  3. Enter the time difference with respect to the GMT in the User Timezone section.

For Example -
If the client is based in Dubai then it belongs to the UAE/OMAN timezone which is 4 hours ahead of the GMT. Hence we set the user timezone section to +4 to indicate the UAE/Oman timezone as follows:

Note -

  1. If the server administrator timezone is not set to GMT/UTC then any timezone configuration is ignored
  2. Many dates and times in NEOSYS are stored as local date or time without timezone information and are not affected by timezone configuration
  3. Generally, NEOSYS stores date+time in conjunction then it always saves them in the database server administrator timezone as the server LOCAL system administrator timezone. This means that databases are NOT fully portable to servers configured with different timezones.
