Yawn. Another 'your mainframe is busted because my PC don't work right'. The concept of a time base in GMT and a local offset is common to most platforms.
We run GMT+offset, and no, we don't bring anything down. We just issue the set clock command. What records are they talking about? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Petersen, Jim Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 4:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How many of your sites use GMT Time? This is cross posted to DB2-L and IBM-MAIN. How many of you (companies), especially those running SAP, run GMT Time with NO offset so that during Daylight Savings Time, the systems don't need to be brought down. We are hearing from our SAP Server folks that although DB2 Time Stamps its logs with GMT even if you are using an offset, the records passed back to the SAP Servers contain LOCAL time which causes problems during Daylight Savings Time changes. We are getting severe pressure from our SAP folks to run the z/OS LPARs LOCAL=GMT. ___________________________________________ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
