Applies to:

Oracle Transportation Management - Version 6.4.1 to 6.4.2 [Release 6.4]

Turkey is not using DST anymore (since late 2016) and it's on ST which makes its zone offset time 3 hours

The client runs, select sysdate,utc.get_offset('2017', '11', '08', '08', '00', '00', 'Asia/Istanbul') TURKEY_OFFSET,utc.get_offset('2017', '11', '08', '08', '00', '00', 'Europe/Rome') ITALY_OFFSET from dual;

obtains the following results:

ITALY_OFFSET = 1 --> CORRECT
TURKEY_OFFSET = 2 --> NOT CORRECT
