Lizette, I'm curious how this was handled in the pre-STP days?
Surely the same issue applied that in November the time appears to go backward for an hour and the application had to do something. Alan -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 15:18 To: [email protected] Subject: STP and Time Change We just implmeneted (it is only a couple of days old) the STP on our z10s. We have an application dependent on LOCAL time. So when the clock changes on Nov 6, we think this application will see 1am twice and have problems. So, is this correct, that if we do not use an IPL the STP will adjust the mainframe at 2am to 1am? In which case my bad application will see the 1am hour again. If so, then I think our only option would be to shutdown the LPARs at 1am (12:59) and then when it is the time, IPL so that 1am is only seen once by this application. The application itself cannot be down for 1 hour. POLITICS. Anybody have any other thoughts or comments?
