Re: Epics Archiver Appliance requests and DST/Timezones

[Ralph Lange via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

I agree with Abdalla.

The idea is:

IOC timestamps are UTC (= no timezone, no DST). The archive engine puts those IOC timestamps into the archive, without changing them.

Clients should formulate their requests in UTC. The returned data will have the UTC timestamps from the archive.

In other words: The times are in UTC; any conversion to local time needs to happen at the client.
