KB18250 - Daylight Saving Time Changes - Spring 2009
Environment
- BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 4.1 Service Pack 3 (4.1.3) and later
- BlackBerry® Device Software 4.1.0.344 to 4.1.0.385 (except BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.347) and 4.2 and later
Overview
The Spring 2009 DST update includes all of the previous time zone changes that have been released by BlackBerry as well as the following updated time zones and DST dates:
| Pakistan | Islamabad (+5) | April 15, 2009 | October 31, 2009 | Impact of not installing the DST Spring 2009 update
For the correct date and time to display on your BlackBerry smartphone after the DST dates change in April 2009, you must install the DST Spring 2009 update. If you do not install the update, your BlackBerry smartphone might not display the correct date and time.
Prerequisites for installing the DST Fall 2008 update
To install the Spring 2009 DST update, your BlackBerry smartphone must be running one of the following BlackBerry Device Software versions. If the version of BlackBerry Device Software that is running on your BlackBerry smartphone is not listed below, you must first upgrade to the latest version of BlackBerry Device Software available for your BlackBerry smartphone.
- BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.344 to 4.1.0.385 (except for BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.347)
- BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0.35 to 4.2.0.92
- BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0.92 and later
Installing the Spring 2009 DST update from the BlackBerry smartphone
The BlackBerry smartphone user can navigate to, download, and apply the Spring 2009 DST update.
From the BlackBerry smartphone, click on the appropriate link to download the Spring 2009 DST update:
Installing the Spring 2009 DST update on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
To install the Spring 2009 DST update on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, complete one of the following options:
Option 1 - Script patch
The script patch can be used to upgrade all of the BlackBerry smartphone user accounts on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server at one time without the need to send any additional .cod files. This script patch is only available for BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 and later. Previous BlackBerry Device Software versions do not support the synchronization of the Time Zone database using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Note: This Option is only supported with BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 or later. BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.344 to 4.1.0.385 (except for BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.347) should proceed to Option 2 - Time zone update cod patch method.
Select the appropriate script patch for your version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server, attached to this article.
- TimeZoneUpdateSpring2009-BES4.1+.zip
- TimeZoneUpdateSpring2009-BES5.0.zip
For instructions on how to install the Spring 2009 DST patch on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, see the information for your platform of BlackBerry Enterprise Server:
- BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft® Exchange
- BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM® Lotus® Domino®
- BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Novell® GroupWise®
Note: After the update has been deployed, users will have to manually change to the time zone on the BlackBerry smartphone to ‘Islamabad – New (+5)’
Option 2 - Time zone update .cod patch
BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrators can send this patch to BlackBerry smartphones instead of using the script patch. For instructions on how to wirelessly deploy the BlackBerry smartphone patches from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, see KB03748.
Note: This is not required for BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 or later if the script patch (Option 1) has been applied to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Select the appropriate time zone update cod patch for your version of BlackBerry Device Software, attached to this article.
- 4.1.0+ Patch.zip for BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.344 through 4.1.0.385 (except for BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.347)
- 4.2.0+ Patch.zip for BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0.35 through 4.2.0.73 and later (including Blackberry Device Software 4.3.0, 4.5.0, 4.6.0, and 4.7.0)
Note: Microsoft has changed its latest update to CDO.dll to now include the Dynamic DST updates. This change allows the CDO to retrieve time zone rules from the Windows registry, correcting time zone interoperability issues that were encountered in the past. For more information, search for article 945835 on the Microsoft Support web site.
