How to edit timezone list?
We have three timezones using RTC. We would like to edit the timezone list that appears in the user editor to show only the 3 valid time zones so people stop picking the wrong ones. :) Is there any way to edit this list of time zones? The list is coming from somewhere - hopefully we can edit it.

Really? No one knows where this is stored?

Ok, I have some info. Still not sure what to do with it.
Timezone data is stored in data files in the directory "/usr/share/zoneinfo" However, the timezones appear to be further configured by the file "tzmappings" located in the directory "/opt/app/jazz/server/jre/lib" It is possible deleting some data files from "/usr/share/zoneinfo" would drop the timezones from the list, but I do not have root permissions on the server. Anything above /opt/app/jazz I cannot remove or overwrite. I tried editing the "tzmappings" file, but that appeared to have no affect. It also has the following warning in the file: # @(#)tzmappings 1.5 01/03/18 # This table describes mappings between Solaris time zone IDs and Java time zone # IDs. Fields are separated by a single TAB ('\t'). Lines must be in the ascending # order in ASCII. (non-ASCII characters can't be used.) # NOTE # This table format is not a public interface of any Java # platforms. No applications should depend on this file in any form. # This file has been generated using programs. Do not edit this file manually. What programs are used to edit the tzmappings file? This appears to be a secret as I could find no reference by Googling it. |
