Issue/Introduction

The events time displayed have the DST (Daylight Saving Time) computed, they are one hour ahead.

BRST - Brasilia Summer Time

BRT - Brasilia Time

By running the ziupdater tool we find the tzdata version:

cd /opt/CA/jre/bin

# ./java -jar /root/ziupdater/ziupdater-1.1.1.1.jar -V

ziupdater version 1.1.1.1

JRE tzdata version: tzdata2019a

 

Environment

Release : 20.2

Cause

In 2019 Brazil canceled DST and will stay on standard time indefinitely. This change was added in tzdata2019b.

Resolution

To update the tzdata on Oracle Java, use the tzupdater tool:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-tzupdater-downloads.html

To update the tzdata on AdoptOpenJDK, use the ziupdater tool:

To upgrade the embedded Java in PM, you have to upgrade the PM product.

The tzdata version must be tzdata2019b or above.

So the quickest way to resolve this issue in PM is to update the tzdata.

1) Download the desired tzdata version from:

https://data.iana.org/time-zones/releases/

2) Use the ziupdater tool to update the tzdata on the embedded Java in PM:

https://docs.azul.com/core/timezone-updater

java -jar ziupdater-1.1.1.1.jar -l file://<path to tzdata archive>

3) Then run the following syntax to confirm the tzdata have been updated successfully:

cd /opt/CA/jre/bin

./java -jar /root/ziupdater/ziupdater-1.1.1.1.jar -V

 

You may need to restart the PM application.
