Time in the logs is incorrect with Web Viewer 14.0

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

How to set the time? Our Lpars are running Pacific time but this log in Web Viewer shows EST. Where is the timezone setting.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Output Management Web Viewer

Resolution

The timezone for the Java JVM is set in the STDENV DD of the Tomcat server.  In the sample CAHVCENV that is distributed it’s set to “America/New_York”:

 # Set Java Timezone

TZ="America/New_York"

export TZ

Adjust that by updating TZ, for example for “America/Los_Angeles”:

 # Set Java Timezone

TZ="America/Los_Angeles"

export TZ

For WebSphere, see IBM documentation Changing Time Zone Settings
