Date in UTC

[pshashipreetham]

Hi,

When result =  new Date() is executed, the result Time format is in IST, but as per the customer point of view it should be in UTC, how can it be done ?

Note: the output of the service should be DATETIME

Google search shows there should be a Date.UTC available in javascript

Hi,

Since no solution is avaliable for this, using third party API's for Time is the easiest way.
In the Below Code used the CDT timezone, similarly it can be changed to the UTC.

var params = {
    proxyScheme: 'http' /* STRING */,
    headers: {"Accept-Encoding":"gzip, deflate, br","Accept":"*/*","Content-Type": "application/json"},
    ignoreSSLErrors: true,
	url: "http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/America/Chicago" /* STRING */,
};

// result: JSON
var CDTdate = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].GetJSON(params);
//date = CDTdate.datetime;
date = ((CDTdate.datetime).split("T")[0]);
time = ((CDTdate.datetime).split("T")[1]);
timestamp = ((time).split(".")[0]);
hours = timestamp.split(":")[0];
if(hours > 12 ){
    result = date + " " + timestamp + " PM  CDT";
}
else{
    result = date + " " + timestamp + " AM  CDT";
    }

Thanks,
Shashi.
