Hi together,

we have some $U environments with tasks for different time zones.
For example: the server time is EDT (US Eastern Daylight Time), with a lot of tasks based on that time. Other tasks are running for Brazil. Right now they have winter time, their time zone is BRT, with an offset of +1 hour to the server time.
The offsets to Germany ( to my GCO client) is -5 h for EDT and -4 h for BRT. Germany is changing to Daylight time on March, 29th.
When times are changing from winter to summer time and vice versa, the offsets change, too. Then we have to change the schedules of the tasks manually.

So now:
How can I use the time zone feature of $U in order to leave the schedules as they are and just change the offsets twice a year? I know I can define MUs with offsets but are quite confused with the displays of Global control and Graphical Job Monitor.
Which times appears when I want to launch a job?
What about the processing day when the launch is around midnight? Rules?

We use one GJM to display all $Us in one environment. So we have servers with German, Shanghai and US times. When I switch the display to MU-Time and use an offset for the display (e.g. completed jobs of the last 5 hours), the calculation of the display is based on the time of my GJM. That means I miss jobs of the American server. Also I see too much jobs of the Shanghai server.

Quite difficult, isn't it?

I really hope someone can help.

Installations: $U 513 with patches, $U 533 with patches, GCO 2.4

Best regards
Monika
