<TimeZoneOffset> element
The <TimeZoneOffset> element in the smarttarget_conf.xml configuration file specifies the difference between the Content Delivery and Content Manager systems' local server times.
About this task
Dates and times are based on the Content Delivery server time, not on (Content Manager) local time. The offset is used for begin and end dates of Experiments and date triggers so that users can enter local server time rather that having to calculate the date and time in relation to the Content Delivery server time.
Procedure
In the
<SmartTarget><TimeZoneOffset> section of the smarttarget_conf.xml configuration file, enter the offset:
<TimeZoneOffset>0</TimeZoneOffset>
For example:
[/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/thead/row/entry {"col1"})
<TimeZoneOffset> (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/thead/row/entry {"col2"}) Description (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"}) -7 (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col2"}) The Content Manager system is in a time zone 7 hours earlier than the Content Delivery system. (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"}) -7:45 (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col2"}) The Content Manager system is in a time zone 7 hours and 45 minutes earlier than the Content Delivery system. (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"}) +5 (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col2"}) The Content Manager system is in a time zone 5 hours later than the Content Delivery system. (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"}) +5:30 (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col2"}) The Content Manager system is in a time zone 5 hours and 30 minutes later than the Content Delivery system.
