Hi forum!

So we recently found ourselves in need of converting times from user's local time to UTC and other way around in Java script web resource.

To convert time to local time from UTC we used LocalTimeFromUtcTime function in WebAPI like following:

contoso.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/LocalTimeFromUtcTime(TimeZoneCode=@TimeZoneCode,UtcTime=@UtcTime)?@TimeZoneCode=47&@UtcTime=2021-05-05T00:00:00.000Z

and it worked perfectly fine.

But trying to do the opposite conversion we stuck with an issue. The request:

contoso.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/UtcTimeFromLocalTime(TimeZoneCode=@TimeZoneCode,LocalTime=@LocalTime)?@TimeZoneCode=47&@LocalTime=2021-05-05T00:00:00.000Z

returns the error response:

{

"error": {

"code": "0x8006088a",

"message": "Resource not found for the segment 'UtcTimeFromLocalTime'."

}

Could you please help us with this, is UtcTimeFromLocalTime not supported yet in WebAPI, or we use it in not correct way?

Hello,

Check the description of the function - docs.microsoft.com/.../utctimefromlocaltime - it's described as collection bound (don't ask me, I'm clueless).

Here is what I was able to compose that bypassed the issue you experienced:

/api/data/v9.2/resourcegroups/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.UtcTimeFromLocalTime(TimeZoneCode=@TimeZoneCode,LocalTime=@LocalTime)?@TimeZoneCode=47&@LocalTime=2021-05-05T00:00:00.000Z

But my example has issues with datetime format.

Ah, I didn't notice that, now I get the format error too. So new challenge: what format does it want?

But, yeah, the initial question is answered.

Thank you!
