Master DST + Time Zone Documentation for Release 12
[May 30, 2008 update: Corrected typo and Note number. Argh. TGIF...]
Time is out of joint; O cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right!
~ Shakespeare, Hamlet
When E-Business Suite Release 12.0.0 was originally released last year, it included the latest available support for all of the world time zones. Since then, a number of countries and regions have changed their time zone definitions, including:
| Country / Region | Effective Date |
| United States / Canada | 11-Mar-2007 |
| New Zealand / Chatham Islands | 30-Sep-2007 |
| Egypt | 7-Sep-2007 |
| Brazil | 14-Oct-2007 |
| Venezuela | 9-Dec-2007 |
| Argentina | 30-Dec-2007 |
| Australian Capital Territory New South Wales South Australia Victoria Tasmania | 6-Apr-2008 |
If you do business with these countries or others that have changed their time zone or Daylight Saving Time (DST) definitions recently, your E-Business Suite Release 12 environment may require patching.
