Imports without time offset

Overview

This page explains how imported date-time values are stored when the incoming data has the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss and contains no additional time offset.


EU cluster

Selected time zone is different from the cluster time zone

Example 1


Daylight Saving Time

Standard Time

Import time

2021-06-20T10:00:00.000

2021-12-20T10:00:00.000

Selected time zone

America/Chicago (UTC-5)

America/Chicago (UTC-6)

Outcome time

2021-06-20 17:00:00.000 << UTC+2 - (UTC-5) = +7h

2021-12-20 17:00:00.000 << UTC+1 - (UTC-6) = +7h

Jamaica (UTC -5)

Outcome time

2021-12-20 16:00:00.000 << UTC+1 - (UTC-5) = +6h


Selected time zone is the same as the cluster time zone

Important information

  • Incoming date-time values are treated as “UTC” time zone, not as the selected time zone (Europe/Berlin for the EU cluster, and US/Eastern for the US cluster).

  • Incoming date-time values are transformed and saved by calculating the hour difference between UTC time zone offsets: ClusterTimezeone minus UTC+0.
