I am working on a cloud system. The QTIMZON is set to :

Associated settings:
Offset . . . . . : -05:00

System value . . . . . : QUTCOFFSET
Description . . . . . : Coordinated universal time offset

Offset . . . . . . . . : -05:00 -24:00 to +24:00

now. I tried changing things and the offset stays at -05:00.

Is there some other setting I'm missing?
