Hi,

Which OS are you using.

On AIX/Unix, you can check with command "date".

SAP takes the same time as of OS. So talk to OS people or you can check OS activity logs to find about the time changes.

Hi,

Time zone can be changed at SAP level and this reflects at database level.

Have look at these transactions.. Check your logs and see wthhr someone changed the time zones.(sm20/st03(n)/stad)

STZAC Maintain time zone act.in client

STZAD Disp.time zone activate in client

Also check note 198411
