<div><p>Record and print system values. Check the QSYSLIBL, QUSRLIBL, QALWOBJRST,
and QVFYOBJRST system values.</p>
<p>System values are IBM-supplied objects that can be modified from their shipped
value to tailor certain aspects of the operating system to your environment.
The software installation program will overlay these objects on your system
with values that are supplied on the installation media.</p>
<p>IBM also recommends that you first <a href="settingtimezone.htm#settingtimezone">create
a data area to specify your system time zone</a> before you upgrade to <span>V5R4</span>. This data area is used when you upgrade to set the time
zone system value. By doing this, the time zone used on the system is set
immediately. </p>

To ensure that your installation runs smoothly, check the system library list (QSYSLIBL), user library list (QUSRLIBL), allow restore of security sensitive objects (QALWOBJRST), and verify object signatures during restore (QVFYOBJRST) system values.</li>

IBM recommends that you specify the system time zone before you upgrade to the new release. This ensures that your system time is set properly as soon as the upgrade is complete.</li>
