Description

Tibco Data Virtualization v7.0.7 introduces a new version of Postgres v9.6 for our meta db (repository).

Postgres recently dropped support for the "US/Pacific-New" timezone, so this may prevent linux hosts that contain "US/Pacific-New" timezones from allowing our TDV server to start.

You will see this type of message in our cs_monitor.log:

ERROR 2018-07-23 14:35:13.843 -0700 Monitor - Error initializing event logger: FATAL: invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "US/Pacific-New" 



You can also verify your linux host's affiliation with this timezone selection by the presence of this file:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific-New

 

Resolution

Rather than modify anything in the linux os (such as deleting the Pacific-New file), the easier workaround is to add this line to the top of our /bin/composite/.sh file:
export TZ='America/Los_Angeles'


This solution is only ideal for servers located in the PST timezone as it will set the default timezone to PST/PDT.
If your host is outside this timezone, but you still see this error and/or your os contains:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific-New

you can contact Tibco Support for further details.
Refer to internal tracking number CIS-70946.



 

Issue/Introduction

This concerns a first time install of v7.0.7.00.xx, or an upgrade to v7.0.7 from v7.0.6.00.xx or earlier. It may affect linux hosts on the west coast (PST timezone) more than others.
