IV90424: TIME PICKER ON CALENDAR LOOKUP IN 7.6.X DEFAULTS TO 12.00AM EVEN THOUGH PROPERTY WEBCLIENT.USECLIENTTIMER = 1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  - Go to System Properties application.
  - Find the webclient.useClientTimer property.
  - Its value is already set to = 1
  - Go to Work Order Tracking application
  - Find an existing WO record (e.g. in Wappr status)
  - Open the Calendar lookup for any DateTime field, such as
  Scheduled Start
  - The TimePicker on the right shows a number of timeslots.
  - The range of the timeslots is 12.00am (midnight) - 2.45am
  - This is always the case regardless of the client machine's
  local time
  - It should show a range of timeslots showing a 2-hour range
  matching the current DateTime on the client machine
  - The webclient.useClientTimer property's value of 1 is
  therefore not taken into account
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  The webclient.useClientTimer property's value of 1 is therefore
  not taken into account
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  If webclient.useClientTimer = 1, then the Time picker should
  adjust to display timeslots matching the current System
  DateTime (including one hour before SYSDATE and one hour after
  SYSDATE)
  ADDITIONAL INFO:
  This was working in Maximo 7.5.0.x up to Maximo 7.5.0.7
  New system property 'webclient.useClientTimer' was then added
  to adjust the default time on the Date/Time Calendar widget to
  use the client workstation's local time.
  

Local fix

• Users need to scroll down to the relevant timeslot close to
  current SysDateTime.
