Resolution
Are there any steps I have to take to accommodate for the Daylight Savings Time changes coming up later this year?
goal
Does the DST change impact the iSeries product?
fact
NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries
fact
NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries 8.0
cause
The start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) is changing in 2007 as a result of the Energy Policy Act which was signed into law. With this law, beginning in 2007 DST will start on the second Sunday of March and end on the first Sunday of November.
Daylight savings time will change:
From: 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in April
To: 2 a.m. the second Sunday in March (2007 = March 11)
And
From: 2 a.m. the last Sunday in October
To: 2 a.m. the first Sunday in November
fix
Please follow IBM's instructions to load PTFs that are appropriate for your AS400/iSeries/i5 OS release level. Here are some links that may be helpful to you. There is nothing you need to do directly to the NetIQ Solutions from Attachmate iSeries product as we use the IBM System value setting.
