Anychart datetime on the y_axis - oracle

Question

I am trying to show a trend of processes that run every day over time. Therefore I have a date which I call processing date, which I want to be shown on the X-Axis, and an end_time (date timestamp) since the end time can finish before or after midnight. Therefore I would like to be able to plot the data on the Y axis. I am using Oracle APEX v5, not sure which version of Anychart is running behind, maybe this is version related?
So far, I have not figured out a way for the values returned by my query to be plotted correctly when the values are dates. Is this possible? These are the settings of the y_axis, which when used do not show any data on the graph.
<y_axis >
<scale type="DateTime" mode="Normal" />
<title enabled="false" />
<labels enabled="true" position="Outside">
<font family="Tahoma" size="10" color="0x000000" />
<format>
<![CDATA[{%Value}]]>
</format>
</labels>
<major_grid enabled="False"/>
<minor_grid enabled="False"/>
</y_axis>
When I convert the dates to a number, they are plotted correctly, but so far I had no luck with trying to convert them back to a date using the settings/locale:
<settings>
<locale>
<date_time_format>
<format>%yyyy%MM%dd%HH%mm%ss</format>
</date_time_format>
</locale>
<animation enabled="false"/>
<no_data show_waiting_animation="False">
<label>
<text>#NO_DATA_MESSAGE#</text>
<font family="Verdana" bold="yes" size="10"/>
</label>
</no_data>
</settings>
I am using this to generate the test points with values:
select null as link, trunc (sysdate) as label, to_char((sysdate),'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') as end_time from dual
union
select null as link, trunc (sysdate)-1 as label, to_char((sysdate)-1,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') as end_time from dual
order by label;
The Value of the point ends up being "2016%MM20%HH00%ss", I tried changing the upper/lower case of the formatting to no avail. From the output it looks like the %vars cannot be used concatenated, but if that is the case, then I cannot use values to convert the dates...
Maybe this is conceptually wrong, but so far I have not found a way to plot these correctly. I hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
I managed to do it ignoring the XML from Apex and creating my own datapoints (I will post the complete answer later), this is a sample of the XML:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone = "yes"?>
<anychart>
<settings>
<animation enabled="false" />
<no_data show_waiting_animation="False">
<label>
<text>No data found</text>
<font family="Verdana" bold="yes" size="10" />
</label>
</no_data>
<locale>
<date_time_format>
<format>
<![CDATA[%dd-%MM-%yyyy %HH:%mm]]>

A new question is, can you help me understand why the tooltip does not get the correct value on the %Name?
<![CDATA[{%SeriesName} {%Name} {%Value}{dateTimeFormat:%HH:%mm}]]>
In the tooltip I am getting the following text on the first point is AEG 01-01-1970 00:00 23:35 and I was expecting, based on the name 01-03-2016 00:00 23:35
Thanks!
