Remember that being an environment variable, it's picked up when a process
starts so anything which is already running will still be using the old
setting. There's something to be said for a reboot, to make sure that
everything uses the correct setting. At least, restart cron.

Robert,
Unless there is something wrong with the reading of TZ, then, yes, all you
have to do is alter the value of TZ in /etc/environments file.
Looking at the fixes for 5.1 and 5.2 and some of 5.3, it looks like the
fixes are for SMIT or WLM which you get around by just doing the editing.
Of course, if you install a box at the lower ML level, you will have to
re-do the edit of the TZ variable.
We have some very critical 5.3 boxes that are not at the minimum TL4 level,
but we do not plan, for now, to touch them.... So we may be editing the TZ
variable also.
Good luck

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?

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
