SNTP is a standard part of z/os, at least as far back as 1.4. We designated an LPAR to be our time base, and everything syncs to it. I think it is documented in the OMVS system services. It is little more than starting a task.
Z/os 1.7 offers a time reference traceable to NIST without the external timer. Right now, our world is set to my wrist watch. Soon, we will be in sync with the cosmos. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of james smith Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 9:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SNTP Question I received this question and don't know the answer so I thought I'd send it out to a wider audience. The customer does not run PSplex and they do not have a sysplex timer. I want to set a time server to synchronize the time of all servers including OS/390 and AIX servers. In AIX, I just to set SNTP(Simple Network Time Protocol)services and it will be OK. But I don't know where it is possible in OS/390? If it's possible, how can I set it? James F.
