This package provides constants that you override to set the time zone used by cookies. Cookies use expiration dates defined in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)). If you are not on GMT, you can specify your time zone using one of these two constants. If your time zone is recognized by Oracle, which you can determine by consulting Chapter 3 of the Oracle7 Server SQL Reference under "SQL Functions", you can directly specify it using dbms_server_timezone; otherwise, you can use dbms_server_gmtdiff to give the offset of your time zone from GMT.
Change the values shown below and reload the package.
- dbms_server_timezone constant varchar2(3) := `PST'
Text string abbreviation for your timezone.
- dbms_server_gmtdiff constant number := NULL
Number of hours your timezone diverges from Greenwich Mean Time. A positive number if your timezone is ahead of GMT; otherwise negative.
