Starting in 2007, the Daylight Saving Time (DST) rules are changing in the United States and Canada. DST now begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. To ensure that your UA installations continue to function correctly, you must install a Java patch, or upgrade to UA 8.0.
Installing the Java DST Patch
Download the Java DST Patchhttp://java.sun.com/javase/tzupdater_README.html.
Extract the tzupdater-1_0_0.zip file. The .zip file is extracted into its own folder.
Copy the tzupdater.jar file to the %UA_HOME%\JDK1.4.2_06 directory.
Open a Command Prompt window (DOS shell), and navigate to the %UA_HOME%\JDK1.4.2_06 directory.
At the command prompt, enter:
jre\bin\java -jar tzupdater.jar -t
This shows if the update is reuired. If it is, a long list
of messages is returned, at the end of which is the message Validation
tests failed. If the update is not required,
nothing is returned.
Stop the UA Windows Service if it is not already stopped.
Run the DST patch with verbose messages by entering:
jre\bin\java -jar tzupdater.jar -v -u
Verify the patch is applied by running the command:
jre\bin\java -jar tzupdater.jar -t
If nothing is returned, the patch is successfully applied.
Restart the UA Windows Services.
