[HELP] Timezone impact of DHIS Server

Hi All,

We are about to implement DHIS in two level hierarchy one server hosted in cloud and several other DHIS instances in fields where data is collected and synced with cloud instance. In this regard, we want to understand on how each of you are working out with the timezones of server machines. Is every DHIS server is configured to follow UTC or they have their default timezone of the region.

Please reply us with your valuable suggestions. Each response is very important as they would help us achieve deploying DHIS in the right way from the start.

Regards,

Sultan Ahamar.

Hi Sultan Ahamar,

in MSF-OCBA our servers in field have the default timezone of the region. We decide to do that because we have some scripts (like backups and, sometimes, server reboots) that must be run at night. In this way we can have the same server configuration for all of them.

But next year we plan to use metadata sync functionality, and metadata versions have a timestamp generated locally that could become an issue with different timezones… We need to assess that yet

Regards,

Víctor
