Set default timezone to UTC in Flex?

Hello,
is there any way of setting the local timezone of my Flex application to UTC?
I am aware of all the UTC related functions in the Date class, so that's not what I am interested in.
Cheers!
Tom

Okay, forget it.

Set default timezone for users

Hello all,
I am looking a for a way to set the default timezone of a user on the Portal. What needs to be done is to read the user's local time on the pc and set the timezone on the Portal accordingly. Does SAP provide any solution for the same?
I am aware that this can be achieved through custom development, but would like to check if anyone has faced similar issues before and if there exists a standard solution from SAP that I can implement.
Thanks,
Sudha

Here is the problem though. Our employees are all over the globe and travel all over the globe. We use an LDAP as the UME source. Setting the default time zone via either of those method will blanket apply to all users. This leaves there UWL items in the wrong time and their KM content in the wrong time, sometimes indicating that something posted just minutes ago was actually posted "Yesterday".
I think what we need ultimately is a client aware solution. Perhaps a java program that gets the users client or browser time and updates their time zone in the UME on the fly.
Anyone know of such a solution?

Set default value to UTC DateTime?

Hi;
Is there a way to set a default value to be the current UTC date & time? And if so, how do I put that in a SQL script?
(I have given up on using the Migration Workbench and am hand writing my sql script. I looked at all the forums and this seems to be the best one for script questions.)
thanks - dave

David,
When you say set the current time to UTC, is this to replace data in the original database....
Can you explain this some more..
Thanks

Where can I change the default timezone UTC?

Hi,
I am working with the calendar and events to plan meetings.
The default for the time zone is UTC.
Have two questions:
1. Where can I change this default timezone for my login?
2. If a timezone can not be changed, is it possible to show the timezone behind the DateTime entries in the Overview > Calender view, when displaying in list form (like it is displayed in the month view)?
Thanks a lot
Volker

Volker,
The default timezone is set in bcentral.
Go to https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/bcentral.
Log in with your normal username and password
Click on the MyAccount link
Set the country and timezone as appropriate.

Default timezone from Web calendar (currently UTC)

When I create an event using the Web calendar, it seems to use UTC as the time zone. This causes a problem when I go into iCal and see that the event is several hours off compared to what I set when I created the event. I can edit the event in iCal to use my local timezone (PST), but I'm wondering if there is a way to set the default timezone when creating events using the Web calendar?
Patrick

As far as I can see from looking at the saved CalDAV data, iCal and Sunbird save timezone info for each calendar entry whereas the WebCalendar saves none.
This is fine if you are working only with the web calendar or you specify no timezone data in your external client (iCal, Sunbird, etc), but is unusable otherwise.
There are four things that need to be addressed here as I see it.
1) The iCal Server software needs to use the timezone info from the settings on the server machine to set its internal values.
2) The web calendar software needs to use (1) as a default for all new web calendar accounts.
3) The web UI needs to have a way to set a timezone value in the "Settings" page of the users and the groups.
4) The web calendar needs to read and save this timezone data with each entry to/from the CalDAV server.
Until Apple does this the system is unusable except in tightly controlled environments as more diligent users will set their timezone data in other applications such as iCal, Sunbird, or others that are coming out.
Any comments on this from Apple Tech?

Default Timezone setting.

I'm having a few problems setting the default timezone in my application. Since all of our work is going to be in the CST timezone I want to make sure that no matter where a person loads the client it will display the times as if they were in the CST timezone.
I can set TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Chicago")); and it seems to work for a while but eventually the program will switch back to the machines timezone. I'm on Windows 2000 and I have been changing the system timezone to make sure that the applet stays in CST. I also tried System.setProperty("user.timezone", "America/Chicago"); but that didn't work at all, the applet still used the machines timezone.
I do have an initialization thread where I set the TimeZone default, is the TimeZone default a per thread instance? It seems like the TimeZone switches from the default I set (CST) to the machines timezone sometime after the initialization thread is finished running.

I tried setting the default timezone in the main method like this :
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Chicago"));[\code]
Which works in that the main thread the default timezone is but when worker threads are spun off to get data
they show thier default timezone as America/Buenos_Aires. Is there a way to force a refresh of the Systems
properties cache? That seems to work across threads since I assume the default timezone pulls the same
user.timezone data but only after an unknown amount of time. For instance I ran the application once and it
didn't work at all it kept the America/Buenos_Aires timezone, but then I ran it again and it worked.

