Time Zones being wiped out

[Chris Trinidad]

Linda, from Nike has raised a valid observation i.e. "When we upgraded to 11.3.6 SP4 it wipes them [time zones] out, and it's a manual process to add them back in."

Ref: https://communities.ca.com/ideas/235731773#comment-233940187

We have had the same issue when applying a "cumulative" to an existing instance [11.3.5 with ORA].

Having the time zones wiped out by an application of a "cumulative" or with an upgrade, depreciates AE.

Is there a ready fix and/or a workaround ?

Thank you

A process that would backup the timezones before the upgrade, then report on differences and provide a quick and easy (and accurate) way to add back missing timezones would be really nice as well.
