Synchronization issue in multi node system in different time zones
Hi
We have our Dev VM in US and connected to the same (Database) by using my local tomcat. I could observe a few synchronization issues and also the rule got corrupted some times.
To connect to my Dev VM the only change i did was to update my context.xml with that of the Dev servers' context.xml file.
Is it recommended to have all the multi node systems in the same timezone or is there any other configuration required?

you can set timezone of your tomcat by editing setenv.bat with following JVM arg:
-Duser.timezone="America/New_York"
Check Tomcat documents for exact syntax.
Using same timezone in your local tomcat will help in overcoming synchronization issue.

Yes, all servers should be on the same timezone and also follow this to make sure clocks are synchronized: https://pdn.pega.com/how-synchronize-server-clocks-and-database-clocks-ntp-correct-service-level-computations. Also pay attention to pega0055 alerts if there are any: https://pdn.pega.com/understanding-pega0055-alert-clock-drift-exceeded-configured-time-threshold
