Re: We're IST-2IDT, and switching back from UTC+3 to UTC+2 at 2AM Oct. 28th

2018-10-30 Thread Giliad Wilf
Here is something confusing me for several years:

The publication 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxa400/dtcutz.htm
 states TZ should be set at your  /etc/csh.login, but I will add your 
suggestion (/etc/rc) to my list of locations requiring modification whenever 
TZ's startdate/enddate are to be adjusted, just to be on the safer side.

Thank You and all contributors of insights into this issue.

If you "do not rely on local time", how can timezones and offsets matter to 
you?

Yes,

I did set TZ to IST-2IDT five months ago on /etc/profile, and at additional 
places , such as:

/etc/init.options
/etc/httpd.envvars
/etc/csh.login
/usr/local/zoneinfo

Something is still missing.
I can't believe an IPL is required for USS to pick timezone switch back.

Yup.  And DST boundaries are handled automatically for most locales.

IIRC, a couple weeks ago, Peter Relson said, make a business case and submit an 
RFE.
The archives of this list should be an indicator of how much human resource is

Not a complete answer, but USS (& I assume Unix in general) lets each user

Re: We're IST-2IDT, and switching back from UTC+3 to UTC+2 at 2AM Oct. 28th

2018-10-28 Thread Giliad Wilf
My fault !
 
TZ had to be expressed with startdate and enddate like this:
 
IST-2IDT,M3.4.5,M10.5.0
 
...where M.3.4.5 means start date is month 3, week 4, day 5 (Friday)
...and M10.5.0 means end date is month 10, week 5, day 0 (Sunday).

I suddenly recalled raising this issue half a year ago, searched the archives 
and found what was missing. 
Maybe I'm dealing with too many issues in parallel, and this one slipped away. 
 
Sigh...why couldn't USS pick this info from the CVTTZ?  Why is it necessary to 
maintain this switching date in two different formats?

For USS stuff, look in /etc/profile. There might be a TZ varable being set 
there.

Well, something did not work as I expected.
(My original post: 
https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1810=IBM-MAIN=D=420113 )

The command...
$TA STTZ,T=98.00,'$VS,''SET TIMEZONE=E.02.00'''
...issued on Wed. Oct. 24th did switch local time back from IDT (UTC+3) to IST 
(UTC+2) this morning at 2AM (local time switched back to 1AM), and I've 
corrected TIMEZONE statement at CLOCK00 to read "E.02.00.00" rather than 
"E.03.00.00", but USS still thinks we're on IDT.

Here are some USS commands I've issued this morning (I did not change anything 
on USS parameters since May):

IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >env

UTC is correct, and one can see 'TZ=IST-2IDT', and everything on z/OS is 
absolutely OK, except for USS.
USS still thinks we're three hours East.

Is IPL required anyway (which I don't believe is necessary), or am I missing 
something obvious ?

Good question.
Developers here do not rely on local time, but I want them to always see local 
time.
It has something to do with human perception of "reality".

If you "do not rely on local time", how can timezones and offsets matter to you?

Subject: We're IST-2IDT, and switching back from UTC+3 to UTC+2 at 2AM Oct. 28th

Hi All,

At 2AM on Sunday, Oct. 28th, Israel is switching from IDT to IST.

I have issued this morning a JES2 Automatic Command on all z/OS instances:
$TA STTZ,T=98.00,'$VS,''SET TIMEZONE=E.02.00'''

Currently, our CLOCK00 is:
TIMEZONE E.03.00.00
SIMETRID 00
ETRMODE  NO
ETRZONE  NO
ETRDELTA 10
STPMODE  NO
STPZONE  NO

When I show at office Sunday morning 9AM, I will also modify the line "TIMEZONE 
E.03.00.00" to read "TIMEZONE E.02.00.00".

Will this work, assuming no IPL will occur until Sunday morning?

Ah, I forgot to mention. We are a zDPT installation, running z/VM 6.4 and 
several z/OS guests on top, and as far as I know, do not rely on local time.
