Time mismatch in CASPOOL and JAVA Transformer started task logs

Products

• Spool

Issue/Introduction

We are getting different time stamps in our CASPOOL and Java transformer Started task logs for the same job/task. 

For example, below is a sample log of a job from Java Transformer:

20:52:08 ESF4331 File   1802 XXXXXX(CASPOOL/YYYYY ) - A2PD transformed into file   1803 -     16 pages    19329 msecs

 

And below is the sample log for the same file in CASPOOL:

CASPOOL 13:52:14  ESF106  FILE   1803 PURGED, OWNER=XXXXX DEST=YYYY INITIATED BY NODE PURGE=YES

Where do we correct the timestamps for Java Transformer and CASPOOL?

 

 

 

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Spool

Resolution

You can use the TZ variable in the CAIQENVA member (or whatever the member named pointed by the STDENV DD statement of the Java Transformer started task).

For example, for United States Eastern time zone you should include:

TZ=EST5EDT

Here are other possible values: 
Time zone code Time zone CUT offset 
CUT0GDT Coordinated Universal Time CUT 
EST5EDT Eastern United States CUT-5 
CST6CDT Central United States CUT-6 
MST7MDT Mountain United States CUT-7 
PST8PDT Pacific United States CUT-8 
AST9ADT Alaska CUT-9 
HST10HDT Hawaii CUT-10

This TZ variable is an IBM USS setting. See the link below for details about the syntax:
