Stephane:
Yes I have seen this type of operation. I helped manage a global
services database environment for Oracle Financials where the databases
needed to be started/stopped/etc. in that country's specific time zone. All
startup files, log files, etc. had to recognize their zone. We created a
new version of the oratab file and modified the existing one to facilitate
this process.
Changing the oratab file is not condoned by Oracle as they only use parts
of the file. As far as your problems with OEM, that is definitely a bug in
the string parser used by the intelligent agent of OEM.
Thank You

The oratab is provided by Oracle Corp.
We created our own oratab file to handle more
parameters.