System.master_timezone vs. system.default.timezone

Hi Guys,
I have a question when it comes to TimeZones - I found that setting the system master time zone the system can normalize the time stamps to one point in time, independent of the users time zone settings; and then based on those calculate the local time for the user.
So - if you want to use normalizing; you need to set both system.default.timezone and system.master_timezone in the system properties?
Furthermore, I know how to add additional time zones, but I am not clear on how DST is handled - which format for adding a time zone do I have to follow so that DST calculations are done correctly? Does it make sense to set the Master Time Zone to UTC (when the server is located in the UK anyway)?
Thank you.
/Anita

Hi Anita,
The system.master_timezone should be set to the time zone of the DB server. The system.default.timezone is used for setting the time zone for company, supplier record, etc during creation. So for example, when a user is created under a company, the user will inherit the time zone of the company if not explicitly set on the user account.
Regarding DTC, the jvm should automatically take care of it and you donu2019t need to do anything special.
Hope this helps.

Vikram

How to set the timezone in a DATE datetype?

How to set the timezone in a DATE datetype?
Thanks
Maximus

10.5 Date, Time, and Timestamp
The JDBC API follows the Java platform's approach of representing dates and times as a millisecond value relative to January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. Since most databases don't support the notion of a time zone, the JDBC 2.0 API adds new methods to allow a JDBC driver to get/set Date, Time, and Timestamp values for a particular time zone using a Calendar. For example,
ResultSet rs;
Date date1 = rs.getDate(1);
returns a Date object that wraps a millisecond value which denotes a particular date, like January 3, 1999, and a normalized time 00:00:00 in the default time zone. The time component of the Date is set to zero in the default time zone since SQL DATE values don't have a time component. Since a Calendar was not supplied explicitly to getDate() , the default time zone (really the default Calendar) is used by the JDBC driver internally to create the appropriate millisecond value assuming that the underlying database doesn't store time zone information.
The following example retrieves a date value in GMT-Greenwich Mean Time.
ResultSet rs;
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date2 = rs.getDate(1, cal);
In the example above, a Calendar is passed explicitly to getDate() to inform the JDBC driver how to calculate the appropriate millisecond value. Note that the same result could have been achieved by simply changing the default time zone, and not passing the Calendar explicitly since the JDBC driver will use the default time zone by default.
Note that the two Date objects created above will not compare as equal assuming that the default time zone is not GMT, even if they represent the `same' date.
if (date1.equals(date2))
//never get here
This is because each Java language Date object really just wraps a normalized millisecond time value and these millisecond values will differ across time zones. If an application wishes to compare dates in different time zones it should first convert them to a Calendar.
An application should create a Date object using a Calendar. The application is responsible for specifying the time as 00:00:00 on the desired date when using the Calendar since JDBC uses this convention. In addition when creating a Time value the application must specify a date of January 1, 1970 to the Calendar used to create the millisecond value for the Time as this is the convention specified by JDBC for time.

How does one define a default style for a custom Flex component?

How does one define a default style for a custom Flex component?
hello
I created a new set of Flex component library slib.swc (Flex 4.5). Would also like to have a default style. defaults.css file, making it the default style of the component library.
Like flex the builder install directory of sdks \ 4.5.0 \ frameworks out \ libs directory has a spark.swc file, open with Winrar will see defaults.css this file. Defaults.css file defines the default style of the flex spark components.
How can it be achieved?
As follows
slib.swc contains a CLabelEx components, and a defaults.css file
defaults.css source file as follows:
@ namespace s "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / spark";
@ namespace mx "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / mx";
@ namespace cn "http://os.slib.cn";
cn | CLabelEx
        styBackgroundAlpha: 1;
        styBackgroundColor: # 569CC0;
        styBorderAlpha: 1;
        styBorderColor: # 569CC0;
        styBorderWeight: 1;
        styCornerRadius: 3;
In slib.swc the application MyLabel.mxml of the source file as follows:
<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<s: Application, the xmlns: fx = "http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
                           xmlns: s = "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / spark"
                           xmlns: mx = "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / mx"
                           xmlns: cn = "http://os.slib.cn
                           the minWidth = "955" The minHeight = "600">
        <fxeclarations>
        </ fxeclarations>
        <cn:CLabelEx x="67" y="112"/>
</ s: Application>
I hope CLabelEx default use cn | CLabelEx, style to display its appearance.
I refer to above approach, but failed to achieve. Can you please re-Detailed
Thanks!

dj is right. Any Folder can be a picture folder.
Create a root level folder and add it to your Pictures Library in Windows. It will show up with all the scattered pictures from other programs. It can even be a different dirve if you like. You can even specify one to be the default save location for pictures in this dialog.
Navigate to Pictures in your Libraries in Windows Explorer Right Click and select Properties.

