PCO 2.2 TimeZone Issue

[Former Member]

Greetings All,

I have a PCO Connection to a ODBC Datasource mapped to a IP21 data source.

The IP21 data source is set to CST(GMT-5).

I'm trying to validate for our transtion from 11.5 UDS to 12.2 PCo.  So I run the same query against the same datasource on both systems.

The data I get back from 11.5 is correctly dated:

DATETIME             NAME               QUALITY   VALUE   AgeMn

11/09/2012 10:23:13  Tag1               -1.00     6.67    0.00

11/09/2012 10:22:43  Tag2               -1.00     0.00    0.00

11/09/2012 10:22:43  Tag3               -6.00     0.00    0.00

The data I get back from 12.2 is not correctly dated:

DATETIME             NAME               QUALITY   VALUE   AgeMn

11/09/2012 05:24:33  Tag1               -1.00     6.67    0.00

11/09/2012 05:24:23  Tag2               -1.00     0.00    0.00

11/09/2012 05:23:13  Tag3               -6.00     0.00    0.00

Something in the process seems to be assuming the data from the IP21 server is GMT and needs to be adjusted to CST(GMT-5)

I've tryed adjusting the Checkbox in PCo to multiple checked/unchecked for the "Convert Server Date and Time to UTC".

No Good.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank You in Advance,

Check the user settings in NW's UME for the timezone to see if that is causing an adjustment.

That's a thought, I just checked it and my user TZ wasn't set (blank) so I set it. 

Retried the query.  Still giving same results.

Hi Dennis,

That will probably solve some issues that you would have run into down the road in other areas. 

Is your user the same as the one for the connection between MII and PCo?
