Time zone Inbox (user vs. server)

We created the users and defined your specific time zone (su01), when the user login to the portal and created documents the time displayed its correct (zone depending), nevertheless when the same user access to the portal inbox, the filter is by server time zone, how can i define the inbox filter by time zone of the login user???

Hi Egor,
> I know, http-browser transmits time zone information
> in http-request
IE? If I call www.google.com, I cannot see the TZ anywhere, checked by HTTPWatch. There is also no corresponding setting within IE. You could only map prefered languages to locales, but that doesn't work really proper, for they work over different time zones.
Also see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock - no automatic detection.
Also see http://www.javaworld.com/javaforums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Enterprisejava&Number=12640&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=9&o=&fpart=1
So I would suggest to use the user's time zone, and if not set, to use the server's time. It's the fault of the user admins if the time zone is not set!
> Both functions don't return time zone information
Right. And as said, mapping the locale to a time zone is a (bad) workaround, nothing I would advise.
Hope it helps

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)

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
Ricardo

Document date for time zone of user

We have modeled the date of documents 0CREATEDON (document header and item details) to time dimensions of InfoCubes. The 0CREATEDON date reflects the system date i.e. CST. The report user wants sales document based reporting to reflect his/her time zone date.
We have added an additional field to the sales document header extractor that records time zone date of where document was created. This does not exist for document details extractor.
Has anyone come up against this problem? How have you modeled the data to provide such a reporting capability? Is there date conversion routines for reporting that would convert time zone dates?

With ABAP you can use the function "CONVERT TIME ZONE". If you type this in a test-program with se38 and then press F1 while the cursos is on the wordt CONVERT you will get all necessary explanation.
Note: I think that the timezone of the user is available in one of the sy-fields. The daylight savings indicator is available as a sy-field for sure.

Standby server time zone - sync-up with primary

As we are running our database with physical standby database - Oracle 10.2.0.3, O/S RHEL4 ES
now the primary database server time zone is set to EST Time Zone and Standby database server is set to PST time Zone
We would need to Sync-up standby time zone with Primary database server (EST)
and also the standby server is having 2 instances,
1. standby instance
2. independent instance
We are running rman for both the instances in standby server
as part of this time sync, we need to bring down both the instances then reset the time zone in standby server as primary and bring both the instances up and run the rman backup.
is this fine.
Please let us know if this is fine or do we need to perform anything more.
Thanks,
AJ

Please see the attached screenshot, which is of the last page of the Sync Setup process. It says to backup your Sync Key, and it offers a Print ... button and a Save... button. The correct Sync Key is necessary to recover your data, it is the encryption / decryption key. Sorry, without it your data is useless.

Regional Settings - User Profile Time Zone

The user profile property time zone will only apply to the users My Site. How can you apply that time zone to the web application or site collection? So that a user from San Francisco will see calendar events on the main intranet in PST, rather than
CST.

Hi Peter,
Per my knowledge, if the time zone in the user profile is different from the time zone in the site, the time displayed in the site will be in the format based on the time zone setting in user profile.
After changing the time zone in user profile, it needs some time to save the changes back to SharePoint, so there will be some time delay of changing the time format in the site.
Please also make sure that the Always use my personal settings is selected in user profile.
Even though the time zone is not changed in the site, the time format will change based on the time zone setting in user profile if the user chooses a different time zone in his user profile.
Thanks,
Victoria

Critical: Personal Time Zone not showing up for users

Hi Experts,
There's a issue that we are facing regarding time zones for users. Even after maintaining Personal time zones of users in there SU01, users are not able to see data in the system as per there local time zone. It is still showing in the default time zone. Is there paramter that is to be maintained for putting personal time zone into effect.
Regards
Rasheed

Hi Rasheed,
Usually when Timezone customizations are performed, the display is only converted on the screen for the end user. The actual data in DB still refers to System time zone... This conversion (Display) is supported for only a few objects like Notifications, confirmations and orders... Usually objects like change documents, logs, archived data and workcenter data does not have this conversion functionality...
In this case, i dont think we have timestamp in MB51 as its only posting dates that get logged... You can consider posting a query in MM forum to get answers on customizations but from a security standpoint i dont think we have any way to attain this requirement....

