APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After the Daylight Savings time change, the offset for the
    syslog-tcp log target does not reflect the change and is off by
    1 hour.
    

Local fix

  • Restart the DataPower Gateway
    

Problem summary

  • Time Settings object contains an internal field responsible
    for TimeZone offset shift. This value is updated only on
    commit of Time Settings object and becomes out of sync
    when a DST time shift occurs. This impacts Syslog Timestamps
    if they contain microsecond precision which includes DST offset.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
