PH20874: MAINFRAME (ZOS) AGENT IN DIFFERENT TIMEZONE THAN SERVER INCORRECTLY REPORTS LASTMODIFIED TIMESTAMP OF RESOURCES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Consider the following situation. If you install a ZOS agent in
  Japan which uses JST and then create a ZOS version on a server
  located in New York which uses EST, then the server will
  incorrectly record the last modified timestamp of the resources
  in the the version's package manifest. The server will interpret
  the timestamp in the locale time of the server. You will note in
  the component version, that the timestamp on artifacts are
  incorrect.
