Can I change the TimeZone of WAS

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can i change the TimeZone of WAS ? If so how can i do that?

I want this becoz i am facing problems becoz my server timezone is IST and when i want to insert TIMESTAMP in the MAXDB the time which was inserting is Time of GMT and not the Time of IST.

So i am thinking that the WAS TimeZone is bydefault GMT. and i have to change it as IST(+5:30 GMT).

Pls help me . its urgent.

Thanks in advance,

RAM.

Hi Ram,

You can do this by specifing JVM option -Duser.timezone using ConfigTool (Hope you know how to use it. Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e8/f48b33f9a3423c9e688dfa56330e79/frameset.htm if not ). See <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdoc400/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.iseries.doc/info/ae/ae/adrtzval.htm">Supported user.timezone property values for the Development Kit for Java(R) 1.4</a>

Hi Maksim ,

Thankyou for your reply.

I opened the ConfigTool. It asked me "Do you want to use the Default DB Settings ". I selected Yes.

Now i want to check the TimeZone of the Server. And i want to change it as GMT+5:30 . But i didn't find any option to do this.

I selected "UME LDAP Data" Tab . In this tab there is a combo box named Configuration File. which value i have to select in this list. And where i have to change the TimeZone ?

Thanks in advance,

RAM.

Hi Ram,

1) open config tool

2) select yes

3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX"

4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=IST"

5) click "Apply changes"

6) restart your server
