Environment

  • SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)
  • SAP Adaptive Server Enterpsise For Business Suite
  • SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Cluster Edition

 This problem is very dependent on the version of the tzdata package installed on Linux. To check your installed package version run the following Linux command:

rpm -qa tzdata

This should give some output like:

tzdata-2011g-1.el6.noarch

The problem is known to occur in Russia with versions 2014f, 2014g and 2014h and does not occur with 2014e. Chile has seen problems with certain versions also.
