Daylight Saving Time date change For VM users who are running on FLEX-ES systems. this may be of interest.
As many of you know, the effective dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) and "normal" time changes in 2007 for people in the USA and Canada. (People in other countries can stop reading now, this does not affect you.) If you are running a FLEX-ES system then the underlying UnixWare or Linux should be updated to reflect these new DST dates. If you do not update the DST dates, your system will continue to function properly, but the UnixWare or Linux displayed dates will be incorrect for several weeks in the spring and fall, possibly causing some operational confusion. Cornerstone Systems (with assistance from Fundamental Software) has packaged the required update files and procedures as a service to our Cornerstone customers. As part of our commitment to continuing support for all FLEX-ES users, we have decided to make this package available to anyone who wants to use it. (Normal disclaimers apply, of course.) If you want to apply this update to your FLEX-ES system, or if you just want to learn more about the DST date change, you can download the information, procedures, and needed files from our web site. Just go to http://www.csihome.com/csiforms/zFrame_DayLight2007_Contact.htm to provide a little tracking information, and that will take you to the page where you can download a .ISO CDROM image with either UnixWare or Linux procedures for the update. Note that the .ISO file is actually imbedded in or attached to the .PDF file of the instructions, so you only need to download the appropriate .PDF file and that will include the .ISO image. VM users should also update their TIMEZONE_BOUNDARY statements in the SYSTEM CONFIG to reflect these new dates. Mike Hammock Cornerstone Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]
