[oracle] ORA-01882: timezone region not found

I'm accessing an Oracle Database from a java application, when I run my application I get the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01882: timezone region not found

This question is related to oracle jdbc timezone

The answer is


I had this problem when running automated tests from a continuous integration server. I tried adding the VM argument "-Duser.timezone=GMT" to the build parameters, but that didn't solve the problem. However, adding the environment variable "TZ=GMT" did fix it for me.


I had the same problem when trying to make a connection on OBIEE to Oracle db. I changed my Windows timezone from (GMT+01:00) West Central Africa to (GMT+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris. Then I rebooted my computer and it worked just fine. Seems like Oracle was not able to recognize the west central Africa timezone.


I also same faced similar issue.

Environment:

Linux, hibernate project, ojdbc6 driver while querying oracle 11g database.

Resolution

TZ parameter was not set in linux machine, that basically tell oracle about the timezone. So, After adding export statment "export TZ=UTC" at time of application start solved my problem.

UTC--> Change accorind to your timezone.


In a plain a SQL-Developer installation under Windows go to directory

C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin

and add

AddVMOption -Duser.timezone=CET

to file sqldeveloper.conf.


Facing the same issue using Eclipse and a distant Oracle Database, changing my system time zone to match the time zone of the database server fixed the problem. Re-start the machine after changing system time zone.

I hope this can help someone


What happens is, that the JDBC client sends the timezone ID to the Server. The server needs to know that zone. You can check with

SELECT DISTINCT tzname FROM V$TIMEZONE_NAMES where tzname like 'Etc%';

I have some db servers which know about 'Etc/UTC' and 'UTC' (tzfile version 18) but others only know 'UTC' (tz version 11).

SELECT FILENAME,VERSION from V$TIMEZONE_FILE;

There is also different behavior on the JDBC client side. Starting with 11.2 the driver will sent the zone IDs if it is "known" to Oracle, whereas before it sent the time offset. The problem with this "sending of known IDs" is, that the client does not check what timezone version/content is present on the server but has its own list.

This is explained in Oracle Support Article [ID 1068063.1].

It seems it also depends on the Client OS, it was more likely that Etc/UTC fails with Ubuntu than RHEL or Windows. I guess this is due to some normalization but I haven't figured out what exactly.


In Netbeans,

  1. Right-click your project -> Properties
  2. Go to Run (under Categories)
  3. Enter -Duser.timezone=UTC or -Duser.timezone=GMT under VM Options.

Click Ok, then re-run your program.

Note: You can as well set to other timestones besides UTC & GMT.


Happens when you use the wrong version of OJDBC jar.

You need to use 11.2.0.4


If this problem is in JDeveloper: Change the project properties for both the model and the view project -> run/debug -> default profile -> edit add the following run option: -Duser.timezone=Asia/Calcutta

Make sure that the above time zone value is fetched from your database as follows:

select TZNAME from V$TIMEZONE_NAMES;

Along with that you'd want to check the time zone settings in your jdev.conf as well as in the JDeveloper -> Application Menu -> Default Project Propertes -> Run/Debug -> Default Profile -> Run Options.


Update the file oracle/jdbc/defaultConnectionProperties.properties in whatever version of the library (i.e. inside your jar) you are using to contain the line below:

oracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false

This issue happens as the code which is trying to connect to db, has a timezone which is not in db. It can also be resolved by setting the time zone as below or any valid time zone available in oracle db. valid time zone which can be found select * from v$version;

System.setProperty("user.timezone", "America/New_York"); TimeZone.setDefault(null);


  1. in eclipse go run - > run configuration

  2. in there go to JRE tab in right side panels

  3. in VM Arguments section paste this

    -Duser.timezone=GMT

  4. then Apply - > Run


In my case I could get the query working by changing "TZR" with "TZD"..

String query = "select * from table1 to_timestamp_tz(origintime,'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss TZD') between ?  and ?";

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01882: timezone region not found

For this type of error, just change your system time to your country's standard GMT format

e.g. Indian time zone is chennai,kolkata.


I was able to solve the same issue by setting the timezone in my linux system (Centos6.5).

Reposting from

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/set-time.html

  1. set timezone in /etc/sysconfig/clock e.g. set to ZONE="America/Los_Angeles"

  2. sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

To figure out the timezone value try to

ls /usr/share/zoneinfo

and look for the file that represents your timezone.

Once you've set these reboot the machine and try again.


I too had the same problem when i tried to create connection in JDeveloper. Our server located in different timezone and hence it raised the below errors as:

ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 

ORA-01882: timezone region not found

I referred many forums which asked to include timezone in the Java Options(Run/Debug/Profile) of Project properties and Default Project properties as -Duser.timezone="+02:00" bBut it didn't work for me. Finally the following solution worked for me.

Add the following line to the JDeveloper's configuration file (jdev.conf).

AddVMOption -Duser.timezone=UTC+02:00

The file is located in "<oracle installation root>\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.conf".


I ran into this problem with Tomcat. Setting the following in $CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh solved the issue:

JAVA_OPTS=-Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false

I'm sure that using one of the Java parameter suggestions from the other answers would work in the same way.


ERROR :

ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01882: timezone region not found

Solution: CIM setup in Centos.

/opt/oracle/product/ATG/ATG11.2/home/bin/dynamoEnv.sh

Add this java arguments:

JAVA_ARGS="${JAVA_ARGS} -Duser.timezone=EDT"

Error I got :

Error from db_connection.java -->> java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01882: timezone region not found

ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1ORA-01882: timezone region not found

Prev code:

 public Connection getOracle() throws Exception {
     Connection conn = null;
     Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:tap", "username", "pw");
     return conn;
}

new Code:

 public Connection getOracle() throws Exception {
     TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata");
     TimeZone.setDefault(timeZone);
     Connection conn = null;
     Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:tap", "username", "pw");
     return conn;
}

now it is working!!
