Hi,

[QA] SYS@QA_SALES2> select systimestamp from dual;

SYSTIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
01-JUL-15 06.59.57.609612 PM -04:00

[QA] SYS@QA_SALES2> connect abcded/xyz123@QA_SALES
Connected.
[QA] abcded@QA_SALES> select systimestamp from dual;

SYSTIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
01-JUL-15 06.00.43.178502 PM -05:00



Above 2 select are on same DB, 1 without @DB_name, and 2 with @DB_name,
it's a 2 node RAC set up,
OS and DB is on EST timeszone
but when client or app/tools like sql developer or toad it shows CST.
on furthur looking in to this, 1 file on Clsuster

/local/grid/oragrid/product/11.2.0.3/grid/crs/install
[DEV][oracle@Node2 install]$ cat s_crsconfig_host_name_env.txt
TZ=America/Chicago

Unix SA says this file is owned by root and have not been changed since years..
so what else could be the reason that with DB_Name or apps it shows CST.
do we have to look anything on services/listener etc..

Please advice.

These are almost always environment variable issues and/or TNS entries being mixed up.

Check that out.

Also, check HOST_NAME from v$instance to make sure you're ACTUALLY on the machine you think you are.

thanks for your, What ENV variables are you referring to
we didn't set anything now..
and what do you want me to look in TNS file, i see the entry for that DB and it's using scan-server/ip in Host section.

HOST_NAME in V$instance shows correct respective host/nodes on both the DB nodes.

ORACLE_SID for one

Check the entry in the tnsnames.ora is pointing at the right machine. Where yours is depends on OS you're using.
