Issue/Introduction

After upgrading WebFOCUS, some users are getting an error while saving a schedule as a result of a time zone not being provided.

Environment

Windows

Resolution

This problem can be fixed by adding the time zone. However, you must perform it manually each time.
Changing the Catalina.sh file will allow us to set this as the default.

Open the Catalina.sh file by navigating to "C:\ibi\tomcat\bin". Search for "JAVA_OPTS."
Finally, add this line, as shown below, at the end of the property.

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms4096m -Xmx8192m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Duser.timezone=Etc/UTC"

After adding the -Duser.timezone parameter and saving the changes, stop Tomcat. Delete the ibi\tomcat\work directory.
Restart Tomcat.
Once everything is up, create a schedule and try to save it. And this time you will not get any errors.
