HourGlass

Ensure the accuracy of time-sensitive applications

HourGlass is a z/OS system application, allowing sites to alter the Date/Time returned to a z/OS application when a time request is made (SVC 11 or PC Time Requests).

• Patterns or specific applications, transactions, users, and address space names can be specified to limit the scope at which HourGlass will alter returned date/time information.
• IBM HourGlass accurately simulates date and time processing for thorough application testing.
• Coordinates reporting and data transfers across time zones.
• Identifies applications that request the system date and time, and resolve potential problems before they occur.
