Hi Thomas, Thanks for the details...but would like to ask you that our AR System Server will mainly pickup the files from Java and OS for to work it over midtier.So if we directly update the the Java and OS files wont if be possible.
And if we dont apply the patch wont it affect the users next time..........so there needs to be some solution to overcome this issue. So managing these changes to US DST requires updates to the underlying JVM and OS being used by WLS WebLogicServer <-> Java Virtual Machine <-> OS. Correct me if i am wrong............... Let me know your views on this and what can be the best possible solution.
