Hi,
Spot on Bill. Thanks for everyone's help! Being able to cite a half
dozen other sites independently who confirmed this had occurred helped
change the focus from looking at what was unique here moving this along
and getting it recreated on an IBM test system very quickly. APAR
OA24361 is open to address this.

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
During Daylight Savings Time change the following message may be
issued by RMFGAT:
RMFGAT ERB307I III: MONITOR III DATA GATHERER ERB3GINI.
INTERFACE BPX1SDD FAILED. RETURN CODE: 0000 REASON CODE: 0000
.
ERB3GINI issues USS service BPX1SDD to dub the RMFGAT as a
permanent process. It is possible for this service to give a
return value of 0 or 1 when the process completes successfully.
ERB3GINI is treating any non-zero return value as an error and
is issuing ERB307I.
LOCAL FIX:
None, this message can be ignored as informational if the return
and reason code are both 0000

If they check for a non-zero return value from BPX1SDD, then this would
be the expected behaviour when the required setting was already in
effect. A return value of -1 from BPX1SDD is a bad result.
BPX1SDD is supposed to return the previous dub setting so, if the
previous call to BPX1SDD was still in effect, then the returned value
could
be non-zero because the dub value has already been set. If so, then
the result of the call to BPX1SDD was successful even if it was not
necessary so the return code and reason code are zero.
We saw this message on our test LPAR where we just change the time
zone. Other than the ugly message, RMFGAT did not appear to encounter
any problems after the time zone change,
Bill
