Issue/Introduction

Synchronization error in UIM after a timezone change that is not reflected.

Environment

Release : 20.4

Resolution

In order to get the tzdb.dat file update with the UIM version of jre (OpenJDK) I had to do the following:

Download the ziupdater.jar from:

https://www.azul.com/products/open-source-tools/ziupdater-time-zone-tool/

I then grabbed the latest timezone data from:

https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz

In my case I updated my windows system, so I put the .jar file in the ..nimsoft/jre/bin directory, and put the TZ file at the root of C: to keep it simple.

This was the command that I ran:

java -jar ziupdater.jar -v -l file://C:/tzdata.tar.gz

I could not get the Oracle timezone updater to work with our OpenJDK version.

as a reference I also have this as well:

Additional Information

You may need to run through this process again if you update your version of java and it had an older version of the timezone data.
