Issues with time zone settings with vRA 8.16.0

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

if want to set timezone inside of a Polyglot (container) runtime.?

If there a way to include timezones inside of the Polyglot runtime to adjust timezones inside running script tasks and/or actions?

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.16.x

Resolution

There are no native support for altering the time zone of the vRA/vRO appliance or Polyglot runtime beyond UTC.

• The recommended approach for your PowerShell actions would be to manually adjust the time by converting UTC to your local time zone within the script itself.


• Using PowerShell’s System. TimeZone Info for handling time zone conversions will be the most flexible and reliable approach for maintaining the required time accuracy. 

Additional Information
