Will OpenAccounts or eBIS have issues with the legislative changes for Daylight Savings Time (DST) instituted in 2007?
In order to reduce energy costs, the US government is changing the timeframe for daylight savings time. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin three weeks earlier, and will extend one week later, than in previous years. Microsoft has released information describing the impact on its operating systems, and patches will be required for some environments. UNIX users should contact their operating system provider to determine if similar DST patches will be required for their systems. Progress applications, such as OpenAccounts and eBIS, get the time and date from the operating system. Therefore, there should be no specific changes required for these applications. You must, of course, apply whatever patches are required for the operating systems supporting the databases, client systems, terminal services, app servers, and any IIS servers.
