Time zone

In an end-to-end with fault tolerance capabilities environment, the work is scheduled in terms of controller local time.

When adding time-dependent jobs to the Symphony™ file, the scheduler converts that time to the local time of the FTA. The conversion is first from controller local time to GMT, then from GMT to FTA local time. The conversion succeeds only if the following conditions occur:
  • At host side:
    • You correctly set the local and GMT clocks.
    • The USS $BINDIR/zoneinfo directory contains correct time zone definitions.
    • For each workstation referenced through the TPLGYMEM statement, server and batch initialization statements contain a CPUREC(CPUTZ()) value matching the time zone value of the operating system where the agent runs.
  • At distributed side, you correctly set clock and time zone values for the operating system hosting each agent.
