Set dataset time zone from the command line

akw_white — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:01:36 GMT

Hi all

I have a large number of datasets to create and I am using the dfpm command to do this. I can't figure out the correct syntax to set a non-detault time zone for the dataset using dfpm dataset create or dfpm dataset modify, can anyone assist? Note there are no data objects (volumes, respools etc) associated with the datasets at this time.

Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam,

There is no way using cli (dfpm dataset create or modify) one can choose or change the timezone. The only way I can think of is using API/NMSDK. I am able to see the element time-zone only in dataset-create api.

But if you use NMC the same is available via Create and Edit Screens.

Thanks Adai. I was a bit confused because when I ran the command with invalid input the result indicated that timezone was a valid parameter but I guess that's not fully implemented.
