Hello Ramesh,

Below will help you to convert the time to IST.

import com.sap.gateway.ip.core.customdev.util.Message;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

def Message processData(Message message) {

    def body = message.getBody();
    
    //Get current Date and Time.
    def currentUTCTime = new Date()
    
    //Declare a empty string to hold the Converted Time        
    def convertedISTTime='';
    
    //Convert and format it into required IST format
    convertedISTTime=currentUTCTime.format("yyyyMMdd ' at 'HH:mm:ss XXX", TimeZone.getTimeZone('IST'))
    
    //Set Property for your future use in integration process
    message.setProperty("P_CurrentISTTime", convertedISTTime );
    
    //Set the value to your Body if required.
    message.setBody(convertedISTTime);

return message;
}

Hi Sri,

How can we convert time from IST to UTC timezone? In fact, for all the conversions, what time zone does the system considers as a source timezone.

In the above example, def currentUTCTime = new Date() , this line gives time in UTC time zone.

But , if my source time is in different time zone(Other than UTC) then, how can I convert this to UTC timezone.

Hello Ramesh,

I have tried the above case and seems its not possible to change it using expressions only.

You can use the script and get the time Converted to IST.
