System Time Zone

Hello Guys,
I m getting an error in tcode st0s "No RFC : No Data Available" in Last Minut's Load. As per SAP reply i have to set system time zone.
Anybody know how to set system time zone.
Pl give me detail steps.
Thanks,
Danniel

Danniel,
The previous response was for the server or client time zone. If you in fact need to set the SAP appliation time zone, that is in SPRO.
Transaction SPRO --> SAP Reference IMG --> SAP NetWeaver --> General Settings --> Time Zones --> Maintain System Settings
You then need to make sure the affected users have their time zones set correctly in SU01.

How to display system time zone like UTC+8

Hi All,
I got a requirement where I need to display time zone in the output. If I take sy-zonlo it is taking user's time zone and giving output like CET or CST but I want the system time zone to be displayed like UTC+8.
Regards,
Suresh.

Hi,
FM GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE gives time zone as PST or CET like that but I want output as UTC+8 or UTC-6.

How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

Friends,
Can anyone help me with below scenario..
I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
thanks

I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.

System time zone and User time zone is differenct.

Hello friends.
We use SRM 5.5 with classic scenario. (SP07)
Our system time zone is CET.
Now if we have a user different with a different time zone in the user master, for example, a UTC+9.
We can end with up with a received date in service BBPBWSP_SIMPLE that is before the created on date in the shopping cart.
A shopping cart is created at 2006.05.10 but the received date in Approval says 2006.05.09.
So approver can be confused the requested date.
Is this standard bugs or standard design?
How can we change the received date with user Time Zone?
Thank you,
Best Regards,
SH.

Hello,
As far as I know, if you do not populate the field "of the user" in SU01, system takes the pattern timezone, which is UTC, to display to the end user in web gui.
I did the following test:
- I created a RFX with a user who's timezone (in tx SU01) is set as:
Sys. Time Zone     CET
of the User        INDIA
- CET time was 20:01:55
- GMT time was 18:01:55
- India time was 23:31:55
Looking at this RFX in BBP_PD I see the following:
Same user (India timezone and CET as "Sys. Time Zone"):
Created_At: 20:01:55
Changed_at: 20:01:55
DETAILS ->
Created at: 18:01:55
Changed at: 18:01:55
RFX header (description): 23:31:55
So, if you want to populate the header document in WEB GUI with another time zone than UTC, you have to use the field "of the user", under Personal Time Zone. However, if you want to display the UTC time zone in header documents in web gui, you can leave this field empty.
Kind regards

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).

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.

UWC + time zone + system time zone

Hello,
I have messaging server 7 running on solaris 10 x86.
when I change my system time zone, the time stamp related to messages received and sent is getting changed, regardless of the time zone set in UWC (global setting).
Is it a correct behaviour or it should have considered the time zone set in the UWC?
Printable view of message in UWC, doesn't show the attachment information in that. is it a product limitation? or there is some configuration for that also.
I have tried on 3 different servers.
Thanks,
Sumant

Retrieve System Time Zone Offset?

Hi, I'm doing some GPS emulation and need to retrieve the system Time Zone Offset in (Hour and Minute). For example if Mountain time zone offset hour = -7 and Minute = 00. Is this information possible to get in Labview?
Thanks.

Hello QRP,
Yes, it can be done, but this way is not very elegant. It will get the GMT offset that your PC has as its current setting.
Use Format Date/TIme String with a format string of "%z". The output is the offset as a STRING formatted HH:MMS
Break the string apart with Scan From String to get the individual elements, or by using "%t" as the format, get the offset in seconds.
Rod.
EDIT: There shouldn't be a smiley in the time format above, It's "HH : MM : SS" but ignore the spaces!

How to display system time zone if user time zone is not set?

Hi,
My application implicitely chooses ALA as time zone if the user time zone is not set.
How do I check this?

Hi,
Try using these FM's
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
Z_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
You can set the timezone in sy-zonlo by using the 1st FM and setting sy-zonlo in your application.
I think system takes ALA default because its the 1st timezone in the table.(check FM BWDT_LIST_TIMEZONES)

Capture Time Changed by System Time Zone?

