Setting the time zone for a single application server

You can ensure that your application components use the correct time zone. How you do this varies by the operating system on which WebSphere Application Server is installed and, in some cases, by the scope required.

Why and when to perform this task

In some application environments, it is important that application server components use the same time zone.

To change the time zone setting for a single application server, add the user.timezone Java Virtual Machine (JVM) custom property to the configuration settings of a specific application server:

Steps for this task

  1. In the administrative console click Application Servers > server_name .
  2. Under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management> Process Definition Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties .
  3. Specify user.timezone in the Name field and the appropriate time zone in the Value field.
  4. Optional: Enter a description of the variable and the setting you specified.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Save your work.

    Make sure Synchronize changes with Nodes is checked, and click Save.

Result

All of the components of this application server use the time zone specified for the custom property.

What to do next

Stop and restart this application server. You must restart the server for the change to take effect.
