  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • NIM showlog command might list the wrong last entry as
    Jan 1 although there is later entry.
    # nim -o showlog -a log_type=script <NIM client name>
    It can happen when the local time zone is ahead of
    UTC(GMT) and any entry is logged between the local
    time Jan 1 and UTC Jan 1. and any entry is logged
    between the local time Jan 1 and GMT Jan 1.
    

Local fix

  • No
    

Problem summary

  • nim -o showlog -a log_type=script <NIM client name> will
    return an incorrect entry from Jan 1
    

Problem conclusion

  • In the showlog script prepend the trailing UTC year to the
    front of the sorting string so that the sort for last entry is
    only based on UTC datetime.
