I have a Windows 7 workstation running the client for Cloverleaf 5.6 and the timestamp is on GMT instead of CST. I read some other issues that mentioned Java as the culprit, but Java is on version 1.6.0_30-b12 and there are no other updates.

The time on the workstation is set to CST and autoupdate for daylight savings and is on the correct time and zone.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this client to show CST?

  I’m experiencing the same issue. It’s not a critical thing, but it’s annoying.
  
  It appears that the SMAT viewer in Cloverleaf dynamically adjusts the time based on time zone. If I change time zone from EST to CST, the time of a given message changes by an hour.
  
  So… my assumption is that my client, running in Vista SP2 compatibility mode on Win7, is not correctly reading the locale/time zone from Windows and is, therefore, defaulting to GMT.
  
  Does anyone out there know if we can somehow manipulate/force time zone in the Cloverleaf client?

  Is the time zone on the server set correctly? We had a similar problem with a unix server where its time zone info set by the vendor contained a typo.

  The server time is fine – and XP clients display time correctly. It’s only on Win7

  The server time is correct, and the client running on my XP laptop shows the correct time. It’s only on the Win 7 workstation that the time defaults to GMT.
  
  It’s so annoying that when I need to look at the SMAT files by time, or verify when the last message has gone through on a thread, that I go back to my laptop.

  SOLVED, sort of…
  
  I’m on version 5.6 which is not supported on Windows 7.

  Heck, I thought it was a big win to get 5.6 IDE to run on Wndows 7!
  
  I’m living happily with the GMT quirk and doing the math in my head…

  Being able to have Cloverleaf 5.6rev2 work enough on Win 7 to get us by until we get to Cloverleaf 5.8 would be a big win for us, too.
  
  I would be interested to know how you got the Cloverlead 5.6 IDE to install and work on Win 7 because we tried and failed.
  
  I was able to install and launch Cloverleaf 5.6rev2 on Win 7 but it acted randomly and didn’t really work much at all.
  
  If you can tell me were I went wrong, here were my steps that I tried:
  
  Code: 1. copied the 5.6 client CD to the local hard drive 2. right clicked setup.exe and changed the compatibility mode to XP SP3 3. right clicked setup.exe and ran as administrator, installation ran normally with no errors 4. manually copied the Rev 2 files to the local locations
  
  I got these steps from this post
  
  ~~<a href="~~https://usspvlclovertch2.infor.com/viewtopic.php?t=4155″ class=”bbcode_url”>https://usspvlclovertch2.infor.com/viewtopic.php?t=4155
  
  which stated that it worked for Cloverleaf 5.7rev1.
  
  Until today I had not seen any hope that Cloverleaf 5.6 might work enough to use on Win 7.
  
  If anyone that has Cloverleaf 5.6 somewhat useable on Win 7 can recall the steps you did to get as far as you have and can share them with us, I would like to try and see if I can duplicate your marginal success.
  
  I could certainly live with bogus SMAT times to bridge the gap and move forward with getting off Windox XP and onto Win 7.

  I installed it normally and it behaved unacceptably.
  
  I tried running it in XP compatibility mode with the same effect.
  
  The breakthrough came when I read that 5.6 works with VISTA. I set it to run in Vista SP2 compatibility mode and it works great – with the exception of the GMT datestamp in SMAT.

  I installed it without issue. The only caveat is that when you run the installation, you have to run it as Administrator. Just right click Setup, then select “Run as Administrator”.
  
  After that, I had no problems.

  THANK YOU SO MUCH!
  
  I now have Cloverleaf 5.6rev2 installed on Win 7 and seems to run okay so far.
  
  Here are the steps I used:
  
  Code: 1. copied the 5.6 client CD to the local hard drive 2. right clicked setup.exe and changed the compatibility mode to Vista SP2 and the privilege mode to run as an administrator. 3. right clicked setup.exe and ran as administrator, installation ran normally with no errors 4. manually copied the Rev 2 files to the local locations 5. set properties on IDE to compatibility mode Vista SP2.
  
  I had success on both a VMware Win7 workstation and a standalone dedicated Win 7 desktop.
  
  I plan to convert my desktop to Win 7 and run for a while and if that holds up good enough then then I will do the same for the rest of our integration team.
  
  This will allow us to come in compliance with our enterprise effort to get everyon on Win 7 for their desktop PC.

  I assume you’re seeing GMT in SMAT?

  Yes, I’m seeing GMT in SMAT but count me as one of those that are willing to make that trade off to get on Win 7.

  We are using 5.4.1 and since my math is ?able
  
  In the 5.4.1 GUI…Options->Client Options->Advanced tab…enter -Duser.timezone=
  
  Example i’m in Central Standard Time:
  
  -Duser.timezone=CST
  
  You need to enter the hyphen first on the parameter.
  
  Thank teammate of mine …..Jason L for the fyi

  I just found this post.
  
  Setting this flag to my time zone works great!
  
  Thanks for the solution Michael!
