Description

Hello Guys, We have been trying to change TIMEZONE of ORA2, but no success yet. We want to set TIMEZONE to 'Asia/Kolkata' for any datetime references used in ORA2. Currently when instructor sets Start date of Peer Assessment to 12:00 PM, it takes it as UTC. So for Indian Standard Time it seems to be available +05:30 hours after the actual start time set. So is there anyway which can help us change TIMEZONE?

Research direction

Start by tracing ORA2's datetime handling and timezone configuration for Peer Assessment start dates, then reproduce the UTC-versus-Asia/Kolkata behavior described here. Done means datetime references use the configured Asia/Kolkata timezone and the instructor's 12:00 PM start time is interpreted correctly.
