Re: Time Change DST 2007 question

Best I could tell from trying to download the APAR is that for 5.2 you'll
need to go to ML8 if you're not already. If you check the box labelled
'keep me at my current maintenance level', it won't let you download the fix
until you change the level you're at to ML8.

I have some news from a vendor that the workaround for 4.3.X may work, but
it's unverified as of yet... can anyone confirm or deny that simply changing
the TZ environment variable will work?

Subject: Time Change DST 2007 question



Admins,



Below I have copied from IBM web page recommended "Apars" for the DST change
in 2007. I want to make sure I have this all ready to go. I currently have
some machines running 5.1 and 5.2 and was wondering if these below will
cover what I need. Also, would any of these require a reboot of the
systems? Thank you for your time in advance. I am currently in EST.



Thanks

Larry
