2105.0. "Postmaster: time difference btw arrival & date" by ZPOVC::GEORGEKOH () Mon Jan 18 1993 10:43

When the postmaster send a "Message Delivery Report" there is a
difference in time between "arrival date" and "date".
 
Was it during configuration between the local and GMT time?

Any pointer or help will be appreciated.

George.

Hi George,

Well, I'll try and provoke an ALL-IN-1 engineer into replying by making some 
statements which certainly USED to be true. I THINK they still are, but it's 
been a while . . .

ALL-IN-1 and Message Router do not go to DTSS to get times. Both products have 
their own offset from GMT. MR uses GMT for 'network time'. If your local time 
is not at GMT, then you have to set the difference.

Your MB$CONFIG shows that you haven't set local time to MR - so your local MR 
(which writes the times into the delivery report) thinks it's running on GMT:

>$ @sys$manager:mb$config sho ms

>>>>> Difference between network time and local time : 00:00 <<<<<<<<

However, your local DTSS seems to show an 8-hour difference:

>DTSS> sho all
>Advertisement Interval          +0-01:30:00.000I0.000
>Check Interval                  +0-01:30:00.000I0.000
>Error Tolerance                 +0-00:10:00.000I0.000
>>>>>Local Time Differential Factor  +0-08:00:00.000I0.000 <<<<<

So use MB$CONFIG (see the MAILbus management guide) to set your local time to 
be offset from GMT. (And also set it in ALL-IN-1 so times look right on mail 
messages).
