IJ08742: INCORRECT TIMEZONE VALIDATION WHEN ENTERING LABOR ACTUALS IN MAXIMO ANYWHERE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When entering labor actuals in Maximo Anywhere on a device
  where there device time and the users profile are in a
  different timezone from the server, core Maximo sends back the
  following error when validating the start date and finish date
  
  BMXAA2569E - FINISH DATE AND TIME MUST BE LATER THAN STARTDATE
  AND TIME
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1.   Set your server time to UTC and restart the Maximo JVM
  2.   Change your users default profile and device time to PST
  3.   Log in to Maximo Anywhere Work Execution select a work
  order in progress and enter labor actuals in the past.
  
  Start Date: 2018-08-15
  Start Time: 6:00 am
  Duration: 15 hours  (This must be set to a higher time to
  change the AM\PM flag)
  
  This should fill in the end date and end time to
  
  End Date: 2018-08-15
  End Time:  9:00pm
  
  4.  Turn on the OSLC logging and ensure the values are sent to
  core Maximo as seen.
  
  At this point Maximo should convert the time to UTC, however
  there is an issue in the conversion and validation which causes
  the end date to appear before the start date and display the
  following error.
  
  BMXAA2569E - FINISH DATE AND TIME MUST BE LATER THAN STARTDATE
  AND TIME
  
  This issue does not occur when the timezone is the same all the
  way through.
  
  
  Expected Results:
  
  For the transactions being sent to Maximo through the OSLC
  Framework to convert and validate timezones the same as core
  Maximo transactions
  
  Environment:
  
  Maximo 7.6.0.9
