Question

Hi. 

I have a requirement where I need to implement a timer which must only run based on the CET time zone starting from 7AM CET to 7PM CET. I'm not sure how to achieve this in outsystems. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Vijay

Hi vijay rajagopal,

The offset value for CEST is 2 hours so you can generate your time based on that 

7:00 AM to 7:00 PM CEST will be 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM UTC server time, So :

  1. If it is executed automatically then you can generate a scheduled execution time from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  2. If it is executed manually using the wake function then just add a condition at the start of your timer logic to check if the current DateTime is between 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM server time.

Be aware though that the offset with CET is only 1 hour, so assuming 2 hours isn't going to work starting the end of October. There are various assets in the Forge that accurately convert between timezones, which may be a better solution than hardcoding an offset.

Right, there is daylight saving. You can use the timezone component to get the offset data 

Some of them are below

time-zone

time-zone-service
