Mosaic-Decisions: Different supported timezones in Expressions

Question

In Mosaic Decisions Flows, I can see there's a system parameter called "$currentTime" which gives the current timestamp. But this is giving the current timestamp in UTC. I want to convert it into CST timezone. Is there a way I can do that?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use Convert_Timezone function available in transformation node. Below is the syntax for it.

CONVERT_TIMEZONE( column_name, ‘Timezone1’ , ‘Timezone2’);

            Column_name – input time based column.
            Timezone1 – the timezone the column data is in.
            Timezone2 – the timezone in which the column data has to be converted in.

CONVERT_TIMEZONE (NOW(), ‘UTC’ , ‘CST6CDT’ ) -> NOW() will give you the currentTime Similarly you can use – SystemV/CST6CDT, SystemV/CST6, based on the requirement.

Also you can refer Transformation section in user guide for further details on it [link below] : https://mosaic.ga.lti-mosaic.com/usermanual/Transformer.html
