    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    Java has a patch out for the earlier-Daylight-Savings-Time (DST) change which will occur in March. Should we patch the jdk in the aleph product directory? Will that be addressed in a service pack? Or is it safe to ignore it?

    Resolution:
    You need to update the JDK (Java Development Kit) runtime components in ALEPH.

    We are checking the possibility of creating a special patch for updating Java for each Ex Libris product, but if you don't hear from us before the time of the change (March 11), then please use the following:

    JDK US DST Timezone Update Tool - 1.0

    The tzupdater tool is provided to allow the updating of installed JDK/JRE images with more recent timezone data in order to accommodate the U.S. 2007 daylight saving time changes (US2007DST) originating with the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005.

    More information and package for download are available on the official site:
