You might be able to set your VTOD to UTC, depending on whether Pipelines uses the VTOD. I would not bet on it. The other possibility is to run your system on UTC rather than local time. At one time, during the great Y2K panic, I made the modifications to allow the diags to honor the VTOD. If you do that, you still have problems with programs that do their own STCK. It is not a privileged instruction, so it does not get intercepted by CP (and I presume it also does not get intercepted by SIE).
Our solution - all systems run on UTC with an offset of 0. It makes it easier to correlate logs from systems scattered around the world.
