Error description
The time zone rules application is currently doing the time zone conversion in the wrong direction. In the example below we are using Karachi as an example, there is a 10 hour difference between where the server is and Karachi. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Use an environment with application server running in EST (GMT -5). 1) Create a new Location, TIME. 2) Set status to OPERATING. 3) Associate time zone of Asia/Karachi. 4) Create a new Time Zone Rule. Process: PMWOGEN, Process Rule: LOCATIONS. 5) Create a new PM. Location: TIME, Target Start Time: 1 PM. 6) Set status to ACTIVE. 7) Generate Workorders. Uncheck "Use Frequency Criteria", and generate only 1. 8) Set user time zone to US/Eastern, log out, and log in. 8) Open the newly generated WO, and view the Target Start Date. Expected Result: Target Start Date has a time of 3:00 AM (1:00 PM - 10 hours). Current Erroneous Result: Target Start Date has a time of 11:00 PM (1:00 PM + 10 hours). There is a 10 hour difference between Asia/Karachi and US/Eastern. The time zone conversion is being performed in the wrong direction in this case. PRODUCT VERSION: Issue was reproduced against Maximo 7.6.0.9.
