Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to change the desktop client setting to show the start and end times of jobs in user's timezone instead of EDT (Eastern standard time)?

The desktop client only show the timezone of the local OS.  Users can select a time zone for when creating an event, example: 00:00 Hong_Kong 1st DAY OF MONTH LESS 5 WORKDAYS but when this application triggers off at 00:00 Hong Kong users will see local timezone in the monitor view.

Environment

CA Workload Automation DE 11.3.x, 12.x
CA Workload Automation Desktop Client 11.3.x, 12.x

Resolution

The timezone is from the Desktop Client machine. The expected behavior is that java takes the timezone information from the machine where the Desktop Client is installed. So the start and end times in the job's details are in Desktop Client's timezone.
