Dataminer Server time zone config

Hi,

All our Dataminer servers are set to use timezone (UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, however, one of our DMA hosts in a failover pair is not set to automatically adjust for DST.

1.) Is it safe to change this server in the failover pair to match it's companion?

2.) What's the recommended timezone configuration for London?

3.) Does Dataminer internally use UTC, e.g. for SRM bookings/events?

Thanks

Hi Chirs,

  1. It should be safe to update the DST time setting on your server to match the configuration of the other agents.
  2. There is no recommended timezone, this is a user preference. The only requirement is to have the same timezone (and other time settings) on all DataMiner agents in the system.
  3. Yes, DataMiner will use UTC internally and translate this to the relevant timezone.
