title: How to change the timezone in Mirth?
body: <p>I am a Mirth Newbie trying to change the timezone stamped onto outgoing messages. Mirth currently stamps the current time on messages--only in greenwich mean time. I want to stamp messages with US central time. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the code from the transformer that is adding in the dates: 
  var dateString = DateUtil.getCurrentDate("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
  tmp['MSH']['MSH.7']['MSH.7.1'] = dateString ;</p>
  
  <p>I have a few questions about how to solve this: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there a way to change the timezone from within mirth?</li>
  <li>If not, is there a way to change the default timezone in Java?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Worst case, I can adjust the date in the javascript--but then I'll have to resolve this each time I want to add the current time to a message.</p>
