Fixing a time zone change issue after SP-27 installation

This article applies to:

• SIEM 1.2.1 SP-27

Question:

• Time zone was incorrectly set to EST
• How can I correct the time zone after installing SIEM SP-27?

Procedure:

The SIEM SP-27 installation script changes the time zone setting to EST.

Below is an extract from an example install.log:

installing patch SP-27.tar

[20160308-031434] Tue Mar 8 03:14:34 EST 2016

master_script is done

finished patch SP-27.tar

As a result the time zone has been changed to EST. 

Workaround: 

1. Log in to the system with an account with administrative privileges.
2. From the SIEM interface, select Admin   > System Management > Date /Time
3. In the time zone menu, you will see the original (correct) timezone.
4. Choose a different timezone, and then click Save.
5. Choose the original desired time zone, and then click Save.

Notes:

This issue will be corrected in SP-28. SP-27 has been withdrawn from release and will be replaced by SP-28.
