| We are having the same problem mentioned in .0 ever since daylight savings
time started. As mentioned before, we use UCX NTP to synchromize clocks
between systems. This seems to work fine and the clocks are within time
tolerance.
Still, the DCE startup fails with the exact same error mentioned in .0. As
suggested by the product guide (troubleshooting section) I checked the logicals
SYS$TIME* and noticed the following:
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING" = "0"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "-18000"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME" = "EST"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE" = "EST5EDT4,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2"
These values seem in error but it's not surprising since we don't use
DTS. The manual suggests running a DTSS procedure to fix the problem which
implies that DTS *is* required for DCE operation.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can DCE really be run without DTS?
If so, how does one get around this problem every six months if DTS is not
active?
Thanks for your ideas,
Jim
