I'm trying to convert ISO datetime to FME DateTime in 2015 version. Have tried using DateFormatter transformer but gives wrong output. It is strangely displaying Expected datetime+02:00 hrs. It looks like it may work in other versions, but not in 2015. Not sure what the issue is.

For ex: The value 2018-12-13T22:05:36.000Z (ISODateTime) gives 2018-12-14 00:05:36 instead of 2018-12-13 22:05:36

Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

Tagging @takashi, @david_r.

There were several issues in the old DateFormatter. If you set the source date format explicitly, correct conversion could be done.

  • Source Date Format: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
  • Destination Date Format: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

The date/time operations in FME were drastically upgraded in 2017. I would recommend you to upgrade FME version if date/time operations are critical in your projects.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
