MashZone NextGen feed processing represents date values in an internal format that refers to the time zone. All text to date or date to text conversions also use the configured time zone, unless an explicit time zone is specified in values or formatting functions.
The time zone is configured in the mashzone.properties file located in the following directory.
<MashZone NextGen installation>/apache-tomcat/webapps/mashzone/WEB-INF/
Open the mashzone.properties file and specify the mashzone.feedprocessing.timezone property.
You can only use time zones that are compatible with the Java TimeZone.getTimeZone method. For more details, see the corresponding Java documentation.
Examples
The default value is UTC.
This setting introduces unified time zone handling throughout feed processing. Note that this setting applies to all feed processing operators created from MashZone NextGen 10.4. Operators in feeds and dashboards that were migrated or imported from MashZone NextGen 10.3 and earlier, will run in MashZone NextGen 10.3 compatibility mode with respect to time zones. These feeds and dashboards use time zones as in MashZone NextGen 10.3 and earlier, that is, the Runtime Info operator creates a shifted date, and some RAQL functions use the server's local time zone.
