Change of database time zone

• database time zone issues

  Hello

  I fell on the database time zone parameter that can be given with the CREATE DATABASE statement. However, I have found that not all databases under my control have the same time zone (some are custom databases (DBCA), some are base model). But as the affected applications only run in one country I think they should all have the same. As no timestamp with local time zone is used, I can change it with a restart. However, some questions came I couldn't find no response yet:

  1 documentation recommends to set the timezone UTC (+ 00:00), but does not give the reasons why. Anyone know what is the advantage compared to the local time zone?

  (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch4datetime.htm#NLSPG262)

  2. set a fixed offset (+ 01:00-08:00) causes to ignore changes to the DST, correct? Therefore, it is best to use a name of region (Europe/Berlin or Asia/Kuwait), right?

  3 do you know of any issues that may arise right after having changed the timezone of db?

  THX.

• Necessary to define the database time zone differs from the OS

  We have a database of who currently resides in New York. Let's move to another server that resides in London. This is a problem, because each date which is currently in the time base is New York time, but after the move, all the new data that created time will always be time to London. We do not want users to have to remind any date preceding the date of move, will idle 5 hours if we would like to do is to have the database always on time in New York despite the BONE being London time. The server will be shared with other applications for the operating system time zone will have to remain with London time. The database will only have data for our application. So is there a setting of database that we can use to set the time zone database is different from the operating system time zone? The database is currently 10 GB but is promoted as part of the move to 11 g.

  What is the data type of the column? If the date or timestamp, then there is no time zone stored with the data. If timestamp with time zone, then the time zone of the data remains the same regardless of the time zone database and operating systems.

• Hour system does not change from other time zones when autoamtically adjusted for DST

  I have the same problem. My House in time (UK) automatically adjusts for DST, but the other times around the world are not. I tried the fix above & it said it had found & solved the problem but nothing has changed.

  Suggestions more please?

  Hello Adrian Thurley.

  a. Click Start, type cmd in the search box, select command prompt, right click and run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt, type:

  ' w32tm/Debug /disable' and press 'Enter' (net stop w32time gave an error 5 access denied response!)

  Type 'w32tm /unregister' and press 'Enter' (without using the first command, the second did not!)

  You should get the answer "W32Time successfully saved."

  c. Type "w32tm /register" and press "Enter."

  You should get the answer "W32Time successfully registered.

  d. type 'net start w32time' and press 'Enter '.

• Change Date/Time (zone) on ACS5.1

  Would like to know where I can change the date/time (zone) within the ACS v5.1.  Change in the BIOS is not an option in area, just the time.  ACS then displays something completely different when starting.  Have not been able to find the settings for this in the GUI and the link I found in a talking points to a doc that apparently I need a special for access.

  Try to join this AD, so instructions on setting up NTP server would be also useful.

  None of these options were available at own 5.1 configuration.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi Wayne,

  This can be done through the command line via a console/SSH connection.

• How to change time zone in VCSA 5.5?

  Hello

  I installed VCSA 5.5 of the FVO. By default, it has been configured to the UTC time zone. I tried to change the updated time zone Pacific time, but I was unable to do so even after changing the options of NTP server, server authorization and synchronization with a server ESXi. Is it possible that I can change the time zone in VCSA 5.5

  During my research, I found the following VMware, article that says that I can't change the time zone 5.5 VCSA. But I wanted to confirm if this article is still topical?

• Work on App and travel to different time zone

  What happened to my circle of training and records when traveling to a different time zone?  Will be my streak get screwed up by the different time zone?

  Thank you

  J

  This will depend on when you switch to the different time zone.  Will travel you East or West?

  • If you are traveling to the West and extend the day, pass the watch to the new time zone, before midnight the previous zone.
  • If you are traveling from the East and the day is shortened, switch back to the previous zone, the day before that I sup, if you need complete rings.

  I posted my results for the purpose of 'stand' here: How to extend the day after midnight to complete activities and close the rings

  If you wish to extend your day past midnight to close the activity temporarily put rings the time zone to time zone more West.  Change the time zone by midnight. Now, you can use the overtime that the timezone is offset from your usual time zone to complement the missing activities.

  I tested again on a long distance flight, where the time zone to destination is shifted 8 hours than my home timezone.

  As you can see, watch OS 2.1 may give credit for activities for more than 24 hours if change you the time zone.

  At 17:00, the watch already showed that 25 hours of 'Beneficiary', more than a day.

  

  And with the 8hrs offset in my regular zone I could have accumulated 30 stand hours in work a day of:

  

  If you wish to extend your day to complete the activities in this way, do not forget to set the time zone before going to sleep, or you may forget the next day that the watch is a few hours off the coast. I'd wait to set the zone time back until after receiving the message that all tasks have been completed for the day and set the timezone to the correct time after the next hour.

• Issue of globalization - Set time zone

  Hello

  Depending on the condition, I put globalization attribute value from the Local time zone to Yes. But now, every time a user connects it gets 'Set Time Zone' on the screen. When he clicks on it. the time zone is set to 0.00.

  If the user does not click, the local time zone browser is correctly retrieved.

  Question: Can I hide this hyperlink that comes after the connection?

  Thank you

  You must to_char date. For example, in a SELECT statement, I use:

  my_date to_char (FROM_TZ (CAST (date_column AS TIMESTAMP), "America/New_York") to the LOCAL, ' Dy month ddth aaaa hh24:mi:ss ")

  New York being the database time zone I tested it on. A list of other time zones that you can use, depending on where your database, can be found here:

• Time zone stored values and change the time zone database

  When I change time zone database, the values of 'timestamp with time zone' of column stored automatically will change, or they will keep the time zone, they have been stored in form.

  TIMESTAMPWITHTIME ZONE includes these fields:

  • TIMEZONE_HOUR
  • TIMEZONE_MINUTE
  • TIMEZONE_REGION
  • TIMEZONE_ABBR

  Therefore, Therefore, Therefore, Therefore, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE is database timezone independent. It is TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE that is database timezone dependent, therefore database timezone can't be changed if it has any TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns which contain data.

• How to configure time zone information in the failover database

  Hello:
  
  I'm confused on what to do with a failover system time zone information. Here's the situation:
  
  My application has tables with timestamp columns. When the application wants to update a record he questions the recording (and part of the record is the time it has been updated), changes the record and trying to engage. If the user spends an hour of last updated with it's update request. A stored procedure will check the current value of the lastUpdateTime of this record by doing a query on this line and compare this value with the one that the user provided in the update request.
  
  Given that the installer, if my failover database is in a different time zone and traffic is automatically routed to the backup site, these comparisons are going to fail? They will fail only depending on whether I'm using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP vs SYSTIMESTAMP? No matter if the column is of type Timestamp which factors in the zone or not? Do I need to have both systems to be set to the same time zone (UTC, for example)? I'm afraid that even if I record it without time zone info, Oracle will try and automatically transform the time somehow. Perhaps my concern is not justified.
  
  Thank you.

  Here is the difference

  The current_timestamp function returns the date and time in the current time zone of the SQL session as prepared by the ALTER SESSION command. It returns a value of TIMESTAMP WITH time ZONE SCHEDULE.

  The systimestamp function returns the date current system and time (including fractions of a second and the time zone) on your local database.

  If your application needs to update by using the time zone of the date.
