In the coming weeks the DST is changed here in Sweden and I would like to fix an old problem that never got corrected here (was an issue before I took over).
What I want to do is to set the auto_dlight_saving setting to 1 but I can't reboot at the moment.
Is it neccessery to reboot the machines when I set these values or can it wait?
And is there any way to get the system to find this update without rebooting?
Best regards
Fredrik Eriksson

SolutionIf the parameter is marked DYNAMIC in the display to a SYSGEN SHOW command, then a reboot is not needed (the version was not mentioned, in 7.3-2, AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV is NOT dynamic; I do not have a later system "hot" at this instant).
If it is not DYNAMIC, a reboot will be needed before the setting takes effect. If all that is worried about is the next DST change, then it can wait.
Please note that forgetting about a pending setting change made but not active is a common accident.

Re: Sysgen variable change require reboot?
So there is no need to reboot it when the change has been done *phew*. Everything I've read on the internet so far hasn't really said anything other then that a reboot is required for this too work (the auto_dlight_sav part, but I guess that's just because it's not active before the reboot). I've got limited experience dealing with sysgen and the help files didn't really clarify this situation.
I agree, probably quite common problem. But I need to plan reboots ahead and I don't want to miss this window incase the machines decide crash for some reason before this.
Anyway, even if I can't get a reboot done in time I've made a queued batch job with the com procedure from sys$common:[syshlp.examples]daylight_savings.com, which after I looked at it seems to ignore running if the auto_dlight_sav sysgen variable is set to 1.

Re: Sysgen variable change require reboot?
If you could send me a mail with your contactinfo, I could give you a call and I could explain more about SYSGEN, AUTOGEN.....in swedish.

Re: Sysgen variable change require reboot?
For stuff related to disks (acp*) you need to remount the disks.
For stuff related to processes you need to restart the process.
