Marketing Cloud Engagement | Timezone Behavior in File Naming Patterns for Data Extract Activity Output File Names

Fecha de publicación: Jul 29, 2026
Descripción

In the Data Extract Activity in Marketing Cloud Engagement, this article explains the timezone behavior when date wildcards are specified in the file naming pattern for output file names. The date and time output in this context is processed based on CST (UTC-6), and there is no option to switch to a local timezone such as JST.

Solución

Date placeholders specified in the Data Extract Activity file naming pattern (e.g., %%Year%%%%Month%%%%Day%%.csv) are evaluated based on CST (Central Standard Time: UTC-6).

The Data Extract Activity configuration screen does not provide an option to apply the user's local timezone settings. Therefore, it is not possible to automatically apply a date based on a local timezone such as Japan Standard Time (JST) to the file name.
