Missing Time Zones Handling
Dates can only be unambiguously stored if they have a time zone. Therefore, a time zone must be added to fields that contain date information without a time zone.
During data loading, a time zone can only be added to some fields.
During indexing, a time zone can be added to any field that has not got a time zone, but is of date type.
You can configure data sources and index engines to use either the local server time zone or a fixed time zone. Which option is best, depends on the architecture of your CORE system and on the loaded data.
Once a date is completed with a time zone, this time zone is stored in the database.
Caution: Do not change the time zone setting after data has been loaded, and do not change the time zone of a single date field, e.g. through CSV Merge. This will cause inconsistent data.
