Hi Joe! We're running here NTP on all SAP DB/MaxDB-Servers without any known problems. But you should take care of
a) Daylight-Saving-Time (this could be a problem maybe) Our productive SAP R/3 systems - running with MaxDB - are shut down for the period of DST-changes. There is also a SAP note for this issue. Test instances of SAP DB (for internal applications) are NOT stopped during this period. But I don't know if there were any missing records. But actually no developer complained about missing records. Okay - normally they don't work on Sunday at 02:00 AM. b) Time hopping You should verify, that your time-source is ALWAYS reachable, stable and correct :-). For more information about this issue: http://www.ntp.org. Hope this helps a bit...
