Hi Chen,
The title is saying "Daily Saving Time". I think it should say "Daylight Saving Time".
Best regards,
Rama Nalam

FYI, note 403311.1 mentions an 11i patch 5630108 in part 4C. Confirmed via SR, that patch isn't going to be available for another 2 weeks... "Patch 5630108 is targeted to be available on January 11, 2007".

Kevin,Quite right -- that's what I was alluding to in the original posting. I would advise a certain degree of caution around taking projected release dates as gospel, though, since our projections tend to be more accurate in hindsight than the converse... ;-)Regards,Steven

The jinitiator note id 401155.1 seems to be incorrect . I opened a TAR 6054435.993 , they did mention that note id 401155.1 will be revised but it is not yet revised. Can we know whats the real answer ? do we or dont we need to upgrade jinitiator to 1.3.1.26 ?
Regards,
Nandita

Nandita, It appears that Note 401155.1 was published by a group outside of ATG Development. We're still working to get formal validation from the JInitiator Development team on this issue. In the meantime, I've retracted Note 401155.1 to prevent further confusion. I'll post final confirmation on this as soon as possible.Regards,Steven

Nandita,Confirmed: Note 401155.1 was published in error. My apologies for the confusion; we're examining our internal processes to ensure that this type of error doesn't recur.In general, Jinitiator upgrades to the latest release are always recommended, since newer releases include a variety of security, stability, and performance-related fixes.However, a Jinitiator upgrade is not required for DST 2007 compliance.Thanks very much for bringing this to our attention. Good luck with your implementation.Regards,Steven
