CMS Daylight Savings Time change

[dsldefinity]

I was wondering if people are patching their CMS to update daylight savings time? I was under the impression that all of the time in the CMS reports are delivered from the switch, is this correct? I woulud think that the only real use of CMS time is to run "Timetables" like nightly backups.

you are correct, it's easier to just manually change the time 4 times a year, then to upgrade the patches for the CMS as well as the solaris.

Anything that uses a cron routine will be affected. If you use a Work Force Management (WFM), such as IEX or Blue Pumpkin, not changing the clock can cause problems.

So what the consensus from our veteran and seasoned programmers.

What about CMS if it's tying into Blue Pumpkin, IC and OA. I would thing I almost have no choice but to upgrade?

versus manually changing or would you say manually changing is less intrusive and worth taking the time to do manually?

HI I am new to the site.I have changed the DST rule on the Definity which is no problem, but am unsure about the CMS (running R12)Avaya wanted to charge me $4000. to do this so I decided I try it myself and have downloaded the required patches from Avaya, and am now second guessing myself as I have not done this before. Have any of you installed these patches on the CMS? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
