Summary :
This SAP Note addresses an issue where the SAP System determines the current time incorrectly due to improper local date, time, and time zone settings in the operating system. It emphasizes the importance of correctly setting these parameters across application servers and databases. Solutions include adjusting these settings appropriately and verifying with supplied reports (TZCUSTHELP for analysis and TZCUMSTDISP for data display). The Note advises system shutdown before time adjustments to circumvent potential inconsistencies and provides guidance on handling daylight saving time changes.
