Siebel Global Deployment Guide > Deploying Siebel CRM with Global Time Zone > About Global Time Zone and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) > About UTC Data ConversionThis topic is part of About Global Time Zone and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). The global time zone feature converts date-time data to and from UTC. When Siebel applications are deployed using UTC, some date-time fields store data as UTC data. To support UTC conversion, applicable date-time field object definitions use the data type DTYPE_UTCDATETIME (instead of DTYPE_DATETIME), and applicable column object definitions use the physical type UTC Date Time (instead of Date Time). UTC conversion code is invoked by the Application Object Manager in user sessions where applicable, as described in this topic. NOTE: To be subject to UTC conversion, custom date-time fields you create must be date-time fields only, not date-only or time-only fields, and must use the previously noted data types. See also Enabling Custom Date-time Fields and Columns for UTC. There are some exceptions where date-time fields are not enabled for UTC. For more information or for help with configuring UTC, create a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support. Alternatively, you can phone Global Customer Support directly to create a service request or get a status update on your current SR. Support phone numbers are listed on My Oracle Support. Where the Universal Time Coordinated system preference is True, UTC conversion in runtime operations occurs as described in the following paragraphs:
