Configuring the multi time zone deployment feature

Configure the multi time zone deployment feature using the InfoSphere® MDM Configuration and Management component.

Procedure

  1. Access the InfoSphere MDM Configuration and Management component.
    Note: For information on using the Configuration and Management component, see Using the Configuration and Management components.
  2. Configure the following configuration parameters of the multi time zone deployment feature:
    • /IBM/DWLCommonServices/MultiTimeZoneDeployment/enabled – The value set in this configuration element (true or false) determines whether the multi time zone deployment feature is enabled.
      Attention: Once enabled, you should not disable multi time zone deployment feature using the configuration parameter. Doing so can result in data corruption. In order to safely disable this feature, you must first migrate your operational date accordingly. The InfoSphere MDM product does not include data migration tools, but if you take responsibility for migrating the operational data, then you can safely disable this feature using the configuration parameter.
    • /IBM/DWLCommonServices/MultiTimeZoneDeployment/defaultTimeZone – If the multi time zone deployment feature is enabled, the value set in this configuration element is used as the default time zone for conversions.
      Note: Users can override this default setting by passing the requesterTimeZone parameter in the request header.
