Messages in the log file display incorrect time zone

Description

An incorrect time zone is displayed in the log messages for certain versions of Java when the local time zone is not set properly in the TZ environment variable or in the Zone parameter located at /etc/sysconfig/clock.

Corrective action

You must perform one of the following:

• You must ensure that the correct time zone is assigned to the TZ environment variable.

  For example, TZ=America/New_York

• If the TZ environment variable is empty, then you must ensure that the Zone parameter located at /etc/sysconfig/clock is set to a correct time zone.

  For example, ZONE=America/Los_Angeles

You can also resolve this issue by changing the value of JAVA_HOME to JDK 7 (b72) or later.
