9.5 Time Adjustment
A System Time Adjust window ( Figure 9-6 ) can be launched from the Utilities menu. This utlity allows you
to adjust system time to a maximum of plus or minus five minutes. To access this utility, select Menu >
Utilities > Time Adjustment.
9.5.1 The Adjustment Option
The Time Adjustment window provides information about the current state of the system time service.
The following elements provide information the user needs when issuing a new time adjustment to the
system:
• The Current Time field provides the current system time. This field is adjusted every half
second.
• The Target Time field provides the target time of the new adjustment operation. This field is
adjusted every half second.
• The Adjustment entry box is used to enter a time adjustment, in seconds, into the system.
Entering a value in this box results in the Target Time field being updated to indicate the effect
of the proposed change prior to committing it. The entry in this entry box will be limited to plus
or minus 300 seconds. The time adjustment rate is two seconds of adjustment per minute.
The buttons provided at the bottom of the Time Adjustment window are OK and Cancel.
Enter the number of seconds to adjust the system time. The application issues a request to the Micro-PWC
time server to adjust the time to the new settings. The application then issues a notification to each Micro-
PWC server to indicate the start of a time adjustment. This includes all servers in all sub-domains.
Click OK to perform the operation and close the dialog. This button is dimmed and inactive if the current
user does not have database configuration access.
