TimeZone & Day Light Issues?

Hi all!
How can I know if my system has a date on daylight savings or not? is there any function where I can determinate that? I have been looking in the API and it seems I can find nothing at all. I am using JDK 1.3.1 for Unix

If you want to know whether your system's default time zone uses daylight savings then you can try:
TimeZone.getDefault().useDaylightTime();If you want to know whether the current date/time is in daylight savings or not, you can use:
TimeZone.getDefault().inDaylightTime(new Date());With both TimeZone and Date in the java.util package.

Date Component not to consider Timezone Day Light Savings

Hi,
when i use a input date component with timestamp .. where my local system timezone is Eastern Standard time (US)
Now i am selecting a date of 10 March 2013 with time 02:00:00 am , but in the text field after the selection, i am getting the date and time as 10 mar 2013 01:00:00
It is moving one hour back because day light saving occurs between 2 am to 3 am during this time of the year.
Same for 11 Mar 2012 02:00:00, day light saving does not occur on one particular day of the year... sometimes its 11 mar , 10 mar, 12 mar.. but everytime between 2 am to 3 am.
Now i am using a zulu standard time for which i have used this date component, i dont want this day light saving to be considered and change the time i enter during day light
saving period, it should give me the time that i have chosen
Is there any component in Jdev where it takes the value which we give or how can we build it where the date component comes with the time and does not change.
Thanks,

No this is not working, any other way
I am using jdev 11.1.1.5

EDM price profile upload process and Day light saving issue

we have a requirement to upload EDM price profile (with 60 min interval). Which are the function module or BAPI's are there to upload the price profile in EDM. Also which table holds this dat. I guess it is EPROFVAL60 and can be seen using transaction EEDM01.
Also, there is a scenario of DST (day light saving- US client) mean sometime there will be 23hrs value or sometime 25 value. How to handle this. I guess all this price value store in table EPROFVAL60 (hourly value) but the structure of this table can take 24 hrs value. Any suggestion on this.

In the profile header there is the field u201CTime Zoneu201D. There the specification of
Time Zone for EDM Objects is possible, e. g. where an installation is billed or profile data is displayed.
The configuration in IMG u2013 customizing leads to the transaction STZAC and STZBC.
This updates the tables: TTZD - Summer time rules or TTZDV - Summer time rules (variable dates)
Please watch the OSS notes frequently, since there are some updates lately.
Kind regards, Tom

Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?, Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?, Since day light savings, events are not saving in my calendar. Has anyone else had this problem?

Greetings,
I have not heard of that issue although some people have reported events showing an hour earlier / later (though I haven't seen that personally).
Questions:
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
Can you make an event and then it just disappears?
Are you using iCloud / MobileMe / Google / Yahoo / Some other server based calendar?
Try these in order:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Date & Time and make sure the Date and Time are correct and that the correct Time Zone is selected.
If that doesn't resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Day Light Saving Changes for Europe

Hi,
We are using SQL Azure databases in North Europe location.
When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes and brings back the time less by an hour.
Is that something that we need to or can do on the server or database
Having issues in saved records even for auditing purposes.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks
Deepu

When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes
Hello Deepu,
All SQL Azure server in all Azure locations (America, Europe, Asia, etc) returns for GETDATE always the same value: The current UTC date time. No time zone offset, no daylight saving, always UTC only. You can simply check it with this query:
select GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()

How toimplement Day light saving procedure

Hi All
how i can implement day light saving procedure on one of my server running on solaris 9. As DST is implementing in Pakistan for the first time, so there is no patch available till yet. Also if the NTP is attached to Server then i need to make a change only on NTP only
Thanks

To fix the system date, do this:
1) get ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2008c.tar.gz
2) extract out the file "asia".
3) clip out the section for pakistan (Asia/Karachi) and save in a file
4) type "/usr/sbin/zic filename_you_saved#3_in"
(you may want to backup what's in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo before you do this).
Mind you, this only does the system. Programs that have their own timezone data
(java, for one) has to be updated too.

Day Light Saving

Hi,
In our application log gets printed with the system's timestamp value.If for Summer time or Day Light saving purpose if the timing gets changed, will it affect in any way, the way the log content with timestamp is written to the logs? Please suggest how to handle the day light saving scenario in java ?
Regards,
Asha

No, unless you're running your software in Australia or USA or (bunch of other countries whose DST rules have changed or will change soon), which covers a very large user base :-).
In which case you should be running the latest update of your version (in your case, 1.4.2_11, I think, but check to be sure).
TimeZone rules keep changing in various countries as legislative bodies love to tinker with that sort of stuff, so you should always keep to the latest update for whatever version you choose to run on.

