How to get current datetime in GMT

Hi,

Is there a tranform in Parallel Server that does the same thing as DateCurrentGMTTime transform in Server? I need to get the currrent timestamp in GMT in Parallel Server.

Thanks.

I don't know about Tranforms, but in buildops there are a coupld of functions called localTime() and localTimeStamp(). These represent whatever your local time is, where as the function now() represents it as GMT.

From what I have seen there is usually a corresponding Transform function for every function in buildops.

Brad.

Brad,

I couldn't find any of the functions you mentioned in the buildops. I would like to use the function or transform in the transformer stage if they are available.

Thanks,

Michael

Sorry, I should clarify - There usually is a corresponding function, but the name may be slightly different.
