
SYSTEMTIME StandardDate;
SYSTEMTIME DaylightDate;
SYSTEMTIME is another structure that is made up of eight words:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724950.aspx
The information contained in the TZI tag can entered into the subkeys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation but I cannot figure out how to get the information in hex from that TZI tag into LabVIEW, divide it up and feed it back out.
If there is some other (hopefull easier) way to do this or if you can help me with either of the two ways I have already tried, I would greatly appreciate it. Please note that I cannot use any other tools that are not built-in to windows. So G-tools is out of the question.
Kyle

That is a very good point.
The user needs to be given the option to pick which time zone they are in.
They already have that option. You double click the clock at the bottom of the screen and go into the Time Zone tab.
Why try to work around that just for the sake of your application?
I understand the need to try to make things easier for the users, but there is some point at which you should say no.
As for the actual question, I believe that WChar is a Unicode string (2 bytes for each character), so you need to allocation 2n bytes (an array of U8) and have the first byte of each pair be 0. There is a VI called by the registery VIs which does this conversion for you (it's called STR_ASCII-Unicode.vi).
In any case, if you must do this from your application, I suggest you simply call the date/time dialog.
One way would be to run the System Exec VI with "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl" as the input, but there are probably other ways.
Try to take over the world!

Setting a date field to a default value if it's left blank by the user?

I want to set a date field by default to 31/12/2499 if the user doesn't input anything. I want to do this in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger .
How should my code be like please ? Is it something similar to this :
IF :HS_HEADS.DT_TO IS NULL THEN
     HS_HEADS.DT_TO =:'31/12/2009';
ELSIF
     ALERTS.STOP_ALERT('Date must be greater than or equal to system date', choice);
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END-IF;
Thanks.

Isn't it too late to set default value in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM? It will not fire if user doesn't input anything
I would set properties of HS_HEADS.DT_TO as following:
Data Type = Date
Initial Value = 31/12/2009
Format Mask = DD/MM/YYYY
And in WHEN-VALIDATE_ITEM just validate that date is not less then SYSDATE
IF :HS_HEADS.DT_TO < trunc(SYSDATE) THEN
-- alert
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;BTW, why do you default to hard-coded 31/12/2009? Is your application only good until end of the year?

How to set the Time Zone for BPM 10 g participant.

Hi All,
One BPM 10g(version 10.3.2) application runs on windows server. There are some participants assigned to some role. How to view and adjust the time zone of any existing participant.
Please advise. It's urgent.
Thanks,
Anupam

It's been a long time, but if I remember correctly - in 10g a participant sets this by logging into the Workspace and clicking "Settings". Believe the time zone is something that the individual end user can select there.

IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
Any ideas what’s going on?

Hi Song&DanceMan,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

Indian Time Zone missing from UCM User Time Zone Field

Hi,
I am using UCM version 11.1.1.3.0.
The Indian time zone option is missing from the User Time Zone Drop down in the weblogic section.
When I set User Time Zone value to (GMT+5:30)Colombo- Sri Lanka Time (LKT) which is same as Indian time zone, the time reflected in UCM is --> System time + 30 minutes
When I set User Time Zone value to (GMT+5:00)Karachi Pakistan Time- (PKT) which lags 30 minutes from the Indian time zone, the time reflected in UCM is --> System time - 30 minutes
How can I get the Indian time in User Time Zone Field (as it is present in other versions of UCM)?

Hi ,
Download Patch 13503004: UCM 11.1.1.3.0 patch (20120103_1059) from MyOracleSupport portal and upgrade the server .
After that restart it to see if that the IST TZ will be shown .
Thanks

Thanks for replying Johnny!
What you are referring to is adding a city. I need to know how to set the time zone in settings -> Date & Time -> Timezone. Unless & untill this is set properly the iPod will never show me the right time. Please help me with it.
I will definately use your advice on the second query.
