Multiple Time Zones Maintenance
Use Multiple Time Zones Maintenance (36.16.22.1) to define and modify
time zones.
Note The Multiple Time Zones Load Utility creates sample data upon
which you can base your own time zones.
This program supports two ways of setting up a time zone:
• In the simplest format, you can base a time zone on an offset from
GMT.
• The system can also track daylight savings time adjustments from a
baseline you set.
If you choose the second approach, you must specify when the change in
time occurs. You can also use effective dates with time zone information,
if the start and end points for daylight savings time only apply for a range
of years.
After you define the time zones, you can generate reports with Multiple
Time Zones Report (36.16.22.3). Figure 8.16 illustrates Multiple Time
Zones Maintenance.
