How to adjust timestamps related to ARIS document storage

In previous ARIS versions, ARIS document storage stored timestamps, for example Creation time and Update time, referred to documents and folders in local server time and without any time zone information. If data was moved between ARIS servers or if a tenant was restored from a backup file, timestamps were likely adjusted using a wrong time offset.

Since ARIS 10 SR6, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is mandatory for timestamps stored by ARIS document storage. Because time zone information in existing data is not available, the timestamps of existing documents and folders cannot be adjusted automatically. After the update to ARIS 10 SR6, you must manually adjust timestamps. In a Windows-based installation with local time UTC-2, for example, use the y-admintool.bat command-line tool and, considering UTC offset of your ARIS servers, enter the following:

y-admintool.bat -s https://localhost -t default adjustTimestamps -offset "-120" -u system -p manager

If you have restored a tenant from backup file created with ARIS 10 SR5 or earlier, you must adjust the timestamps as well.
