MashZone NextGen Repository Encoding and Timezone
Set the Repository Character Encoding
The character encoding for the MashZone NextGen Repository is defined when you create the database that will host the repository. To support international character sets, this should be set to UTF-8, or for some databases UTF-16.
Important: Because of known issues, artifact names and the IDs that are generated from these names are restricted to ASCII characters. The syntax and encoding names you must use are specific to each database. For more information, see:
Documentation for your database
And either:
Set the Repository Timezone or Offset
The default timezone that is used to record timestamps such as the created date and time for an artifact is the timezone for the host of the MashZone NextGen Repository. You can change the timezone used to save repository timestamps or set an offset so that repository timestamps are displayed in a different timezone:
Configure the display timezone in
MashZone NextGen Hubas an offset from UTC. Note that this does not affect the actual timezonerecorded in the
MashZone NextGen Repository.
This offset is defined in the repositoryTimezoneOffset property in web-apps-home/mashzone/hub/config.jsfile. This property is undefined by default.
Edit this JSON property, setting the number of minutes as a UTCoffset. For example, 300 sets this to Eastern Standard Timewhile -180 sets this to Arabic Standard Time.
Once the property is saved, restart the MashZone NextGen Server.
