DST time change for global companies

[Former Member]

We are curious to hear how other companies are handling the DST time changes in spring and fall especially if they are global and operating in multiple time zones.

Do you set servers to UTC/GMT?

And set SAP systems to UTC?

And let users set their local time zone?

Would that mean we don't have to worry about the fall and spring time change any more because UTC doesn't change? (That would be nice!)

TIA,

Hi Margie

Is there a specific issue you're facing?

Usually it's not a problem whatever the system time zone is, for users their operations take time stamping from user time zone set in SU01. Daylight saving was a problem once, 2 years back when the law was modified. Those applications which user end time stamping plays important role, like ESS/MSS, had an offset because of inconsistent time zone. And it was correct by several notes released quickly.
