Timezone to GMT

HI Experts,
Please help me converting UTC time to GMT time..
How to find the time zone?
Thanks,

Hi Vikram D,
If you want to change system TimeZone...
Then use Tcode STZAC
Might be u need to contact your basis person for the authorization for this T-Code..
Or if u need it to be done in ABAP then try this way...
DATA:
        l_datum LIKE sy-datum,       " Date
        l_ctime LIKE sy-uzeit,       " Current time
        l_tstmp TYPE timestamp,      " Time Stamp
l_datum = sy-datum.
l_ctime = sy-uzeit.
CONVERT DATE l_datum
              TIME l_ctime
         INTO TIME STAMP l_tstmp TIME ZONE sy-zonlo.
Also see below FMs..
LTRM_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO
STU3_ALERTS_CONV_UTC_2_LOCAL
TZON_CHECK_TIMEZONE
TZON_GET_TIMEZONE_TEXT
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
TZ_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards

Funny thing, look at the compareTo result....

Difference Time b/w Current TimeZone to GMT

Hi
I need to get the Difference time(Millisec), between current TimeZone to GMT
Can anyone help me to get this.
Thanks

Look at TimeZone's getRawOffset() and getOffset(long) methods.

Setting TimeZone to GMT -12.00

Hi,
I set the TimeZone on my system to GMT -12.00 and the Date/Time is Dec 14 7:53 AM.
When i try to get the Date in my java application using
= new java.util.Date()
or
=Calendar.getInstance().getTime()
Date/Time it shows is Dec 15 7:53 AM. It has added a Day to the actual date on my system. Is this way java does it or is there any other way to get the exact date/time.
Thanks,
Veera

I feel Calendar.getTime() has bug but Sun claims it's a feature.
Use something like this:
    SimpleDateFormat sdt
     = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z", Locale.US);
    sdt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
    String now = sdt.format(new Date());
    System.out.println(now);Sun has something to say ...
>
Date.toString() uses the default time zone (i.e., TimeZone.getDefault() value) to format the date. Change its default time zone or use SimpleDateFormat and its setTimeZone() to specify the time zone to be used for formatting.
bug_id=4368909
Calendar.getTime() returns a Date instance which supports only the default TimeZone. Please use DateFormat to specify a TimeZone for displaying a date/time value with the (non-default) TimeZone. (See java.text.DateFormat.setTimeZone documentation)

Report Scheduling. How to syncronize the GMT and the local server timezones

Hi everybody, I need to schedule reports using the Schedule tab on BIP, but I didn't still understand how the syncronization between my server's timezone and the GMT timezone works.....
I noticed that when I open the Report Schedules initial page, this is refreshed using the GMT timezone as follows:
Page Refreshed Monday, July 26, 2010 7:53 AM GMT
Actually I'm located in Athens (GMT+3)
I noticed that if I want to Run once a report, ONLY the GMT is took in consideration.
For example, I want to run a report at 11.30 (Athens timeone) where the time conditions are the following:
BIP time (GMT timezone): 08.00 AM GMT
server timezone: 11.00 AM (Athens time)
So, if I want to run a report at 11.30 AM (Athens time), I have to write in BIP (Run once) 08.30 AM, instead of 11.30, otherwise if I put 11.30, the report runs 3 hours and 30 minutes later instead of only 30 minutes !!! This is very frustrating....because it means that everytime I need to remember that there is a difference of 3 hours and if I want effectively....
I also set the Report Formatting Time Zone = GMT+03:00 to fill the gap between the GMT's timezone and Athens's timezone but it didn't work....
I found that the variable <xsl:param name="_XDOTIMEZONE">GMT</xsl:param> is set into the tmpl.xsl; I tried to change it (GMT+3 or GMT+03:00), I stop and restart the BIP server....but nothing...the BIP timezone is always GMT (as showed by th Page Refreshed date and time).
At the end my question is this: is there a way to modify the internal BIP timezone in order to fill the gap between this and the server timezone ?
In other words, I'd like to see the page refreshed with the server timezone (Athens timezone) and not the GMT timezone, in order to schedule reports thinking directly my local server timezone (and not think always to calculate how many hours is the difference).
This, I think is a common issue for everybody, but....I didn't find nothing in the forum....
If somebody found a workaround, every help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

