2535959 - Dump ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME occurs, what should be analyzed

Symptom

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Runtime Errors         ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME                                                        
Date and Time

Short Text                                                                                        
    The local time of the application server is not correct.                                      

 

What happened?                                                                                    
    Error in the SAP kernel.                                                                      
                                                                                                  
    The current ABAP "SAPMSSY6" program had to be terminated because the                          
    ABAP processor detected an internal system error.                                             
Error analysis                                                                                    
    The ABAP interpreter always determines the local time relative to the                         
    database time. To do so, it obtains both the time of the application                          
    server and that of the database at regular intervals. The times must                          
    meet specific plausibility criteria - for example, the time of the time                       
    stamp obtained second cannot be earlier than that of the time stamp                           
    obtained first.                                                                               
                                                                                                  
    In this case, the plausibility criteria for the local time of the                             
    application server were not met.                                                              
                                                                                                  
    Earlier time stamp: "See former similar dump: <Time> "                      
    Later time stamp: "See former similar dump: <Time> "                        
How to correct the error                                                                          
    It is possible that the time of the application server was set forward                        
    or back in the running system.                                                                
    Ensure that the times and time zones of the application server and                            
    database server match and restart the system.                                                 

In the same time, dump CALL_FUNCTION_NO_GUI_BUFFER.
