Setting your time zone

You can set the time zone you want the application to use to display your data. The time zone setting affects the display throughout the application. It does not affect the data.

For creation of Projection Models, Playback files, and Calendar events, the application uses the local time zone of your Db2 regardless of your selection here. 

For database backup, database cleanup, and generating analytics data , the application uses the local time zone where your BMC AMI Manager is installed.
