Latest DSTv11 Timezone Patches Available for E-Business Suite
For reasons mysterious to me, world governments apparently like to change their timezones on a regular basis. If your E-Business Suite Release 11i or 12 environment has been configured to support Daylight Saving Time (DST) or international time zones, it's important that you keep your timezone definition files up-to-date. They were last changed in February 2009, and they've been updated once again: DSTv11 is now available and certified with the E-Business Suite.
Latest DSTv10 Timezone Patches Available for E-Business Suite
I surmise that career politicians and government bureaucrats have good reasons for changing their countries' timezones. There must be some tangible benefit of doing it, given how frequently they like to do this. So, here we go again, with yet-another round of international timezone changes for your E-Business Suite environments.
Is Your Environment Affected?
When a country or region changes DST rules or Time Zones, your Oracle E-Business Suite environment will require patching if:
- Your Oracle E-Business Suite environment is located in the affected country or region OR
- Your Oracle E-Business Suite environment is located outside the affected country or region but you conduct business or have customers or suppliers in the affected country or region.
