Setting up the Time Zone in TSM 5.5 for zOS

Question & Answer


Question

Where is the documentation for TSM server for z/OS for the Time Zone parameters?

Answer


The TSM 5.5 server is POSIX-based (the server no longer uses SVM) and requires that the TZ variable be set for your time zone.

The time zone must be set as follows (this example assumes you are in Central Standard Time and Central Daylight Time):

PARM='POSIX(ON) ENVAR("TZ=CST+6CDT,M3.3.0/2,M11.2.0/2")/'

Notice the forward slash (/) at the end of the PARM value. This is required to distinguish LE Run Time parameters from TSM server parameters. LE Run Time parameters are before the slash and the TSM server parameters are after the slash.

Information for specifying the value for the TZ variable can be found in the book: z/OS VxRx.0 C/C++ Programming Guide (SC09-4765-08).
