-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Gilmore Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 14:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Leap seconds and the Server Timer Protocol This is the title of a new this month IBM Techdocs White Paper, WP101091, by Gregory Hutchison, a PDF of which can be downloaded from the IBM Techdocs website. Some of you may well find his discussion of the distinction between the insertion (or, in principle, removal) of a leap second 1) by steering, which accomplishes the insertion|removal incrementally over a period of about 7 hours, or 2) by spinning on a lock for a full second, which does it in one gulp, helpful. Be aware that the next leap-second insertion will be at 11:59:59 UTF on 30 June 2012.
