Former Member

Dear Experts,

Our SAP server is located in Germany but we are located in US.We always having the confusion/problem during background job set up timing due to different time zones & changes in day light saving time.

My question is that is there any way we can set up SAP background jobs with reference to system local time (i.e US time) instead of Germany time ?

responses would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

RK

Hi,

The server date time and timezone will be used to display the job details in T-Codes for job say SM37 etc.

My doubts are:

Are you trying to set the schedule time as per germany(EST) based on say whatever user gives as local US time?You can always change timezones in program to display in US time from German time and vice versa. can you be a bit more specfic?

Cheers,

HI Arindam,

Thanks for your response.

All we are doing for instance the user asked us to set up job every day @ 6 PM,US EST, then we are calculating manually this US local time to German time , which would be 10 PM Germany time, so we are setting up job with Germany time of 10 PM.

Now we are looking for any way we can set up job in US local time, instead of doing any math.

Thanks,

RK

Hi,

Guess you always have to set up jobs as per server time and if you really want to avoid the maths just look up in web many websites will tell you the time in US. Also you can write programs to do this calculation but feel that would be too much of a step for just tife-offset calculation. MS Excel would help too
