Scenarios: Working with time zones and time adjustments

 

These scenarios help you take full advantage of the time management function. They serve as a guide for completing specific tasks. Each scenario describes a specific situation and identifies how to use time management to meet your business needs.

• Scenario: Creating a time zone using a message file for abbreviated and full names
  You can create a time zone that uses a message file. The message file contains the full and abbreviated time zone names.

• Scenario: Changing DST start or end due to time-sensitive programs
  Time-sensitive programs scheduled to run during the time frame at which daylight saving time (DST) either starts or ends might encounter unpredictable results. To avoid this situation, you can change when DST starts or ends on your system.

• Scenario: Adjusting the system time 3 minutes
  You can manually adjust the system time by 3 minutes. A time adjustment is different from changing the time of day system value. A time adjustment is the suggested method for system time changes.
