Re: time zone

Re: time zone

Rob,

please read the comments/code at the beginning of SYS$STARTUP:VMS$BASEENVIRON-050_VMS.COM

If you did not configure DECnet-Plus and did not also define NET$DISABLE_DTSS (in SYLOGICALS.COM), then TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM may not be invoked during boot.

Make sure the timezone information in the last line of SYS$STARTUP:xxx$UTC_STARTUP.COM is correct for your desired timezone (xxx=TDF or DTSS). If not, run @sys$manager:utc$time_setup

Re: time zone

Thanks Volker - setting the DISABLE_DTSS logical did the trick.

Re: time zone

Would setting the NET$DISABLE_DTSS logical and rerunning SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM on a live system fix the problem, or do I need a reboot before the next time change?

Re: time zone

Neil,

if you look at the code in TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM, you'll recognize, that it will immediately exit, if the SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE logical is already defined.

So the answer to your question is: NO

To fix the time zone without a reboot, just run @SYS$STARTUP:UTC$TIME_SETUP

Volker.
