We are running SAP on AIX, and backend is DB2 V9 on Z/OS. We would like to use UTC time, but have a slight issue with changing the entire sysplex to use UTC, instead of UTC with offsets due to other Z/OS LPARS running on the same HW box. I know that you can request UTC from Z/OS specifically if you run the correct commands. The issue we have is that SAP inquires of DB2 what the time is, and it responds with local time (UTC-5 in this case). Is there a way to get DB2 to respond to SAP with just UTC without altering the Sysplex timer to UTC w/o offsets, or get one set of Z/OS Lpars to use UTC w/o effecting other LPARS running on the same HW Box?
Thanks!
