Alex, Thanks for the answer.
Firstly, the set of different validity_period is a requirement in our business workflow. Secondly, our ESMEs is geographically in different TZs and they are movable objects and we don't know ESME's location at the time of sending the message. In this case our SMPP provider recommends us to use the relative time format, because of the end provider's equipment that interacting with ESME works in accordance with local time zone (it is verify validity_period in it's retry sending schemes as I was informed). -- Kind regards, Denis чт, 19 июл. 2018 г. в 12:18, <amal...@kannel.org>: > Hi, > > tha first question would be, why do you want to keep it in relative time > format? > As answer to your question: no this is not possible now , because Kannel > converts > timestamp to unix timestamp internally on the input side and afterwards to > absolute > time format.