Hi All,
   In Lightroom 1.4, changing the system time in Windows XP changes the capture time!
   This seems crazy...I take photos in different time zones, and have the camera set correctly in that timezone (or adjust it to be correct in Lightroom). I'd rather not change my system timezone to "Bangkok" to correctly see data for photos from Thailand.
   Anyone have a solution or workaround? Is this fixed in LR 2?
Thanks!
   Alex

This post seems to explain a lot.
http://www.lightroomforums.net/index.php?topic=359.msg13336#msg13336
So I'm stuck having Lightroom adjust times based on the timezone of my OS? Or is there a workaround?...maybe saving and re-importing metadata? (Can't get this to work either, even using some complex procedure I found using Exiftools and a batch file...)
I can understand the capture time relying on the OS for timezone at the time of import, but Lightroom should not continuously adjust it every time you view...
Thanks,
   Alex

Default time zone not matching with system time zone

We have a windows 2008 server machine, whose time zone is (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
I have run a java class file on this mechine, but its not taking the default time zone as UTC-05:00,instead of that its taking GMT, and shows the time in GMT itself.
We are using jre1.5.0_09
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class testing {
     public static void main(String a[]) {
          System.out.println(" current Date - "+new Date());
          System.out.println(" current TimeZone - "+TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
}giving results..
current Date - Wed Aug 04 14:17:01 GMT 2010
current TimeZone - GMT
but actual time on the machine showing is Wed Aug 04 10:17:01 on UTC-05:00
Can any one help in this please...

Difference in SAP Time Zone - Time in SAP System

Hi,
I am facing a problem in the SAP system time zone settings.
In my ECC and BI systems the System Time Zone and the User Time Zone is maintained as INDIA. When I check the system status using System -> Status -> Usage Data, I find the below mentioned details.
Previous logon       10/26/2009 11:20:41
Logon                                         11:43:25
System time                                12:48:13
Time zone               INDIA           23:18:13
The problem is the time shown after the Time Zone INDIA - "23:18:13", where the time should be "12:48:13". The mentioned time in the field should be the same as the system time. At the OS level I find the date and time of the system to be correct. We are running on
date
Mon Oct 26 12:52:21 CDT 2009
I have tried re-setting the timezones to CET and restarting the machine, but still the TimeZone Time does not change.
Because of this I face issues in functional transactions where the after the 24th hour in a day, the date increments and users wrongly choose the entries in the From date field in many transactions.
Please share a solution for the same.
Thank you
Regards,
Vineeth

Vineeth,
When you use System > Status in SAP, it lists the system time zone - which in your case would be 12:48 and be CDT. This appears to be correct and it matches your OS time. The time mentioned underneath "system time" is the time zone assigned to your SAP user ID in SU01. This should not be relevant to any data, but if you wish to change it you should be able to via SU01.
You said "The problem is the time shown after the Time Zone INDIA - "23:18:13", where the time should be "12:48:13" "
Most likely "India time" is specified in your SU01 profile. This is normal to have a local time for this; and its probably not related to your issue. The system time is what is important.
Hope this helps,
Ian

System time display time in user time zone

Hi,
If the system time zone is CET and user time zone is CST. But the system status always display the systime in CST.
Does any one know if this is an error behavior, or just controled by some configuration?

How to display username in RTF BI publisher report?
I use this code and still get nothing:

Same with this. Nothing but a Java error:

How can I correct time zone information

Yesterday Europe/Moscow zone was changet from GMT+4 to GMT+3
I've managed to adjust ical4j.jar library replacing Moscow.ics by this very simple zone file

After init-config for both davserver and Convergence this jar file is deployed and I see It into
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/davserver/WEB-INF/lib/
directory.
Moreover I found modified zoneinfo file into
opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated/jsp/davserver/loader_27469283/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow.ics
I see in the Convegence Options Time Zone Europe Moscow GMT+0300
So far so good.
Bad news when I export calendar via Convergence calendar interface I see in the head of ICS file the following time zone information
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

The offset +0400 is absolutely wrong!
Since I see in convergence all events shifted by one hour back respect to lightning data.
I found a lot of information about how to add time zone alias, but have no info about correction existing time zone.
Any comments are welcome.
Thank you, Monk.
P.S.
Operating system time zone information is right.
Java time zone is updated too.

Yes I know about time zone information into VEVENT Object.
Can You provide me URL where I can download plugin you are talking about?
Plugin can be for Firefox or Chrome.
Till now I can only use export calendar button of Convergence Calendar interface.
Here you can find two event
th-17 and th-19 created by Lightning
th-17 - started 17-00
th-19 - started 19-00
According to the Convergence them start at 16-00 and 18-00 respectively.
By the way .Lightning show them correct but fire alarm one hour earlier.
15-45
17-45
Seams that Lightning took wrong time zone information from the server with +4 offset.

Problem in converting the String to Date with time zone GMT

Hi,
When I tried to convert the string 12/05/2009 to Date, the time zone is set to BST.On the other hand, for the date 12/12/2009, the time zone is set to GMT. What should I do to get the time zone as GMT all the time.?
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String dateString = "12/05/2009";
System.out.println(myDate.toString());

I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.
