  the MQ appliance. This problem likely to occur on the appliances

  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of MQ Appliance in timezones with DST support
  
  
  Platforms affected:

  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The DST information was not in sync between the TimeZone value
  used by the lower-level firmware layer and the MQ error log
  Daemon.  Hence , there was one hour difference between the
