Hi, There is a new timezone data update (2016g) from IANA: [https://www.iana.org/time-zones](https://www.iana.org/time-zones) I couldn’t find the updated timezone packages for SLES. Has the timezone package updates been released? ---

If this is the update for Turkey moving to its own always-on-DST timezone for the whole year, the updated timzone package should be out very soon, if not already. In the meantime, if you want the build to test, contact support via a Service Request (SR) and they can get you the PTF which other customers are also using. – Good luck.

Note also the above are not the latest timezone-2016f patches as there are version 0.32.1 packages available. If you have 64-bit SLES11 SP3 LTSS or SLES11 SP3 for SAP Applications then you should simply be able to install these via “zypper up timezone” provided your server is registered and has access to the relevant update channels. If it is not subscribed then you can download the files from [download.suse.com/patch/finder](http://download.suse.com/patch/finder) then use “zypper in /path/to/\*.rpm”. No reboot should be required. ## HTH.

Not sure which version or architecture of SLES you have, but here’s the timezone package for SLES 12 SP1 x86\_64: [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=NaLz5XQBalg~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=NaLz5XQBalg~) There are similar builds for other architectures per SUSE’s patch notification e-mail today. – Good luck.
