Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
SESSION:TIME-SOURCE always retrieves client time.
Self service client connection to the database.
Client session running on the same machine as the database broker and database.
Setting SESSION:TIME-SOURCE to the database name with a SELF SERVICE client always returns client session time.
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior.
FIX:
With self service connections to the database, the client is accessing the database directly and not through a broker, and the client itself gets the time from the server machine.
The SESSION:TIME-SOURCE attribute is intended for real client/server connections, where there is a need to get the time from a machine that is not the machine where the client is running. It was designed to be used where both client and servers are not on the same machine.
