JTZU updates the time zone information in IBM-supplied releases and service refreshes
of the Java SDK and JRE. With this tool, you can adopt changes to DST when you are unable
to apply a service refresh, or when a service refresh is not yet available that incorporates
the time zone changes you need.
JTZU searches your system for IBM SDKs and JREs and updates each one found.
The tool works in two modes:
- Discovery mode identifies the Java instances that need updating and produces
a detailed log file, which includes the current time zone levels.
- Patch mode updates Java instances to apply the DST changes. You must stop your
Java applications when this process is running.
You can use JTZU to update individual Java instances or multiple instances on
local or network drives. The update process can be run automatically without user
intervention, or you can control which JREs and SDKs are updated. The flexibility
built in to the tool means that you can adapt the way it runs to suit your needs.
For further information about downloading, installing, and using JTZU, see the
Readme file.
JTZU v1.6.9p delivers time zone changes for:
- America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires
- America/Argentina/Cordoba
- America/Argentina/Tucuman
- America/Argentina/San_Luis
JTZU is supported on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Windows, and z/OS.
For more detailed information about the platforms supported and the SDKs and
JREs discovered and updated by JTZU, see the Readme file.
DST changes can be applied to Java on IBM i systems using the TZUPATCH tool,
which is included in the non-z/OS JTZU download package.
To see which time zone updates are included for different versions of JTZU, see
Olson time zone updates for Java JRE and SDK service refreshes for IBM products
Warning - Applying IBM product maintenance that contains earlier time zone data
will remove the updates applied by this tool. You must rerun this tool to restore the time
zone data to the latest level. Updates made to Java time zone data by JTZU are not managed by any
of the formal change control mechanisms for servicing IBM software products.
