7.3.2.9 Global and System Level GMT Time Offsets

 
 The raw data time and datetime fields in the SMF type 120
 records are recorded in GMT time.  The raw data time and
 datetime fields in the SMF type 103 and the USS generated WEB
 log files are recorded in local time.
 
 In order to allow you to store all WEB related data in local
 time, regardless of the data source, two optional statements
 are provided:
 
 o  GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn
 o  GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn
 
 These statements, if coded, only affect the date and time
 related data elements in the files created from the SMF type
 120 records.  The SMF type 120 record subtypes processed by
 this analyzer are described in section 6.2.1.2.
 
 The following Web Analyzer files created from the SMF type
 120 records are affected by use of the GMT time offset
 statements:
 
 o  WEBHPI   JVM Heap Interval File
 o  WEBSAF   WAS Server Activity File
 o  WEBSIF   WAS Server Interval File
 o  WEBMIJ   J2EE Method Interval File
 o  WEBHTP   HTTP Session Manager Interval File
 o  WEBSRV   WebContainer Servlet Interval File
 
 Refer to section 5.2 for more information about these files.
 
 Note that the time offset only affects the date and time
 fields in the CA MICS database records, but does not affect
 the datetime stamp in the prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA data set.
 That time stamp represents the time and date that SMF data
 was written to the SMF buffer and is already in local time.
 
 The GMT time offset statements are described in the following
 sections:
 
 1  GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn Statement
 2  GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn Statement
