System
EAMNET-17745
EAM implemented the QAD ERP functionality for Domain time zones in order to be compatible with how Enterprise Edition handles dates and times.
For details on how to set up time zones, please see the “Setting Up Multiple Time Zones” and “Domain Time Zone” sections in the QAD System Administration Guide. EAM does not have time zones assigned in its own extension of the Domain master file and this functionality is defined in Enterprise Edition.
EAM looks into EE to find the time zone that is assigned there, and applies it, as well as all other related functionality, such as daylight savings start and end date/time.
Upon conversion to EAM 2017.1, EAM will convert all records that exist in EAM tables that contain either a Site code or a Domain code to the date and time that belongs to this time zone, assuming that the existing data is in the appserver date and time. GL relevant fields such as GL References will not be changed. Once this data conversion occurs, an EAM Registry entry will be created with the entry “DomainTimeZoneConversion” and its Data Value will be set to yes. Once this entry exists, further attempts to convert dates and times to the Domain time zone will not yield any results.
