idea Provide option to specify time zone for fields retrieved by REST API in ArcGIS Rest APIs and Services Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-ideas/provide-option-to-specify-time-zone-for-fields/idi-p/925560 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>Our data is stored in DB2. &nbsp;The timestamp fields in DB2 are not time zone aware. &nbsp;When we query the data with the REST API, it returns the matching timestamps from DB2 with "UTC" appended. &nbsp;These times in DB2 are not UTC times, but now the REST API is telling me that it is. &nbsp;If I am querying this data through the JavaScript API, it converts that UTC time to my local time before it displays it on the screen. &nbsp;In order to display it correctly, I have to convert the JavaScript output to UTC and then the time displays as it is stored in DB2. &nbsp;It's misleading to be required to convert to UTC to make it display as local. &nbsp;It would be helpful if I could configure ArcGIS Server to specify a default time zone on all of the fields that it gives me instead of having it assume that my data is stored in UTC. <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000004c4j --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:58:48 GMT JamesBratton 2013-04-19T20:58:48Z Provide option to specify time zone for fields retrieved by REST API https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-ideas/provide-option-to-specify-time-zone-for-fields/idi-p/925560 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>Our data is stored in DB2. &nbsp;The timestamp fields in DB2 are not time zone aware. &nbsp;When we query the data with the REST API, it returns the matching timestamps from DB2 with "UTC" appended. &nbsp;These times in DB2 are not UTC times, but now the REST API is telling me that it is. &nbsp;If I am querying this data through the JavaScript API, it converts that UTC time to my local time before it displays it on the screen. &nbsp;In order to display it correctly, I have to convert the JavaScript output to UTC and then the time displays as it is stored in DB2. &nbsp;It's misleading to be required to convert to UTC to make it display as local. &nbsp;It would be helpful if I could configure ArcGIS Server to specify a default time zone on all of the fields that it gives me instead of having it assume that my data is stored in UTC. <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000004c4j --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:58:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-ideas/provide-option-to-specify-time-zone-for-fields/idi-p/925560 JamesBratton 2013-04-19T20:58:48Z Re: Provide option to specify time zone for fields retrieved by REST API - Status changed to: Already Offered https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-ideas/provide-option-to-specify-time-zone-for-fields/idc-p/1288721#M61 <P>Please see this help topics and blog posts:</P><UL><LI><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/services/use-web-feature-layers.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_9EC2834147564F93B442B30975039010" target="_blank">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/services/use-web-feature-layers.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_9EC2834147564F93B442B30975039010</A><BR /><BR /><BR /></LI><LI><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/sharing/overview/configure-service-parameters.htm" target="_blank">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/sharing/overview/configure-service-parameters.htm</A><BR /><BR /><BR /></LI><LI><A href="https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/working-with-agol-feature-services-date-time-attributes-in-non-utc-time-zone-in-arcgis-pro-2-7/" target="_blank">https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/working-with-agol-feature-services-date-time-attributes-in-non-utc-time-zone-in-arcgis-pro-2-7/</A></LI></UL> Fri, 12 May 2023 18:47:39 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-ideas/provide-option-to-specify-time-zone-for-fields/idc-p/1288721#M61 TanuHoque 2023-05-12T18:47:39Z
