Urgent Timezone change: Venezuela - Patch needed or info how to change it.

Greetings,
The Venezuelan government decided to change the Timezone of Venezuela (America/Caracas) from GMT -4 to GMT -4:30 by September 24th 2007.
We need to change the timezone of a Solaris 10 server, of course, we thought about just changing time, but, some applications including the JVM if I'm not mistaken uses several functions to get the time/date, we, of course are running Java enabled applications (J2EE) that rely heavily on time and date.
Any suggestions how we can fix this?.
Regards,
Damian

The system timezone is one thing. The source for your timezone is in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src/southamerica. Most of the time you can grab the updated 'tzdata' olson files from the internet, or you can just edit that file. Either way, you'll want to compile the source into timezone files with 'zic'.
However, it looks like reports of the Venezuela changes have been inconsistent about the effective date. Even recently this notice was posted <http://www.gobiernoenlinea.gob.ve/noticias-view/ver_detalles.pag?idNoticia=71390> which mentions Jan 1 as the date. So until this is resolved, I don't think the official database will have the entry. You might as well just edit it yourself.
None of the above affects Java. See this page for information on Java updates:
http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/
The current database (tzdata2007g) does not have any updates for Venezuela. You'll need to update it yourself or wait for another version to be published.

    The page that you’ve posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should let you reset them.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email

    I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email.

    Settings > iTunes & App store.
    Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
    The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
    When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

    This could be the same problem other users are reporting as a white screen or black screen, caused by an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and some older graphics card/chipset drivers.
    Please disable hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround. Step-by-step directions in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
    Does that work?

  • When closing and reopening, my tabs aren't restoring like the once did. My history is only keeping one day. Need to know how to change these settings.

    When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.
    My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.
    Need to know how to restore these settings.
    ***OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****

    Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

    There are other things that need attention:
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

    In there on the person you want to reset the password for enter an email (not the email you can not log into) into the Password recovery e-mail field.

  • Server change name and need to know where to change the configuration

    Hi all,
    Want to check that if the web application and the database server has change the server name what we need to change in the BO app and also data intergrator edge xi3.1. Hope someone can assist me on this so that i won't need to re-install  BO edge with data intergrator again. I cannot find any information anywhere that would inform me where to change. I really need it urgently.
    Regards,

    This is something that has plagued BusinessObjects Edge/Enterprise admins for a while--you can't change the server name for BusinessObjects XI 3.1 once it has been installed. There were some forum posts going around, with people trying with limited success but given the range of products and technologies in BusinessObjects (CR, Webi, Voyager, Xcelsius, QaaWS, Explorer, etc.) the server name is embedded in too many places to be able to successfully change the name. Your best bet would be to install BOE on a new server with the correct name then use the Import Wizard to swing the content over.
    On the Data Integrator front, you could probably rename the server and then delete and recreate your DI Job Server-- most of the meta data for DI is stored in the local repository database, so you may have a shot. I would definitely test this theory out on a development machine before trying it in a production environment!!

  • Need Help on How to Change The Encryption Key and or Change security settings

    Hello, i just installed the wireless router and i would like to know how i can change the encryption key or change the security settings (i want it so you do not have to answer it with a password). Thank you in advance.
    Message Edited by DARK_MARIO on 01-06-200706:10 PM

    Hi…
    In order to change the wireless settings of your router you need to login into the router configuration page. Open your internet explorer browser…in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP address). Leave the username field balnk……type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password). When the setup page loads fully…..click on the tab that says wireless. Just below the main tab wireless ….click on the sub tab that says wireless security. You can Change the wireless security settings here. After the changes are made click on save settings.
