From my perspective, the timezonechanger changes the UTC values so that the PST server sees the entries at the same as they were in HST. The non-tstamp UTC values, when retrieved in the test case code, will be fed into a "real time" corrector that returns new values that are equivalent to the original HST times. In this way, the test data UTC values are always "seen" as HST days and times. What am I misinterpreting? Cheers, Philip
