Troubleshooting: web activity expiry date is invalid
The default web activity expiry date is invalid when time zones are changed in the Management Center.
Problem
You might experience an error similar
to the following snippet:
The date entered is invalid. Enter a date for the End date field.
Reason
The default expiry date that is assigned
to web activities is 9999/12/31 11:59PM
in the Eastern
time zone.
If you change the time zone to an area with a higher
offset, the expiry year passes 9999
and an error
occurs because the year is within an invalid range.
Solution
This error is a known issue with
the default sample data and occurs in the following starter stores:
- Madisons starter store
- Elite starter store
- MayUJoy starter store
- Brazil starter store
To resolve this issue:
- Manually change the expiry dates so that the year does not pass
9999
. - This issue is resolved in the Aurora starter store default sample data.
