Accessing the Time Zone of User/Contributor of a Work item
![]()
Is is possible to access the TimeZone of the contributor of a workitem using the Java APIs ?
I get the IContributor of a work item and then access the IContributorDetails. But I am unable to get the time zone information in the details. Regards, Renuka |

It looks like the Work Location settings, including time zone, for a user are not stored as string extensions on the IContributorDetails (like work item email settings are) but rather as a modeled item in the Agile Planning support.
com.ibm.team.apt.common.resource.IWorkLocationDefinition has properties: timeZone, zoneOffset, language, country, variant, workDays I don't see any public API for obtaining this, but there's an internal client library. See: com.ibm.team.apt.internal.client.resource.ResourcePlanningClient: ResourcePlanningManager getResourcePlanningManager() com.ibm.team.apt.internal.client.resource.ResourcePlanningManager: IContributorInfo getContributorInfo(final IContributorHandle contributor, final boolean refresh, final IProgressMonitor monitor) com.ibm.team.apt.internal.client.resource.IContributorInfo: IWorkLocationDefinition getWorkLocation(IContributorHandle contributor) So something like: teamRepository.getClientLibrary(ResourcePlanningClient.class).getResourcePlanningManager().getContributorInfo(contributorHandle, false, aMonitor).getWorkLocation(contributorHandle) should do the trick. Hopefully the planning team won't have my head for pointing you this way. |
