NTP protocol and effects of it in Informix environment...

All: We out here in our environment are going towards implementing NTP (Network Time Protocol) We are however concerned with the impact the changing of time will have on the Informix database and its operation. In an online evironment the time server and clients should not be out ot sync more than a second (this assuming the hardware clock is working properly). If however the client looses connectivity for an extended period it could result in the time being changed by more than a second. Our questions to you are: 1) How will informix react to the change in time? 2) How will this affect a replication setup (as we intend to deploy on all machines)? 3) Are there any "best practices" set out by Informix for the deployment of Informix in a NTP environment? Please, provide any feedback that you can give. regards... __________________________________________________ Rulesh Felix Rebello Informix DBA Off # 1-(876)-927-1125 X 3831 Cell # 1-(876)-853-5702
