I have some sample code from Dave Jones that I was working on in the fall of 2013, but never came up with an incantation that quite works right. The time reported is off by about 18,000 seconds (5 minutes) while the z800 is off by about 79 seconds from the z/OS systems using the same NTP server as their trusted time source. The code still has that bug, issues diagnostic messages, and is in need of improved commenting and doc.
My goal was to compare the TOD from NTP to the TOD on a z/VM 5.4.0 system running on a z800 w/o any access to a trusted time source except the NTP server. The idea was to track gradual drift of the z800 TOD from the NTP, and when it grew "significant enough", send an automated e-mail to us z/VM sysprogs to schedule a z800 hardware TOD change. If no one else has a working solution, I can send it to you to finish. Let me know if you're up to the challenge! :-) Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's. -----Original Message----- From: CMSTSO Pipelines Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Cronin Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2014 08:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Retrieving the date/time from an ntp server Does anyone have any pipes code that can do this? -- bc
