Inconsistent time and date in conman and planman output

If you notice inconsistent times and dates in jobs and job streams on an AIX® master domain manager, ensure that the system time zone is set correctly. For example, you might notice this problem in the job schedtime or start time, or in other properties related to date and time.

Cause and solution:

The problem might be due to an incorrect setting of the time zone. To set the correct time zone, perform the following steps on the AIX® master domain manager:
  1. Start smit (System Management Interface Tool).
  2. Select System Environments > Change / Show Date, Time, and Time Zone > Change Time Zone Using User Entered Values.
  3. Set the relevant time zone. For example, to set the Central European Time (CET) time zone, enter the following values:
    * Standard Time ID(only alphabets)                   [CET]
* Standard Time Offset from CUT([+|-]HH:MM:SS)       [-1]
  Day Light Savings Time ID(only alphabets)          [CEST]
  4. Restart the system to make the change effective.
