Set Time Zone

Access the ECX Administrative Console to set the time zone of the ECX appliance.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

  • Install ECX by deploying an OVF template. This creates a virtual machine containing the application on a VMware host such as an ESX or ESXi Server. See Install ECX as a Virtual Appliance.

To set a time zone:

  1. From a supported browser, enter the following URL:
  2. https://<HOSTNAME>:8090/
  3. where <HOSTNAME> is the IP address of the virtual machine where the application is deployed.
  4. In the login window, select System from the Authentication Type drop-down menu. Enter your password to access the Administrative Console. The default password is ecxadLG235.
  5. Click Perform System Actions.
  6. In the Change Time zone section, select your time zone. A message stating the operation was successful displays. All ECX logs and schedules will reflect the selected time zone. The selected time zone will also display on the ECX appliance when logged in as a root user.
  7. To view the current time zone, select Product Information from the main Administrative Console page. The displayed time updates every five seconds.

If instances of ECX reside in time zones that differ from the ECX appliance, the instances can be synced to the time zone of the ECX appliance instead of the time zone of the instance. In some cases, a user may wish to schedule ECX jobs based on the ECX appliance's time zone over their local time zone. Perform the following procedure to sync the time zones of the ECX instances with the ECX appliance:

To sync time zones of ECX instances with the ECX appliance:

  1. Follow the procedure above to set the time zone of the ECX appliance.
  2. Log in to the ECX appliance as a root user, and edit the following file: /opt/virgo/repository/ecx-usr/com.syncsort.dp.xsb.api.endeavour.session.properties.
  3. In the property file, set useServerTime to true, then save the file.
  4. Restart the ECX appliance through the following commands:
  5. service virgo stop
  6. service virgo start
