- by Steven Chan
If your E-Business Suite Release 11i or 12
environment is configured to support Daylight Saving Time (DST) or
international time zones, it's important to keep your timezone
definition files up-to-date. They were last changed in July 2010 and
released as DSTv14. DSTv15 is now available and certified with Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12. Is Your Apps Environment Affected?When
a country or region changes DST rules or their time zone definitions,
your Oracle E-Business Suite environment will require patching if:Your Oracle E-Business Suite environment is located in the affected country or region ORYour
