Parameter
zdate/DSTswitch_contloctime
Short text
Activates/deactivates “continuous” system time
Parameter Description
When transferring from summer to winter time, an hour takes place twice. The SAP system can only run for this time as a whole or in part under certain conditions. If it is running, this profile parameter specifies how the system time (SY-UDATUM, SY-TUZEIT) behaves. If the parameter is set to ‘off’, the ‘doubled hour’ is also displayed twice. If the parameter is set to ‘on’, the doubled hour is ‘expanded’, so that no doubled times can arise, that is, for example:
off: 2:00, 2:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00.
on : 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00
NOTE: This profile parameter must always consistently have the same value on all servers. If it is changed dynamically, it must be changed on all servers simultaneously.
