Depending on the condition that led you to stop SNTP, you might want to consider these additional recovery steps:

  2. Verify that the connection between SNTP and the external time source is working properly.
  3. If you are using IBM i V5R3, or later, verify that the Time zone system value is specified correctly.
  4. If you are using OS/400 V5R2, or earlier, verify that the Offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) system value is specified correctly.
