JBoss fails to deploy Appian with the following error, seen in the application server log:
ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/suite]] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 61) JBWEB000287: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.appiancorp.common.config.ConfigurationLoader: com.appiancorp.common.config.FatalConfigurationException: com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianException: Aborting application server start up.

WebLogic deployment fails with the following error:
Appian requires that the JVM timezone be set to GMT. Use -Duser.timezone=GMT when starting the JVM.
This error is seen even though the user has set the right arguments from the WebLogic Admin Console.
Appian requires the application server JVM’s timezone to be set to GMT for the successful deployment of the application. Setting it to any other timezone would cause the deployment to fail with the above error.
Weblogic ignores the JVM arguments when set via the WebLogic Admin Console.
For Windows, edit standalone.conf.bat present under <JBOSS_HOME>\bin and set the following variable:
<JBOSS_HOME>\bin
set JAVA_TIMEZONE=GMT
For Linux, edit standalone.conf present under <JBOSS_HOME>/bin and set the following variable:
<JBOSS_HOME>/bin
JAVA_TIMEZONE=GMT
Set the JVM settings via the setDomainEnv.sh script as described in Configure JVM Settings.
setDomainEnv.sh
This article applies to all versions of Appian.