Default timezone is wrong!

On one computer in our development shop, java's notion of time is one hour behind. It seems that Java gets the wrong default timezone for that machine, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
All machines are running java 1.4.2_03 on WinXP SP1 with all latest updates as of 5/25/04. In the Windows Date/Time control panel on all machines, timezone is set to "(GMT-0:800) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana" and the "Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time" box is checked. It is May May 26, so daylight savings time is in effect. The Windows clock in the lower right corner reads the same time on all machines.
Running the code:
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println("the default timezone is " + tz.getDisplayName(true, TimeZone.LONG));
System.out.println("the default timezone ID is " + tz.getID());
System.out.println("useDaylightTime = " + tz.useDaylightTime());On the "bad" machine produces:
the default timezone is GMT-08:00
the default timezone ID is GMT-08:00
useDaylightTime = falseAll other machines produce
the default timezone is Pacific Daylight Time
the default timezone ID is America/Los_Angeles
useDaylightTime = trueWhy is the timezone on the "bad" machine "GMT-08:00" instead of "America/LosAngeles"?
(I've also verified that the default Locale on all machines is the same).
Any help would be appreciated.

Tried setting timezone to Tokyo (which does not observer daylight savings time), then back to Pacific. Problem still present. Tried setting to Mountian time zine (which does observer daylight saving) and back - problem still present.
One interesting thing: on the "bad" machine, java always shows the timezone in the generic GMT +/- offset format. On a good machine, java is able to translate into the "America/Los_Angeles" format. Just to check, I explicly set the timezone on the bad machine (with TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles")); and then the bad machine does display the correct time and timezone.
So, somehow it is not able to use what it gets back from Windows to correctly look up the "America/Los_Angeles" style timezone, so it falls back to the GMT+-offset format.
I verified that the java installations are identical on all machines (I zipped up the one on the bad machine, and did a file-by-file byte compare to one on a good machine).

Setting intital data in Workspace embedded Flex Application

I created 2 processes, one has an embedded Flex application in it. My first process has an output of type XML that is passed to the 2nd process using events. I have attached an Event Message Template to the Event so i can drill down into the data schema. I am able to receive and see the XML data in the receiving process. My Flex application is set to data type Form and has its own schema associated. What I am trying to do using the SetValue service is set some of the values in the Flex schema to the values of the XML data received from the first process.
My Flex application has an "initialDataHandler" function that receives a DataEvent event from LC Workspace. Using the SetValue service and drilling down into the schema doesn't seem to set the DataEvent event data of the Flex App.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to set the initial data of the Flex App so the data will be pre-populated when a user opens up the application?
Thanks,

Mike,
I double checked with engineering and this cannot be done. I though that creating a custom render service would work, but it wont since it has to return a document variable and we can only change the data of a swf when its in a Form variable. And there is no way to go from Form to document variable because one contains the content and the other one is only a pointer.
You can define default data on the variable settings under Default Data, but this data is essentially hard coded, which is not ideal.
Youre only option at this point is to populate from the formInitData event in the swf form which can call a database or a web service.
Engineering will make that Default Data a variable in a next release of the product which should get you across this problem but nothing to help us now.
Sorry for the confusion.

Default timezone of wiki calendar

Default TimeZone used by convertDateTime

After reading the existing posts on this topic I'm still not clear:
The ConvertDateTime tag in JSF 1.2 ignores the default timezone setting on the JVM that the server is running on, always using GMT, correct?
Is there a way to configure the default timezone for JSF without resorting to setting the timezone attribute in every ConvertDateTime tag?

Good question! I like to get an answere on this too.
I was forced to use this in my f:convertDateTime tag.
<h:outputText value="#{result.dateInit}" >
<f:convertDateTime type="both" locale="#{userInfoBean.locale}" timeStyle="short" dateStyle="short" timeZone="CET"/>
</h:outputText>Where timeZone="CET" finaly made my day.
