Selected time zone the same as cluster time zone

  • Incoming date time data are treated as "UTC" time zone, and not as the selected Europe/Berlin time zone for EU cluster, and US/Eastern time zone for US cluster
  • Incoming date time data are transformed and saved using the formula to calculate number of hours between UTC time zones offset: ClusterTimezeone minus UTC+0
