Using Timestamp Object with day light saving time

Hi,
I am getting problem while using timestamp object with daylight saving time.
I am in 'Europe/London' time zone.
The summer time for this year starts on 30 March(last sunday) at 0200 hours.
For hour 30/03/2003 01:00, I created a date object using SimpleDateFormat and then created the timestamp object using the longvalue got from dateObject.getTime();
On printing the timestampObject.toString() it displays
30/03/2003 00:00 BST.
It seems that timestamp object uses the system timezone and I want it to be in GMT.
Could you please tell me how can I get GMT time from timestamp object.
When creating timestamp object from date

To translate Date/Timestamp objects in a controlled way use DateFormat objects. When you create a DataFormat object you can specify a Locale object which stipulates timezone information.

  • Day light saving time

    What is DayLight saving time ? What is the main significance of using it?
    Thanks in advance

    This is not really an ABAP related question....Search on the internet and you will find out. It has to do with shifting hours between summer and winter for saving (Daylight SAVING) 'money', energy etc.
    Main significance in SAP? You will have to take this into account whenever you are timestamps in your coding for example. In SAP timestamps are stored in UTC (Universal Time).
    Example:
    In your transaction your are saving an appointment on 11.06.2009 00:00:00, depending on your timezone (CET in this example) it will be stored as 20.090.610.220.000 (UTC). So, the date is NOT on the 11th (CET), but on the 10th (UTC)!!
    There are some standard function modules you can use: IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP
    and IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP.

  • Day Light Saving Time .Code

    Hello,
    I am developing one application, which includes time handling of normal time and DST as well.
    I am searching for a help(or code) , by which I get to know how to handle DST changes in java code.
    My requirement :
    Suppose in 2nd Nov 08 , GMT -8 , Central Daylight Time ends and CST starts , mean clocks will move backwards 1 hr i.e. from 2 am to 1 am. On my website I am showing time combo box to customer , where customer will select a time in HH:MM
    Now if customer has selected 2:09am , which in turn gonna be 1:09 as DST ends and clocks will move backward 1 hr. So how to handle this DST change java code, so that when customer enters 2 am it will be saved as 1 am in database when its in DST,
    Please help me. A code provision would be great help.
    thanks in advance

    this code has directly hard coded the rules of the DST timings and i.e. for US only, I am looking out for a generic code that would take care of all DST time zones. I have latest TZ library downloaded form SUN site.

  • 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

  • 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 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()

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Does anyone have the same problem? Is this a bug that Apple wasn't aware off?
    BTW, I have an IPhone 4.

    Hi
    Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
