If you set the time zone in Windows to the Central America time zone
during the months of Daylight Savings Time (DST), the timestamp seen
in the Diagnostic results file and the system time is different.
This time difference occurs because the Central America time zone is not supported by Java, so the default time zone used for Central America is Central Standard Time (CST)/Central Daylight Savings Time (CDT). Because Central America does not practice daylight savings, the time displayed by the Diagnostic Service is one hour ahead of the system time. If you are in the Central America time zone, keep this time difference in mind when scheduling diagnostics tests. During DST, ensure that the time entered is in CDT. If it is not, the scheduled diagnostics may fail with the following message. “Tests cannot be scheduled. Either the start date occurs in the past or the date format is invalid. A valid date format is mm/dd/yyyy. Please correct the data and submit the form again. “ |
