Hello All,
Is it possible to change the system time of a DEV instance? I am testing a few timer activities and timed SLA's and I want to be able to move the system time/date forwards & backwards. Is this at all possible? Obviously I wouldn't be doing this in a production environment , this is purely for development/testing.
Many Thanks
Harry

Hi Harry,
At this time it is not possible for customers to adjust the system date/time. If you want to test the timers, I recommend using smaller increments to test (eg 5 minutes instead of 5 days) then adjust those as you go to production.
I often set my own properties for an applications behavior so I can adjust such behavior from a properties page without having to refactor code. This works well in most cases (the notable exception being workflow timers.)
