System time is incorrect and jobs are not running with the proper time
If your system time is incorrect and your jobs are not running with the proper time, your time settings might not have been specified correctly.
The local job time is equivalent to the system time; therefore, if jobs are not running with the proper time, your system time might not be specified correctly. The system time relies on a number of settings that relate to time.
Any of the following conditions can lead to your system time being incorrect:
- The time zone is not specified correctly.
- The offset from UTC (QUTCOFFSET) system value was not set properly during installation.
- A time adjustment might be in progress; thus, the system time has not reached the appropriate time value yet.
- The time zone properties might be incorrect.
Recovery steps
Complete the following steps to ensure that your time values are specified correctly and to determine how to set the system time correctly:
- Verify the time zone properties are correct.
- Verify the time system values are correct.
