I'm thinking that too, but I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this issue too? I'm sure people have, due to all the data center consolations that have taken place. Right now have our change management people looking into this for me too. I had asked this on a ITIL forum and the answer I got back was that it was not covered by any ITIL process, but is considered a local issue. Mark T. Regan, K8MTR CTO1 USNR-Retired (1969-1991)

Regan, K8MTR > CTO1 USNR-Retired (1969-1991) If I understand your question correctly, the systems currently physically in CST will move to the EST location, but still run as if they were at the CST location. That is, their local time will remain CST. The physical location in this case doesn't matter. Change control should still work as it currently does. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
