(SOLVED) system time refuses to change

My hwclock is correct. However, --systohc doesn't work. I also tried ntp and openntpd and they don't help any either.
Has anyone had a super-stubborn system clock?
I have tried UTC, localtime and the whole shebang. I can make the system clock change if I alter my location but I don't want to spoof my location just to fix my time. My location is set correctly but my system clock is about 14 hours in the future.

HT5639 The system time is always changing by about 7 hours

I am running windows 8 64bit pro upgrade on my mac 27inch i2.7GHz. The system time is always changing by about 7 hours, I reset it by clicking on internet time update and it is OK until the next sync or if I restart then it goes back to being out by the 7 hours. Timezone setting are correct and language setting are all pointing to the correct zone/area. I have the latest bootcamp drivers installed too. Any help to get this fixed will really help as it is making my emails very hard to follow when I have noticed the change..
Thanks

I used the "Registry Fix" method in this article to fix it in Win7/64 on my BootCamp partition. Worked perfectly.
http://prasys.info/2010/01/fixing-time-sync-issue-with-osxwindows/
The article was written before Win 8 was supported by Bootcamp but, as the Registry fix is handled entirely within Win OS, it may work with Win 8.

P100-102 System time is allways changing

Hello,
I bought my new P100-102 several days ago, when i first booted the system time wasn't correct, so I corrected it in Windows and after this i took a look in the bios and changed the time there too. But every time i restart and sometimes even without restarting, it changes the system time in windows. I am getting pretty nervous about this. The CMOS can't be empte though this laptop is absolutely new.
Anybody had the same problem? Well I did a bios update now and hope this will fix it.

Hi
It is very annoying but you should not be nervous about that. The unit is new but it is possible that this unit was few months in the box by Toshiba or even by local dealer. Described problem pointed out that CMOS battery must be full recharged. If you check user?s manual you will find there detailed description how to do this.
Bye and good luck!

[SOLVED] System time is +4hrs from hardware clock

Hello again.
Now I can't set up my system`s time properly. (Set system time from hardware clock)
Timezone is GMT+4 (Europe/Samara) and hardware clock (RTC) is set to proper time so does UTC.
But system`s time itself is 4 hours in the future from HW clock!
# hwclock --hctosys --utc
does nothing.
# timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
or
# timedatectl set-time "$mytime"
both do nothing and output following error:
Failed to issue method call: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
Also, removing /etc/adjtime does nothing!
How can I fix it?

[SOLVED] System clock refuses to adopt my timezone

(Running ArchLinux in VMWare)
I'm trying to set my system clock to Europe/Lisbon unsuccessfully. I followed these steps:
Step 1. (rc.conf)
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Lisbon"
Step 2. (localtime)
$ rm /etc/localtime
$ ln -sf /us/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Lisbon /etc/localtime
Step 3. (reboot)
Result:

marfig@archway ~ $ hwclock
Fri 06 Aug 2010 03:27:31 PM WEST -0.000409 seconds
Is there something wrong with /us/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Lisbon?

System Time error in 10g Servlet Container

I'm having System Time problem with JDeveloper 10g when running under a servlet. The System Time (date/yaer)changes outrageously and constantly.
Here's the code example:
System.out.println(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
I don't have this problem if I run it as standalone application.
Is this a bug?

How to change system time from Java

Could someone tell me if there is possibility to change the system time, from within a Java program. And how to do it.

In general, no.
You could do it using JNI if you're running your JVM
with sufficient system privileges.
It seems a highly questionable thing to want to do.
Why do you have a requirement for this?
Sylvia.Now there's an idea (thread now has a 'watch'), I think I'll drop the the idea of being a hacker and learn how to write viruses instead - happy days ahead ...

How to change system time w/o affecting iCal

When I travel to another time zone with my laptop I would like to be able to change the system time that appears in the menu bar to the local correct time. However, I do NOT want this to cause any changes in my calendar times. I use Calendar only for my home appointments so do not want those to change. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hey bobio,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to change your time on the computer but not the time on the Calendar. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
You can change the computer time and follow this to view Calendar events in your normal time.
Calendar: View all your events in a different time zone
By default, Calendar events are displayed in your computer’s current time zone (set in Date & Time preferences).
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

The impact of changing SAP system time zone.