Day light saving changes in UCCX scripting.

Hi, We are using UCCX version 8.X and we have script like press 1 to go shangai tem, press 2 to go to US team like that.
In the time of day light saving we are doing manual changes in time of day settings manually when ever the location day light savings changes.
so is there a way to the script refer the local time zone according to the region day light savings.
or the reqired OS patched time zone patches will solve the problem please suggests.
Thank you.
Baskaran.

Hi,
UCCX uses its own time in the server to lookup the time. you need to configure the proper timezone for your UCCX. if shangai and US change start using daylight saving at the same date, you don't need to change your script. if not, unfortunately you need to change the time in the script itself.

Suppressing Day Light Saving in DateFormat

Hello.
I am having problem finding a solution to a use of DateFormat class in my application.
A format I have in my DateFormat object is converting a long primitive representation of date and time (ie. yyyyMMddHHmm, eg. 200510300300) to a string representation in "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm".
Now, my time zone is in EST (GMT + 10), and has a day light saving starting from 30th October 2005, 02:00am.
Problem is that "the" tick on 2005-10-30 02:00 gets automatically converted to 2005-10-30 03:00.
So...
200510300200 is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
200510300300is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
But my requirement is...
200510300200 is converted to 2005-10-30 02:00
200510300300 is converted to 2005-10-30 03:00
Is there a way to do this?
Do I have to manually convert the string/numbers without using DateFormat?
Thank you for your assistance!

Surely this from TimeZone answers your question?
You can use the getAvailableIDs method to iterate through all the supported time zone IDs. You can then choose a supported ID to get a TimeZone. If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the supported IDs, then a custom time zone ID can be specified to produce a TimeZone. The syntax of a custom time zone ID is:
CustomID:
GMT Sign Hours : Minutes
GMT Sign Hours Minutes
GMT Sign Hours
Sign: one of
+ -
Hours:
Digit
Digit Digit
Minutes:
Digit Digit
Digit: one of
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Hours must be between 0 to 23 and Minutes must be between 00 to 59. For example, "GMT+10" and "GMT+0010" mean ten hours and ten minutes ahead of GMT, respectively.
The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard. No daylight saving time transition schedule can be specified with a custom time zone ID.
At the end it says no Daylight Savings can be specified

Day Light Savings

This is in response to the Day light savings Bug where by the recurring alarms go off 1 hour before they should. Some people say for a work-around just don't make it recurring or put the alarm an hour back. I think I may have another solution but would like confirmation that it works.
I HAD the problem till i went to every alarm I had set and edited them by changing the alarms to the opposite AM/PM Saved, then went back in and Re-set them back to their correct AM/PM setting (eg. 6:00am changed to 6:00pm SAVE, 6:00pm changed to 6:00am SAVE). That worked for me, can anyone else confirm that fixed the problem?
Thx

I thought the day light savings / summer time adjustment was set according to your home location? When first powering on the phone, it should ask you where you are (eg london uk) and it will use the rules for that location to adjust the time.
Bit **bleep** if it doesn't.. I can't think of any other good reason for asking where you were other than locale stuff..
Try setting Time zone under date & time settings (settings -> phone -> date & time) which might kill auto updating.. It is such a simple thing to get right, but Nokia does have a history of screwing it up quite badly..
I remember using a nokia 7650 (first s60 phone) and it set the timezone to something impossible.. like GMT+36?!?! crazy times..

Alarm setting and Day Light Saving

I set an alarm for a "Weekdays" at 4:50 am. Since the Day Light Saving started, my alarm keeps going of at 3:50 am. The setting stills show 4:50 am.
I can delete the old alarm and create a new one but I want to see if anyone having the same problem.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is this a bug that Apple wasn't aware off?
BTW, I have an IPhone 4.
Thanks,

I have the same issue with my iPhone 3GS

Day light saving effect on standby databases

Hi All,
Does day light saving will have any impact on physical/logical standby databases.

Regards,
Prasad.Nothing to do with time in terms of Standby databases.
Its applicable only in RAC environment, where you should have same time acceptable < 30 seconds around.
One of my earlier post, i given example, pasting again
Lets example:-
Primary database is in Far North - Canada
Standby Database is in Bangalore - India
So here time zones are completely different, at least 12 hours difference. So there is no need to be same time in DR environment.
