Hi,
The formula is as I stated above. Run it first, and see if the Time Zone is included in the result.
To create and run the formula, right click on Formulas > New Formula > Call it Time Zone > Insert the text above replacing with your date field > Drag the formula to the Page or Report Header > F5 > Yes.
Basically, the idea behind the ToText function is to extract the exact value from your date field, hoping that CR will not truncate the Time Zone. If it does then it means that there is a compatibility problem between CR and 10g.

Need the SQL Query to check SQL time zone and change the time zone

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2008 SP2. My Ex SQL Admin said that the data which we query from our database gives the output in London time.
But the SQL server is located in USA and is having US time.
I would like to know how to find what time zone is the SQL application running on and how to change it ?
Is there any query which i can use to determine and change the time zone ?

How can I truncate the time zone from a Date object without using String?

Does anyone know how to truncate the time zone portion of a Date object and maintain the object as Date, NOT String?
I just need the date, i.e., 05/02/2008 as a Date.
Thanks.

Although you haven't said so, I expect you must be having some problem with that?
My wild guess: the server is creating a Date object and setting its time component to zero (midnight). Of course since Date doesn't have a timezone, that would be midnight in the server's timezone. Then you are interpreting that date as if it were in your timezone, and since you are west of the server, it appears to be 11 PM or 9 PM or something on the day before.
What we do is to send our timezone to the server and tell the server to use it when creating the Date object. Alternatively, when formatting the Date object you could use a SimpleDateFormat with the server's timezone applied. There are no doubt other solutions that could be provided if we had a description of your problem.

Problem with the time zone

I live in Australia, but my hole family lives in Venezuela, I want to know how I can create an event using iCalendar but using the time support from Venezuela, without changing my time zone, for example when someone is on his birthday I want to receive an alert when it's 9 a.m in Venezuela not i Australia .. Thanks guys!

I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.

If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

If a new SIM is activated on the same account for the same number, any existing SIMs for that number are deactivated.
Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not?

When time zone support is on even when I am on Jerusalem, when i create an appointment the time zone for the appointment is immediately changed to Gaza and even when I change it manually it returns to Gaza.

I have a 4s iPhone on IOS 6.0.1 with an Israeli Cellular provider.
I use Gmail services an exchange to sync my colander contacts and mail.
When the time zone support is set to ON in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
The time zone is showing Jerusalem (I am located in Tel-Aviv)
When I create a new Appointment, It Immediately changes the time zone of the appointment to Gaza.
Even if I change it back to Jerusalem it changes back to Gaza every time.
Only when the time zone support is set to OFF in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
The time zone in Gmail is ok and does not appear on the iPhone. (This is ok)
Dose any one know how do I make the iPhone not change the time zone to Gaza? And still keep the time zone support on?
TNX

they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.

How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

Got it!
In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

Change the time zone in Java System only

Hi there,
Does anyone knows where to change the time zone in Java system only? I know in ABAP they have t-code: STZAC? where do I change in Java? Configtool or visual admin? what is the service name or parameter for this?
Thanks
Kumar

hi Kumar,
You can change the timezone of the JVMs using the -Duser.timezone
parameter, add -Duser.timezone=<timezone> to all dispatcher and
server processes in your systems, using the configtool
1) open config tool
2) select yes
3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX/Dispatcher"
4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=<timezone>"
5) click "Apply changes"
6) restart your instance
Let me know how is the result

Ical can't add events to Exchange only if I change the time zone

Hi, I recently update my MacBook from Snow Leopard to Lion (10.7.3) and I was using iCal with Exchange in my organization without any problem, but now I cannot add events, I get a message saying that iCal can't add the evento to Exchange, and it gives me 3 options Cancel, Restore or Redo.
I search in the forums for this message but none has come to a posible solutions, but I found a discution that someone enable the time zone support and specifies a diferent time zone in the event and "voila" it fixes the problem, the events now are added to Exchange; but obviously this turnaround is not good because the meetings you have to mention the difference in the time to get a meeting done.
Anyone knows how to report this situation to Apple Support?

