System data change....

Hi all,
when I log in my XI server says "License expiration data:01-11-2008(in 9 days)
I know that I have to change the system date, but I need to know procedure
to be followed before changing system date.
Pl. help me out.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Hello Pankaj,
This means that you need to apply for license and not change system date.Please apply for license.
Of course changing system date will make this problem not re occur but then such system will not be supported by SAP.

Deciphering Cron log to try to determin system date change issue

Solaris 9 box, Sparc Sun V1280.
We had two events the past day or so where the system time of a server changed 3 hours forward and then changed back 3 hours later that day. We manually corrected the time after the first shift was noticed around 4pm.
Each time the time shifts took place, there were no logged in users and no root users at all during the shift. So, the assumption is that a script with root access did it.
However, I have yet to find any scripts that would do that yet.
The one place that I can see when the time changed is in the cron log.
It is a bit confusing looking at the log because I'm not exactly sure what I am seeing.
You can see when a command takes place with the CMD: entry, but what follows is not clear if it actually belongs to that command or is possibly from an entry above that was still running... It doesn't help that several of the entries take place at the same times, typically 00, 15,30 and 45 minutes after the hour.
I've changed that now, but only have the logs of when it happened to investigate with.
Of course, all parties involved say that they changed nothing that would cause this :-)
Below is a number of entries surrounding the inital time shift where the servers time moved forward 3 hours...
. > CMD: /usr/lib/sa/sa1
. > sys 20943 c Tue Oct 27 11:00:00 2009
. > CMD: /app/oraprod/admin/dba/scripts/check_concurrent_mgr.sh

. < oraprod 29748 c Tue Oct 27 11:15:01 2009
. < root 29749 c Tue Oct 27 *11:15:14* 2009
Note the time shift after this point...
. > CMD: /app/oraprod/admin/dba/scripts/check_workflow_mailer.sh
. > oraprod 3809 c Tue Oct 27 *15:06:32* 2009
. < oraprod 3809 c Tue Oct 27 15:06:32 2009 rc=1
. > CMD: /usr/local/system/TOSCO/system-monitoring/filesysck.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
. > root 4491 c Tue Oct 27 15:15:00 2009
. > CMD: /usr/lib/sa/sa1
. > sys 4492 c Tue Oct 27 15:15:00 2009
So, I'm trying to see if it is possible to know which (if any) entries might be the cause of the time shift. The entries appear to be mixed between the commands (CMD: lines) making it hard to know which actually belongs to which command.
I have actually looked at every script or function listed and don't see anything in them to cause this however.
This is a Solaris 9 box, Sparc Sun V1280.
It has been basically static for years and has 2 related servers that have not been effected. There are also three 3 identical servers used in test that are also uneffected. Each has ntpd which keeps them in sync except of course when the one box leaps ahead 3 hours or back 3 hours.
The time shifts happened both on the same day, once around 11:15am and again about 5:15pm
Server was rebooted the next day and has not done this since.

Did the time shift back on it own after 3 hours, or did you correct the time after you noticed the shift.

It is also possible that this is a hardware error. The clock on the motherboard can fail in ways that drive the clock to different points in time. It also gives you a way to test.
If you can afford the trouble it would cause, can you change the time to just before the first shift and see if it shifts on its own?

It doesn't help that several of the entries take place at the same times, typically 00, 15,30 and 45 minutes after the hour.Each job launch starts with two lines (that are very difficult to display on this forum, even in tags)
{code}> CMD: /this/is/the/job{code}
{code}> <user> <PID> c <start time>{code}
There will be a matching line with a less-than sign and the same PID to mark when the job completes.
If it is the hardware clock, my experience tells me that this will get worse until the motherboard fails completely. Hopefully this is a script and you can find it.
If nothing else, you might consider writing a stupid job monitor. Just something in perl that will sleep 1 second, then check the time. If it notices a large jump in time, it can do a quick 'ps' and write down the time and what's running.

Change the system date

Hi guys,
I have an infoObject with attribute navigation fields date_to, date_from.
This infoObject has a master data table time dependence with these fields
Operacion, Date_to, Date_from.
when I load the information in an chain process the result is
operacion = 0045, date_to = 20.02.2007, date_from = 01.01.1000
operacion = 0045, date_to = 31.12.9999, date_from = 21.02.2007.
Dates 20.02.2007, 21.02.2007 are OK because they are got by a R3 table, but 01.01.1000 and 31.12.9999 are system dates. Anybody can tell me where I can change these dates (system date) ? It could be in spro transaction but it has a lot of options.
Can anybody help me, please ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards.
Ana

Change system date??

