    We are in a 9.0 Windows 2003 sp1 EVT and have the following versions of java and Websphere.

    Websphere 6.0.2.1 I see a patch available but realy don't see a requirement for 6.0.2.17

    Java 1.4.2_11 meets DST requirements but latest version is 1.4.2_13

    We also have LBI installed and Business Objects has patches but reluctant to apply non recommended Lawson updates.

    I have put a case into Lawson and got "see your 3rd-party vendors for your answers."

    Any comments greatly appreciated.

      I think as long as the OS time is correct, everything should run just fine (or same as it does during normal DST change). The only thing that I can imagine would be affected is the recurring jobs (or report scheduler for LBI), but I don't think Lawson has any code in it to handle DST change for those anyway.

      I can't say that I've ever tested it, nor heard anything about people having DST-related problems with recurring jobs being missed during the "spring forward" or running jobs >1x during "fall back", but that's a possibility I guess.

      I'm curious--as you are--to hear from some others...
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        FYI Lawson just posted required updates yesterday.

        Third part software needs upgrading to cater for the changes to Daylight Saving Time in the USA.

        Description

        The date on which Daylight Savings Time begins and ends in the USA changing in 2007 due to legislation brought in by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
        This means that on March 11, 2007 and November 4, 2007, the Daylight Savings Time will be changed as opposed to the previous dates of April 2, 2007 and October 29, 2007.
        The version of JRE used on client by LRO products needs upgrading to 1.3.1_20.
        The version of JRE on the Server needs upgrading to Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX build ca142-20060421 (SR5) (JIT enabled: jitc))
        WebSphere also need upgrading to ND 6.0 Refresh Pack 2 Fix Pack 17 (ND 6.0.2.17)
        The LRO documentation needs updating to reflect these changes and the LRO products need testing to ensure they still function with these third party software changes.
        NOTE: Ensure that the PC OS (Windows 2000/XP) have the relevant patches applied and that the Unix Server TZ setting is configured for the New DST rules.
