Hi @User_MLN1R,

Welcome to the Oracle Analytics Community.

Can you please take a look into the following post?

In OTBI How to set TIMEZONE using Data format setting properties? — Oracle

And follow the suggestions from Dimple-Nagesh (please see below) to see if it resolve your issue.

Can you please confirm the values of the following as Admin user:

Login to OSC --> Username --> Set preferences --> Regional --> TimeZone --> Check what is the value set (attach the screenshots of the same)

Login to BI --> username --> Myaccount --> General Preferences --> Timezone --> Should be greyed out and should show the same value as in OSC (attach the screenshots of the same)

Login to BI --> username --> Myaccount --> BI Preferences --> Timezone --> Should show the same value as in OSC (attach the screenshots of the same)


If all the above are not same, please set it to the same value and run the Scheduled process "Refresh Denormalised Time Dimension Table for BI"


Login to OSC --> Navigator --> Scheduled Process --> Dropdown --> search --> Refresh Denormalised Time Dimension Table for BI" --> OK --> Submit.

Wait until success, then logout and clear your browser cache, relogin and restest the issue

Hope this help.

Thank you.

@User_MLN1R , Welcome to the Oracle Analytics Community!

As per my understanding, OTBI doesn’t have a native “automatic DST adjustment” functionality. Hope above suggestion works for you. Otherwise, you might need to explore system session variables such as TIMEZONE, DATA_TZ, and DATA_DISPLAY_TZ. Here is the Oracle OTBI documentation for more details. Hope it helps!
