Using the administrative console to adjust a server's time zone setting

Why and when to perform this task

You can set the TZ variable to establish the time zone that the administrative console uses for a specific server.

Note: For the TZ variable to function, the JVM property user.timezone must not be set.

Steps for this task

  1. For a base product environment, in the administrative console click Application Servers > server_name > Process Definition > Control > Environment Entities. For a network deployment environment, click Application Servers > server_name > Process Definition > Servant > Environment Entities.
  2. On the Custom Properties panel, click New.
  3. On the Configuration tab, under General Properties, enter TZ in the Name field.
  4. Enter the appropriate time zone in the Value field. Time zone names should include an offset and, in almost all cases, a daylight saving time zone name for consistent results.
    For example, you might specify EST5EDT for Eastern Standard Time, Daylight Savings Time.
  5. Optionally, enter a description of the variable and the setting you specified.
  6. Click Save changes to master configuration.
  7. Make sure Synchronize changes with Nodes is checked.
  8. Click Save.

What to do next

You must restart the server for the change to take effect.
