Daylight saving time in Germany
I have a question about the
ending of the daylight saving
time here in Germany. I wonder how SAP and Oracle will react when going back one hour. Where are running
two HP-UX Servers for our
productive R/3 Instance. Do we need to shut down SAP?
Any help is welcome
Regards,
Wolfgang

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
The SAP recommendation is to shutdown the application. The system don't care because the internal time didn't change (it is only the interpretation of this time that change), but SAP/Oracle use a lot of gettimeofday(), so timestamps inside the databse can produce strange result.

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
is it possible to force the
time switching to be for example on friday. There is
file called tztab, in which the moment of changing of the local time is described. Does it make sense to change this file? I really don't need to work on Saturday night.
Bye

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
We shutdown the software + databases using cron (oracle+sybase+ingres) ore you make a script refering to the shutdown scripts in /sbin/init.d.

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
I'm not very familiar with cron jobs. Can someone tell me how to stop and the start sap in time with a cron. Is the cron referring to UTC or to local time?

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
Locate your shutdown scripts in /sbin/init.d
Make entry in crontab file like.
Sunday 27-10-2002 at 02.30.
30 02 27 10 * /sbin/init.d/oracle stop >> /dev/null 2>&1
Sunday 27-10-2002 at 03.30
30 03 27 10 /sbin/init.d/oracle start >> /dev/null 2>&1
Regards,
Robert-Jan.

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
in this case i would set the shutdown time to 2:59 and the startup to 3:01
This will shutdown the application just befor the timeshift. It will them be shutdown a second time when its 2:59 again. But this doesn't harm as the application is already down.
The gap between shutdown and startup will be 1 hour and 2 minutes. But the importent part is that there will be no duplicate timestamps.
Perhaps the application needs more time for a clean shutdown. Adjust the times to your needs.
Hope this helps
Regards Stefan

Re: Daylight saving time in Germany
You will not have any problem with Oracle as it handles file Datestamps internally and does not rely on the HP-UX Clock.
Dont lose too much sleep. :-)
