FO form data

pastedimage1677836150902v1.png

I need same dates but when running following code in runnable class

select hRMRecruitingTable
            where hRMRecruitingTable.hrmRecruitingId == 'FA'
            && hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime >= DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());

        info(strFmt("%1, %2" ,hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime 
            ,DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone())));

I got 2 different dates

    That's the expected behaviour. One value is in UTC and one in user preferred timezone. They'll be the same only if the current timezone offset of user preferred timezone is zero.

    I resolved the issue by using following techniques:

    1:Functional

    Set Time Zone

    OMLegalEntities

    SysUserSetup

    2:Technical

    utcdatetime currentDateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();

select hRMRecruitingTable
            where hRMRecruitingTable.hrmRecruitingId == 'FA'
            && hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime >= currentDateTime;

        info(strFmt("%1, %2" ,hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime 
            ,DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(hRMRecruitingTable.kSPEndDateTime, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone())));

    Set FormDateTimeControl property -> Timezone Preference: User
