Hi,

The difference of time between HP-UX servers and Oracle Database.

Need an expertise view before i make any changes to the timezone and date on HP-UX server 11iv1.

# After stopping database and make a change in timezone and date on HP-UX 11.11 via (set_params)

# Does it effect the TZ-Agents of database and restrict to start.

# Or the behavior of database will be OK after time change on UNIX side .

#If i need to take any precaution lets me know before doing this task.

#As i did this task on HP-UX 11i V3 without any reboot successfully, But 11iv1 require boot after timezone change which matters me about the oracle database start up specially TZ agents of Database.

Help me to work on this issue ......

Hi,

As i am planning to change time zone on unix server require your expertise feedback without disturbing Database.


#I perform this task on HP-UX 11i V3 its works without any hurdle.

#Due to HP-UX 11i v1 which require reboot after making changes in TIMEZONE.

#First stop the database
#From GUI change the timezone,date and then reboot

### IMP Questions ###

# AFter making changes via set_params can i start my database smoothly or it create TZ-AGENT problem.

So kindly if you guide me with your live experience as i am worried only about DB.

Thanks & Rgd's

Hi All,

When i login as system the time is 08:01:36 and login as system@instance2 the time is 12:01:27 where as HP-UX & sqlplus time is 08:28:15 which is ok.


Do i need to change HP-UX . ./.oraenv.<DB NAME> variable to get actual date.


Any update will be appreciated to over come with this issue .........
