STP is Server Time Protocol. It replaced the function of the 9037 Sysplex Timer, and IIRC it became available on the z9. There is a real need if you are running a parallel sysplex. STP use SNTP to synchronize to an NTP server, but AFAIK, NTP does not provide sufficient resolution to synchronize the TOD clocks in a parallel sysplex. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
