Re: Time change

[Tom Kreimer <tkreimer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will turn off QTIMZON and let everyone know in six months!   ;-)

I will consider a job to automatically end Domino when the time change is 
supposed to occur. At exactly 2am, it becomes 1 am again, correct? And in 
the spring 1 am jumps to 2am? 

SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is OK to use to keep the clock from 
drifting. I used it with V5R1 and Domino 5 & 6 and it makes very small 
adjustments that go unnoticed by Domino. My V5R3 SNTP server is not 
working, but that is a different problem.

iSeries Access has a new GUI time adjustment feature that will 'drift' the 
time change. Instead of an abrupt change, it will add or subtract seconds 
every minute (or milliseconds every second?) until the time changes by the 
offset you specified.  I don't know if it can be scheduled, but I was 
going to give that a try while Domino is running. I "was", that is, before 
it changed the time itself.

Two different issues.

QTIMZON is for the twice yearly that most of the country observes.
The thing I was talking about was syncing your i5 clock up to a time 
server to automatically adjust your clock if your i5 starts to run fast or 

slow.  Can happen whenever and numerous times.  We use it to sync all of 
our PC times and our iSeries and i5 times.

Re: Time change

They didn't say they wouldn't handle it in the future, just that there are
no plans right now.  If Walter Scanlon is monitoring, it would be
interesting to get his viewpoint.

As far as time adjustments, I believe you need to have the QTIMZON value
set which enables automatic adjustment.  I'm just going off of what I read
in the Information Center (which isn't very clear).  We are not using V5R3
yet, so I don't have any practical knowledge.

Thanks,
