WEB Global and System Level GMT Time Offsets
The raw data time and datetime fields in the SMF type 120 records are recorded in GMT time. The raw data time and datetime fields in the SMF type 103 and the USS generated WEB log files are recorded in local time.

The raw data time and datetime fields in the SMF type 120 records are recorded in GMT time. The raw data time and datetime fields in the SMF type 103 and the USS generated WEB log files are recorded in local time.
In order to allow you to store all WEB related data in local time, regardless of the data source, two following optional statements are provided.
These statements, if coded, only affect the date and time related data elements in the files created from the SMF type 120 records. The SMF type 120 record subtypes processed by this analyzer are described in the SMF Type 120 Record section in WEB Record Description.
The following Web Analyzer files created from the SMF type 120 records are affected by use of the GMT time offset statements:
For more information about these files, see WEB Information Area Files.
Note:
The time offset only affects the date and time fields in the MICS
database records, but does not affect the datetime stamp in the prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA data set. That time stamp represents the time and date that SMF data was written to the SMF buffer and is already in local time.GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn Statement
This statement is optional and lets you define a global time offset value for every system. This default time offset can be overridden at the original (ORGSYSID) level by coding a GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn statement.
This statement has the following format:
GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn
+/-
Indicates whether the offset value should be added to (+) or subtracted from (-) the raw data time values. If not coded, a plus sign (+) is assumed.
nn.nn
The adjustment time in hours and fractions of hours that will be added to, or subtracted from, the raw data time values. The range supported is any value from -13.00 through 13.00 hours. The fractional portion is provided to accommodate countries with non-hour boundary timezones.
Note:
The fractional part represents fractions of an hour, not minutes. This means that .5 equals 30 minutes and .25 equals 15 minutes.Examples:
GLOBAL GMTOFF -5
5 hours (18000 seconds) will be subtracted from raw data time values for all systems.
GLOBAL GMTOFF 2.5
2 hours 30 minutes (9000 seconds) will be added to raw data time values for all systems.
GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn Statement
This statement is optional and lets you define a time offset value for a specific system. The time offset value defined with this statement affects only the system whose original sysid value is coded on the statement. It overrides, for the system specified, the value specified in the GLOBAL GMTOFF statement.
Note:
It is not necessary to have a GLOBAL GMTOFF statement coded in order to use the GMTOFF statement.This statement has the following format:
GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn
orgsysid
The original system identifier (ORGSYSID) found in raw data. It can be up to 4 EBCDIC characters and is input from offset 11 in the SMF type 120 record.
+/-
Indicates whether the offset value should be added to (+) or subtracted from (-) the raw data time values. If not coded, a plus sign (+) is assumed.
nn.nn
The adjustment time in hours and fractions of hours that will be added to, or subtracted from, the raw data time values. The range supported is any value from -13.00 through 13.00 hours. The fractional portion is provided to accommodate countries with non-hour boundary timezones.
Note:
The fractional part represents fractions of an hour, not minutes. This means that .5 equals 30 minutes and .25 equals 15 minutes.Examples:
GMTOFF TSO1 -5
5 hours (18000 seconds) will be subtracted from raw data time values for system TSO1.
GMTOFF SYS1 2.5
2 hours 30 minutes (9000 seconds) will be added to raw data time values for system SYS1.
