Setting clocks ahead

Setting clocks forward in the Spring or when the system time needs to be set later than its current setting does not present any special problems.

If the system is not networked with other BRMS systems, do only Step 4. To change the system time on a networked system, follow steps 1–5.

  1. DSPPFM on QA1ANET in QUSRBRM and ensure that there are no records in the file. If there are records, then updates are not synchronized yet. Allow the records to synchronize to all systems before you change the time.
  2. Ensure that no BRMS operations are occurring on any system in the network, such as saves, movement, or maintenance.
  3. Hold the job queue Q1ABRMNET in the Q1ABRMNET subsystem. (Use the WRKJOBQ command).
  4. Change the clocks forward on all systems by using the CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QTIME) command.
  5. When the clocks on all systems are set, release the Q1ABRMNET job queue and resume BRMS operations.
