rdb-HistoryTimezoneUpdater

This component is available on the rdb module Palette view. You can use the Database Ords field in this component to add one or more database paths to the Updater.

Use the Current Timestamp Storage Policy options to select your desired time zone policy:

Station Time Zone
Choose this option to use the time zone of the station to update the history times.
History Config Time Zone
Choose this option to use the time zone that is specified in the History Configuration properties for time zone conversion.

NOTE: This component’s functionality is identical to that achieved by using the Update Wizard as described in Upgrading existing Rdbms databases to support UTC. It is available via the palette to provide granular and discrete functionality as an alternative to using the Update Wizard. The use of this component is described in the following steps.
