Have you ever come across the below issue when starting any of the WSO2
Carbon servers,pointing to an Oracle database WITH ojdbc6.jar?Caused by: org.wso2.carbon.user.core.UserStoreException:

Well, if you have, all you have to do is, set the below JAVA property
in the terminal that you are running the server on, before starting the
server (+05:30 if you are in Sri Lanka. May vary from the location that
you are located at).export JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.timezone='+05:30'" The above setting will only take effect to the current terminal. Therefore, if you need to set this property permanently, all you have to do is, add it to the wso2server.sh as a new JAVA_OPT property (See below).

I am facing the same issue while connecting to oracle database. I set JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.timezone='+05:30'" on command prompt and run my connection program. but still its throwing same error. Can you help?

Hi Amit,

Have you given the command correctly? I see an extra quote in the command that you have given in the comment.

Could you try once again with - JAVA_OPTS='-Duser.timezone=+05:30' instead?

Regards,
Evanthika

Hi, it worked after using ojdbc14.jar instead the ojdbc6.jar. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the post. I tried same in windows machine with Vista. For that, we can add
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Duser.timezone='+05:30'

to the wso2server.bat file.

Thanks.
