milliseconds()
This function returns the number of milliseconds from 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC to a given Date/timestamp in parameter a.
The Integration Server time zone is used to calculate the UTC time of date a. Then, the difference between this calculated UTC time and 01.01.1970 00:00:00 UTC is calculated, which is then transformed into milliseconds. See examples below.
