If you ever want to know what the current time is set to in your instance you may take the following steps as an administrator.

All Releases

Resolution

 To see the current time in your instance:

1)  Login as an administrator

2)  Elevate your security privileges so that you have the security_admin role. You can read more about that here: Security_admin role

3)  Go to System Definition -> Scripts - Background (you will not see this if you do not elevate your privileges)

4)  Enter the following command in the "Run script" window:

gs.info(gs.nowDateTime());

5) Click the "Run script" button

You should see output similar to:

*** Script: 2025-03-07 16:20:00
