IJ28483: GRAPHICAL SCHEDULING - SET WORK TO DAY TIMEZONE OFFSETS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN DATES ARE UPDATED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:
  Graphical Scheduler option to Set Work to Day. If a Work Order
  has a start date of 10 Sep 2020, 07:00 AM on the scheduler and
  we right click > Set Work to Day > select date, it changes the
  date as well as the time from 7 AM to 6 AM and sometimes 9 AM
  (as an example). Note: Server Timezone is UTC Time Zone (GMT +
  0). The user profile (Maximo) timezone is either NZ or
  Melbourne (GMT+10).
  
  STEPS TO RECREATE:
  1. Ensure server timezone is UTC GMT+0 and user profile
  (maxadmin) is set to GMT+10 or something you would normally use.
  2. Create a simple schedule with 2 work orders.
  3. On the top left (Work Order) quadrant, right click on a Work
  Order Description > select Work to Day > select a different
  date and click OK.
  
  RESULTS: The time changes as well as the date.
  EXPECTED RESULTS: The date should change but the time should
  remain the same.
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  Tivoli's process automation engine 7.6.1.1-IFIX20200624
  IBM Maximo Asset Management Scheduler 7.6.7.3
