> The documentation for the {{timestamp()}} EL Function says:
> {quote}
> It returns the UTC current date and time in W3C format down to the second (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sZ). I.e.: 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45Z
> {quote}
> https://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.1/WorkflowFunctionalSpec.html#a4.2_Expression_Language_Functions
> This is incorrect.  It's ISO08601 format in Oozie processing timezone down to the minute (like other Oozie time formats).  The Javadoc is even correct:
> {code:java}
>     /**
>      * Return the current datetime in ISO8601 using Oozie processing timezone, yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ. i.e.:
>      * 1997-07-16T19:20Z
>      *
>      * @return the formatted time string.
>      */
>     public static String timestamp() {
>         return DateUtils.formatDateOozieTZ(new Date());
>     }
> {code}
> We should update the documentation to match the javadoc
