I am reconciling start date and end date using GTC and the values received in the source are of the format: mm/dd/yyyy.

I receive the following error if I specify default format(yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss z) or the format as received from the source - mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss

Can someone please guide what is the correct format to be specified?

Thanks!
