Sample email output from "CreatePrivilegedAccountExceptionEvent.tmpl" under pending folder.

Permission request start date: 14/09/2016 23:59:00 GMT
Permission request is valid until: 16/09/2016 09:00:00 GMT

Answers:

Please change following default coding for start date line in email template as follows.

[default coding]

<br> Permission request start date: <b><%=_eventContextInformation.getSecondaryObjectAttribute("START_DATE", "")%> GMT</b>

[customized coding]

<br> Permission request start date: <b><br>

<% var sd = _eventContextInformation.getSecondaryObjectAttribute("START_DATE", "");

var sdl = new Date;

sdl.setUTCDate(parseInt(sd.substr(0,2),10));

sdl.setUTCMonth(parseInt(sd.substr(3,2),10)-1);

sdl.setUTCFullYear(parseInt(sd.substr(6,4),10));

temp_time = parseInt(sd.substr(11,2),10);

if (temp_time == 24) temp_time = 0;

sdl.setUTCHours(temp_time);

sdl.setUTCMinutes(parseInt(sd.substr(14,2),10));

sdl.setUTCSeconds(parseInt(sd.substr(17,2),10));

%>

<%= sdl.toLocaleString()%> as JST </b>

 

Sample output of customized coding:

Permission request start date:
September 15, 2016 8:59:00 AM JST as JST
