Java time zone parameter has no affect.

[troy_sorbet]

I am attempting to set the timezone on a single stack Java instance to match the time zone settings on our ERP EHP6 system. I set the parameter

-Dusertimezone=CST and GMT-5 using the configuration manager, save the change and restart the JAVA stack.  Each time I restart the system I get the attached error in the default trace log and when I check system info page the timezone still shows as GMT. What is the proper abbreviation to use for US Central Time Zone.

OS is Windows 2008 R2 with the timezone correctly set. The DB is Oracle 11.2.0.4 and SAP is netweaver 7.0 EHP1.

Thank You in Advance

The error is listed in the attached file, sorry I can't get text to paste into the note.

This is the banner for the error message

"The specified time zone is not found in SchedulerTime config class"

In Solman (which is 7.02 Netweaver) I have the following value:

-Duser.timezone=UTC

Take note of the period between user and timezone.

See SAP KBA 1867012 for a list of valid values. That said the error is returned from the KM Scheduler service, meaning it isn't global. I assume your instance starts but only the KM Scheduler service doesn't start. If that's the case what is the SP level of your NW701 system? Applying SAP note 1675803 might solve your problem.
