Could it be a time zone issue - that it was changed inadvertently, and now
the data is being displayed/dumped based on that?  Just a guess...

Hi all,

I've a strange problem for which I'm still waiting for the IBM support
team to reply.

My customer did an snmpColDump on 16/03/99 & got valid figures.  But on
26/03/99, he did another snmpColDump on the same data file (of course
with accumulated data).  The problem now is that, for the data time has
shifted 14 hours.  I can tell that the time has shifted because the data
are still in sequence with the same values, except that the hours have
shifted.  He tried other data files & all have the same problem.

How can the time change for data that has already been collected?  I'm
really puzzled.

I'll appreciate any help rendered.  Thanks.

regards,
Jeanie
