Gliding through semiannual time change *without IPL* is exactly what
running on true GMT/UTC buys you. We do take a few actions.

- Run a CICS transaction to refetch local time from the system. No
disruption.
- Bounce Netview. Affects only Netview.
- Bounce AFOP (Candle automation) Affects only AFOP, not the processes it
manages.

If you have a sysplex timer connected to each CEC, the time
change--technically the local time offset adjustment--can be programmed to
occur at a specified moment. You don't even have to wake up at 02:00.

Without a timer, you can issue a SET CLOCK command to make the adjustment.
