Worried management is asking verification that UV & RedBack will be ok
with the upcoming savings time change to the start & end dates. But I
don't see any statement to that effect.
I don't think see how it would be a problem inherent in U2, since dates
and times are resolved by the OS.
The only place I think they'd possibly have a chance to screw it up
would be under transaction log restores or data replication. Maybe
RedBack, when figuring out how old a request from a web client is.
IBM's main support page, www-306.ibm.com/software/data/u2/support/ , has
this:
Flash 14 Nov, 2006: Impact of Changes to Daylight Savings Time
(DST) in U.S. and Canada
(
www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=686&context=SSKJMP&dc=D600&uid=swg212
49374&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en )
which says that u2 & web de clients should be ok, even though the java
behind it has time zone issues.
"IBM U2 Web DE and IBM U2 data server Clients currently ship with
older versions of the JRE . No issues exist with the U2 Clients or U2
Web DE as they do not call time functions."
One might think silence on the subject of the servers, RedBack, etc.
implies that the rest are ok. It doesn't. Unless the title "Impact of
Changes to Daylight Savings Time (DST) in U.S. and Canada" is taken to
mean ALL impact.
Does anyone else have nervous managers to appease?
Has anyone figured out where they are going to put all that daylight
that they'll be saving for those extra few weeks. I am going to put it
in with the whales that my wife has been saving.
