Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1
  
  The timestamp used to create the RSEDAEMON log file name is
  2 hours off when TZ=Israel.  It seems that GMT time is used
  instead of IST.
  
  For example, the log file is created with the name
  rsedaemon.RSED#20151105120310.log.
  However, the first entry in the log file has a timestamp of
  2015.11.05 14:03:10.417 IST.
  
  Conversely, the RSE server log file time is created with the
  same time as the first entry in the log file.  For example,
  the RSE server log is created with this name:
  RSED#20151105140310.log.
  The first entry in the RSE server log file is:
  2015.11.05 14:03:28:185 IST

  01.The timestamp used to create the RSEDAEMON log file name is
     2 hours off when TZ=Israel. GMT time is used instead of IST.
     For example, the log file is created with the name
     rsedaemon.RSED#20151105120310.log. However, the first entry
     in the log file has a timestamp of 2015.11.05 14:03:10.417
     IST. Further, the 'Changed' timestamp for a PDS member is
     written in GMT time zone in some host configurations.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.There are several logics to calculate timestamps in native
     host modules. All of the logics in the native host modules
     are updated to calculate timestamps based on the time zone
     offset information provided from java modules. All of
     timestamp information generated from RDz should be
     controlled by Java after applying the fix.
