Subject: Re: ARS Report Creator's time problem on queries

Kelly and Dave,
Our server admins decided to setup our servers in GMT.  We think it is
because they wouldn't have to worry about day light savings time bugs,
but that is just our conjecture.  We did a test today and when the
server was switched to EST (the time zone our users are in), then we
think the problem went away (still being tested). 

Dave, can you send us the BMC bug number that you are working under.
We are talking to BMC also and this would help them consolidate their
efforts. 

Maybe the fact that several of us have the same problem, will convince
BMC to fix the problem in 6.3 instead of recommending upgrading (their
usual line).

Subject: Re: ARS Report Creator's time problem on queries

Hello Mark and Kelly,

We are experiencing the same problem with our installation of Remedy ARS
6.3 running MidTeir 6.3.  Our database is SQL2000.  The only difference
is that we are showing a 5 hour discrepancy.  This is explainable due to
the fact that our Remedy server is running in the Central Standard Time.

We have a BMC Support ticket on this problem and BMC Support stated it
was unlikely that it would be fixed in Version 6.3 and suggested that we
upgrade to MidTier 7.0.1.  As you mentioned before, this problem only
effects users running reports from the MidTier that are in different
time zones (e.g. User in EST while server is in CST).  What time zones
are your users and MidTier in? Our problem occurs while our users are in
EST and our MidTier is in CST.

Thank You for Your Posting,
Dave Davis

We have the same issue when running reports.  This started happening at
a client site after the time zone patch was installed (we believe--or
agents were paying more attention, as you mentioned).  This has not yet
been resolved that I am aware of.

Subject: ARS Report Creator's time problem on queries


Listers,
After we applied the Daylight Saving time patches, we started to pay
more attention to time zone issues.  Note, I don't think the DST patch
caused this, but caused us to look into time fields more closely.  We
found that for report run from Report Creator form, any queries against
date fields weren't adjusted for difference between our zone (EST) and
GMT.  The Report Creator form is used for running Crystal Reports within
ARS, or running ARS reports and Crystal Reports thru the MidTier.
Whither we ran Crystal Reports or ARS reports from the web, or Crystal
Reports from the client; we got the same results.  If I ran the same
query in User tool the query ran correctly.  All the tools display the
dates correctly in the reports or on the forms.

To investigate this, I turned on SQL logging and repeated the same
queries from the Report Creator and from User search.  The Select
statements vary within the where clause in the constant used against the
date column.  The difference is 14400 seconds or 4 hours.  That is the
difference between us and GMT.

Our systems people are looking into time zone on the server, but I am
doubtful this is the problem.  However, I don't have a good culprit to
pursue.  Anyone seen this before or have a clue as to where to look to
resolve this.
