  • DST caught me !

    Well, I updated all my Win servers, all our PC's, and the iSeries, and still got caught by the darn DST thing.

    Seems the iSeries created a new time zone, that moved the DST effective dates for 2007 and beyond. However, MS patch did not. Instead, it patched the current time zone, meaning it affected these 4 weeks retroactively for past years.

    So, who cares ? Well. we have IFS files that download to local clients (250MB) whenever the time stamp changes. Normally very little changes as we do new releases. However, move than 70% of these files had timestamps in the 3/10/2006 to 3/30/2006 time range (initial release). Now MS machines have adjusted the timestamps by 1 hour, but the iSeries did not.

    So now, all the clients are getting about 200MB downloads. For local users this isn't really a big deal, but remotes will take 3 - 10 hours each.

    Thanks M$. Infor XA users will probably all get hit by this.

    punches by one hour......... we have 5 companies running 3 shifts....add that up!

      Daylight savings times are banned in Saudi, prayer times are based on the track of the sun, and its constant.

      By Gum ! - Have I actually found a benefit in living here ?

        You may have !
        No offense, but I think I would prefer Arizona or Hawaii to escape DST.

                        Well, my snow almost melted yesterday at 68F. But we are expecting 1-2 feet tomorrow. FastOne - should I send you 20 inches for memory's sake ?

                          No .. they've already enshrined the 20" we had earlier. But, thanks!
