Summary
Symptom
The current time is determined incorrectly in the SAP System.
The time difference is usually displayed in the spool or in the status dialog box (in the 'System' -> 'Status' menu).
Other terms
Time difference, time zones, time, UTC timer, DST, time zone settings, time zone setting, time zone Customizing
Reason and Prerequisites
These time differences very often occur after the time change or by the incorrect Customizing of the time zones.
Solution
Generally note that all systems should use the same time zone. That is, both the R/3 system and the operating system should use the same system time zone and the same daylight saving time rule.
In addition, note that the UTC timer ('Universal Time Coordinated UTC') must not be changed. The UTC timer counts the seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, Greenwich Mean Time. With a correct setting, it contains the same value at the same time in all hosts, regardless of their location.
First check the settings using the analysis report from note 481835.
Check the settings in the operating system (you can use the values from the analysis report to help you here: the 'SY-TZONE' values includes the difference for UTC without taking into consideration the daylight saving time).
The analysis report displays the 'SY-DAYST' value to show you whether the operating system currently considers a daylight saving time rule or not.
To check the value of the UTC timer, copy the 'ZZUTCTIMER' analysis report from the correction instructions and execute it. The report should return the current UTC time/date as a result.

- 1. Check the system time zone
Check the settings in the operating system (you can use the values from the analysis report to help you here: the 'SY-TZONE' values includes the difference for UTC without taking into consideration the daylight saving time).
- 2. Check the summer time settings
The analysis report displays the 'SY-DAYST' value to show you whether the operating system currently considers a daylight saving time rule or not.
- 3. Check the UTC timer
To check the value of the UTC timer, copy the 'ZZUTCTIMER' analysis report from the correction instructions and execute it. The report should return the current UTC time/date as a result.
