Verifying the time zone properties

You can view or change the Time zone system value.

You can use a time zone that is supplied with the system or create your own time zone. If you want to edit a time zone that is supplied with the system, you need to create a new time zone based on the supplied time zone. This ensures that the edited time zone is not replaced when the IBM i operating system is upgraded or reinstalled.
  1. From IBM Navigator for i, expand Configuration and Service > Time Management.
  2. Right-click on Time Zones and click Open.
  3. On the Time Zones dialog, verify that the time zone specified in the Current time zone system value field is correct.
    1. If the current time zone is not correct, select a time zone from the list of available time zones and click Change system value. Otherwise, create a new time zone.
    2. Click OK to confirm the system value change.
  4. Select the current time zone from the list of available time zones and click Edit.
  5. On the General page, verify that the Offset is specified correctly.
  6. On the Daylight Saving Time page, verify that the daylight saving time start and end times are specified correctly, if applicable.
  7. Click OK to close the time zone properties.
  8. Click OK to close the Time Zones dialog.
