I don’t believe that would work. The definitive answer would be to open a Q&A with IBM support.

We already have NTP running on the windows boxes. I was asked if the mainframe could participate as a client, getting its time from a windows based NTP server. Thanks, Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Craig Pace Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 10:02 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SNTP client on z/OS If I am understanding your question correctly, you are wanting the mainframe to be the NTP correct? If this is the question, then the answer is yes. In fact, we once ran the SNTP server in both OS/390 V2R10 and z/OS V1R4 for just this so that the distributed systems could use the mainframe as their time source.

I've seen older threads on this subject that are several years old, and even then, I saw a lot of "yes it can" versus "no it can't". SO here's my scenario and question (based on management asking me). We are running a zBC12, 2 LPARs, z/OS 1.13, no sysplex. Can z/OS in this environment function as an NTP client without needing to buy/install/implement STP on the z? I've done some research/reading on this but haven't found the definitive answer. If somebody could point me to where the answer is, that would be much appreciated.
