Incorrect timestamp in Alert Emails using Alert Consumer Job V2

[Former Member]

Hi PI Gurus,

I have created Email Alert in SAP PI single stack using CBMA using below link:

Emails for Alerts are working fine as expected.

But Issue I am facing here is incorrect timestamp is appearing in Alert Emails, we have used India Time Zone and have checked the same at OS level.

Example Below : Alert got generated at 8 AM today but time appearing is 02:30:35Z

Hi,

Email Alert from SAP PI.

There is an alert created at 2016-01-08T02:30:35Z on SAP PI Production System.

Hello,

I see similar problem but no solution so far. Can someone from SAP help us on making sure it follows system time-stamp and not UTC/GMT? I am looking for CST time-stamp.

Thank you,

Siddhesh

Hi Siddhesh,

I think you need to log a call to SAP for this, i have tested the below small program, i think SAP has done similar thing in their code.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class DateTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
  dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
  System.out.println(dateFormat.format(new Date(new Date().getTime())));
  }
}

Hi Sarvjeet

The suffix Z basically means that the time is specified in UTC/GMT time. Since the difference between India and UTC/GMT is 5.5 hours, the timestamp is correct.

Thanks Eng for your valuable feedback,

Can you please let me know how to change this to India Time Zone ?

I'm guessing you are using the variable $timestamp$ in your email template. Honestly, I don't think it's possible to change it since the template doesn't allow you to do any transformation etc. Maybe you can just add a few extra lines to indicate that it is UTC/GMT and mention the difference of time in the template.
