Wrong time in EBS /OAM Dashboard

[Linda]

Hi Erman!
Any hint on this  strange issue:
We upgraded 12.1.3-12.2.6 + 12c db

We dont use Timezones
Profiles:
Client Timezone Null
ENable Legal Entity Timezone No
Enable Timezone  Conversion No
Server Timezone (GMT+2) Amman

Concurrents requests/logs show correct current time  and its the same time as on apps and db server .
BUT If I go to the OAM, Application Dashboard and refresh the date on that page ( retrieved date or last updated date).
It shows me -2 hours...

Apps and DB Servers time is EET. The time is the same as in Amman local time..

If I set it Server Timezone to NUll, works correctly, but we need for ebs  functionality to have that profile it set.
¨
Any guesses where it takes from ? What I am missing here..

Thanks,Linda

Hi again:)
Ok, found it by eliminating what it can be :)
In user preferences, the regional settings was GMT+0 after the upgrade.
So, after I put to the correct one. WF system shows correct time.

It should have defaulted from the server I would say . Oracle likes to  exercize our brains :)

Have a great week! :)

Hi Linda,

Good that you found it.
Bytheway, fortuneatly, your system is not in Turkey's timezone . Most of my customers are in Turkey and Turkey changes the DST rules once in every year :), which means patching patching & patching...

thanks for writing your resolution to here. It may be benefitical to others.
Also, according to the following document: Client Timezone can be overruled on User or another level, either by setting manully or via Homepage -> Preferences -> Regional -> Timezone

If not doing so;

To have OAM display time in in the correct Time zone set the following values for profiles:

        Client Timezone : <set this to the preferred timezone>
        Server Timezone : <set this to the timezone of the server running the database>
        Enable Timezone Conversions : Yes
