SQL server is 5 hour ahead of AOS server

Whenever a record is created in AX, the createddatetime field in AX is showing 5 hours less than SQL createddatetime field for the same Table and both are in the same timezone.

Thanks in advance,

Raziq

    The actual value in the database is always stored in UTC time. But what you see in AX forms and table browser is adjusted to your user's time zone. Not the AOS server timezone. So the same database value is shown differently to users across different timezones.

    Check "Preferred time zone" setting in user options -> General -> Miscellaneous. And also the time zone of the workstation of the user (where AX client is opened).

    What is in PST? Do you still have some open questions or problems?

    Yes, they can both be is PST but database doesn't store PST timezone. Database will store utc time, when you see that time in form, it adjust the time based on your timezone (PST) and that's what you see on screen.

    Google what is utc time and difference between PST timezone and that will help.

    Given AX works across the world, utc is the basis of storing date/times, you can even see different dates but all good when displayed in AX.

    Solution should be multiple AOS rather than customization in this area.
