Troubleshooting
Problem
My timezone of IBM Control Center is GMT -2, however the timezone of my operating system is GMT -3 (Brazil timeZone GMT -3).
When I run the configCC.sh it does not give me the option to change the timezone to GMT -3.
Symptom
Can not select the correct time zone for Control Center to reflect the current time in Brazil.
Cause
System was set to Brazil/East which is a deprecated time zone.
Since JAVA does not keep track of the changes made to Brazil time zones must manually alter the TIMEZONE.XML from the Web Console.
Also need to add new properties to configCC and runEngine
Diagnosing The Problem
configCC does not give the proper choice for the servers time zone
Engine logs are off by an hour on time stamps.
Resolving The Problem
Apply 6.1.2.1 iFix02 if you are at a earlier level
In configCC.sh add the appropriate offset -180 for GMT -3
JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR="$JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR -DTIMEZONE_OFFSET_MINUTES=-180"
JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR="$JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR -DTIMEZONE_OFFSET_MINUTES=-180"
In runEngine add appropriate time zones
JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR="$JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR -Dlog.timezone=Etc/GMT+3 "
JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR="$JAVA_SYSTEM_VAR -Duser.timezone=Etc/GMT+3 "
Edit TimeZone.XML from the Web Console and adjust the time zone picked in configCC, example below which is for no daylight savings time.
<timeZone>
<id>America/Sao_Paulo</id>
<displayName>Brasilia</displayName>
<rawOffset>-180</rawOffset>
</timeZone>
