get time service return wrong time

[AF_10333884]

Hi,

I want to get my current time using this code:

var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: " + currentdate.getDate() + "/" + (currentdate.getMonth()+1) + "/" + currentdate.getFullYear() + " @ " + currentdate.getHours() + ":" + currentdate.getMinutes() + ":" + currentdate.getSeconds();
var result = datetime;

but the result I got is not correct, The date is suitable but the hour, minute and second are wrong.

Hi @AF_10333884 

You can use the below snippet to convert DATETIME to STRING

var timeValue = new Date();
var result = "Last Sync :" + dateFormat(timeValue,"dd/MM/yyyy @ HH:mm:ss");

In the below image, the output time value will be different from the local PC time. It is due to different timezone in Thingworx server. So when you convert DATETIME to STRING, Thingworx will return a string in the server timezone.
