EnergyCAP Enterprise and Daylight Savings Time

Question: Is EnergyCAP Enterprise affected by the change in Daylight Savings Time (DST)?

Answer: No.

Further Explanation:

• In the EnergyCAP Enterprise LAN and Rich/Web Clients, the time is relevant for interval data. However, the interval data Timestamp is either defined in the Import File or manually entered.
• In the EnergyCAP Enterprise LAN and Rich/Web Clients, any date/timestamp written to the database, such as when a database record was modified, is determined by the system date/time.
• The LAN Client does not use Java, so there is no need to apply a DST correcting patch.
• The EnergyCAP Online version does use Java to present the Crystal Reports for any browser other than IE (Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc.). It may also use Java to present Crystal Reports in IE, if this option is set in the configuration file. The change in DST should not have any impact, as you are viewing a report whose information has been determined on the server that is not affected by Java.
• The EnergyCAP Online version also uses Java as part of the control to allow the user to select the meters/places for Charting. The change in DST should not have any impact, as the Tree Control simply displays data that is passed to it from the server, which does not use Java to form the data.
