BPOOR Date/Timezone Issue with Apex Web service
I have an apex class making a callout to an external REST API and gets a response as shown below.
[ { "externalGUID": "0d872ca4-45fc-45f9-97f7-0c4f8068ea79", "carrierName": "ABC", "effectiveDate": "2020-02-19T00:00:00", "endDate": "2020-12-31T00:00:00", "renewalDate": null, } ]
The effectiveDate and endDate (datetime fields) are passed as CST times from the external system. However, when I use the apex code to populate the details on the Salesforce Asset object, the effectiveDate and endDate are off by 2 days. If I use it as GMT time, these dates are off by 1 day.
Below is the apex code that I am using to populate the info on Asset object.
The template.effectiveDate is populated on the InstallDate in Asset object at a later part of the code.
How do I make sure to integrate the effectiveDate and other dates as CST dates in Salesforce? Can someone help?
