Where the value of systimestamp/sysdate comes from and dbms_scheduler

I saw bunch of other posts but I could find the post that exactly explaining about where the value returned as systimestamp/sysdate comes from or impacted or I’m missing something and need some help.
Here is my situation
I have an access to this db (let me call db A) and when I access it, I get following result. I don’t have full access to this db so I cannot experiment a lot here.
SYSTIMESTAMP CURRENT_TIMESTAMP LOCALTIMESTAMP DBTIMEZONE SESSIONTIMEZONE
27-MAR-13 02.31.55.041411 AM +00:00 26-MAR-13 07.31.55.041416 PM -07:00 26-MAR-13 07.31.55.041416 PM +00:00 -07:00
I’m in PST timezone.
I have my db which I have full access as well as its host.
I can make result like db A on my db if I started up db and its listener while TZ environment variable equal to UTC.
Now I saw in other post that someone was trying to retrieve systimestamp value in a job executed via dbms_scheduler.run_job.
So I did that in two ways. 1 with use_current_session = true and 2 is false for the same.
On my db, results are the same (both returns time in UTC) but on db A, I got UTC time when use_current_session = true and PST when use_current_session = false.
So questions are:
What could be the difference in setup between my db and db A?
Is there a query, logfile, or anything I should check to find out what can be the difference?
Any clue about where to check will be appreciated as well and please let me know if there is some additional information necessary to provide me some help on this.
I tried to find the cause with my db and I could see the same result as db A which is to see UTC time if use_current_session = true and PST time if use_current_session = false by bringing up the db listener after I set TZ environment variable equal to PST8PDT. However this causes systimestamp from sqlplus session become also a PST time.
The reason I’m playing around with the setup and checking systimestamp value is because we are facing the situation where everywhere except pl/sql job submitted by enterprise scheduler service is pointing wrong timezone (PST instead of UTC) and I’ve been searching the solution or clue for where to look at.

Hi Stephen,
I think your first thought about using a javascript timer, call an APEX application process to get the new value and finally set it in the page 0 item would be the way I would take. :)
+"Also, the message shown may vary depending on who is logged in, i.e. the user session. More than user is logged-in at the same time."+
In case you use an application process this shouldn't be any problem.
Some useful links: [Carl Backstrom's example|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11]
[My example application includes similar ways of using js and application processes|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=65555:1]
Best regards,
Tobias

  • Where did the iPhoto 10 iCloud Photostream come from and how do I get rid of it?

    I just updated my MacBook Air to mavericks.  I have an iPad and iphone as well just updated to ios7.  My Mac updated iPhoto as well.  Now when I opened iPhoto I got my flickr and Facebook integrated folders in the left pane plus an iCloud photostream.
    I didn't have that before and it has 287 pictures pulled from many devices but I didn't set that up.  I only had/have a private photostream with a particular name and about 10 pics in it.  this new one is just called iCloud photostream and it has 287 pics of which some I know I took with my iPad and others with my iphone.  I of course sync both devices with my Mac so this pics are in my iPhoto library as well.

    Roger,
    The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

  • Where did the "Archive" mailbox come from and how do I ditch it

    Converting a Mac from SL to Mav and something new popped up. In the list of mailboxes below trash is one labled Archive. What is it? Where did it come from and how do I ditch it? It is empty.

    If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
    You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
    Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
    I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
    I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

    My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon.  Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

  • Where does the «On my Mac» mailbox come from ?

    Hi ...  In the my Mail's Trash mailbox in the sidebar, recently a sub mailbox called «Sur mon Mac (On my Mac)» mailbox (see here) was created.  Where does it come from and what is it's purpose? 

    If you add/import your own mailboxes (I have a lot of them because I like to be organized), the system will automatically add a separate trash can for anything you may delete from one of those because the system treats those separately and, by default, assigns them to "on my Mac". If you delete anything from one of your own folders (not the system default mailboxes), it will wind up in the On My Mac trashcan.
    Any mailbox under my heading of IMPORT is considered "on my mac".

  • How can I get the value of a custom property from a resource object?

    I am trying to get the value(s) of a custom property, called "status" within a method. The method has an object of type IResource available to it.
    I have tried the following:
    PropertyName propName = new PropertyName("","status");
    value = res.getProperty(propName).toString();
    However, I am getting a NullPointerException when I try to create the PropertyName instance.
    Is there a better way to get the value of a specific property from a resource object?
    Thanks,
      Tom

    Thanks Praveen.
    I was missing the default namespace of "http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm" - I thought I could just pass an empty string for the namespace, but it looks like I must always specifiy, even if it is default.

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • How can I set the value to a session bean from backing bean

    Hi Experts,
    How can I set the value to a session bean from backing bean where I have created getter and setter

  • Value Set whose Data come from customize table with distinct record

    Dear All,
    I am new in Oracle EBS, currently i am creating value set whose data come from customize table which have 40 duplicate record in which distinct column return 27 record .
    Table XX_ROUND_SET
    Columns (Transactions_id,set_record)
    Total Record (40)
    Distinct Record (Set_Record --> 27)
    I just want to show only 27 record in it.
    Thanks
    Rehan

    Hi Rehan,
    PL.IGNORE MY EARLIER UPDATE AND TREAT THIS UPDATE AS YOUR SOLUTION.
    Method 1
    Create the VIEW based on DISTINCT values; use the VIEW for creates the VALUESET.
    Method 2
    Paste the QUERY in TABLE field with alias name, and give the column name (with alias name).
    (in your case )
    TABLE NAME : ( select distinct transactions_id, set_record from XX_ROUND_SET ) Y
    VALUE : Y.transactions_id

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3
    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture
