ZTN2099

ID: ZTN2099

This Zetafax technical note applies to:

  • Zetafax Server v17

Symptom

When using the “/after” command either in the “To:” line or in the “Subject” line this command is ignored and the fax is sent immediately.

This issue can be observed when using the following date formats for the “/after” command:

-       yy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss => (e.g.: /after=16-04-19 17:30:00)

-       yy-MM-dd => (e.g.: /after=16-04-19)

-       hh:mm:ss => (e.g.: /after=17:30:00)

Cause

This was caused by an issue when parsing the date from the “/after” command.

Resolution

This fault was corrected in a hotfix, which is available by contacting Equisys Technical Support and quoting the technote number ZTN2099.

Status

This behaviour was corrected in the hotfix detailed above.
