Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Users encountered multiple incorrect date/time data issues in exported and printed query results. 1) During Daylight Saving Time, exported, printed, base ClearCase integration-related date/time data was incorrectly displayed 2) When using the LONG date format, the timezone identifier shown in these operations was shown as the GMT offset value, for example "GMT-4:00"
Problem conclusion
A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.1 1) Hours and minutes are now correctly reflected in the exported query results, printed data and when using the base ClearCase integration. 2) When using the LONG date format, the timezone identifier shown in these operations is the correct abbreviated timezone identifier based on the user's locale, instead the GMT offset value, e.g. "EST" instead of "GMT-4:00". 3) A ClearQuest web client user's timezone ID and timezone offset are now available to hooks via the session variables "_CQ_WEB_TIMEZONE" and "_CQ_WEB_TZOFFSET".
