Retrieving User's Login TIMEZONE

singsing

Hi,

I've been having difficulties with retrieving user login TimeZone and apply it to date as dataset parameter.

Found solution on this forum to use reportContext.getAppContext().get("AppRuntimeTimeZone"), however,, this works onRENDER, not on Initialize before Dataset is executed. So when run the report.

What I did was
1. On Initialize retrieve Timezone by reportContext.getAppContext().get("AppRuntimeTimeZone") etc, and then
2. apply timezone to date Report Parameter on Initialize phase as well.
3. Data set parameter is linked to Report parameter; therefore, I expect by the time dataset is executed, dataset will get date parameter with correct timezone.

But it doesn't work.

Please please please kindly help to solve TimeZone issue.

thank you.

Good Day
You could try the following JavaScript code:

var d = new Date();
d.toTimeString();

It will return a string like the following:
13:29:42 GMT-0700 (PDT)
