Error description

  not allow for setting of the desired time zone.

  Circumvention:
  In the CD 2.0.1 Helm Charts package, there is the configmap.yaml
  file under 'templates' folder.  Add the following in a separate
  line at the end of the file under 'data' section like other
  'ITX_RS_XXX" environment variables. The environment variables
  specified in the configmap.yaml would be used/set for the
  container environment. Set the following:
  
  TZ: EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
  
  NOTE: YAML is strict when it comes to indentation. Please note
  to use proper indentation when adding this environment variable
  TZ to the existing list of variables.
  
  Also, EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2 means TZ set to EDT for 2nd
  Sunday in March to 1st Sunday in November, both at 2AM.
  
  This is intended as an example to give an idea about the syntax
  meaning for the TZ environment variable specified above.
