Introduction

UTC—Coordinated Universal Time—is the 24-hour time standard used as a basis for civil time today. All time zones are defined by their offset from UTC. The offset is expressed as either UTC- or UTC+ and the number of hours and minutes. Deployment Units can have UTCs set against them to ensure it is using the local time zone.

Here’s how to set the UTC against a DU.

• Switch to Administration->Deployment Units->Details Config (1)
