Re: Run custom program during time change?

Jeff,
I had an IBM'r at Common describe Spring Forward as "speeding up the clock very fast - like within a minute" but I don't see any technical docs that say that. The same IBM'r said Fall Back will not re-execute jobs that have already run for that day.

This is the Frequently Asked Questions About WRKTIMZON and QTIMZON

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&dc=DB520&dc=D900&dc=D800&dc=DA900&dc=DA800&q1=daylight+savings+time+AND+AS400KBXXYYZZRCH&uid=nas183981a8af342445a8625726b00514e38&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=all

It is disturbing when it says the jobs scheduled between 2am and 3am will all run immediately, and in a random order. Almost like they planned it that way...

I am curious - I've checked several systems and all updated fine without any intervention. However, another site I know with many machines and partitions had most work but some not (no knowledge of what ptfs they had). Have others had problems?

It does not slowly adjust the time.

In the spring, it instantly jumps from 2am to 3am.
In the fall (last weekend), when 2am is reached, the time is set to
1am. See DSPLOG.

Loyd,

I could be wrong, but I was thinking that the OS gradually adjusted
the time, so when would it run the jobs you want it to?

With the V5R4+ automated time change functionality, is there a way to
execute custom programs when a time change occurs? There are settings in
other application packages that must take effect on the time change, and
I want to move away from scheduled jobs.
