Date / Time Minus 2 Hours Format

Hello, 

I currently have a Botflow set to run every 2 hours. In this botflow we have a variable to get the current time and then a variable to get the current time minus 2 hours. Now this query runs perfectly throughout the day without issue. It also used to work on a previous version of RPA Central (2.9.0). But after this years time change that caused 1 botflow to generate 6 times a second (over a weekend) rather than once a day. We updated to version 2.12.0. 

 

We noticed on the 12:30 AM mark it stopped working but never could catch why the botflow would stop at the same location until recently. We noticed that when the botflow tried to subtract 2 hours from the current military time of 0030 it started going negative (IE: -0130) which the date/time selector didn’t like and therefore didn’t generate any data for the selected range. This is the current variable we have setup to take the current date/time and subtract 2 hours:

[*DATE] [?Subtract([*HOUR_MILITARY,_ZERO-FILLED],2)]:[?Subtract([*MINUTE_ZERO-FILLED],5)]:[*SECOND_ZERO-FILLED]

Any recommendations or help is appreciated!

Thank you,

Kevin

Hello Kevin,

This seems like a defect. We made changes to RPAC in 2 different versions based on DST and maybe while fixing another issue, we broke your scenario. Please send this message to Support@nintex.com with your company name and email so we can investigate and get our Development Team working on the issue. Thank you!
