We have a landscape for Europe, which is approaching the day light savings switch.
I need help with few questions.
1. Can you share your experience how your systems are being handled for EST/CST/PST or Europe timezone's.
Are you shutting down the SAP and DB for 2 hours 10 mins during switch?
2. On the zOS, we have set the following parameter.
T TIMEZONE=E.02.00 and
SET TIMEZONE CES
is there a automatic setting that takes care of timezone change during day light time switch, so that we dont need to shutdown the LPAR(just restart the SAP and DB)?
Hello Vijay,
I don't think you need to shutdown the system, but note the following :
- Time zones on mainframe can be set on LPAR level only
- It is not possible to set different time zones for different databases running on the same LPAR
- It is required to run database and application servers in the same time zone (see DBA guide)
https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000275902011E.PDF
- It is required to have identical time zones for the application servers and SAP system time (see note 198411)
- Time zone can be changed for individual users in SU01 (or by the user
himself)
