query? Timezones in BPM Decision Nodes -Hold CR until Schedules

[Martyn Houghton]

Can I just check what time zone is used when retrieving a date/time field from the request in the BPM?

The reason being is that we want to put a change request on hold until after it has been scheduled and until it is scheduled to be done. I am presuming the BPM works in UTC, so have used the Get Local Time node set to UTC and then using this to compare is the scheduled start date/time is greater than the local time.

If the BPM using the session time zone then this potentially may not be correct, given the session may be user interactive or operate as the system context.

Has anyone else come up with a method to check if a request is scheduled in the future?

Cheers

As you suggested all our operations should be working in UTC time and we'll format into locale adjusted times on the front end so comparisons in UTC should be correct.

Kind Regards,