Good Morning Vetsrini,
I know that the "Report Formatting Time Zone" is used to set the timezone properly INSIDE the report...but my attention now is concentrated on the Scheduling...
As I mentioned before I'd like to find a way to syncronize the BIP timezone (based on GMT) and my local server timezone (Athens, GMT+2), and this I think it's possiblie only if I can modify the BIP timezone (GMT): instead to have GMT, I'd like to have GMT+2 in order to have the same time in both of systems.
I already tried to change the variable <xsl:param name="_XDOTIMEZONE">GMT</xsl:param> into the tmpl.xsl, but it didn't work....
I don't understand how all the others millions of BIP users who don't live in UK can use the scheduler keeping in mind always the gap between their local time and the GMT time set in BIP......
Do you have another hint or workaround ?
Thanks for your help
Alex

How to Convert GMT in EST timezone

We are comunicating with a system,which send date and time in this format - GMT Date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMISS where HH is 24 hour format.Our server has EST (US) time zone. Now I have to validate if the received time stamp from our client is with in +/- 5 minutes, we need to allow him to do some operation.So How can I compare the time stamps in GMT and EST.Which java classes I need to use to accomplish it, any code snippet wil be hepful
thanks in advance
pary

Try this it may help you.
          Date date = new Date();
         DateFormat estFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
         DateFormat gmtFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
         TimeZone gmtTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
         TimeZone estTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST");
         estFormat.setTimeZone(gmtTime);
         gmtFormat.setTimeZone(estTime);
         System.out.println("GMT Time: " + estFormat.format(date));
         System.out.println("EST Time: " + gmtFormat.format(date));Result::
GMT Time: 10/5/05 5:37 AM
EST Time: 10/5/05 1:37 AM

Need help,
is there any bug on BBM Z10?
i set a correct timezone in setting date and time, actually automatically updated.
but when i turn on "Show my location and timezone", on the other blackberry devices who has my PIN number, show a wrong GMT time.
For example: i set timezone +7 GMT (Jakarta),
but in display my profile BBM showed Reykhavik (+0 GMT).
Thanks for your reply
Hope OS 10.2 released soon.. ^^

Try with phone reset, it may work...

How to disable Day Light Saving Change with GMT-5 TimeZone ?

Hi,
I want to use a Calendar object for date manipulation, but I want
to disabled DST, because it adds and removes 1 hour depending
on the calculation.
I took a look at severals books but without success. I found a solution at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/gotchas.html#DATE , but it uses UTC TimeZone
which is innapropriate in my case. I must use date with the GMT-5 TimeZone
I want to know if there's a way to disable DST for the GMT-5 TimeZone ?
Thanks in advance ?

I want to know if there's a way to disable DST for the GMT-5 TimeZone ?Yes, but have you tried
TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-5")? In theory, that should give you a DST-invariant time zone 5 hours behind GMT.
When I just tried at (at 10:45AM PDT here), I got a time of 12:45 with this timezone (by using a SimpleDateFormat with this timezone to format a new Date()), which shows that it is ignoring DST.

Error: GMT / TimeZone in Date()

On my Windows XP is the current TimeZone GMT+0100 (Amsterdam,
Berlin, Bern, ...).
The code below produce a false Date object:
var now:Date = new Date();
trace( now ); // result: Wed Jul 11 02:06:57 GMT+0200 2007
Setting the TimeZone on GMT+0100 (West Africa):
var now:Date = new Date();
trace( now ); // result: Wed Jul 11 01:14:15 GMT+0100 2007
This is not good :-(

ok.
It is not an error. We differentiate in Germany between
summer time (+1 hour) and winter time (-1 hour).
Therefore it makes sense to show in summer GMT+0200, although
in windows GMT+0100 is set.
....but it is an ugly behaviour, if one does not
remember.

Forum Timezone: GMT gives in reality GMT-1

My local timezone is GMT (Portugal, UK, Ireland...). We have summer time now, like all EU.
However the forum times show up as GMT-1.
That is, if I post at 11:00, the post on my browser shows up as 10:00.
This of course affects all posts from other people.
Thats not a big deal, I sort of solved it by setting in my forum profile my localization as +01 CET.
Am i missing something ?
I am using Firefox to access the forums and my Arch has in rc.conf:
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Portugal"

No, I didn't.
The timezone set to Portugal or Europe/Lisbon has the same effect. And anyhow this only tells Arch itself where I am
located and this is working as it should.
The forum timezone variable is set on the forum profile page. And there I can only choose -01, 00, +01 and so on.
The text is:
Timezone: For the forum to display times correctly you must select your local timezone.
I have it set to +01, even though I am at 00.
And I don't see a summer time option, and I would swear that it was there before.
Go figure.

