`</sp:GetJobResponse>`

The main structure in the GetJobResponse declaration, JobDetails, contains the most ‘important’ information (mostly that generated by ServiceOptimizer) about the job to be dispatched.

All of the fields to do with dates and times are local to what is specified in the tz_GJAPI database parameter for resourced jobs and local to what is specified in the tz_GJAPIUnres database parameter for unresourced jobs. These can be set such that dates and times are local to the timezone of the responsibility unit which contains the job, local to the employee that the job is allocated to (if it’s resourced), local to a specified or default timezone, or in GMT with or without daylight saving (BST).
