Sam, A FAQ was posted on March 30 regarding the effects of time zone changes (including DST) on TSM. This FAQ describes the limitation that you ran into: that the TSM server must be restarted on z/OS systems whenever the system clock is changed. (What I knew as "MVS" has since been changed to "OS/390" and now "z/OS"... would you have read "z/OS" and understood that it also means "OS/390"?). You can find this FAQ by going to http://www.ibm.com and doing a search on 1164535, which is the knowledge base item number.

We are running TSM 5.1.8 server on OS/390 2.10. After the same problem last October, I talked to support and the answer was to set the _TZ environment variable in USS, which I did. Apparently, this had no effect. I still see the time stamps in the log correctly gain an hour, but all schedules are running as if still on standard time. Stopping and starting the server takes care of the problem. Has anyone experienced this and, if so, have you gotten around it? Thanks Sam Sheppard San Diego Data Processing Corp. (858)-581-9668