Xp20:current-dateTime give time of GMT, not of our timezone

Hi,
process call xp20:current-dateTime(), this function give time of GMT, not of our timezone(China, GMT+8).
for example, I call it at 10:20AM, but it return 2:20AM.
I have edit opmn.xml, at oc4j_soa instance, add "-Duser.timezone=GMT+8" in java-options, restart soa suite.
but not take effect.
the server is SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 on Windows 2003.
any suggestion is welcome.Thanks

Thats great but what is the timezone of your server where soa suite is installed. Also what is the timezone of the dehydration store server?

Calendar.add for Central African Timezone (GMT +2)

Hi all,
I am trying to add x days to 1900-01-01 06:00 at the Central African Timezone (GMT +2). However, the result from simple Calendar.add(Calender.DATE, numDays) is giving me 4 min and 12 seconds less. This only happens when the final date pass March 1, 1903 (which is the only DST day of Central African).
ie:
origDate = 1900-01-01 06:00 CAT
numDaysToAdd = 1154
resultDate = 1903-03-01 05:55:48 CAT (instead of 06:00)
I searched around the bug database and someone suggests to always use GMT to do calendar calculation. However, with that, I will get 2 extra hours.
ie:
origDate = 1900-01-01 06:00 CAT
numDaysToAdd = 1154
resultDate = 1903-03-01 08:00:00 CAT (instead of 06:00)
Any idea on how to work this out?
Here is the test code:
import java.util.*;
import java.math.*;
public class Test2
public static void main(String[] args) {
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Africa/Harare"));
// Create a date set the Time to 1900/01/01 06:00 AM
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
          now.set(1900, 0, 1, 6, 0, 0);
          Date d = new Date(now.getTimeInMillis());
          System.out.println(d.toString());
     System.out.println();
          // try to add 1154 days to d with GMT timezone
          Date d2 = addDaysWithGMT(d, 1154);
          System.out.println("Extra two hours: " + d2.toString());
          System.out.println();
          // try to add 1154 days to d with original timezone
          d2 = addDays(d, 1154);
          System.out.println("Missing 4 minutes and 12 seconds: " + d2.toString());
     public static Date addDaysWithGMT(Date d, int days) {
Calendar now=Calendar.getInstance();
          now.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
          now.set(d.getYear() + 1900, d.getMonth(), d.getDate(), d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds());
          System.out.println("after set: " + now.getTime());
          now.add(Calendar.DATE,days);
          System.out.println("after add: " + now.getTime());
          now.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
          return new Date(now.getTimeInMillis());
     public static Date addDays(Date d, int days) {
Calendar now=Calendar.getInstance();
          now.set(d.getYear() + 1900, d.getMonth(), d.getDate(), d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds());
          System.out.println("after set: " + now.getTime());
          now.add(Calendar.DATE,days);
          System.out.println("after add: " + now.getTime());
          return new Date(now.getTimeInMillis());
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Winnie

Not going to read all that, especially with the unformatted code. However, a couple of things leap out at me.
* 1903
* 4 min., 12 sec.
As a rough guess, this sounds like an accumulation of leap seconds.
As a second out-of-my-butt guess--this TZ might be one of the less common/"popular"/well-known ones, so it's possible that it has various adjustments to its rules over the years. Note that I don't really know what I'm talking about here--just venting a vague gut feeling.

How can i work out the GMT time wherever i am ?

