[basex-talk] Timezone and job start time

declare namespace tz = "java:java.time.ZonedDateTime";

tz:now()

returns 2017-07-28T14:23:08.334-07:00[America/Los_Angeles]

Logs in dba seem to use the local time zone to display the date.

The timestamp on resources is in UTC time, which is good.

modified-date=”2017-07-28T21:17:53.347Z”

But, do I have to use UTC time for scheduling jobs?

For example:

job:eval(‘…’, map {}, map {‘start’: ‘20:00:00’})

schedules the job for 5AM instead of 10PM, I think.

If I can assume the time is UTC then I can figure out how to schedule the correct time. But, can I assume that it is UTC, or can I specify a Zoned time without a date?
