RE: Single Partition Supporting multiple time zones

Looking at the source for EN_US locale, at the very bottom are the time entries.
In theory, you could control the time by setting each user profile to a locale for their time zone.
Locale . . .

I'm not sure of the impact of system jobs, would not be able to have multiple times for those jobs.

0555.00 LC_TOD
0556.00
0557.00 tzdiff 300
0558.00 tname "EASTERN"
0559.00 dstname "EDT"
0560.00 dststart 4,2,7,7200
0561.00 dstend 10,5,27,7200
0562.00 dstshift 1800
0563.00
0564.00 END LC_TOD

Have you looked at the Globalization manual? I have not but it might have help for you situation. The globalization website has these items of what the system can do:

- support your local language and country needs
- simultaneously support the language and culture of many different countries

Then there is a setting in user profiles - the locale - a locale defines what time zone the user is in - I'm pretty sure the globalization manual does discuss the use of locales.

Yes, from the globalization manual: "A locale is an object that can determine how data is processed, printed, and displayed."

There are over 40 pages about creating and using locales.

More than 25 years ago we did this by user profile. We updated our
application so that wherever a date or time was displayed we
retrieved it through a called program based on an attribute in the
user profile. We were only dealing with Eastern and Central U.S.
times but back then Indiana did not do DST so it was annoying to them to see the wrong time half the year.

It worked for us but required application changes.

There is not a native method within IBM i that I am aware of.

Is it possible to have one iSeries partition serving multiple
timezones/countries?

Right now we have 3 partitions one running for Europe , One for
ASIA and one for USA. There is no need to run it like that the only
issue is the timezone. Effort is to have one consolidated partition.

1. user login from (Country) they should see that their timezone If
they update some data it should be updated using their timezone.
2. All jobs scheduled should run based on country specific timezone.
