Re: Time Changes

["Patrick Trapp" <ptrapp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the early to mid R5 releases, my (vaguely-remembered) experience was 
that the time on the Domino server would be out of square with the world 
for a while.  The iSeries would change successfully, the Domino server's 
time would be off by an hour until the next server restart (which was 24 
hours later, when the backup procedure ran).  Seems like there was 
something that was a bigger concern, but it escapes me at the moment.  The 
server ran fine and the only reports I got from clients were that the time 
on their mail messages were wrong.

The scheduled job I referred to earlier takes the Domino server down, 
changes the time system value and the offset value (so my time zone 
relative to GMT is accurate in the mail headers), and restarts the Domino 
server.  Or it did last year.  I haven't had time to correct what I 
flubbed this year.  ;-)

Time Changes






I have been running Domino since 2000 on ISeries (Release 5.3 then and 
6.5.3 now) and have never had a time change problem. Of course, I run a 
scheduled job at 2 AM on the proper Sunday to set the time system value 
ahead or back one hour.
