IV46438: CALENDAR NOT UPDATING TIME FIELDS CORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem:
  Time in date fields are not updated with the current time.
  In WO and Tickets applications when you click on the calendar
  and choose a date but don't specify the time, it takes the time
  of when the WO or Ticket was rendered instead of the current
  time.
  
  Performance Issue:  No
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  Create an SR
  Fill in just the required.
  Click on Actual Start - Select today's date but no time.
  Notice the time.
  Wait a few minutes
  Click on Actual Finish - Select today's date but no time.
  Notice the time.
  The times are identical.
  It doesn't seem to be picking up the time as a present system
  time.
  
  Current Erroneous Result:
  Wrong time on the date fields.
  
  Expected Result:
  Current time would get picked up.
  
  Additional Info:
  This behavior was correct in pre-7.5 releases but changed in
  7.5.x.
  
  Environment:
  -SmartCloud Control Desk 7.5.1
  -Tivoli Process Automation Engine 7.5.0.4
  -Browser: any
