Hi folks
There is some confusion on the web about the Time Zone policy used for the timestamp in the Historical Data Service.
I can't find a definitive statement about this in the Wiki or on the forum.
I have always assumed that the timestamps are GMT+0 for both winter and summer, but would like to be certain.
Can Support please explain the policy used for the timestamps?
Thanks.

It is the same time format that is used in Calendar.setTimeInMillis(long millis) or System.currentTimeMillis(). Java documentation states it as "the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC".

Thanks for the quick response - that's very clear. I've always assumed that was the case, but it's good to have it confirmed.
Can I gently suggest that this information is added to the Wiki - I searched quite carefully, but I couldn't find it. Perhaps it's an oversight?
Or it it's there, perhaps you could add some keywords like Historical Data and UTC so it comes up in searches.
