7.8.2 Updating Time Zone Information
At this point in the upgrade, the procedure checks for the presence of time zone
and time differential factor (TDF) files on your system. If it does not find one or
the other of these files, the procedure prompts you for information to be used for
providing local time zone support.
For local time zone support to work correctly, the upgrade procedure must set
the time zone that accurately describes the location you want to be considered
as your default time zone. Usually, this is the time zone in which your system
is running. In addition, your system must be correctly configured to use a valid
OpenVMS time differential factor (TDF).
The procedure displays a series of time zone menus and prompts you to make
selections from those menus. The first menu is the main time zone menu. Select
the time zone that best describes your location. If you do not select a time zone,
the default is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Some time zone choices cause an additional menu to be displayed. This happens
when the time zone you select has subcomponents. For example, if you choose the
United States (US) time zone from the main menu, a second menu displays the
specific time zones within the United States. You then select the menu item that
best represents your local time zone.
The procedure then prompts you for the TDF. The TDF is the difference
between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is
an international standard for measuring time of day. You can choose from the
following options:
• Exit the time zone procedure without setting a TDF
• Set a TDF
• Display the TDF for your local time zone
For more information about TDF and local time zone support, refer to the
OpenVMS System Manager’s Manual.
