Hi,
hoping someone can help me on this: Kenichi Unnai Claudia Pacheco Marvin HoffmannMidhun VP Ron Sargeant @Jeff Gebo
We are developing an iOS native app for a NetWeaver Gateway 7.4 SP10, SMP 3.0 SP08 and SMP 3.0 SDK SP09 PL01.
We are using the OnlineStore to read and create data.
In a particular OData service one entity has a property of type Edm.DateTime. We have the agreement that the time will be sent in UTC.
However, when we pass a NSDate() object into it, the server receives the property in the local time zone of the mobile device (GMT+2), not in UTC. We assume that the SMP SDK is doing this conversion automatically. We assume it is in the SODataConverter::setLocalTimeZone(...).
Is there a way to turn this off? Or force to send with UTC? As we would like to communicate in UTC between app and backend.
Details:
In the app we set the property as follows:
//create date and set property
let curDate = NSDate()
let prop = SODataPropertyDefault(name:"StartDate")
prop.value = curDate
properties.addObject(prop)
print(curDate) //"2015-07-02T08:00:00" which is UTC
But on the gateway we receive:
"Visit" : {
"StartDate" : "2015-07-02T10:00:00", //which is GMT+2, the device timezone
...
}
We assume that the SDK is doing this conversion which we would not like to have.
