Problem |
It is not clear if Network Time Protocol (NTP) is
supported with WebSphere® Edge Components. NTP can cause unexpected
results within Edge Components. Due to this behavior IBM® cannot support
the use of NTP with Edge Components. |
|
Cause |
Development has reported that a "sleuth" mode set within
NTP can restrict the change in time to .1 seconds. This might allow Edge
Components to run without problems, but any time change related problems
encountered will not be supported other than with "best effort"
support. |
|
Solution |
Disable NTP on the systems running the Edge Components:
- For AIX®
"ntpdate" is used to control NTP functions.
- For Solaris
Simply remove the ntp rc startup script with "rm
/etc/rc2.d/S74xntpd".
- For Linux®
The "ntpd" daemon is used and can be found and killed with
"ps -ef|grep ntpd" then "kill
ntpd_pid#".
- For Microsoft® Windows®
It can be omitted as the "Windows Time" service has to be configured to
use this feature.
