Do you see a Time stamp Discrepancy on Package Build??

Folks,

Checkout this when you build a package and ready to deploy what is the application build date and time ?? Probability is high that JDE Release 8.9 and above you will be having a time stamp discrepancy. If you build a package at night 10pm it will show next days date and time due to this discrepancy of UTC hours.The build time that is displayed for packages in the package selection of the package installation application (from setup.exe) is exactly 4 hours ahead of the current time.

This is the explanation from Oracle for that discrepancy..

Development wanted the timestamp to be a global one, so always stamps the package's build time with GMT time. If you have multiple locations all over the world building packages, then the timestamps would be globalized rather than localized. This information is stored as the build date/time in the package's inf file as the AppBuildDate. This is used to compare to what is in the registry of the machine you are installing a package on, and will update the registry with this date when the package is installed.

You can change this under USER PROFILE Universal Time Tab and set a new entry for your country or location to match the current date and time if required and your company is not global.
