Release Note

1. Preface
The United States has planned a change to its Daylight Savings Time (DST) observance
beginning in 2007. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that DST will start on the
second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. In 2007, the start and
stop dates will be March 11 and November 4, respectively. These dates are different from
previous DST start and stop dates. In 2006, the dates were the first Sunday in April (April 2,
2006) and the last Sunday in October (October 29, 2006).
Time manipulation functions at the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Operating System
(OS) level would function incorrectly if systems were not updated with later versions of JRE
and OS level patches.
This document outlines the specific steps to be taken for Cisco Interaction Manager to
accommodate the impact of the changes to DST in 2007.
