Setting the Time Zone Conversion Preference

Describes how to set the "Timezone" preference, which you can use to convert time types from another application or program to the correct time zone of your database or RPC server before passing the values to Sybase CEP Engine.

This conversion is necessary when converting from a relative time type, such as a DATE datatype in an Oracle database to Sybase's absolute TIMESTAMP datatype.

The preference setting allows any standard time zone abbreviation. The default value for "Timezone" is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

The following example sets the time zone for the service to Pacific Standard Time.

<Param Name="Timezone">PST</Param>