DP background jobs in local time zone

We are using APO DP in an international environment (SCM 4.1). We have setup up the system, that is using the local time zone (personal user settings), which is working fine in interactive planning (data views & macros). But when executing the macros
in background (APO background jobs triggered immediately by a process chain), the macro is run based on the server time and not in the local time zone. The ALEREMOTE user is set up in the same way online users regarding time zone settings.
Can someone explain, why the local time zone isn't used in the macros when executing in background, and tell me which setting we have missed.
Many thanks in advance
Marco

HI,
I understand the issue, the issue is the Australia gets days very first from the world.. it almost GMT+11 hrs. will almost a day difference to US.
I am not sure whether my proposal will make sense, but let me try
As the month completes we will copy the sales history for the closed month. where technically the the month is current month as per the system time.
Why can not change the macro to copy current period and run at system time? i am not sure aobut the otherconstriantes.
But looking at your question, it could be possible where your client has the local time zone defined. you can check the same from any APO screen, from menu > systems->status. you can see both time zone ( local) system time.
I suggest you check with basis if we can use the local time zone, we can use the localtimezone but agian everyone has to use our local time.. NO SENSE i guess..

Iphone 4s exchange calendar time zones

I have a user with an iphone 4s and the time zones are not matching up when entering calendar events into Outlook (synching via Exchange on the iphone). all events entered into the outlook calendar are set to eastern time zones and we are in st. louis (central time zone). However, our server is hosted in the eastern time zone. Now, our hosting provider has set the time zone of our server to the central time zone so that should take care of the server side. what other things can we check to determine why the wrong time zone is being set?

FOR CORRECT TIME ON CALENDAR:
Set both the time and your time zone on the Calendar Add Event page.
Set your time zone in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Time Zone Support.
Set your time zone in Settings>General>Date and Time.

Time Zones

Dear Experts,
Can the time zone (system & user) be changed?
Could you advice the effect or impact if this were to be changed?
Why must time zones be used? Can it not be used if no international systems / access involved?
Does this affect database time?
Would really appreciate your advice.
Regards,
Ernesta

> Dear Experts,
>
> Can the time zone (system & user) be changed?
Should be possible.
> Could you advice the effect or impact if this were to
> be changed?
If you change the system time-zone, the local time calculation will change accordingly, and, there will be a difference in some of the presented data. For example, if system time zone was changed from PST to Tokyo time, the default date appearing in say txn MB01 may change (as the system will now calculate the local time of the user assuming the system time to be local Tokyo time). I would think changing time zone in a production system may not be a good idea. A user time zone can ofcourse be changed with minimal effect.
> Why must time zones be used? Can it not be used if no
> international systems / access involved?
I would think it is because all locations do fall in some time-zone, and it may be required when there are multiple timezones used later.
If the system/users are all on the same timezone, the effect of setting all of them to any timezone (as long as they are both same) will be nil.
> Does this affect database time?
Am not sure what you mean by this. For timestamping purpose, the CPU time of the application server is used for table fields (like update date and time fields). If that remains unchanged, it shouldn't matter.
I would think it is not a good idea to change system time-zones on a production system. Just my opinion.

Question about Time-zone

I'm in dilemma, whether i need to Re-schedule Reports after changing Time-zone in infoview using "My current time-zone is" option?
Please suggest me.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Parsa.

Why would you need to reschedule?
Report schedules are based on the Time Zone of the Web Server and not every individual user that schedules a report.

Time Zone storage format

Hi,
what will be the field content if the time zone is stored (Attribute of 0BP_PARTNER in CRM) in an ODS. Will it be like EST or GMT+1 ????
Thank you,
Points will be rewarded

it depends on the application server time, In your case its the time zone of the CRM server and the format is HR:MN:SC

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

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.

Time Zone issue with 7.0 and DB2

Hi,
We are having a time zone issue with weblogic server 7.0 and DB2 database. I would really appreciate if somebody provides a solution for this issue.
Our db2 DB is located in PST time zone and weblogic server is located in EST time zone.
When we access current timestamp from db2, we are getting PST time converted to EST and EST time zone attached with timestamp value.
I tried to use resultset.getTimeStamp (1,<calendar>), unfortunately this method is not supported in the DB2 driver version I am using.
We want to get same value as returned by db2 with db2 time zone not weblogic server time zone.
And also when we add new record with timestamp column through web service, regardless the time zone value sent by web service client ".Net" ,
Weblogic server converts the java.util.Date value to weblogic time zone and stores in the db.
For example, client sent 17:00 hours CST, but when it gets stored in db through weblogic ws, weblogic converts 17:00 to 18:00 EST and stores in database as 18:00 hours without any time zone. When we read this value back, we are getting it 18:00 EST only not 17:00 CST.
This is fine as long as writing and reading by same weblogic server. If another weblogic server instance in PST time zone read this value, it takes as 18:00 PST.
Due to this our application always shows timestamp hours differently.
Could some body help me to fix this problem, we are getting this problem in production after we moved our DB2 location to different time zone.
Thanks
Balaji
