• Shifts time zones for online regions so that your users see their local time and so that dated application file updates have the local time.
• Restarts a failing job at the date and time it failed, ensuring that file update and reports are not affected.
• Runs jobs that, because of unavoidable circumstances, are over a deadline so that they can finish on time.
• Operating systems supported: z/OS
