How to convert date and time into another time zone in scoped application

[Poorna7]

In below script include we are getting the location time zone and date of the location to be in office . Currently My Requirement is to convert the both location date(ld) and current datetime (nowDT) into location time zone i.e. getLOcationTimeZone . Both ld and now DT are in GMT time zone.

var getDate = Class.create();
getDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
getDateInfo: function() {

var getLocation = current.variables.office_location.time_zone; // Get the LOcation Time Zone
var locationDate = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_sysId'); // Get the Date of the Location on which the user wants to be in office
var ld = new GlideDateTime(locationDate); // GMT Time Zone
var nowDT = new GlideDateTime(); //GMT Time Zone
var dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(nowDT,ld);
var duration = dur.getNumericValue();
var durationSeconds = (duration/1000);

Hi Akansha,

Did you tried using getUserTimezone() ?

https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/paris/server/no-namespace/GlideCalendarDateTimeAPI#GCDT-getUserTimeZone?navFilter=timezone

getUserTimezone() retrieves the time zone for the current user session.

But I want the time zone to be converted into location time zone.

The user time zone and location timezone can be different.

try below

var time = new GlideDateTime();     // Display date retrieved       
gs.print('GMT Time: '+time);     // Set timezone     
var tz = Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"); 
//var tz = Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("IST");
 time.setTZ(tz);     // Get offset of timezone set above     
var timeZoneOffSet = time.getTZOffset();     // Add offset to current time     
 time.setNumericValue(time.getNumericValue() + timeZoneOffSet);     // Print date/time in desired timezone     
gs.print('Eastern time: '+time);

Hi

I'm not the OP, but have same question.

In a Scoped Application I get

"JavaException: java.lang.SecurityException: Use of Packages calls is not permitted in scoped applications"