Hi,
I just wonder if we can refresh the B1 after we change the system date in the OS without restarting the B1 application itself.. because restarting the B1 take quite a time for my laptop...
Actually there was once i tried to lock screen the application, when i logged in back, the date was refreshed, but i can't do that anymore and i don't know why that day i could.
Thanks,
Martin

Martin,
The SAP client at the time of login takes the system date and I don't think there is any way to refresh without loging out and loging back in

Changing system date in Paravirtualized Oracle VM

Hi ,
I need 3 guest on 1 oracle VM server. Each of them has own different system date. For example while first one is working on 2041 , second one works on 2001 and last one works on 2014.
I have set "xen.independent_wallclock = 1" in "/etc/sysctl.cfg" in each Guest and I am able to change system date as independently from host system. Until here , everything is ok.
But when I restart the Guest system , the system date is resetting to host system's system date .
Please could you give your ideas how to solve this problem .
Rgds.
Leo-

Hi, for paravirtualized guests do like this:
As user root
vi /etc/sysctl.confsearch "independent_wallclock" and set it "=0" (NOT "=1")
Save and exit
Set the correct Time Zone creating an appropriate symbolic link, for example:
ln -sf ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtimeThen:
vi /etc/sysconfig/clockSet it as you like, but following this schema:
ZONE="Europe/Rome"
UTC=false
ARC=false("ZONE" refers to the Time Zone, "UTC=false" indicates that LOCAL TIME will be used)
Finally, deactivate the ntpd service on your VM guest, as with the above settings system time will be bound to the Hardware Clock on Dom0, therefore we don't need ntpd:
chkconfig --del ntpd
service ntpd stopTry a reboot and check all is ok.
All this, I repeat, is true for Paravirtualized guests only. Fully Virtualized guests do need ntpd service for system tyme sync.

Can we change the system date using Sql

can we change the system date using Sql statement..
can anyone help
Tariq.

There is an initialization parameter called FIXED_DATE which lets you set a fixed sysdate for testing purposes, and you can alter that date using the ALTER SYSTEM command, but as implied by the name you are setting a data/time that doesn't change. Since the normal sysdate is derived from the O/S it cannot be altered through SQL

Can we change system date from sql prompt

hi everyone
can someone tell if we can change the system date from the sql
prompt??
Tariq.

I don't think that the date/time last modified is accessible. You could use the SummaryInfo of the report to maintain this information yourself. This is part of the RAS SDK. There is a comments section available that you could use for this.

N82 Self change the system date!!!

Hi to all....let's get to the problem at once....
my Nokia N82 was working flawlessly with the v30 firmware BUT when I upgraded to v31 it started to change the system date!!!!! I've search for a parameter in the menus but .... no such parameter...) it adds 2 days in the system date in many occasions.... I thing this is a mega-bug.... please tell me if anyone else have this problem.

I'm having the same issue, after upgrading firmware to v31.0.016 the system date "jumps" two days forward every morning if I set a workday-alarm and then switch off the phone. After the alarm rings I turn on the phone and it shows the correct date, but a few minutes later it jumps 2 days forward.
Because of this bug all of the services connected with system date (agenda, calendar, alarm, memo, reminder, calls register, ...) don't work correctly and are almost unuseful unless you manually correct the system date every morning.
I'm not going to leave the phone on (not even in offline mode) all night long as a workaround, because I paid lots of money for a working smartphone, and it's not working correctly now.
I reported the issue to Nokia, I'll let you know if they will suggest any solution.

Changing system date in a HVM DomN

Hi ,
the changed sytem date in a HVM DomN does not stay persistent after restarting virtual machine.
same problem is also exist in PVM DomN in a different mannger which I had already opened a different thred for it.

4. restart HVM DomN
5. login into HVM DomN
6. set system date to 07/07/2030

7. check if ntpd disabled
*[root@bcvlnx12 ~]# chkconfig --list ntpd*
ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
8. restart DomN as root
*[root@bcvlnx12 ~]# shutdown -r -t 0 now*
Broadcast message from root (pts/1) (Sun Jul 7 00:05:20 2030):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
9. login again as root after restart
Last login: Wed Apr 21 11:10:01 2010 from pcmuc014.bc.int
*[root@bcvlnx12 ~]# date*

*[root@bcvlnx12 ~]#*
10. system date is persist
11. Login into Oracle VM manager web interface and power off Dom N
12. Login into Oracle VM manager web interface and power ON Dom N
13. login into DomN
Last login: Mon Jul 8 02:06:29 2030 from pcmuc014.bc.int
*[root@bcvlnx12 ~]# date*
Wed Apr 21 11:30:04 CEST 2010
so , system date which has been ser by root user in step 6 is lost and become same as with Dom0
Any idea ? any fix ?

