Hi Peter
I am sure that applying the DST patches to your server does not alter any historical data stored in your database. The issue is with how the epoch time in secs is converted and displayed by the client. So, was the client you were running this test through patched for DST changes??

The Create dates on the tickets on our development and production were the same. I also verified that the OS of our development server was patched. Our platforms are the following: AR Server - Windows 2003 Mid Tier - Linux Java 1.5.04 Thanks Peter Lammey ESPN MIT Technical Services & Applications Management 860-766-4761 _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Cleereman (IT) Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: 6.3 Patch 20 - Issues with years prior to 2007 ** Peter, Tickets from March 12th - April 2nd 2006 and from October 29th - November 5th of 2006 all seem to be off by an hour. All other tickets outside of those ranges seem to be accurate. Frederick, Each of the patches you asked about was applied prior to the Remedy patches being applied.

I've just installed Patch 20 for both, and am in the process of doing some preliminary testing. Remedy seems to be applying the revised schedule for 2007 for earlier years as well. For example, it seems to be seeing March 20th 2007 as Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is correct. But it seems to see March 20th 2006 as EDT as well. In 2006 EDT did not go into effect until April 2nd, so it should see that date as Eastern Standard Time (EDT). This is an issue for us, as we do a lot of historical reporting. Has anyone else running 6.3 Patch 20 (or 7.1 Patch 1) noticed any problems with Daylight Saving time calculations for 2006 or prior years?
