How to set the time zone for the user session in a Business Rule ? - Scoped Application.

Any suggestions please...

gs.getSession().setTimeZoneName("Asia/Kolkata");

Output:

Evaluator: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: Cannot find function setTimeZoneName in object com.glide.script.fencing.ScopedGlideSession@e00b31.
   Caused by error in script at line 1

==>   1: gs.getSession().setTimeZoneName("Asia/Kolkata");

Hi, 

You can set session timezone from ScopedApp using TimezoneAjax ScriptInclude which located in Global scope but is available from other scopes. 

var userTZ=gs.getSession().getTimeZoneName();  //Save user timezone
var gTz=new global.TimezoneAjax();
gTz.changeTimeZone('US/Pacific');   // Set custom timezone 

// Do what you need

gTz.changeTimeZone(userTZ); //  Restore user timezone
