How to get Event start date including the time zone

[zx2538265]

Hi all,

I use getEvent  but just  respone startDate and tmezoneId.

And I use LstTimeZone , but the request date is UTC(?) time not I choose TmezoneId's Local Time

I want to get the start time of the time zone,because daylight saving time.

Like below

Please,how to get the time zone when this start Date?

Hi Allen,

Did you schedule this event via the page UI or via XML API CreateEvent?

I use XML API CreateEvent.

Then I want the NZ's TimeZone,

I call LstTimeZone date 09/30/2016 15:00 and  timeZoneID 60,

it respone Timezone is GMT+12:00 not GMT+13:00

Hi Allen,

I'm not able to duplicate that issue. Below is a snippet of my request:

<bodyContent xsi:type='java:com.webex.service.binding.site.LstTimeZone'>

       <timeZoneID>60</timeZoneID>

       <date>09/30/2016 15:00:00</date>

</bodyContent>

And this is the response I get:

<serv:bodyContent xsi:type="ns1:lstTimeZoneResponse">

  <ns1:timeZone>

    <ns1:timeZoneID>60</ns1:timeZoneID>

    <ns1:gmtOffset>780</ns1:gmtOffset>

   <ns1:description>GMT+13:00, New Zealand (Wellington)</ns1:description>

    <ns1:shortName>Wellington</ns1:shortName>

    <ns1:hideTimeZoneName>false</ns1:hideTimeZoneName>

    <ns1:fallInDST>true</ns1:fallInDST>

    <ns1:standardLabel>Standard</ns1:standardLabel>

    <ns1:daylightLabel>Daylight</ns1:daylightLabel>

  </ns1:timeZone>

</serv:bodyContent>

Can you send me the relevant snippet of your XML request and response (without password)?

</bodyContent>

<serv:bodyContent xsi:type="ns1:lstTimeZoneResponse">
        <ns1:timeZone>
        <ns1:timeZoneID>60</ns1:timeZoneID>
        <ns1:gmtOffset>780</ns1:gmtOffset>
        <ns1:description>GMT+13:00, New Zealand (Wellington)</ns1:description>
        <ns1:shortName>Wellington</ns1:shortName>
        <ns1:hideTimeZoneName>false</ns1:hideTimeZoneName>
        <ns1:fallInDST>true</ns1:fallInDST>
        <ns1:standardLabel>Standard</ns1:standardLabel>

I was able to reproduce what you are seeing, but the results are correct. 9/24/2016 15:00 + 12 hours = 9/25/2016 03:00, at  that point the time zone offset would be GMT+13.