Hello gurus,
We are in the company located in UTC+8 Time Zone. but during the system installation, the setting in SAP (tcode:STZAC) of the system time zone is CET, which is, not correct, and cause some issues: such as, when we try to send mail via SAP smtp, the sent time in the mail is always wrong.
We tried to modify it to UTC+8, but since we already go live for several months, there're lots of application data in the system. Before that we need to make sure that this change will not affect the current implementation.
Do you experts know the impact or risk of changing the system time zone after going live?
Regards,
Charlie

Lets look at this from a logic perspective, if your system is CET and you are moving to UTC+8 you are going a few hours ahead... so basically you'll find a gap in time in between the documents but you wont find any time conflict. So based on that it should be safe. You certainly need to check your jobs and make sure all necesary jobs will run so you can reschedule them if skipped by the time change (I guess).
Regards
Juan

42HL833B - How to change system time for Australia

I have a Toshiba 42HL833B that I brought back with me to Australia from the UK.
Everything works OK other than the system time still indicates UK time.
Australia does not come up as a Country option in setup so I have chosen "Other".
There does not appear to be anywhere where you can change the time.
Is it possible to change the time manually somehow?

I dont know if you have users manuals with you but you can download it from here .
Maybe you can find info how to do this.

Changing the System time in the JVM where Weblogic runs

Hi,
I am trying to change the System time where the Web-logic server (11g) runs using Mocking. I use "jmockit.jar" to mock the System.class. A Spring bean is created and through that I try to change the System time. I need to change the time for testing scenarios. For example, I need to backdate and do the testing for some scenarios. For the moment I do this manually and I want to automate this by changing only the time in the JVM where the application server runs. When I try to automate this using the Spring bean, I get an error as follows. Do anyone have any idea about this.

Hi,
I could manage to change the time in JVM where the Weblogic server runs. I loaded an Spring bean from my Test class and from that bean I set an offset (to shift the time) in the Mock class (say, MockSystem class). In this case I used the jmockit implementation for instrumentation purposes. The MockSystem class should not be instantiated by us and jmockit takes care of that part. What I had to do was defining the javaagent and another parameter ("-Djmockit-mocks=com.abc.common.service.impl.MockSystem") in the Weblogic server build XML (mentioned in the following URL[1]). But to work this the MockSystem.class file should be wrapped in a JAR file and included in Weblogic server/lib directory and define it in the Weblogic build XML file as a classpath. For more explanations visit this URL [2].

Change of system time in SAP

Hi
We wanted to change the system time in SAP and we have already posted certain documents.
Pls let me know, if we change the time.
Will there be any impact on the posted documents
Regards
Madhan D

Hi,
Changing system time would ideally can have impact on transactional documents created.
You need to ensure that there are no post dated open documents as it may clash with change in time.
Eventuall changing the time post 12 mid night would be a good option.
Hope this helps.

Change system time in RAC cluster

Hi,
We need to change the system time of two nodes involded in a RAC cluster, both the nodes are almost 15 minutes ahead of real time but are in sync with each other.
Does Oracle database require to bounce to get the latest changed time?
or does the whole cluster services needed to be stopped for 15 minutes after changing the time and then started? just in case not to confused with the transactions happened when the system was 15 minutes ahead.
The metalink note ID 368539.1 explains that PMON process does the service registration when the database was started. The PMON will not take the changed time dynamically?
We have oracle 10.2.0.2 database on HP UX 11.31
Please clear this confusion.
Thanks.

Your RAC Cluster would be using either of
a. NTP --- external to Oracle
b. Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization Service -- part of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure
It seems that you are not using NTP -- else the two nodes would have the same time as "the rest of the world".
You should see "Cluster Time Synchronization Service" in your clusterware logs.
Since you plan to reset the time backwards, I suggest that you shutdown and reset the time manually.
Remember that timestamps written to various log files and "last update" time of various files themselves, will duplicate or overlap with existing files.
Note : PMON service registration doesn't come into play here.
