Siebel Global Deployment Guide > Deploying Siebel CRM with Global Time Zone > Setting the Database Server to UTCAs part of enabling UTC for a new or upgrade deployment, you can optionally set the operating system time of the database server for the Siebel database to a time zone based on GMT. NOTE: Deploying Siebel applications using UTC does not require you to set the operating system clock for the database server computer or operating system instance to UTC (a GMT time zone without DST), as described here. This task is optional. See also Guidelines for Both UTC and Non-UTC Deployments. The specific method of setting the system time to UTC on the database server depends on the operating system you are using. Many operating systems have a time zone setting called UTC or something similar. Other systems have time zone options described as Greenwich Mean Time without daylight savings time (the equivalent of UTC). NOTE: Some databases, such as Oracle Database, provide listener programs which can be run on other computers or operating system instances than where the database is installed. If you set the system clock on the database server computer or operating system instance to UTC, then it is recommended to also set the time to UTC where the listener programs are installed. To set the database server computer or operating system instance to use UTC in Windows
To set the database server computer or operating system instance to use UTC in UNIX Use the system-level time zone unless you need to have a different time zone for a particular purpose. In this case, set the time zone at the shell level by following the vendor documentation for your operating system. |
