Time zone manipulation problem

Hi!
I want to manipulate date with respect to some customized formats. I'm done successfully but the only problem is in Time Zone representation and manipulation. I want to show time zone information like GMT+01:00 or �CEST/CST� but it is showing like �Central European Time�.
The Sample Code
===============
public String selectDateType(java.util.Calendar a_objDateTime, String a_strDateType){
      m_strDate = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE) < 10 ? "0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE) : ""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.DATE);
      m_strMonth = (a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) < 10 ? "0"+(a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) : ""+(a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);
      m_strYear = ""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.YEAR);
      m_strHour = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) < 10 ? "0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) : ""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
      m_strMinute = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE) < 10 ? "0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE) : ""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
      m_strSecond = a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND) < 10 ? "0"+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND) : ""+a_objDateTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);
      if(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("SHORT")){
        m_strDateTime = m_strDate+"/"+m_strMonth+"/"+m_strYear;
        System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> SHORT DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
      else if(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("FULL")){
        Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL);
        m_strDateTime = df.format(now) +" "+m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+
                        ":"+m_strSecond + " "+TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
        System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
      else if(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("US")){
            m_strDateTime = m_strMonth+"/"+m_strDate+"/"+m_strYear+" "+
            m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+":"+m_strSecond + " "+
            TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
            System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> US DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
      else if(a_strDateType.equalsIgnoreCase("EU")){
            m_strDateTime = m_strDate+"/"+m_strMonth+"/"+m_strYear+" "+
            m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+":"+m_strSecond + " "+
            TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
            System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> EU DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
      else{
        Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL);
        m_strDateTime = df.format(now) +" "+m_strHour+":"+m_strMinute+
                        ":"+m_strSecond + " "+TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName();
        System.out.println("JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: " + m_strDateTime);
      return m_strDateTime;
}The Sample Output
================
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> SHORT DATE..: 17/05/2007
JAVA CALENDAR >> EU DATE..: 17/05/2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> US DATE..: 05/17/2007 14:02:59 Central European Time
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 14:02:59 Central European Time

Thanx Dear !
It resolve my problem.
The Sample Code
===============
String pattern = "EEEEEEEEEEEE, MMMMMMMMMMMM d, yyyy H:mm:ss z";
SimpleDateFormat date_format = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
m_strDateTime = date_format.format(now);The Sample Output
================
In case of day light saving is off
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 14:11:15 GMT+01:00
In case of day light saving is on
JAVA CALENDAR >> FULL DATE..: Thursday, May 17, 2007 15:12:04 CESTboth outputs are acceptable. Thanx again for good guidance.

Time zone compatability problem with timed event created on iOS and pushed to Windows7 Outlook calendar for sharing

Hi, I am in Jerusalem time zone. My Windows7 LAPTOP time zone is set to it (UTC+02:00 Jerusalem). My iPhone5 and iPad are both "Set Automatically" (ON) to Jerusalem. When I create any new event in my outlook on my Laptop it's generated with the Jerusalem time zone and pushed properly via iCloud to my iPhone and iPad. However when I create a new timed event on either my iPhone or iPad. or even in iCloud calendar (in a browser) the event is pushed to outlook on my Laptop in a "Beirut" time zone. Now that both Jerusalem and Beirut are on the same time zone (UTC + 02:00) it doesn't create any problem (though I prefer to see that the pushed events are indeed in Jerusalem time zone and not Beirut...). However, at and around day time saving change days there are problems of events created on iOS devices or even in iCloud (using browser) and pushed to outlook at the wrong times (1 hour earlier or later, depends on the change direction in Jerusalem time...) with a Beirut time stamp.
How can I resolve this problem and make sure all timed events, created on iOS devices at a Jerusalem time zone, appear as such after pushed via iCloud to my windows7 Outlook calendatr? Thanks!

