Issue/Introduction:

All of the TDM Portal services write log entries in UTC.

Would like them to use PST instead.

How to you make this change?

Environment:

Release : 4.8.127.0

Component : CA Test Data Manager - TDM Web Portal

Resolution:

To change the timezone reflected in the TDM Portal logs:

Edit C:\Program Files\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\conf\logback-tdm.xml and make this change in two places in this file:

From (line 10):

%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z,UTC} [%-5p] [%-25t] --- [U:%X{USER}][M:%X{METHOD}][P:%X{PATH}]%50logger{20}%-2(:) %m%n%rEx

To (line 10):

%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z,PST} [%-5p] [%-25t] --- [U:%X{USER}][M:%X{METHOD}][P:%X{PATH}]%50logger{20}%-2(:) %m%n%rEx

and

From (line 32):

%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z,UTC} [%-5p] [%-25t] --- [U:%X{USER}][M:%X{METHOD}][P:%X{PATH}]%50logger{20}%-2(:) %m%n%rEx

To (line 32):

%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z,PST} [%-5p] [%-25t] --- [U:%X{USER}][M:%X{METHOD}][P:%X{PATH}]%50logger{20}%-2(:) %m%n%rEx

Restart service CA Test Data Manager Portal to pick up the new logging settings.

The new timezone will be reflected in all Portal log files.

Additional Information:

You can do this for CST or EST as well.
