Time change

[Former Member]

There are some problems with some batches on the system,

and I need to make sure that the systems are set on GMT time.

Checking the system time in system status, it shows Time Zone CET. ( time for users )

but I am sure it is GMT. How can I check the time of the DB, and the real time of the system ?

Is there any report that shows that ?

Thanks in advance,

J.

Hi jordy,

for the database itself I don't know, but for server, you can check SY-TZONE (time zone) and other parameters returned in structure SYST.

Do a liltle abap program to get them.... or run any transaction in debug with /h, and get info of SYST.

sy-UZEIT Current Time of Application Server

sy-TZONE Date and Time, Time Difference to UTC Reference Time (*)

sy-TIMLO Local Time of Current User

sy-ZONLO Time Zone of Current User

(* ) e.g sy-tzone = "18000-" for 18000s less than UTC, currently between Europe and North America which is my case

Note: be careful, last week in Europe, we changed of hour (winter => 1h less)... whereas for instance in north America they did not yet changed...

regards.
