Setting Clocks Ahead

Setting clocks forward in the Spring or when the system time needs to be set later than its current setting does not present any special problems. If the system is not networked with other BRMS systems just implement Step 4 below. To change the system time on a networked system, follow steps 1–5.

1. DSPPFM on QA1ANET in QUSRBRM and ensure that there are no records in the file. If there are records, then updates have not synchronized yet. Allow the records to synchronized to all systems before changing the time.
2. Ensure that no BRMS operations are occurring on any system in the network, such as saves, movement, or maintenance.
3. Hold the job queue Q1ABRMNET in the Q1ABRMNET subsystem. (Use the WRKJOBQ command). An alternative is to use option 8 (Set Time) from the Change Network Group display. To get to this display:
   1. Type GO BRMSYSPCY and press Enter.
   2. Select Option 4 (Change network group) and press Enter.
   3. Type 8 to set the system date and time on the designated system to that of the current system.
      Note:

      Do not use this function for remote systems in different time zones if you do not want these systems synchronized to the same time as the current system.
4. Change the clocks forward on all systems using the CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QTIME) command.
5. When all systems' clocks have been set, release the Q1ABRMNET job queue and resume BRMS operations.
