Re: AIX java update for DST

From IBM website (DST will affect IBM Java)
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/enews/2006/12/DST_Java.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
""
IBM Java 1.4.2:

32 bit -
Upgrade to at least IBM Java build ca142-20060421 (SR 5) which is APAR IY84053,
Recommend upgrading to the newest build. *

( * ) The above identifier to Java builds covers only US DST changes. To get Canada and Bermuda DST changes in your Java, you need to upgrade your Java build to SR10iFix (targeted in November 2006), SR7 (targeted in November 2006) and SR4 (targeted in January 2007) for Java 131, 142 and 5.0 respectively.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am confused by the above notes from IBM website. I assume which APAR to be applied depends on the time zone but not country.

Could someone please tell me, if I am in Canada EST, whether APAR IY84053 can fix the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone downloaded and installed the java update yet for the new DST
changes in the US?

I downloaded it from
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/dst/index.html and installed
it.

I'm trying to install it and I'm getting this:

==============================================
# ./runjtzu.sh

================================================
I'm getting the same error on 3 different machines, two of which are
running AIX 5300-05-01 and the other is running AIX 5.300-02.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
