Viewing a job's time

If you have specified a new time zone, you can view a job's properties to make sure that the job is running with the correct time. You might also want to view a job's properties if you have configured a time maintenance application.

The local job's time is equivalent to the system time.

By viewing the job's time, you can determine whether your system time is set correctly. If the job is not running with the correct time, you can perform some troubleshooting actions.

To verify that jobs are running with the correct time, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the job in IBM® Navigator for i.
  2. After you have located a particular job, right-click the job and select Properties.
  3. On the Properties dialog, select the Date/Time page.
  4. View the Job local date and time field.
  5. If the job's date and time are correct, click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
  6. If the date or time of the job is not correct, verify that the following settings are correct:
    • The job's time zone
    • The offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
