Hi Guys
I'm struggling with an issue where Aras seems to get the modified_on value wrong by showing the next day.
I have created a custom excel import which calls the aras web service to do the aml imports. It seems that the web service uses the browser's timezone to update the modified_by time.
I've tried setting the Corporate Time zone in aras variables section
- CorporateTimeZone - China Standard Time
- DefaultLocale - zh-cn
and also tried changing the aras server web.config to use the correct glabalization settings
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="zh-cn" />
I have also tried various methods within aras to try and convert the datetime formats but it seems that the Aras engine somehow knows from which timezone it was updated from and converts the values prior to applying the methods.
Any idea where I can set aras to use only one timezone (local time zone) for ALL clients?
Regards

I forgot to mention that I am using version 9.2.
For example I found that when I am uploading my BOM spreadsheet from my country, with Aras installed in China, the time difference is +8. So when doing the upload all the parts will have a 2011-08-03 16:51:49.847 modified_by value and when opening to view a part it will show 201184 in the left margin depending on the setting of the itemtype properties. eg. short_date_time
Any ideas?
Thanks
