Title: converting GMT to EST/EDT
Post by: DSR on 13 Feb 2012 06:47:41 PM
Hi There,

We have some date columns which are stored in GMT time zone and now user wanted these columns should be converted to EST/EDT based on the server setup-ed location. Business may happen from different locations and from different customers(Each customer will have different server). Need to read Server time stamp and convert to EST / EDT.

Is there any automated way for doing this. We are using Cognos 8.4.1 and DB2 is our DB. In Oracle we have time zone function which will be used to convert time stamps from one to other time zones.
