RE: Time change.

Informix is using internal timestamps for running jobs at cronjob. If you change the time, it might cause the cronjob failure. If you're having this problem, you can change back the current date and restart the database engine. -----Original Message----- From: rwilson@ntsource.com [mailto:rwilson@ntsource.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2000 9:42 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: Time change. I do remember running into problems during Y2K testing... You had to bring down Informix when you were changing dates. Of course, we were changing months at a time and not hours... Informix is using internal timestamps so that is not what was causing the problem. I would suggest using your test instance (if you have one) and resetting its clock while Informix is running. I recommend a good backup first, though.
