Resolution

You can configure the timezone for CDT in the $SPECROOT/webtomcat/webswing/webswing.config file.

Find the -DJava.timezone setting, by default it's configured for ${ClientTimeZone}.

Change it to look like the following:

-Duser.timezone=CST6CDT

Restart  webtomcat by going to the $SPECROOT/webtomcat/bin folder and running ./stopWebTomcat and then ./startWebTomcat.

The WebApp will now show alarms in the CDT timzone.
