Verify the system values related to time

View this topic to verify the system values that relate to time on the iSeries™ server.

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand My Connections > server-name > Configuration and Service > System Values > Date and Time.
2. On the Time page, determine whether a time adjustment is in progress or not.
   1. If an adjustment is in progress, the Time of day field will not reflect the adjusted time value until the adjustment is complete. Continue to Step 4.
   2. If an adjustment is not in progress, continue to the next step.
3. Verify that the Time of day is correct. See Update system time to make the proper time adjustment.
4. Verify that the Offset from coordinated universal time (UTC) is correct.
   1. If it is not correct and you are using V5R3 or later IBM^® iSeries Access for Windows^® with i5/OS™ V5R3 or later, you need to verify the time zone properties. The offset from UTC is determined by the time zone being used on the system.
   2. If it is not correct and you are using V5R2 or earlier IBM iSeries Access for Windows with i5/OS V5R3 or later, you need to verify the time zone (QTIMZON) system value using the character-based interface. Use the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command.
   3. If it is not correct and you are using V5R2 or earlier IBM iSeries Access for Windows with OS/400^® V5R2 or earlier, change the Offset from UTC system value to the correct value.
5. Click OK to close the Date and Time system values.
