I have set up the Marketing Cloud time zones to GMT. Issue is that every other time setting (automations, imports, etc) run on Central Time. Is this a default setting or is there a way to set everything to GMT?

  • This really bothers me in file imports and exports, because when running them on short morning in GMT e.g. 4o´clock on date: 21.03.2018 the day parameter is different on GMT (will be 21.03.2018) and CT(20.03.2018) or whatever timezone the servers running on. Is there a way to manipulate these values?

  • Unfortunately no. The servers run on cst. You can add an intermediate step that adjusts for time differences with an OFFSET sql function

  • But the offset would only be useful when i would extract the values which are stored in dataviews or where i salesforce itself writes the date-values, right? This wouldnt help on the import file or data extract activities with wildcard parameters.

Server time is in CST. Stack 4 is on Mountain Time. Daylight savings is not observed.

What is the system timezone in Marketing Cloud and does it consider DST?

    TO add clarity Server time is always CST and never CDT, so during DST server time would be MDT/CST and non daylight servertime would be CST/CST