Hi, i'm going crazy with the date/time classes, just can't seem to work it out.
I need to know the current time as a GMT time.
I need to know wherever the program is running, i myself am in Amsterdam GMT+02:00 , my server is located in Canada GMT-04:00 (?)
I parse dates from websites all over the world so i get times in the form of strings of which i know the timezone. I need to store everything in a mysql database and i want the database to contain GMT times only.
I've worked out how to get a string from its timezone into GMT but,
how can i get the current time as GMT ?
somehow i keep getting timeshifts i cannot explain.
this is where i got to:
TimeZone tz_gmt;
tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
Timestamp tsGmtnow;
tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
Which is fine if i run it in Amsterdam, it gives me the current date/time in GMT, but on the server in Canada it gives me GMT+4 hours. What am i missing ?

found a workaround,
     TimeZone tz_gmt;
     tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
     TimeZone tz_can;
     tz_can = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-04:00");
     TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
     String Stz = tz.getID();
     SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
     Timestamp tsGmtnow;
if ( "Europe/Berlin".compareTo(Stz) == 0) {
     // i'm in Europe, go from local time to GMT
     sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
     tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
} else {
     // i'm in Canada, local time IS gmt
     sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_can);
     tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
out.println(tsGmtnow.toString());
the default timezone returns either:
Europe/Canada
GMT-04:00
somehow the GMT-04:00 get ignored by the formatter

How to convert a datetime value to UTC (or GMT)

I have this problem.
The user should provide the following inputs:
- A date time value - i.e: 10 september 2006, 10:40 AM
- The world location to which that value refers - i.e.: Rome/Italy
I need as output, the UTC date time value:
- i.e: 10 september 2006, 8:40 AM
in this case it is two hours before because during summer time, the Italian timezone is GMT+2
And if the user enters:
- A date time value - i.e: 25 december 2006, 10:40 AM
- The world location to which that value refers - i.e.: Rome/Italy
The output should be: (UTC time)
- i.e: 25 december 2006, 9:40 AM
It only only one hour before because during winter, in italy the timezone is GMT+1
In few words I need that Java can do by itself all the calculations about the timezone and daylight saving around different places in the world, so that I can store in my DB the universal UTC time.
Can you suggest me some code or some good URLs?
Thanks in advance

I wrote this code, it works but I have still some issues.
          GregorianCalendar abroad = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"));
          abroad.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2006);
          abroad.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11);
          abroad.set(Calendar.DATE, 25);
          abroad.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 1);
          abroad.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
          abroad.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
          System.out.println(abroad.getTime());
        DateFormat df1 = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.FULL);
          df1.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"));
          System.out.println(df1.format(abroad.getTime()));
        DateFormat df2 = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.FULL);
          df2.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
          System.out.println(df2.format(abroad.getTime()));
        DateFormat df3 = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.FULL);
          df3.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Etc/UTC"));
          System.out.println(df3.format(abroad.getTime()));          It outputs:
Sun Dec 24 17:00:00 CET 2006
luned� 25 dicembre 2006 1.00.00 JST
domenica 24 dicembre 2006 11.00.00 EST
domenica 24 dicembre 2006 16.00.00 UTCIn few words this code is able to compute any date from a specific timezone, to other timezone.
My questions are:
- Why the first output is in english ? and the other are in italian? (my OS is italian) but I didn't changed the locale in the code, so I don't understand why it outputs english text.
- When I get the date value in other timezones, I just get a "string" computed by the "format(...)" method of the DateFormat class.
But I really need to get something "numeric" for every specific value: minutes, hours, day of the month, month, year. Because this class will be used outside java and I don't need a string but something that the user will have formatted in his choosen locale setting for its website. (i think that I was not good to explain this point, i hope that someone can understand)
However thank you all :)

How to fix the search problem due to timezone?

I live in GMT+8 timzone. I just migrated a site from SP2010 to SP2013. After migrated when I search for a managed property (datetime) all results return is 1 day later.
To troubleshoot the problem, I setup a new managed property using "Text" datatype. In refinement panel for that managed property I found the refinement are all looks like 2013/12/11 16:00:00. (which should be 2013/12/12 00:00:00)
The old server is running in GMT+8. The only different is SP2010 and SP2013.I have changed the web application -> general settings -> timezone to GMT+8 and the site collection settings as well. We did not enable "My site" so there
is no personal regional settings. What else I can check? What should I check and how can I make the search work as expected?

Once a document is stored and uploaded it has the UTC time stamp on it. Now this timestamp cannot be changed.
So you either use timezone when the document was uploaded or use it the same way.
BTW what difference does it make with the time it shows?
The field in question is designed to store a "Date" value only not the "Time". The time is always 00:00:00.
In the old farm, users search for 2013/12/31 will get the results with field value 2013/12/31. Now in the new farm, with the timezone problem, search for 2013/12/31 will get the results with field value 2014/1/1
