Timezone configuration - IBM AS400
This is a discussion on Timezone configuration - IBM AS400 ; Hi.
I've configured SNTP service on my i5.
Now all i5's time is synchronized with our 'time server'.
Do I still need to configure sysval QTIMEZON?
My machines are in Poland.

IMHO yes, using SNMP you should supply your timezone, the remote server
replies with UTC time, but the client should be aware of how much
distant you are from UTC in order to calculate the time adjust, as
you'll no more able to change QUTCOFFSET sysval, you must act on it
though QTIMEZON.

Re: Timezone configuration
Another reason is normally the SNTP is set to reject time changes of
more than xx minutes. If this is set to less than 60, the time change
due to daylight savings might be rejected as out of range. Since
setting the time zone takes only a few minutes, I would go ahead an do
it anyway. Timestamps passed between servers can sometimes be
critical.
