Re: Using Mult Time Zone stamping for purchase orders, sales
Kent,
I come from a Unix environment and I always understood Timezone as a USER
specific setting, not machine specific. A machine should always store GMT
and calculate a user´s date and time according to his/her TZ setting. NT
is not very different. I can only guess that AS/400 should have some
similar features.
What platform are your app servers going to be? I know on Unix it is very
easy to have different batch queues running in different TZs. On NT I
have experimented with the same and I think that would be possible too.
No need to have an extra server for each TZ, just different queues. This
is for UBEs and app servers.
Now as for your JAS I do not know. I know it is possible (and even
recommended) to run several "Websphere Application Servers" on different
IP ports like 81,82,83, etc (these are NOT OW application servers nor
JDENET port numbers). I would not know how to tell each of these
Websphere App-servers to run in different timezones.
There is no way to map BSFNs to run on your JAVA-Server. And the "CALL
OBJECT KERNELs" (Kernels running the BSFN) are all started by the same
user on the OW-app-server, the same user that starts JDENET. So they will
all have the same TZ setting.
Looks like a tough problem. Let us know how far you get.
