Hello gurus,
since yesterday when the system time has swithched to summer time in Germany I have below errors when starting the agents on our systems:
****@*****: /oracle > su - ora*** -c /oracle/product/agent10g/bin/emctl start agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 3 Grid Control 10.2.0.3.0.

Starting agent ....... failed.
The agentTZRegion value in /oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties is not in agreement with what agent thinks it should be.Please verify your environment to make sure that TZ setting has not changed since the last start of the agent.
If you modified the timezone setting in the environment, please stop the agent and exectute 'emctl resetTZ agent' and also execute the script mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn(<agent_name>, <new_tz_rgn>) to get the value propagated to repository.
Consult the log files in: /oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/log
So I tryed the suggested resetTZ, but get below errors:
root@******: /oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/log > su - oradeu -c /oracle/product/agent10g/bin/emctl resetTZ agent

resetTZ failed.
The agentTZRegion in:
/oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties
is not in agreement with what the agent thinks it should be.
Fix your environment.
Pick a TZ value that corresponds to time zone settings listed in:
/oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/admin/supportedtzs.lst
I checked the TZ settings:
*****> echo $TZ
MEZ-1MSZ,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00
*****: /oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/config > more emd.properties|grep agentTZ
agentTZRegion=+01:00
which is the reason for the difference of 120min as shown by the resetTZ I assume because AIX system time says MEZ -1 and emd.properties finds GMT+1 which gives a difference of 120min.
I already applied the patch 5632264 to the agent, but the issue still exists.
When I manipulate the envirement TZ to GMT+01:00 the agent starts again, but this is no solution. Also patching the TZ of UNIX/AIX is no solution because this will cause other issues.
Any ideas how I can get the agent working again?
ps. I already tried a reinstallation of the Agent, but the issue still exists.
Thank you
