    Hi Everyone,

    I have come across a strange issue that i hope someone could help with.
    When running a graph either via BRE or a scheduled BRX that exports out data using BRD or Delimited exporters the time stamp on the exported files are one hour earlier.
    I have checked the system time on the server and it is reporting the correct time after the clock change 2 weeks ago so is there another setting that Lavastorm uses to timestamp files or logs?

    Regards,

    Keith

    What are you using to see these dates? What timezone are you in, and what timezone is the server in?

    One issue could be that they changed the clock on the server, but left the DST flag turned on.
    If you have access to the server, type in "date", and see what time it shows you. Then type in "date --utc" and ensure that the machine is reporting the proper time for utc
    You can also type in "date +%Z" and see what timezone it reports
    and "echo $TZ" might give you some information.

    It is possible that the tool you are using to view the dates is doing some kind of transform for you.. I use WinSCP to look at files on the server, and it always shows me the time in my own timezone, which is different than the timezone the machine is in.
    Note: the BRDViewer has this 'time zone translation' also.. it displays time values based upon the timezone your PC is in, rather than showing you the 'raw' time value.

    HI Stoney,

    Yes your right it is the Filezilla client which is throwing me a curve ball as i had already checked all the above date commands.
    I hadnt actually thought about the client or checking the timestamps on the command line but now i have it proves the client is the issue.

    Thanks for your help
