5625.0. "Winter and Summer Time" by COL01::LOPEZ (Arturo Lopez drinks K�lsch at Cologne) Wed Sep 29 1993 13:06

    Hi Folks,
    
    I run DECmcc V1.3 on VMS and user DNS.
    
    Which parameter (DECmcc and DNS) do I have to take care of, when I
    change the sommer to winter time ?
    
    I know there are some with DNS on VMS, when changing the system time.
    
    Any Help appreciated.

5625.1	Without DNS ...	PRSSUD::THOMAS		`Thu Sep 30 1993 10:22`	15
	HI, I have not DNS and I do a set time ... It is not really a good idea cause I corrupted some databases ... RDB does not care (exporter) but MIR does not resist ... Hopfully, I have a good backup ... I think that I must shutdown DECmcc, do a set time, wait 1 hour, start DECmcc again, and it should be OK. Is it right? Thanks, Brigitte
5625.2	Change Logical and DNS Timezone	SPANKY::SAWYER		`Thu Sep 30 1993 11:05`	19
	Arturo, I'm not quite sure what you're asking but I think that you're asking if you're putting your clocks back an hour how do you change the tdf for decmcc. If this is the case, then you would want to edit SYS$STARTUP:MCC_LOGICAL_DIR.COM and change the logical MCC_TDF to the correct differential and then @SYS$STARTUP:MCC_LOGICAL_DIR.COM Also, in DNS DNS> SET TIMEZONE -4:00 This should do the trick. Hope this helps, - Rob
5625.3	force system to ask for date/time	CSOADM::ROTH	Former K-notes, NOTES11 and Vnotes user	`Thu Sep 30 1993 11:58`	17
	This is from way, way back in my memory, so it may not be correct... On VAX systems, at reboot time, you should be able to do this: >>>D/ID 1 0 This will zero ID register #1, which is the time clock. Then, when you reboot it will be sure to prompt you for the date and time. In many years past I have shutdown VMS systems, waited an hour, zeroed the ID register (as above) and then rebooted just to keep from zorching the mind of various pieces of software that I had to work with. I hope my memory is correct on the above command. Lee
5625.4	That's it	COL01::LOPEZ	Arturo Lopez drinks K�lsch at Cologne	`Fri Oct 01 1993 07:09`	5
	Rob, thanks for the hints. I think that will do it. Arturo
