oozie timezone settings

i am new to oozie and having problem in changing oozie default time zone. I am writing oozie coordinator job and have tried to specify timezone like 

<coordinator-app name="hello-coord" frequency="${coord:days(1)}"
                  start="2009-01-02T08:00Z" end="2009-01-04T08:00Z" timezone="GMT+05:30"
                 xmlns="uri:oozie:coordinator:0.1">

as explained here http://oozie.apache.org/docs/3.2.0-incubating/CoordinatorFunctionalSpec.html#a4._Datetime_Frequency_and_Time-Period_Representation but it does not work. Can anyone please tell me where do i go wrong?

Secondly, i want to get date time when the oozie workflow starts. Suppose i want to run a coordinator job for a past date, say a week ago, that job ran for a whole day with frequency of 15 mins. what i want is to have date time at the time when the workflow started.

Thank you very much for your precious time

You can try this also:

$ oozie info -timezones<br><br>

The format is "SHORT_NAME (ID)".

Give the ID to the -timezone argument.

GMT offsets can also be used (e.g. GMT-07:00, GMT-0700, GMT+05:30, GMT+0530)

Available Time Zones :

  SST (Pacific/Midway)<br>
  NUT (Pacific/Niue)<br>
  SST (Pacific/Pago_Pago)<br>
  SST (Pacific/Samoa)<br>
  SST (US/Samoa)<br>
  HAST (America/Adak)<br>
  HAST (America/Atka)<br>
  HST (HST)<br>
  ...

If the timezone you require falls under one given by this command you can directly use it in your coordinator.

Hello Junaid and ygnhzeus,

In order to Change your timezone in oozie, all you need is to go and change the default time zone in oozie-default.xml file.

**<property>
        <name>oozie.processing.timezone</name>
        <value>GMT+0530</value>
        <description>
            Oozie server timezone. Valid values are UTC and GMT(+/-)####, for example 'GMT+0530' would be India
            timezone. All dates parsed and genered dates by Oozie Coordinator/Bundle will be done in the specified
            timezone. The default value of 'UTC' should not be changed under normal circumtances. If for any reason
            is changed, note that GMT(+/-)#### timezones do not observe DST changes.
        </description>
    </property>**

Now just stop the oozie and restart it again. Thank You, Amudhan K, Data Engineer.
