System time was set externally in the past.

Hi Gurus,
In our production system,several warning messages have come up System time was set externally in the past. Wait 1 second(s).
But when i checked the system time it showing the same as OS's.
Could you please throw some information around this and how these warnings can be avoided?
Thanks

Hi Sabyasachi,
What's your OS Version?
Is your SAP application hosted on Windows Server.
Please check-out SAP Note-447839.
Also to brief you about this common issue where in sometimes the OS time is reset back in the past and the SAP application observes this an warning and in severe situations as an ABAP dump.
On windows server, if the automatic synchronization of timezone is enabled it synchronizes to a master time server. Actually this should be fine, but in case of Windows server, what happens is that every time the synchronization happens from a master time server, the SAP server gets a hard reset i.e. Sudden decrease of time at the time of synchronization like from 11:45 AM to 10:45 AM. This kind of behavior affects the applications running on the server. This should have been soft reset i.e. 11:45 AM time should go back in time in fractions over the entire week (Soft Reset) until it is synced in real time. SAP applications running on windows server implemented with Hard reset of Time are absolutely not supported and in that case the hard reset must be refrained at all costs. Refer SAP Note 447839 for further details.
To narrow down the root cause of OS time shifts you can run a watchdog tool SAP time trace tool which logs the OS time every 5secs, so the next time whenever this occurs in the system it can be investigated what happened to the OS time at that instance.
If the described case matches with your scenario, you can disable the Automatic time synchronization feature on the windows server.

Akshay

    Time zone can be changed at SAP level and this reflects at database level.

  • Satellite server time was set in the future

    According to status in ZCM, workstation time was set in the future (Last Full Refresh: 2/13/11).
    The time is now correct.
    Workstation in question is also a satellite server.
    "Last Full Refresh" is stuck at some point in time on all workstations "closest" to server, new content (bundle) wasn't delivered since.
    What is the best course of action?
    How can one get rid of the wrong time stamps ?

  • Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

    I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working.  I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it.  When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan.  However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan.  I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone.  Same thing happened.  Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

    Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

  • 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.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
    iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
    For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
    Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
    Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.

    Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer.  The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...

  • I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

    I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

    With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?

    How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?  When an employee leaves a business and the company has purchased the equipment, the company should have the rights to reissue the equipment and Apple should provide an alternative to unlock the equipment from the employee's personal APPLE account and password so the company (that purchased the equipment) can reissue the line and equipment to another employee.

    If you can prove ownership to Apple, they may be able to help you.
    The best way of handing things would be strong policies requiring that the equipment be turned in in a usable state. i.e. not activation locked. Failing this, the employee should be charged the cost of the replacement phone. Held from their final paycheck if required.

    I am using os x 10.4.11 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo.  I don't believe I can install lion on this system but was wondering what is the highest version I can use?

    Here are the requirements for Lion:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    In order to install Lion you have to have Snow Leopard and then update to 10.6.8:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Personally I suggest that you stop at Snow Leopard.  It still is the most efficient OS that Apple has devised and it still works great.  Go to the Lions only if there are feature that you really need.  There may be a price to pay in slower performance though.
    Ciao.
