Timestamp

this.package.timestamp Variable

The this.package.timestamp variable provides the exact timestamp (in milliseconds) representing when the data was sent from the client environment to the JENTIS Environment.

---

Purpose

This variable captures the client-side moment of event dispatch, allowing for:

• Accurate time-based segmentation

• Latency measurements

• Event ordering and synchronization across systems

---

Variable Definition

Property	Description
Variable Name	this.package.timestamp
Type	integer (Unix timestamp in milliseconds)
Scope	Available in server-side variables
Timezone	UTC
Format	Milliseconds since epoch (Unix time)

---

Example Usage

async function() {
    var x = this.package.timestamp; // e.g., 1668157352000
    return x;
}

This example returns the exact timestamp of when the event was dispatched from the client to the JENTIS Environment.

---

Notes

• This is not the time of processing on the server — it reflects the client’s send time.

• The timestamp is recorded in milliseconds for high precision.

• Useful for calculating delays between client send and server receipt times.

---

Use Cases

• Aligning events with external systems based on client timing

• Comparing server receipt time vs. client send time

• Filtering or grouping events by specific time windows

---

Summary

this.package.timestamp is a reliable way to access the original client-side event time in milliseconds. It enables precise event ordering, temporal analysis, and accurate data alignment for server-side logic in JENTIS.
