Date Format

GRLoader supports the following date format options in XML:

• datefmt=UTC
• datefmt=localtime (the default)

Examples: datefmt XML

<ci>
<name>server1</name>
<purchase_date datefmt="UTC"> 1241197235</purchase_date>
</ci>

<ci>
<name>server3</name>
<purchase_date> 2009/05/01</purchase_date>
</ci>

The equivalent transaction is represented in the transaction work area as:

Note: If a date contains a special character such as a slash (/), then the format is assumed to be "localtime". If a date contains no special characters, the date is assumed to be UTC.
