If the application uses local time and will have problems during the second hour between 1:00 and 2:00, you will have to shut the application down for an hour. >So, is this correct, that if we do not use an IPL the STP will >adjust the mainframe at 2am to 1am?

Yes, unless you schedule it to occur at another time, which might cause other problems. >If so, then I think our only option would be to shutdown the >LPARs at 1am (12:59) and then when it is the time, IPL so >that 1am is only seen once by this application. The application >itself cannot be down for 1 hour. POLITICS. If the only way you can shut down the badly behaving application is to shut down the LPARs and IPL, then I guess that is what you have to do, as silly as it sounds to me. It does not have to be shut down at 1 AM. Any time between 1 AM and 2 AM will do. You could shut down the application at 1:30 and bring it back up an hour later at 1:30. -- 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
