Method 1: Delay DST for the current time zone

One way to solve the problem of having jobs scheduled to run during the starting or ending of daylight saving time (DST) is to delay DST.

To delay DST for the current time zone, perform the following steps.
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections > server-name > Configuration and Service > Time Management > Time Zones.
  2. View the time zones listed in the Available time zones field and select the system's time zone.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. On the Daylight Saving Time page, change the Daylight Saving Time Start or End field to a time when time-sensitive jobs are not active.
  5. Click OK to save and close the time zone properties.
  6. Click OK to close the Time Zones dialog box.

The DST start or end occurs during the time value specified. If you do not want to use these time values for the next DST observance, be sure to change the time value back to the original start or end time. This ensures that it is set correctly for the next DST observance.
