Scope

Level: Environment

Description

Sets the TimeZone in which the DateTime fields are stored in the Database. Depending on the value set, it enables TimeZone Support.


Values

  • Undefined

The TimeZone of DateTime attributes is Unknown. No conversion from or to the Current TimeZone is made.

This is the default value for Knowledge Bases converted from previous versions in order to preserve compatibility.

 

  • GMT/UTC

All DateTime data type attributes are stored in UTC. Conversion from and to the Current TimeZone is automatic.

This is the default value for new Knowledge Bases.

 

  • Application Server

All DateTime data type attributes are stored in the application server's TZ. Conversion from and to the Current TimeZone is automatic.

Use this value if you are converting your application from previous GeneXus versions and you positively know that the actual data in the database is stored in the application server's timezone. You get TimeZone support without having to convert all DateTime values in your Database.
