Setting a Session Variable for User Time Zone in OAS 2025 DV
Dhaval Parikh Stantec
Rank 6 - Analytics & AI Lead
Hi all,
We are currently using Oracle Analytics Server 2025 (DV) and want to understand how time zones are handled at the session level
Questions?
- In OAS 2025 DV, can we set a session variable that dynamically captures the user’s time zone (e.g., based on browser locale, user profile, or authentication context)?
- If yes:
- How is this configured (administration, RPD, or DV)?
- Is it available for use in DV data flows / calculations?
- Does it respect Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions automatically?
- If not, what is the recommended pattern for ensuring time zone–aware date/time calculations and visualizations in DV?
We are specifically looking for a method that does not require hard-coding time offsets per user but rather uses a variable accessible at runtime.
Thanks in advance for insights.