Sorry I do not write to give solutions, only to mention I have the same problem. Additionally, I can share that for the same Exchange account server I can register new events from my iPhone and my iPad. In both instances, events are uploaded to the server and appear in my MacBook's iCal.

Why is Ical not converting the time zones on email invites? This is a big problem where my work is global.

Why is my Ical not converting the time zones on email invites? this has happend twice this week where someone has sent me an evite and it post improperly on the calendar.

My original post stated that I was having performance problems and the whole point of the post was to find out if there is a way of exporting the information out of Thunderbird and importing into a new profile. Nothing has changed. I was not looking for the standard methods of managing profiles, which are well documented on the web.
Thunderbird appears to make use of a number of sqlite databases. My post was to see if there is anyone on the forum with sufficient knowledge about the database structure/usage to show me how to get the information out and import it to new databases. It is my view that some database corruption has taken place that is causing my performance problems. So, I wanted to get the data out of the databases, edit it as necessary, and get it back into new databases. I was hoping that the Thunderbird developers, or a third party, had a tool to help me with that.
I suspect that the corruption has occurred due to hard disk errors or an unexpected shutdown at some point. I could be completely wrong, but as I have said, I have ruled out the obvious things. Having created a new "blank" profile I know that the performance problems are related to my existing profile. The new profile/Thunderbird performed without issues.
If you have the expertise to show me how to do that then I would welcome your help. If you can show me that I am wrong in my assumptions then I would be interested to hear your views.
So, nothing at all has changed. I previously logged a bug report on RSS feeds and I only raised the RSS issue as an example of why I think the obvious things are not applicable. Many users may have issues relating to anti-virus/firewall type problems but as I said in my original post, I am quite technical. The point of saying that was to make it clear that I am not a novice user. I also did quite a lot of searching via Google to see if I could find a solution before posting on this forum.
So, nothing at all has changed from my original post.

How can I change the time zone while not changing the time

Let me preface this by saying I know this may seem tiddling to many but it is somthing I am rather obsessive about.
I took many photos while I was in Los Angeles. I had changed my camera's clock and the clock in the MacBook Pro to Pacific Standard Time and my iPhone automatically did the same thing. When I loaded photos into Aperture on my MacBook Pro the time information was all correct, all photos tagged in PST. I had some photos I took on my last day that I did not load into Aperture until I got home to Denver. When I loaded these images into Aperture they still have the correct time that they were shot but now show as being taken on Mountain Standard Time. If I change the time zone in Aperture then the image time is also adjusted to be one hour earlier.
Is there any way I can change the time zone in Aperture while leaving the actual image time alone?

Hello Mark,
Aperture will display the "Date created" with respect to the time zone your system is set to, but the "Date" using the time zone the image was taken in.
You can adjustthe Time Zone for individual images either on import or afterwards using batch change:
Select the images you want to adjust, then select "Metadata -> Batch Change" from the Aperture Application menu:
Click: Adjust Time Zone
Set the Camera's Time Zone to the Time zone you set your camera to when you took the images, and the Actual Time Zone to the zone you want Aperture to use to display the date.
Regards
Léonie
P.S:
This works with most cameras, but there seems to be a bug with canon cameras when importing directly from the camera. Frank Caggiano recently started a thread, but right now I cannot find the link.

How to find the Time zone of a given country & state

Hi,
Does anyone know how to retrieve the Time zone of a given Country/ State/ City?
If I give 'United States of America' & 'California' as input, i want to get 'Pacific Standard Time' as output.
Regards,
AMRITA..

There is no such built-in functionality. You would need a special database of all cities in US (if you want US only) or in the whole world that would tell you in which time zone a city lies. One US state may use multiple time zones, so you need a database at city (or, possibly, at least county level).
I have no idea if anybody provides such a database, but Oracle certainly does not. Note also that such database would change over time as time zone assignments change from time to time.

How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
Thanks!

Whitecity,
According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)
