When Cognos Analytics queries Snowflake (Database Vendor: https://snowflake.com), the data returned when a TIME datatype is used in the query should be exactly the same as the data stored at rest within a given table on Snowflake, without any conversion based on the difference in hours between UTC and how time is configured on the Operating System where the dispatcher is installed.
