For postedDate, balanceDate,..., the value is always a datetime with timezone. How does AggCat determine which timezone should be used? Does it depend on the certificate uploaded, or the location of the institution of the accounts or something else?
The timezone is always in PST.

I'm receiving a date from a node.js backend in flutter. The date is converted to the users timezone in node.js.
For some reason, flutter automatically converts it to utc. How can I receive the dateTime as is and not have flutter convert it?
Background: The way it works is flutter first sends a dateTime to the
backend already converted to utc so that it can be stored in the db in
utc. then anytime the backend sends back a date, it converts it to the
timezone the user was in when signing up. (not sure if this is a good
way of doing time conversion...)
UPDATE:
Seems like DateTime.parse always converts to utc... Any way to stop that behavior?
If you're using DateTime.parse, it says in the documentation that the way to handle the changing of time-zone is by providing an optional time-zone offset part in your date.
DateTime.parse("2020-09-21T14:00:00") // 2020-09-21 14:00:00.000
DateTime.parse("2020-09-21T14:00:00-1230") // 2020-09-22 02:30:00.000Z
Check out the documentation here https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/dart-core/DateTime/parse.html
Currently I am working with the HL7 and mirth part for the new appointment booking. So when I parse the HL7 data in mirth for SIU S12 request, I am getting the date in YYYYMMDDHHmmss fomat in SCH category.
Can any one have an idea about in which timezone it is coming in request? Is that come in the locale timezone from which the request is actually sent?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!
A few possibilities:
The time zone is local to the sender of the message. This is likely but you should check with the sender! With the advent of cloud and remotely hosted systems the appointment could be in GMT+6 but the server is in GMT-5 and it won't be immediately clear if the time zone is defaulted to the appointment location or the server location
The time zone doesn't matter. If I make an appointment with my doctor at 8 AM on Tuesday then that appointment is still at 8 AM on Tuesday. The software can store that time and date WITHOUT the timezone and still represent the data correctly. This is NOT the case if you're driving alerts or notifications off of the appointment.
Infer the time zone from other clues in the message. Does the MSH segment have timestamps with the zone?
I'm sending emails using the Sendgrid API, & I wanna use the "send_at" where I must convert the date to timestamp first..
Well, what timezone shall I use? & is there any other way avoiding the convertion to timestamp?
The Sendgrid API has the send_at parameter which is a UNIX timestamp format.
Here is an example for using the send_at email header:
{
"send_at": 1409348513
}
To schedule a send request for a large batch of emails use the send_at parameter which will send all emails at approximately the same time.
Timezone issues with scheduling emails, please remember that you have the option to specify a timezone when you schedule the email to go out.
If you don’t specify the timezone, it will default to current Pacific Time (UTC-7 or UTC-8, depending on your daylight savings time).
In order to specify the timezone assigned to the user you can call the following API:
Post Url:
https://api.sendgrid.com/api/timezone/edit.json
Post Data: api_user=your_sendgrid_username&api_key=your_sendgrid_password&timezone=America/New_York
The following API updates the timezone assigned to the user.
I've written a simple mail client that uses JavaMail to read emails.
When I get the Date of a message, it's expressed in the local time of my Android configuration.
For instance Message-->Date.getString() will give me a different time depending of my Android time zone configuration. However, the date of the message is on the server, right? So the Android time zone configuration should not affect anything.
Are Android and JavaMail secretely pass my time zone configuration to the server so that I receive a Date expressed indeed into my locale zone?
Well, that's not annoying I prefer this anyway, but I'm out of curiosity... why?!
The server returns the date/time with the timezone so that the correct UTC/GMT time is stored in the Date object. The Date.toString() method returns the date in the local timezone.
I am working on a website in ASP.NET where e-mails can be scheduled for the future. But the problem is with the date difference between server and client.
As the server is in India, a USA user can schedule a date after today's date, as their time zone is different. Then this e-mail will never be sent, as the date has already been passed here.
Please suggest me how to deal with this matter.
Use UTC time instead of local time.
Here's a link to an article in case you need more information:
https://web.archive.org/web/20201202215446/http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/081507-1.aspx
use UTC time and convert all times to it before you set the schedule.
