SYSPLEXOFFSET

Use the SYSPLEXOFFSET command to specify the SYSPLEX timer offset (Hypervisor date/time offset) value for the list of systems specified in the SID list.

The SYSPLEXOFFSET value is used to adjust the time stamps in the RMF and SMF data for the specified systems so that they can be synchronized with the current date and time.

Syntax

SYSPLEXOFFSET value SID= list

Syntax explanations

  • Value has the following syntax

    SDDDHHMM

S—+ or - sign ('+' sign can be omitted)

DDD—number of days

HH—number of hours

MM—number of minutes

  • List is a list of system IDs for which the SYSPLEXOFFSET value applies. Each system ID that you specify in this list must be separated from the others by a comma. There can be no blank spaces in the list.

Rules

  • All parameters are required.
  • The SYSPLEX Timer Offset (Hypervisor Date/Time Offset) is reported by RMF in the type 70 record (field SMF70HOF). The SYSPLEXOFFSET command is required by UIE because it does not require sorting of the input records and allows for processing records in any order as they are read. However, the value specified in the SYSPLEXOFFSET command must match the value reported in the RMF type 70 record.
Warning

Important

The Sysplex Timer Offset is independent from the GMT offset. To obtain the timestamp in GMT, UIE must subtract from the local timestamp both the Sysplex Timer Offset and the GMT offset.

Examples

SYSPLEXOFFSET +0100000 SID=SYSA

In this example, the SYSPLEXOFFSET for system SYSA is 10 days ahead of the current date and time.
