Managing system time

 

You can manage your system time in various ways. You can use a time maintenance application to make time adjustments, or you can manually specify a time adjustment.

In addition, you might want to view a job's time to ensure that the time zone is specified correctly.

• Updating system time
  You can adjust system time using a time adjustment, which is the preferred method. If you need to change the system time immediately, you can manually change the system time using the time of day system value.

• Viewing a job's time
  If you have specified a new time zone, you can view a job's properties to make sure that the job is running with the proper time. You might also want to view a job's properties if you have configured a time maintenance application.

• Verifying the system values related to time
  You can view or change the system values related to time on the i5/OS^® operating system. These system values include time of day (QTIME), offset from UTC (QUTCOFFSET), and time zone (QTIMZON).