Consequences of changing system date

for some reason i need to change the system date on production server (sms server with a database)
only the year should decrease by two (minus 2 years)
before changing the date i want to get some advice from the community
what problems could happen after that, what steps should i follow before doing that, etc
the things that i've already taken care of are CRON and AT jobs
i think there could be problems with file access/modification dates and anything that relies on them
can it be solved by just updating access/modification dates of all files accordingly?
please give advice
thanks in advance

i'd wonder what happens if your server sends 2 year old SMS to the SMSC and receives SMS dating 2 years in the future :>
consider buying a new license
that kind of problems wont happen since new outgoing messages are selected using different/additional criteria
moreover it's not only about this particular case
it's a real problem, i would be interested to get some (new) advices even i decide to buy new license

Crystal Reports XI String [255] limit with the File System Data driver...

I was trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report to return security permissions of files and folders. I have been able to successfully connect and return data using the File System Data driver as the Data Source; however the String limit on the ACL NT Security Field is 255 characters. The full string of data to be returned can be much longer than the 255 limit and I cannot find how to manipulate that parameter.
I am currently on Crystals XI and Crystal XI R2 and have applied the latest service packs but still see the issue. My Crystal Reports Database DLL for File System data ( crdb_FileSystem.dll ) is at Product Version 11.5.10.1263.
Is it possible to change string limits when using the File System Data driver as the Data Source? If so, how can that be accomplished. If not, is there another method to retrieve information with the Windows File System Data being the Data Source? Meaning, could I reach my end game objective of reporting on the Windows ACL's with Crystal through another method?

Hello,
This is a known issue. Early versions you could not create folder structures longer than 255 characters. With the updates to the various OS's this is now possible but CR did not allocate the same space required.
It's been tracked as an enhancement - ADAPT01174519 but set for a future release.
There are likely other ways of getting the info and then putting it into an Excel file format and using that as the data source.
I did a Google search and found this option: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/16772-45-display-explorer-folders-tree-structure-export-excel
There are tools out there to do this kind of thing....
Thank you
Don

How can I recover from a Botched BATCH DATE CHANGE in iPhoto?

Botched Batch Date Change iPhoto08
Short Story: Intending to change the date for one photo I managed to change the dates for all 8,525 images in my iPhoto08 library to the SAME DATE!! I found that the original creation dates were saved in the in the Modified field that appears in the Photo Info Window / File metadata subsection. I would like some help figuring out how to set the Date Created to this File Modified Date that appears in the Photo Info Window.
GORY DETAILS:
I used iPhoto08/ Photos menu / BATCH CHANGE... /“Set DATE to 20100723 1:20:54 PM” with “Modify original files” checked. iPhoto changed all 8,525 images to the same date.
I now realize I should have used Photos menu / Adjust Date and Time ... But the damage was already done. Unfortunately there was no Edit menu / Undo for this operation. ALL 8,525 images have the same date. I checked in the the iPhoto Information sidebar--same date all images.
Next, as a test, I dragged an image to the desktop and opened it in Graphic Converter7.0.3. The same date “20100723 1:20:54 PM” appeared in the Image Browser List /”Date Created”, “Date Modified”, “Date Captured” metadata fields.
The following appeared in the Graphic Converter
Image Preview sidebar (subWindow) going left to right
Image menu/button

Exif menu/button

<<<<<<OH MY GOD >>>>>> the BATCH CHANGE / SET DATE not only RESET the date for EVERY IMAGE in my library, it also changed the date metadata EVERYWHERE inside each individual image file.
Actually it's my Mom and Dad's iPhoto library containing all the kids and grand kids pictures, family trips, important events, everything. There is no backup. I feel as if I have tipped over a file cabinet containing all our photos. Our “date and event” organized 8,525 image iPhoto library was now as useful as a giant shoebox. On second thought, a shoe box full of real photo prints would be more useful than my iPhoto library because the prints would have the print date stamped on them.
At this point feeling desperate I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer to Saint Rita - Patron Saint of the Impossible.
I returned to iPhoto .................and noticed the Show Photo Info MENU item in the Photo Menu.
I selected it.
And Low and behold,
in the Photo Info WINDOW,
under the Meta data File SUBSECTION, the correct photo creation date appeared -->" Modified: 20071002 05:46:07 PM" I checked different photos ... They all had different FILE MODIFIED dates. These dates were/are the old creation dates! My prayers were answered: THANK YOU SAINT RITA!
But now I am really stumped! This File Modified Date seems to be some kind of external metadata that is indexed or keyed to each image. How is this metadata stored in the iPhoto library? How can I access this File Modified date? I now turn to you GREAT iPhoto WIZARDS. Pray tell, how can I set the “Creation Date to the file Modified Date” that appears in the Photo Info Window as a (scriptable?) batch process.
I am on my knees for this one...please help. we have iphoto11 but afraid to upgrade to it. until i know more i don't want to loose this Modified Date metadata.

thanks for the quick response...
no simple solution because no backup to restore from
iPhoto seems to be using file metadata as some sort of index key in the
Photo Info Window. open up the iphoto library package and take a look at
the .xml file -- ModDate is used everywhere. hoping to export this data and merge/join it to
each image.
still trying to figure it out.
thanks,
Tom