I also have this issue (iPhone 5). Outlook needs to be configured properly in that timezone option needs to be selected. Which is challenging enough.
However the bigger issue for me is that when I open the ICN file:
1. I have no way to accept decline etc.
2. When the event is populating the calendar in the wrong time I can neither cut and paste nor select and move. It is totally static.
So for every meeting request I have to ensure it populates the right time as per my time zone. and if it doesnt i have to manually enter a second meeting 'X' hours earlier/later depending on which time zone the meeting was generated in.
I spoke to Apple. Their solution is make sure Outlook is properly configured. Fine...but good luck. I need a work around that is Apple based. Because this *****.
They said they would send to the development team. I am not holding my breath.

Switching Time Zones. Problem in syncing calendars

I am currently having problems with syncing my calendars from my Touch to Outlook calendars. The problem is that when I put in a scheduled event and sync it to my computer, the time is always pushed forward by 2 hours when I look on my Outlook Calendars.
I have just recently switched time zones from Central to Eastern (2 hour time difference). I have changed the time zones for my iPod Touch and computer to the Eastern time zone. Yet it is still not syncing up the times properly.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

hi once more:)
maybe check you j2ee too:
log on to

then choose system properties for your server
inside you'll find user.timezone
check if this value is ok

ICal time zone support problem

my problem is not that it goes out of sync, but according to the iCal help, there is supposed to be a "pop-up menu in the upper right corner of the iCal window." I have no idea what that means, because i don't see a thing.
I am still on tiger, btw.
thanx!

caitanya,
In order for you to display that selection open iCal>Preferences...>Advanced and choose [✓] Turn on time zone support.

Problems with auto-scale vertical charts when change time zones

I have built an application that utalizes Vertical Strip Charts. Basiclly, XY Charts that are filled with 100 points of data each loop cycle. To get the Time portion of it I use the Get Dat/Time in Seconds Function and then typecast it to a double. I have built the application and installed in on several PC in my same time zone no problem, but when I send it to someone in the UK on GMT time the strip chart does not update correctly. The scaling is off. The interesting thing is the most recent time on the chart is correct and is updating correctly, but the time at the top of the graph is not correct. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreaciated.

Can you post a copy of this application, or an example that would demonstrate this? If you change your timezone on your computer to UK's timezone and restart LabVIEW (which is necessary for the change to take affect in LV), do you see this behavior?

Time Zones problem in IDoc Adapter

Hello,
we have a problem regarding time zones. We send an IDoc from an external system to the XI IDoc adapter. the external system has only one time zone which is set to CET. Our SAP XI system as well as the op system is also set to CET and the same also goes for all user properties.
We need the value of "TIME_SENT" from the xml message header to achieve our mapping. This works out pretty good but unfortunately we find the wrong time in the xml message header, which is UTC in this case.
Does anyone know where in the J2EE engine or in the IDoc adapter this UTC date comes from and where to configure the time zone?
Thanks in advance

but if i am trying "15.00 AM GMT" as per mask it should be invalidated because after format it will return "3.00 PM GMT" this is also working as per my expectaion
But When i changed the Timzoe mask from GMT to PDT it get again fails

There's a setLenient method you can use.

Problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk

All Belarus users of Mac and iPhone/iPad have a problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk. If you set time in AUTO, then time going down for 1 hour from actual time. That is happened after Belarus didn't went for winter time this year. In this case on all Mac's and iPhones and iPad's didn't work at all Face Time, iMessage, iChat. Apple still not reacting for this problem.

Same issue here... That is really annoying when such a good things like iCal sync just doesn't work.
Also, in case if you trying fix it somehow... here is a lot of issues related to this one. e.g. if the time zone settings were set in manual order; we're get an authorization issue with applications like Twitter...

Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

Hi Cindiii,
Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

Time Zone Problem

Dear ABAPers,
I have got one requirement in my project.
The requirement is like this. The User(USER1) will create the sales order for the company Code 1000(Austrlia) and the same user will create the Sales order for the company code2000(United states).
The creation time should be taken from company code time zone.But it is taking from user time zone.Is there any User exit to solve this problem or is there any settings available to solvethis problem.
Thanks & Regards,

Changing date and time is wrong with time zone problem

Okay, searched some of the forums, but didn't get the most correct answer to this:
I just imported all my photos into Aperture from iPhoto (chose to have Aperture manage files as I don't plan on using iPhoto any longer. When I imported the files, I decided to do some organizing by date into folders. no problem.
In some of my projects, I found some files that I imported from scans or got from others who had a film roll and processed it at a lab, and the dates from those files aren't the dates that the event took place. I went into Metadata>Adjust date and time, and changed the date (not so much the time I'm worried about), and checked the "change the masters" little box, too.
After I close out of that box, the picture has the wrong date. I've determined this is because of the time zone support. I currently live in Japan, and I would like my photos here to show up as the date in the place they were taken. I think the date I enter, it thinks is the date I'm currently in (GMT +9), but aperture chooses to convert the date as if I was saying "hey, the picture I took happened on "date" in GMT +0:00)" which then makes it look in the metadata view as if it happened a day earlier.
Any imported photos come in as the correct date and time and correct time zone, as far as I can see. It's just when I change the date and time it thinks I mean to have aperture convert it to GMT + 0:00. (but on a little more of a funny side... older pictures that happened in other time zones back in the states it lists the correct date and time for when the picture was taken, but "says" it's GMT +9:00) (another issue I'll deal with later maybe!)
Hope I've described it in such a way that you can get it.

I changed time and now my MacBook won't work

ICal time zone problems with 10.10

I travel all over the world so I use multiple time zones for iCal and until Yosemite I never had any problems. Now iCal for some reason will automatically select the time zone at the top of the list of time zones regardless of my current location. Biggest problem is that iCloud is now storing that same info so that when I enter an event on my iPhone 5s (8.3) it does not accept the phones current location, it accepts whatever time zone is at the top of the list from iCal on my MBP. Because the iCal on the iPhone does not allow a selection of time zones I then have to go into iCal on the MPB to change or verify what time zone the phone set.
I never ever had any problems in the past until Yosemite. Know I can delete my iCal plist, but that will remove "ALL" time info on everything.
Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the time zone list without effecting current events?
The other problem I have is that as countries around the world are changing from standard time to daylight time or the other way around. iCal is not allowing me to set new events days, weeks or months in advance to the time zone at that time. So that I no longer can tell if I have selected say Standard Eastern Australian Time or Daylight Eastern Australian Time ... that goes for nearly every county.

Have the same with a German timezone. Both computers are in German time, published calendar is in US time. Looks like the calendar that you access online is using the US server time as reference.

Getting time zone problem in Vista Please help?

Aslam-o-Alaikum
I am using JDk 1.5.0_0.8 on Windows Vista and i am having problem in retreiving correct Time zone. it always returns "Greenwich Mean Time" when i run
"System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName());"
on vista where as it returns "GMT+05:00" on Windows Xp and all previous versions. Because of this problem i am unable to retrieve current date correctly in Vista where as the same code runs fine in Windows XP. Please help!!!!!!!!!

I am having a similar problem with JRE 1.4.2_07 and Windows Server 2008. The time zone returned is ALWAYS GMT for the default time. I can work around this by explicitely setting the time zone in my code, but my customer would like a real fix. TZUPDATER seems to have no effect. Any ideas?

Time zone problem between mac and windows

i'm running os x snow leopard on one partition and windows 7 on another on a 2008 mbp. whenever i log into windows and then get back onto mac, my time is completely off. i can temporarily fix it by removing the local time file, which resets it, but every time i log into windows and back i get the same problem. i've tried turning off the automatic time zone, tried turning off auto everything and just setting the time myself and it always goes back to being messed up after a trip to the windows partition.
anybody got a fix?

For windows users can you create a connection key in Windows machine and send the same.
