Hello @ all,
I have trouble with this kind of function.
My response are the same time like Server_Germany, but I just want the real / original time. Do you know a solution for my problem?
It doesn´t matter if I use the IPAddress, DNS name or Notesname, the results are the same…
@Time (@Now([ServerTime]; “Server_LA” ))
@Time (@Now([ServerTime]; “Server_GERMANY” ))
@Time (@Now([ServerTime]; “Server_JPN” ))
I just want to see the different real server time, my fields are computed for display.
THX

It sounds like you expected the time to display in the server’s own timezone, is that right?The problem is that when you handle a date/time value and strip off the date using @Time, the value no longer contains timezone information, so it’s converted to your local time.
Take out the @Time and use the field formatting settings to control display. Tick “Display time”, untick “Display date”, and for time zone select “always show.”

Hello,
thank you, but in this case I have one question, where can I specify my server, in my example SERVER_JPN or SERVER_GERMANY
Subject: RE: formula @Time @Now
What’s wrong with the way you’re doing it now?
Subject: RE: formula @Time @Now
Sorry, but it doesn´t work. The result displays not the real time, converts to my time. I have many servers all over the world and I create a worldmap with all Servers and I want to see the real time from each server.
Subject: RE: formula @Time @Now
It’s working just fine – it just isn’t giving you what you expected, since it is displaying the time in your time zone. For display purposes, you can use @TimeToTextZone, but you will need a canonical time zone string for each of your servers.

Hello Stan,
thank you for your answer. But if I configure this field with timezone and all necessary information, so it´s only a “could it be” value and not real, because this field doesn´t connect to the server if I want.
Subject: RE: formula @Time @Now
WHAT? If you can connect to the server, @Now with the server time keyword returns the server time. You can use @Now in a TEXT field formula, and if you use @TimeToTextInZone with the appropriate time zone for each of the server returns, you will get the servers’ times in the servers’ zones – which is what you are after. (Please TRY the suggestions people give you before yelling “Impossible!”)

Hello Stan, yes it works one time, when I press F9 for refresh, all testfield will be computed to my local time
