Any DB2 recovery I performed was either to an IMAGCOPY or RBA value. I may 
be rusty, but there was not 'to a point of time' recovery. You can capture an 
RBA value from a point in time, but you use the RBA value. IMS keeps RBA 
values of logs, too.

In a SYSPLEX, you either run on the same box so the time is always the same 
or you have to have a Sysplex Timer (going away so start replacing them) or 
the new System Time Protocol (STP) feature in the newer boxes.
