The offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of the syslog time in the timestamp of TRMD messages is determined by the TZ environment variable described in z/OS UNIX System Services User's Guide.
To cause the timestamp to appear
in coordinated universal time (UTC), specify the TZ environment variable
in the start TRMD procedure. For example:
// PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)',
// 'ENVAR("LIBPATH=/usr/lib"',
// '"TZ=0")/-d 1') Use the S TRMD command on an MVS™ console or SDSF to start the TRM daemon. A sample procedure is included in member EZATRMD in SEZAINST.
//TRMD PROC

//* IBM Communications Server for z/OS

//* 5650-ZOS Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 2013
//* Licensed Materials - Property of IBM

//*
//* Status = CSV2R1
//*
//* Function: Sample procedure for running the Traffic
//* Regulator Management Daemon (TRMD)
//*
//TRMD EXEC PGM=EZATRMD,REGION=4096K,TIME=NOLIMIT,
// PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)',
// 'ENVAR("LIBPATH=/usr/lib")/')
//*
//*** Notes:
//*
//* - TRMD can also be invoked from the Unix System Services shell
//* as a shell command: trmd
//*
//* - The system link list concatenation must contain the TCP/IP
//* runtime libraries and the C runtime libraries. If they are
//* not in the link list concatenation, this procedure will need
//* to be changed to STEPLIB to them.
//*
//* - To pass parameters to TRMD, specify them after the final slash
//* on the PARM statement. For example:
//* // PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)/-d 1')
//*
//* - TRMD must find the TCP/IP job name with which it should be
//* associated. It uses the -p start option or the TCPIPJOBNAME value
//* from the TCPIP.DATA file. The TCPIP.DATA file used can be
//* controlled by setting the RESOLVER_CONFIG environment variable.
//* See examples below.
//*
//*** Examples for specifying environment variables and parameters
//*** (parameters must extend to column 71 and be continued in
//*** column 16):
//*
//* Example 1: Environment variables inline, MVS resolver data set
//*
//* PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)',
//* 'ENVAR("RESOLVER_CONFIG=//''SYS1.TCPPARMS(TCPDATA)''","TZ=EST5EDT
//* ")/')
//*
//* Example 2: Environment variables inline, UNIX resolver file
//*
//* PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)',
//* 'ENVAR("RESOLVER_CONFIG=/etc/resolv.conf","TZ=EST5EDT")/')
//*
//* Example 3: Environment variables in STDENV DD
//*
//* PARM=('POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)',
//* 'ENVAR("_CEE_ENVFILE_S=DD:STDENV")/')
//*
//* For this method, the STDENV DD statement below must be
//* changed to point to a MVS data set or UNIX file containing
//* settings for any environment variables. For example, it should
//* contain at least TZ (unless you choose to specify TZ in a
//* different fashion), but can contain other environment variables
//* as in this example:
//*
//* RESOLVER_CONFIG=//'SYS1.TCPPARMS(TCPDATA)'
//* TZ=EST5EDT
//*
//* If you want to include comments in the data set or
//* z/OS UNIX file, specify the _CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT
//* environment variable as the first environment variable
//* in the data set or file. The value specified for
//* the _CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT variable is the comment character.
//* For example, if you want to use the pound sign, #, as
//* the comment character, specify this as the first
//* statement:
//* _CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT=#
//*
//* The use of the STDENV DD statement works well when more than
//* one environment variable is specified, as there is a JCL limit
//* of 100 characters on the PARM statement.
//*
//* Note: Language Environment recommends a variable record format
//* for the STDENV file.
//*
//* You can also set the TZ environment variable for all applications
//* in the CEEPRMxx PARMLIB member. You should define the TZ
//* environment variable for all three LE option sets (CEEDOPT,
//* CEECOPT, and CELQDOPT). For example:
//*
//* CEECOPT(ALL31(ON), ENVAR('TZ=EST5EDT') )
//* CEEDOPT(ALL31(ON), ENVAR('TZ=EST5EDT') )
//* CELQDOPT(ALL31(ON), ENVAR('TZ=EST5EDT') )
//*
//* For more information on specifying run-time options, see z/OS
//* Language Environment Programming Guide. For details on setting
//* the LIBPATH and TZ environment variables, see z/OS UNIX System
//* Services Command Reference.
