Of which system? Jobs can travel through serveral systems in an NJE network, submitted on system1, converted on system2 executed on system3, each with their own timesettings. Dataset1 gets timestamp 10:00, the *next* dataset2 can get timestamp 09:10 if created 10 minutes after dataset1. Quite confusing.
