SNTP is a standard part of z/os, at least as far back as 1.4. We
designated an LPAR to be our time base, and everything syncs to it. I
think it is documented in the OMVS system services. It is little more
than starting a task.
Z/os 1.7 offers a time reference traceable to NIST without the external
timer. Right now, our world is set to my wrist watch. Soon, we will be
in sync with the cosmos.

Subject: SNTP Question
I received this question and don't know the answer so I thought I'd send
it
out to a wider audience. The customer does not run PSplex and they do
not
have a sysplex timer.
I want to set a time server to synchronize the time of all servers
including
OS/390 and AIX servers.
In AIX, I just to set SNTP(Simple Network Time Protocol)services and it
will
be OK. But I don't know where it is possible in OS/390?
If it's possible, how can I set it?
