Verifying the time zone message properties

If the Standard Time names or the daylight saving time (DST) names for a time zone are not displayed correctly when you use a message file to retrieve the names, verify the time zone's message properties.

To verify the Standard Time names and the DST names for a time zone, follow these steps:

  1. From IBM Navigator for i, expand Configuration and Service > Time Management.
  2. Right-click on Time Zones and click Open.
  3. Select the time zone that you want to work with from the list of Available time zones.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. On the General page, ensure the Message file is specified correctly.
  6. Ensure that the Library name is specified correctly.
  7. Ensure Use name specified in message is selected.
  8. Ensure the Message ID is specified correctly.
  9. If your system is observing DST, complete the following steps to verify that the DST message properties are specified correctly:
    1. On the Daylight Saving Time page, ensure Enable daylight saving time is selected.
    2. Ensure that Use name specified in message is selected.
    3. Ensure that the Message ID is specified correctly.
  10. Click OK to close the time zone properties.
If the Standard Time names or the DST names are still not displayed correctly, continue with the recovery process of the troubleshooting topic My time zone is not displaying the Standard Time and DST names correctly.
